Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 now official

With the Galaxy Note line stealing the limelight from Samsung’s own tablet line, we were quite unsure of what happened with the Galaxy Tabs. Looks like Samsung still has plans for it as they have officially unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.

The Galaxy Tab 3 will be launching in a 7-inch form factor just like the very first Galaxy Tab. Samsung only announced one iteration of the Galaxy Tab 3 (no 10.1, 7.7 or 8.9 versions), but since we have no assurances that they won’t launch more, we won’t close on the possibility that there might be various iterations of it in the future.

The Tab 3 will feature a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 8/16GB of internal memory (expandable via microSD), a set of cameras and Android 4.1 Jellybean. The WiFi-only version will launch in May, while the 3G variant will come in June.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 specs:
7-inch WSVGA (1024×600, 169ppi) TFT display
1.2GHz dual-core CPU
1GB RAM
8/16GB storage
micro SD up to 64GB
3MP rear camera
1.3MP front-facing camera
3G HSPA?21 / 5.76
WiFi a/b/g/n, WiFi Channel Bonding, WiFi Direct
A-GPS + GLONASS
Li-ion 4,000mAh battery
Android 4.1 Jellybean
188 x 111.1 x 9.9 mm
306g

Seeing that it runs on a minimum of 8GB memory, a 600 x 1024 display and a 3MP camera that is lower than the 5MP ones on the Note-tablet line, we can probably expect it to be priced affordably like the previous generation of Galaxy Tabs. Will you bite if this comes near the Php15k mark? Share your thoughts below.

Alleged Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 leaks

It’s a long time since we heard from Samsung’s original Galaxy Tab line as it was overshadowed by their Note devices, and here we are with what seems to be images of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.

While the first Galaxy Tab was overly talked about because of the court battles it went through, the 2nd generation went on a lower profile. We never expected to hear of a 3rd generation of the line – until recently when SamMobile indicated that there could be more than just the 8-inch Galaxy Note in MWC.

According to the report, there are two variants of the Tab 3 line, the 7-inch and the 10.1-inch model which will be coming in 3G & WiFi only models, firstly to come in white for the first half of 2013. The report also includes a rumor of a high-end model, though it’s still unclear as of the moment.

Other than the indicated 5 megapixel camera, there isn’t much anything reported. All we have is the alleged leaked photos of the Galaxy Tab 3. There are two things to note here: first, the box has stock Android all over it and second, there’s no Samsung branding on the tablet itself.

For a reason, the photos could be faked, but then again, maybe the 3rd-gen Galaxy Tabs do exist; we’re just going to have to wait for MWC to find out.
