LOL. you too mate..
I really didn't want to read this 5 days after I've bought the TAB.
Luckily there's no release date in the article
the resolution is the same like current tab. the initial news was wrong.
Hi.I'm from Brasil
Samsung is promising the Galaxy Tab for our market this month. Many news site from here are saying that Brazilian version will have 3 big differences:
- wsvga amoled display
- analogic and digital tv
- and a 1.2 Ghz processor
I'll let you know when It's official...

Only AMELOD no other Resolution
There was a update for the press realease:
Update: Samsung's official note on the matter lists a WSVGA resolution (i.e. 1024 x 600 as on the current Tab) and some amateur geometry applied to the image does indeed show the prototype screen above has a smaller ratio than the requisite 2:1 for a 1200 x 600 pixel display.
=> There is no date when this version will be available.
As I pointed out in the other thread on this matter, Samsung sell more than just consumer devices.
They manufacturer components such as display panels and sell them to other companies (the AMOLED panels HTC used to use in the Desire/Droid Incredible being one such example) as well and they have to have some way of showing off new products to potential customers.
That's all this is, Samsung showing off their new 7" S-AMOLED panel.
This is not a new Tab, that's just conjecture on the part of tech 'journalists'.
I almost posted about this earlier this week... if you look on the alibaba site for Galaxy Tabs, almost all of them (mostly from Asia) are listed with super amoled screens... and some of the ebay Tabs are also described as having amoled screens... so either all of these people have it wrong, or Samsung have released some tabs with amoleds...
I'm thinking the latter.

Or not.
Samsung only announced they'd been able to produce 7" S-AMOLED panels a week ago.
The trade-show linked to in the OP was Samsung debuting this new larger S-AMOLED panel.
There's no way they've been building them into Tabs and selling them whilst claiming they're only using LCD panels.
The listings on sites that claim S-AMOLED are wrong, they're either incorrectly based on the original rumoured specs or they're out-right lying.

Not going to comment on the AMOLED display and 1.2 GHz processor, but I presume when you say analog and digital TV, you mean TV out and not TV tuners?
FYI, the "standard" Tab supports analog TV out via a composite cable, and digital out via HDMI on the multimedia dock.

I meant tv turner... and s-amoled has been pretty talked about around here. The most uncertain seems to be the 1.2 Ghz. Some sites say 1 and others say 1.2 Ghz. Will see... they are promising 18th November the beginning of sales in Brasil
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Well, seems like the rumors were wrong...
Today a well known site finally put its hands in a Brazilian version of the Galaxy Tab that will be on sale next week.
There is no super amoled after all!
And seems that there is no 1.2Ghz processor too.
What they confirmed and tested is the digital and analog tv turner and it seems to work pretty well.
The Brazilian Galaxy will have a Bluetooth headset in the box too.
Can't wait till next week to buy mine!

Well I don't now yet. Waiting for a in depht review from the same site. As soon as get that information I'll let you know.
The resolution is a misprint done by one source and seems like everyone adopted it.
Its actually 1024 x 600, the same as the Galaxy Tab's resolution.
However, dont expect the Super AMOLED to come out any time soon as Samsung has to complete their newest factory (line #2). It wont be finished until 1st quarter next year.

Most interesting is the GT-I9250 with super amoled HD display with launch date of week 48 (Nov end). This is rumoured to be the Nexus prime, can't wait for ice cream sandwich with HD display
might get the prime but 4.65 inch screen is too much!!

Depends on whether the traditional buttons are indeed moved to the screen. If so then the larger screen can fit in a smaller device.

I agree. It'll be the same size as SGS2, just with extra screen space on the bottom for the on screen keys and such.

this seems like its a S2 over clocked wonder if we are able to swap the screen into our S2's once parts are available
Keep in mind that there's a VERY real chance that the 720p S-AMOLED will be a return to pentile matrix. And I like buttons on a phone, so I don't think I'm going to have a lot of Nexus envy.

The pentile used on the first Galaxy S was acceptable, I honestly was not blown away by the 50% more pixels with the SAMOLED+ , If it does actually improve the image quality compared from the S1 then Im all in!
from that list
GT-I9210 (W48) Android 2.3.3, 4.5-inch 480×800 Super AMOLED display, supports 4G networks, 16 GB of memory, 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and front facing 2MP, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n and 1750 mAh battery.

this seems like yet another variant of the Galaxy S2, with faster clocked CPU... probably the "Captivate" equivalent version?

That was my first thought too BUT I will be PISSED if it doesn't come to ATT on Aug. 29th or close to it as Samsung already promised for US versions in August. I TRUELY HOPE the rumors are correct and SINCE the att version should be released before any of the dates shown is just all the phones that will be coming in the future that aren't ALREADY PLANNED for release. Damn I hope I am not getting my hopes up too high for Aug. 29th. That is the day I am elegible for upgrade also...

I wasn't blown away either by the screen on the Galaxy S II coming from my Captivate, until the other day. I switched to the Captivate to take it on a bike ride, just in case something happened, I would rather that phone break and I noticed a huge difference in screen clarity and quality. So from Galaxy S to the Galaxy S II, the difference does not seem like much. However, when you go the other way, you will see what you are missing.

with a 5MP camera, it wont be anything cool
according to the leaked information from another site
also the screen is almost 5"
way too big for the pocket, it fits more into a small tablet category than a phone

If there are no buttons but a single edge to edge screen with a gesture area then it can be the same size as the SGS 2. I doubt it will have a 5MP camera.

