Who else is slightly disappointed no new Samsung Tegra3 tablet was announced?

I was hoping that Samsung would at least announce their next 10.1" tablet at CES. That would've given me a reason to not keep the Prime, or wait for the Prime HD.

Just because they didn't announce it doesn't mean they're not working on it.
Secondly all these Crapple lawsuits may have Sammy keeping their lips sealed tight for the time being on what can and can't they release.
W/ that said the new Tegra 3 Asus 7" for $240 USD looks damn nice.

I have no doubt they're probably working on their next 10.1 tablet, but still, some word would've been nice.
And yes, I'm definitely getting two of the Memos. One for traveling and one for my sis. I think this Tegra3 tablet stole the Asus show (assuming it will be out soon and prices won't change).

Samsung went gangbusters this past 1/4. They have a lot going on with Android and it is only getting better. Why do you think they hire people like cyanogen?

True... S2, Gnex, Note, GT7.7, 8.9 (Did 7.0+ come out this quarter also?)
They've been busy for sure. I agree with the OP it would have been nice to see somthing, but I have no doubt Sammy has a few tricks up their sleeve. Wonder which Samsung tab will get ICS first?
Hopefully the 7.0+ or 10.1. But with that said I think the 8.9 needs it most. Honeycomb runs worst on it from what I've seen.
It will also be interesting to see the Ipad junior as I have no doubt Apple will be pushing their 8" line soon. 8" tabs just seem to be perfect for me.

The truth is, Samsung released a lot of new stuff this quarter, and their showing at CES was impressive. The thing is, it focused mainly on other applications, (TVs, Washers, Dryers, and services.) Samsung has been making massive waves with its other devices, but they never want to scuttle sales of the ones currently on the market. Samsung is undoubtedly working on a Tegra 3 tablet, but they're probably going to wait on releasing it for a few reasons;
1. Releases at CES often tend to get buried in the insanity of it all. It's a trade show, so everyone is showing off their latest and greatest, and it's hard to grab everyone's attention and hold on to it. This is necessary to create anticipation for a device. You only need to look at Samsung's releases of the Nexus S, Galaxy Tabs, and the Galaxy Nexus to realize that they always manage to generate excitement by making sure their device is released at a time when people can pay attention.
2. Samsung doesn't always make it to the market first, but when they do arrive, they tend to dominate. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 wasn't the first Tegra 2 device or the first Honeycomb tablet, in fact it was the 4th to the market. This delay allowed them to avoid some of the quality issues that plagued the other tablets. It also allowed them to release a tablet that managed to become the acknowledged benchmark for Android tablets. I'm sure the Tegra 3 variant of the Tabs will be just as showstopping.
3. It has only been 6 months since the release of the 10.1 If they were to unveil a tablet now, it would destroy the sales of the current line of devices, even though the release of the production model of the Samsung Tegra 3 device would possibly be a few months away.
4. Samsung, being a device manufacturer, may be working on shoehorning more impressive technologies into their next-gen Galaxy Tab. If the 7.7 is any indication of their direction, we may be seeing a 10.1 with one of their awesome new Super OLED screens that they have been using in their new TVs.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, be patient, (as hard as it may be for all of us.) Samsung rarely disappoints when it comes to product releases, and I'm sure their "favorite child" Galaxy Tab series will be getting something amazing in the coming months.

They probably didin't announce at ICS for two reasons:
1) To avoid getting lost in all the clutter.
2) They have the resources to hold their own mega-event. I'm guessing they'll wait until right before or right after the iPad3 launch event.
All the tablet announcements at CES were pretty lame. Especially compared to the leaked specs of the 11.6. Based on that, Samsung's next-gen tab is the only legitimate competitor to the iPad3. The question for me isn't when it's going to be announced, but when it's going to be released. Hopefully they’re following Apple’s playbook and will have it available shortly after it’s announced.

I'm assuming they're waiting to unveil their tabs/phones at MWC (2/27) since that's dedicated to mobile. Can't wait to see what they've got.

It is a big disappointment that they did not announce something they have ALREADY announced?
Confused.

Like they have announced elsewhere on tiny twitter or something. People like me don't follow micro blogging so no way on earth would I have known. A vague announcement of sometime in the first half... yeah that's a lot info to mark on my calendar.

Id actually prefer if they didn't release any new tablets for awhile because then they'll support us longer. When samsung releases the next galaxy tab line, our support will probably be over kind of like the galaxy tab (original) was when this came out or galaxy s when the s II came out.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I hope they release their next tablet with their own processor... I'm over anything Tegra based.

I personally think samsung havent made any announcement regarding any tegra 3 replacement of SGT is because they probably wanted to use their own Exynos chipset. And I hope to god that this is the case. Coming out with a Tegra 3 device will just make Samsung unable to differentiate from their other competitor. As well as they get to push their own technology rather then depend on Nvidia

I'm betting they will show it MWC. It is rumored to have an Exynos. Forgot where i read it but at this point its just speculation.

My only disappointment comes from XDA being used as a sounding board for whining. How pointless.

