Samsung’s newest 10 inch tablet probably isn’t going to blow you away with its specs. It features mediocre cameras and a screen you would have expected to find on an Android tablet in 2011.
But while Samsung hasn’t announced how much the new Galaxy Tab 3 (10.1) will cost, I suspect you’ll be able to pick one up for far less than the price of a $499 Apple iPad.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (10.1) features a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, a 3MP rear camera, and a 1.3MP front-facing camera.
It’ll be available with 16GB to 32GB of storage, and there’s a microSD card slot if you need extra storage space.
The tablet has 1GB of RAM, and a 1.6 GHz dual core processor. Samsung’s press release doesn’t say which dual core processor the tablet will have, but Reuters reports that it’s an Intel chip, which makes the Galaxy Tab 3 (10.1) the first Android tablet from Samsung to feature an Intel processor.
Update: Yup, it’s an Intel Atom Z2560 Clover Trail+ processor.
The 1.6GHz Clover Trail+ Z2560 is the only dual core ATOM SoC they could be using!
