New Tablets from Samsung!
After releasing several smartphones Samsung is now shifting their attention to their Tablet product line. The last tablet launched was the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and at that time rumors were already going around that Samsung would announce bigger models. A few days ago they finally took the wraps off two new tablets: the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. What’s so special about both these devices is that they were being powered by Intel’s Atom processor! Coolness. Lets take a closer look at both Tabs.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 has an 8-inch WXGA TFT display, a 1.5GHz dual core processor, 1.5GB RAM, 5 megapixel rear camera, supports LTE and its running Android 4.2 Jellybean. Based on the picture, the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 looks like its cousin, the Galaxy Note 8.0 but with few differences. The Galaxy Note had a quad core Exynos processor, a thicker bezel, and the S Pen.
