Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 (P7100) is Official: Just Another Honeycomb Tablet Unveiled in Barcelona!

Well. Oh well. The second tablet iteration by the Korean phone and tablet maker is now official, finally, after being showcased at the on-going MWC 2011 in Barcelona.



We’ve been teased a lot in the past few days regarding its hardware specs, features, or even what moniker it gets; but no, Samsung won’t be calling it as Samsung Galaxy Tab II. The new tablet by Sammy is called Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1, Model P7100. Oh, that’s pretty obvious why, at least by now. That’s because it dons a much bigger and wider display, to be specific, a 10.1-inch WXGA TFT LCD display. I can actually feel the intuitive interface of this tablet, thanks to its Honeycomb OS. Hopefully it will land here in the Philippines the soonest, so we can take our hands on this bad boy.

The Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 is powered by a dual-core application processor and will be available both with 16GB or 32GB internal storage. Every specs of this new tablet is obviously better than the first Galaxy Tab.

And to be honest, you have to look on this considering new entries for this year’s competition of Honeycomb-based tablets like the Xoom or even those using other platforms in the name of TouchPad, PlayBook, or the much anticipated second generation iPad from Apple.

Like the Samsung Galaxy S II, this Tab will be launching before Q2, most probably by March, in Asia and Europe. Surely, we’ll get to see this tablet here in the Philippines anytime soon. For the meantime, you may check out full specs after the break.
