Any one knows when 3G version might show up in Europe (with Samsung SoC inside! )?
I guess Samsung will know, but it has not been announced by them yet.
We will just have to wait and see.
Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
I guess we should know more one 10.1v is on sale with Vodafone. I suppose Samsung wants to give them some breathing space. If they would give exact dates now (+ SoC name) they would undercut sales of 10.1v as I believe not many people would buy it knowing what is behind the corner (and how far to this corner there is) :-(.
Come on Samsung... Vodafone is doomed for failure with your 1st GT 10.1 as is Moto with Xoom. Stop wasting time and get me slim GT 10.1 - as I am on the verge of loosing control.... iPad 2 is here.... I could buy it.... I need to be strong (do I?)
I think Samsung is now trying to dispose all those thick 10.1v from their inventory. Before they start selling the new ones.
For sure there are plenty of buyers if they price it right, unfortunately it is not.
The thing that I hate the most ... Google IO is just on the corner, next early May. What will it bring? For sure it would be the better Honeycomb, I hope.
Because to be honest, I don't want to use current version of Honeycomb. Too much crash / FC (see Xoom forums).
I would rather to wait ...
As for waiting, I just bought iPad2 ... for my wife. When I got my Android tablet, we both have one each, no need to share!

As for the 10.1 versions, the confusion is caused by Samsung. The 10.1 v was announced at the CES, before the launch of the iPad 2. It was/is a tablet with almost the same dimensions as the Xoom (only a bit lighter, although very noticeable) .
The 10.1 was introduced at the Mobile Congress in Barcelona after the introduction of the iPad 2, and it was Samsungs answer to it. It was basically the predecessor (which wasn't launched by then) with the only difference that it was a lot smaller.
Somehow Samsung made the confusing decision to launch the unit the introduced at the CES, although they developed a successor before the introduction of it. Why? Maybe they had the production ready for the first version, don't know, but yes, very weird. Nevertheless as far as I know the 10.1v is exclusively sold by Vodafone and were released the previous week. The 10.1 will be released in June in the USA according to some blogs.
For the exact differences between 10.1 and the current 10.1v see post by k-dog
(As far as I know, the preproduction unit introduced at the CES also had a microsd slot etc. .. the way I see it, Samsung made a clever deal with Vodafone to dump their first units with little additional costs. But that is of course just an interpretation ...)

Samsung has us all confused with changing the 10.1.
My understanding is that Galaxy Tab 10.1 was first announced at Mobile Congress in Barcelona.
The new thin iPad 2 announced shortly after in March.
Samsung announced the "thin" Galaxy tab 10.1 March 24th at CTIA in Orlando along with the 8.9 version. Samsung wanted their tablet to be the thinnest. The original Galaxy Tab 10.1 became the 10.1v.
Release date for the USA for the 10.1 wifi only model is June 8th.
Here's the Samsung CTIA keynote address.

It would appear the 10.1v has dual wifi antenna also - I have one in front of me right now and it has the option of connecting to my 2.4ghz wifi router and my 5ghz 802.11n AP.
You are right. Samsungs site for the 10.1v does say it has dual antennas
Maybe the 8.9 also has it then.
cameras?
So I'm guessing the new 10.1 is better than 10.1v?
What's the difference in camera?
And what tablet would you guys recommend me to get?
Thanks
The 10.1 is "better" from the little we know now.
the camera on the 10.1 is a 3mp that can record in 1080p
But the 10.1v has the same 8mp as the galaxy s 2.
the camera is the only thing the 10.1v has over the 10.1
10.1 has micro SD card slot.

OH ****. Yup. The 8.9 has one, according to http://originus.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19833&gltype
I'm a little confused about why the 8.9 has one and the 10.1 doesn't.
10.1 does have MicroSD
Same with the 8.9
but the 10.1v does not
which is released
so the thicker one 10.1v is released?
and the slimmer tab is not yet released?
Yes
the 10.1v (thicker) is out in select markets
the 10.1 (slim) will be out in about a months time
There is one more unknown but potentially quite big difference between 10.1v and 10.1 - heart of the tablet.
While 10.1v runs with Tegra 2 inside (so if you want to watch movies on your new device it might prove difficult) the coming one 10.1 is described by Samsung as with " dual core 1Ghz processor inside".
We all here think (and some of us hope) that this "secrecy" means it will run with Exynos (Samsung's own design) inside. If so it would mean this would be more versatile device than Tegra 2 tablets and iPad 2 - true king of tabs.
Please be exynos please be exynos please be exynos

I can get the 10.1v today. Should I wait for the slimmer version? I live in Europe. Will the 10.1 also have an mini hdmi out or the same port as the SGSII?
Edit: Nevermind I just read all the issues with the 10.1v. Tbh I will wait for the slim version. Ports, SD slot and better screen are more important than a good camera.

