Samsung announces Galaxy Tab 2 series, with last year’s specs
The Mobile World Congress madness is taking off. While it is going to be the year of the quad-core processor, for Barcelona, there is also a plethora of dual-core goodness coming. An example is the Galaxy Tab 2 series, which have just been announced by Samsung.
The Galaxy Tab 2 tablets will come in WiFi-only and 3G versions, as well as 7-inch and 10.1-inch form-factors. You can pick your own preferences. The main difference between the two is that the battery for the 7-inch version is only a 4,000 mAh one, while the 10.1 device has a whopping 7,000 mAh battery.
We will have time to spend some hands-on time later on, so stay tuned to see how these tablets do. We should also be expecting that 10-inch Galaxy Note we have been seeing around.
