Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 confirmed: specs revealed
Take two for the Tab, which now boasts a 10.1" screen
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7100) sees Samsung setting itself up as a serious contender for the iPad.
Announced just before the Samsung's official Mobile World Congress 2011 press announcement, the Samsung Galaxy Tab II has a number of upgraded specifications from its predecessor.
The top-line specifications include a bigger screen. This time the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is sporting a 10.1-inch, 1,280x800-pixel display - hence the name.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a 1GHz dual-core processor, 802.11n Wi-Fi and HSPA+ HSPA+ and Bluetooth 3.0.
You'll be glad to hear that is seems that Samsung hasn't actually done any customisation to Android 3.0, so we should see the OS come in its purest form.
Coming to Vodafone
Vodafone has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be coming to its network, with other specs for the tab including that it will be a very thin 10.9mm and will weigh just 599g.
