Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Unveiled, Flaunts Super AMOLED Plus with Highest Pixel Density

Ahead of the IFA actual event in Berlin, Germany, Samsung just announced another 7-incher tablet, but this time with faster processor and better display quality.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 flaunts, well, a 7.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution. This WXGA display resolution gives the Galaxy Tab 7.7 the highest pixel density in any tablet today at 196dpi.

This slate also got the same 1.4GHz dual-core CPU as the GALAXY Note, the same chipset as the GALAXY S II, up to 64GB of internal storage, rear and front-facing cameras, massive 5100 mAh battery, and supports HSPA+ connectivity. It runs Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) and dons Samsung TouchWiz UI for tablets.
