Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1″ model announced
A while back we reported on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, which at that time of announcement was revealed to be a 7” tablet running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However if you feel that 7” might be a bit too small for your liking, you’ll be pleased to hear that a 10.1” model of the Galaxy Tab 2 has been announced by Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) will sport a 10.1” PLS TFT display with a resolution of 1280×800, but apart from the larger screen, the device will come with the same hardware specs as its smaller sized sibling. This means that under the hood, users can expect to find a 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM, a 3MP rear-facing camera, a VGA front-facing camera, HSPA+, WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity.
It will sport a 7,000mAh battery and will be available in 16/32GB sizes and will come with a host of Samsung apps preinstalled, such as the ChatON messaging service. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is expected to see a global launch in March starting in the UK, but its pricing remains unknown for now. In the mean time if you’d like to check out a more powerful Samsung tablet of the 10.1” variety, perhaps you might be interested in the Galaxy Note 10.1.
So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
If you would like to fancy your chances with an upcoming mid-range device that seems to hover more on the higher end scheme of things, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 would certainly fit you to a ‘t’, so to speak. After all, accessory manufacturer ITSKINS has shared more details concerning this device, with the Galaxy A9 touted to be a wee bit more compact as opposed to the Galaxy S7 Plus, never mind that both handsets will come with 6.0″ screens.
Measurements of the Galaxy A9 include 161.9mm x 81.3mm x 7.34mm, where it would be slightly taller than the Galaxy Note5, while sporting a metal and glass design, a fingerprint reader that should be able to handle mobile payments, a Full HD Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 620 chipset, among others.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will no doubt be a smartphone that many people would look forward to picking up when it is ready, taking into consideration how flagship devices are always in demand. Well, the Galaxy S7 has been said to target an early 2016 release, and some photos of the alleged device has already been snapped, although one should take into consideration that the original Weibo post is no longer there.
Of course, do take this particular leak with a pinch of salt, since it could be one of the numerous smartphones from various manufacturers that could roll out a similar looking handset. In the leaked photos, you can see a wrap-around metal border design, which seems to be the in thing at least for the next couple of years. All that we can do now is to sit tight and wait for the real deal to surface.
