Samsung to add two new Galaxy Tabs to its tablet portfolio

Samsung has announced Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet featuring a 7.7 inch screen and adds new screen size to the tablet world. With this Samsung has 7.0, 7.7, 8.9, 10 inch screen sizes for its tablets.

Samsung has added two more tablets to its portfolio with the announcement of Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and Galaxy Tab 7.7 inch. While the 7.0 Plus is expected to replace the Galaxy Tab 7, Galaxy Tab 7.7 will be the fourth tablet in the entire portfolio of Samsung.

Currently Samsung sells 7.0, 8.9, and 10 inch tablets. Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will hit the markets by end of October in countries like Austria and Thailand and in Italy by mid November.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus features Android 3.2, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 7 inch (1024 x 600) PLS LCD, 1 GB RAM, 16/32 GB of built-in storage, a micro SD card slot, a 3 megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash, a front facing 2 megapixel camera, and 4,000 mAh battery. Since it is an upgrade to the current Tab 7.0, it is expected to be priced slightly higher than the outgoing model.

The other tablet announced by Samsung is the Galaxy Tab 7.7. As the name suggests, it has a 7.7 inch (1280 x 800) Super Amoled Plus display panel. It runs Android 3.2 with Samsung's tablet-optimised TouchWiz UX layered on top.

Inside, it runs the same Samsung-made dual-core 1.4 GHz processor found in the new Galaxy Note along with an HSPA+">HSPA+ radio promising theoretical download speeds as high as 21 Mbps.

The tablet is light weight at 335-gram, and has 16 GB to 64 GB of internal storage variants, a micro SD card slot, a 5,100 mAh battery rated for 10 hours, 802.11n WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and 3 megapixel back camera and a 2 megapixel front facing camera.

Though it is difficult to speculate the price of this tablet, it should be slotted somewhere in between the 7.0 plus and 8.9 inch version, which should be close Rs 30,000. No launch date is available as Samsung spokesperson remained unavailable through out the day, however we expect it to be launched during Christmas (end of December this year) as the current festive season will be over very soon and so only apt time will be December.

Some critics say that such a wide range will confuse people about the size that they should buy, driving them to the arch rival Apple iPad.

Samsung Galaxy Tab may come with retina display

The new Samsung tablet is believed to have 11.6-inch screen, with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution.

Samsung is preparing to unveil a new Galaxy Tab with retina display, which is regarded as the best so far. A website, quoting its sources, said that this will be an 11.6 inch tablet with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system running underneath.

Retina display is known for its high pixel density due to which the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Technically speaking, if the display produces images in about 300 pixels per inch, then it is known as retina display. At this pixel density, images look sharp on the display.

Retina Display currently is available on iPhone 4 where images are seen in 960x640-pixel resolution. The phone is available for Rs 34,000 in India. The next tablet from Apple, iPad 3 will also have retina display in them.

The new Samsung tablet is believed to have an 11.6 inch screen, with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, almost equal to retina display. It's also believed to come with 2GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 CPU and a 16:10 aspect ratio. The device is said to have a "special wireless docking mode" which will allow the users to enjoy gaming on HDTVs.