Just consider two things :
1, do you really need A pen?
2, do you really need a super big phone screen?
If you answer is no then buy Galaxy Nexus.

Thinking, software vs. hardware? Hardware on Note is 5x better, but Galaxy Nexus has new and best software 3 months earlier than galaxy Note. I'll choose Note, because i don't have rush to get the Icecream Sandwich. Just my opinion...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Consider also three other things :
- Do you need large storage (Nexus deos not have a microSD card)
- Do you need radio FM (Nexus does not have it)
- Do you need ICS (Note does not have it ... yet)
Well, I don't need a pen but I think I would have used it (seems like a good idea)
and big screen is nice, since I always carring my phone in the belt..
- I have also not used up my 16 GB SD card on my Nexus One, so I probably won't need more than 16GB but nice to have the opportunity..
- No need for FM radio..
- This point is where I am not sure.. ICS really looks nice and not having to wait for Samsung to get new releases is also be positive..
Damn theses decisions.....
BTJ
Get the Note for everyone who has moved to a larger screen says they would never go back to a smaller one. The stylus and the SD slot significantly increases the power of the Note and Gingerbread is very capable whilst waiting for ICS which will surely come.
It's a question of hardware versus software
Nexus is a Galaxy S 2 with software improvements and slightly different hardware. Design and look has been updated. Larger screen size is because there are no longer buttons on the bottom. These buttons are now in the OS. So you still have about the same size screen maybe slightly more because the width is slightly larger. Nexus does not have 3G data bands. It does have HSPU and LTE as well as 2G data and 3G voice. The processor and graphics hardware is different. Possibly better than Galaxy S 2. It is still 1.2 ghz dual core. It has Android 4.0, the latest and greatest software, with a host of new features. Nexus has Lotus glass and a higher resolution screen than GS2 as well as NFC.
The Note has a significantly larger 5.3" screen, 1.4 ghz dual core processor, and stylus. It has 3G data & voice as well as HSPU. You will probably be able to get Android 4.0 and almost all its features through a custom rom within a month or two after launch.
The rule is buy for hardware. You will be able to put Android 4.0 on the Galaxy S 2 shortly. I already own a Galaxy S 2 and the hardware is very similar so I would not be getting a whole more with the Nexus. If you do not have the GS2, the Nexus would be a good upgrade for you. With the Note I do have better hardware than GS2, so I'm buying that. One other consideration is size. The Note is big. Really big.
Amen. I didn't regret my purchase for a single second.
And I don't mind to wait another two or three months for ICS so the first bugs are already ironed out.

Hmmm... Maybe I should "settle" for the Note then... And I guess NFC it still years to go before in active use....

re
I need Galaxy Note. But I need the NFC feature. I can't understand what does the "Optional" mean in some Spec.

LOL! You're just plain mean
I'm watching the video of the Note release and right in the beginning they also mention the Nexus, and the fact that the Nexus is being released with Ice Cream Sandwich at launch - why isn't the Note also being released on that platform? Makes me curious as to whether or not ICS will never come to the Note - I've already been involved in an innovative platform that never evolved (Garmin iQue 3600), I'm going to be very disappointed if the Note goes the same way....
I've been debating between these 2 and I think it's a no brainer.
If the size of the note isn't an issue for you then it's the note, it's a bigger and high res screen and has far more grunt CPU and GPU.
I haven't yet seen proof that the nexus can display 720p video on full screen (on honeycomb the buttons could not be hidden apart from with a root app).
The only thing the nexus has over it is ICS and I would be amazed if the note didnt get that this year.
"Most importantly, though, the brains of the operation is the OMAP4460 application processor which has two Cortex-A9 cores clocked at 1.2GHz — quite fast, certainly, but it isn’t the 1.5GHz Exynos that we were hoping for.
It is because of the OMAP4460 processor that the Galaxy Nexus will only have the PowerVR SGX540 GPU, an antiquated beast from 2007 that can actually be found underneath the hood of last year’s Nexus S, and in the Droid Bionic. The SGX540 is very weak compared to the Mali-400 GPU found in Samsung’s Exynos SoC (the one that powers the Galaxy S II), and it’s positively snail-paced against the Apple A5′s SGX543MP2."
Frankly, I'm not even tempted by the Nexus or the SGS II compared to the Note, I'm just really curious why they didn't use ICS for two phones being rolled out at the same time.

No, I know the Note is first, but if you watch that video, the European release of the Nexus was happening at the same time - so they're very close in release date.
funny that they say rollout is 29th and today (28th) many people already got their note

it looks cool ;-P
I like how it has 2 different cameras depending on which pic you're looking at.
Just can't wait to see Galaxy S VIII
I'm all for new stuff but am i the only one who'd like to see a 4'' screen version packed with all the latest features? We seem to be getting several solutions for huge screens but nothing for people who felt 4'' was just perfect. Granted, they're thin and not so cumbersome as inicially expected but there's a limit to how much you can compensate a big screen with lack of thickness
If a 4'' updated sgs (2/4 core with 2gb ram and voodoo like sound and actual working gps) came out I'd get it over any other phone with bigger screen. Am i alone?

I think the reason for gaining larger and larger screens is the manufacturer's obsession on pushing higher screen resolution but unable to make the pixels denser