That is exactly what I am doing and also why (if slim GT is not Exynos based) why it dose not make any sense to Samsung to hide this information if it is only Tegra CPU. Beside sd support some ppl. might have buy 10.1v if they knew 10.1 is not that much different.
Do I read things correctly that 10.1v is actually more expensive that 10.1?
So I'm interested in getting an unlocked Galaxy Tab 10.1 w\ GSM support, so I went out on the intertubes and searched it. I'm seeing there's a 10.1 and a 10.1v that have "GSM support" which I'd assume are quad band and will work with GSM frequencies around the world?
I'm curious if anyone knows where online or offline these can be purchased. I read that people had bought them from Vodafone UK, but going to their site it shows they're not even released yet.
Thanks!
3G (GSM) version of Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not yet released. It will be released in Europe in the beginning of July. Can be purchased then from Amazon.de or notebooksbilliger.de for around 600 EUR (3G, 16 GB version, no microSD slot)

Does Amazon.de deliver to the US?
What's the diff between the 10.1v and the 10.1? I remember reading that one was the thinner model, but can't remember which was which.
Thanks!
Not sure about Amazon.de delivering to US, but most probably they dont.
Because Amazon.com does not deliver to Europe either
The new one is 10.1.
The 10.1v is the old one (thicker), so don't buy this 10.1v.

Elaborate...
Um, 10.1V Had around an hour more battery. 3MP Camera compared to 8MP is nothing to 'lol' about either.
EDIT* The only thing better about the 10.1 is that's it lighter and thinner.
10.1v is the old model, why do you want to buy older model?
10.1v is still not officially updated to Android 3.1, and we don't know when it will get the update?
10.1v is thicker, this is personal and I like the look of the new 10.1
10.1v has 6800 mAH battery, the new one has 7000 mAH
10.1 has cool flip cover:
http://www.androidcentral.com/flip-case-samsung-galaxy-tab-101
Sure, the 10.1v has better rear camera (8MP vs 3MP), but I don't need that camera as I have my Android phone
So, those are some of my reasoning that enough for me to make decision to not buy the old 10.1v!

Or you can quote specs like they mean anything @ all as far as the battery. Is it really hard to go to Google and see 10.1V has better battery?
VERY good Camera
OR the fact that you can actually use 3G on the 10.1V?
I quoted the mAH number, that's all. Usage pattern might be different for each person, 10 hours yours might be 11 hours OR 9 hours mine
It depends on how do you use your tab, the apps/widgets that you have and the OS version (3.1 vs 3.01).
But, the mAH rate is something you can "compare".
This is the 10.1:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
And this is the 10.1v:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1v/specification.html
See that? 7000 mAH versus 6860 mAH.
And that's from the official Samsung website.
About 3G, both will have 3G model In Europe, the 10.1 3G will be released first, Amazon.de will have it end of this month.
Or are you saying the 10.1 will not have 3G model?
About the camera, the rear camera, I don't care
As I don't use rear camera on tablet anyway. I will look like an idiot making photo using that big device hehehehe. I use my phone for making photo!
Oh and I really like that cool flip cover of 10.1 !!!! LOL

Can't be mad with your nicely toned reply. But, what I am stating is the 10.1V is in all aspects= the 10.1 and having a 8MegaPixel Cam(Although im not a photo freak) and the ability right now to use a Sim card makes it superior. 3G 10.1 coming next month is not for U.S.....
10.1=10.1V I only am defending the 10.1V because the person told the guy not to buy it like it was a worse product...
Well, I am just stating facts and my opinion regarding both. I think that's clear from what you read here.
As it is my opinion, I think I am free to say that, telling anyone to not buy the older model.
I assume the OP can decide him or her self, whether to buy or not
I am not enforcing or anything. This is an open forum and I give my opinions with all my reasoning.

Odds are also, the GSM version being released in EU will not work on the US 3G bands, rather just the regular GPRS or Edge bands (except for Tmobile in some areas). ATT uses the 850 band, which is not used in EU.

Oh, I didn't say to buy one!
Just letting those that talked about US releases know that it's near.
Wifi and unlimited 4G phone tether with Sprint works fine for me...
The European 3G version will be quad band, so it will support both EU and US frequencies.
This is the specs from amazon.de.
Some speculation: The US version will use the same chip, doing otherwise would complicate things and that wouldn't make much sense. The FCC only mention the US frequencies because those are the only ones used over there.
I'm planning on getting the AT&T version, and bring it back to Europe in August.
hey guys my wife dropped my tab and cracked the screen and now she wants to buy me a new one

As for where the screen repair can be done I have no idea...maybe you could try it yourself with a little help if you can locate and buy a replacement screen!?
Maybe a bit too big for you but I've played with the GT 8.9 and it is SWEET.

I'd love to get the Galaxy Tab 7.7 personally, the AMOLED screen looks great and it's still portable enough.
Price is very high though.
As for the screen, I'd buy a replacement from Ebay and fix it myself, if that is too scary, you could try a phone repair shop or something.

Agreed.
I Googled it for a laugh and saw prices of over £550
...too rich for me at the moment
I'd recommend the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. It doesn't have the AMOLED screen of the 7.7, but it's wifi, off contract, has a microSD slot, and for $400 is a good price. I currently purchased the 7.0 plus to take the place of my aging OG Galaxy Tab and I'm extremely happy. It's like my 10.1, but smaller!
Hi,
I'm actually searching a new tab too.
I have seen the Acer iconia tab A100.
But I fear that the battery will drain too fast ...
In addition I think that the screen of the A100 is worst than the galaxy tab.
I have seen the galaxy tab 8.9 but it's not the same budget ...
I would also prefer the galaxy tab 7.7 for me it would be the perfect size. But its not available in germany and toooo expensive. Otherwise it would allready be mine

Wondering what those four new Samsung tablets that we’ve been talking about a lot lately are? Well, thanks to our insider, we now have the name and screen size for each of those tablets – there’s the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320/T325), Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520/T525), Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900/P905), and the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110/T111). All of these will come in Wi-Fi and LTE models (with the exception of the Tab 3 Lite, which will only have 3G connectivity as befits its low price of around 100 Euros.)
The Galaxy Tab 3 Lite will be the first to launch sometime in week two in Cream White color with a 7-inch screen; it will be followed by the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 sometime in week six, while the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 will arrive just a week later. All three Pro tablets will be available in black and white colors; the Tab Pro 8.4 and 10.1 will come with 16GB of storage while the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 will have 32GB storage out of the box.
As always, the launch time frames may vary a bit, though all four will be out before March is over. We already have some details on the specs of the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite and the Galaxy Note 12.2 Pro, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for info that might crop up about the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and 10.1.
Update: Here’s a live picture of the back of the Note Pro, courtesy of cdpkorea.com

I think that every tablet Samsung has made came in a variant with phone calling capability. The US carriers just won't allow them to bring it here. So my guess is that won't change (on either front) with the new tablets. But, speaking as someone who uses an N5100 as my primary phone, I think an 8.4 tablet would exceed the limits of portability as a daily driver.

That crap needs to stop. Its days away from 2014, 32GB should be the entry level storage option now.
agreed. I just cannot for the life of me understand why they won't just give us that little bit extra storage it would make all the difference. Not like it would cost them that much more.
I haven't seen a mention of note 8.4 pro anywhere, where are you getting you facts from?
there's the "Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4" (which ain't the note line)
and
Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (which definitely ain't 8.4 incher )

I was going to ask the exact same thing, luckily I read all the replies first
i hope they upgrade the int sd to 32gb like in note 3. but.... 8.4 inch... kind of big... it wont be comfortable to hold anymore... unless you got a gigantic hand...
Unless they keep the device the same size like they've been doing with their phones. I guess we'll see soon enough. I'm guessing we won't see a new Note until the summer

SM-T320NZKEXAR is a black 32GB variant or SM-T320NZWEXAR for white. I would watch out for these two become in stock.

The note 8 was supposed to have a 32gb version too but it never came out. Also with 5 game on my note 8 and a few other small apps I have no more room. Yes I have a 64gb card in it. Problem is the app to sd only puts a very small amount of the app on the sd card. So it doesn't clear much in the internal space.
The 16 gig 8.4 is available today at bestbuy. $399
Stunned at the price in the UK for the wifi only version of the 8.4. £349. SERIOUSLY?
$399 would equate to around £250 in the UK and if the US was paying what £349 is, it would be more like $570 for you guys.
I'm a major Samsung supporter and major Samsung fan. I've had a couple of Samsung Tabs in the past, and at present have the Galaxy Tab 7.7. This has a Super AMOLED plus screen which has been exceptional and unsurpassed on a sub 9" device since it was released. (OK so only just beaten by the recent Nexus 7 v2.0).
So my Tab 7.7 has held up very well. And while I paid £349 for it back when I got it 2 years ago, I am seriously disappointed to see the new Tab Pro 8.4 come in @ £349. There's a lot more competition out there now and it should have been priced as such. I would maybe have stretched too £299 for it as a fanboi, and had hoped for it might be as low as £249. (i.e. US Price)
But seriously Samsung? £349 in the UK?
Sorry Samsung, but you just lost a sale. Don't expect stellar sales at that price.
Meantime I'l keep my 7.7.

Is that inclusive of the VAT? That 20% VAT is crazy.
Think the idea is to compete with the iPad mini 2. If the prices arent similar at launch, they'll probably come down soon to the ipad levels.
The people in the US get some nice freebies too. Hulu subscription, $25 playstore credit and a few other things.
At least you have the wifi option. In India, they try and push the wifi+3g model that bumps the price up another $100 or so.
I have a nexus 7 2013 16 GB model and all I do is download movies which I delete after watching it serves me well but if I do get the galaxy pro 8.4 they would need to release the lte model I will get a 64 GB sdcard problem solved

The 7.7 is a great tablet, in some ways (display, metal build) superior to the Note 8. And the folks that have them tend to keep them, thus the high prices for used ones. I'd still have mine if I hadn't broke it. Samsung got it wrong, the Note 8 should have been a Galaxy Tab 7.7 with a stylus.