Looking forward to a Tegra 3 ICS Samsung tablet.
Will be selling my iPad 1 soon in anticipation. I have been suitably impressed by a recent Nexus S purchase (first Samsung phone) and really want to go Sammy/Android for my next tablet.
Cheers.

It won't be Teg3. Since 3.2 was released with support for non-Teg processors, Samsung hasn't used one. The 8.9 LTE is Qualcomm and the 7+ is Exynos.
Here's an online article from Know your Mobile...
The 11.6-inch Galaxy Tab, according to reports, will launch on Android 4.0 and feature a truly staggering 2560x1600 resolution display, which well and truly kicks Apple’s Retina Display out of the park. Other notable spec, according to BGR, is the device’s ultra-powerful dual-core Exynos 5250 CPU that is reportedly clocked at 2GHz.
We’ve also heard talk of Android Beam – Google’s version of Apple’s AirPlay – coming as standard, as well as a novel wireless docking mode for gaming on HD TV sets. All in all this sounds like one impressive slate – we look forward to seeing it (either at CES 2012 next week or at MWC 2012 in February).

11.6 inch.....drool!

The current line was introduced between CES and MWC 2011. So if there's going to be a new line then expect it to be at or around the MWC date.

Do you really think Samsung will announce the next version of the Note @ MWC?

Seems a bit soon to me, but in absence of the SGS3 announcement at MWC I keep seeing rumours about the appearance of something called the Note S, which apparently is an upgraded model of the Note. I cannot see the logic of this, I mean what is there other than maybe a bigger battery that requires an upgrade to be produced so soon?

No way will they announce an upgraded Note at MWC. The gs3 is far ahead of any note upgrade.

Well I agree. But I wonder why there seem to be so many of these rumours about it. Only the other week I saw one along the lines that it would be Samsung's big announcement now at MWC.

Samsung has become a very rich and greedy. His only care about earnings and soulless marketing.

I think at mwc, Samsung will not reveal any high end phones. apparently there is no Samsung keynote this year? At best they might announce a new tablet.

Samsung plays MWC low-key: No press conference planned
"Samsung has confirmed that not only will the company’s much-anticipated Galaxy S III not be making its debut at Mobile World Congress this month, but that the Korean firm has no press conference planned at the Barcelona show whatsoever. Despite high-profile and expensive launches in previous years, Samsung is playing the 2012 show low-key it confirmed to PCMag, though new products are expected to be revealed."

Pink note and vibrate can't be turned off. And styles is now a spent holder and has a build in vibrator for your "calls". S pen is pink too and on the button is a big ;-) so you can configured vibration to slow and fast.

With a version just now coming to the USA and Canada... announcing a 2nd Generation would seem to hurt those sales.
Besides, the international model is still very new.
One thing is for sure; I'm a Note user for life. I look fwd to Generation 2.

Hi all, newbie here.
Thread resurrection.
Any new info on next version of Galaxy Note or Galaxy S3?
I have an iphone4 and am tired of the small screen.
I'm considering the Note, Galaxy S3 and Lumia 900.
I have tons of apps for my iphone, but use them mostly on my ipad3.
The Lumia 900 is available, cheap and seems to be a very good phone.
I'm in awe of Note screen but don't want to get it if the new one will be available in 6 months.
I'm intrigued by android as I've always been a geek and like screwing around with things.

New phone, new phone..... I love that feeling. Saying that, I still get it often with this beast.
I doubt they'll announce a note successor until the fall. I reckon this announcement will be the s3, which will probably be similar to GNexus but quad core, and no doubt trounce the htc one x.... Too soon? Sorry.
If you're interested in win phone, I'm using launcher 7 which imitates it perfectly and adds features too, so if you want limited hardware, go for it, but android keeps your options open. And the tech in you will no doubt be dissapointed with win phone.
Also worth consideration, they're working on a full ubuntu server that runs when docked... On Android of course, so things really are heading towards laptop replacement. It's exciting. The note is awesome! I reckon the s3 will be tasty too, but I can't move away from this screen

even if they release new Note , honestly I am not gonna upgrade unless.
1. MUCH better display, like no more pentile and no more color banding
2. MUCH more battery efficient display and processor
3. better volume rocker/power button placement
4. no more hardware buttons
5. smaller or even none screen bezel
to me, Note is pretty much perfect (in ICS), if they only release a new note with faster or quad processor. Honestly I will not be interested. (which many manufacture intend to do as an "upgrade".

Galaxy Tab 2????

REALLY??!!! SERIOUSLY????!!! How many tablets does Sammy think they need to through out at the public to get that they aren't going to sell until they lower prices, not specs! End rant.

Lower prices? The 10.1 is $50 cheaper than the iPad and the 8.9 is $100 cheaper...
I think they are currently priced just about right...

Wish they lowered the prices on the older tabs significantly.
Means we can root em and flash our own builds for a reasonable price

they are just making fools of the peoples who took tabs recently ....i got my first tab SGT p1000 first then few months later this 10.1 came up i took that traded for my p1000 now this 7.7 got infrared and can do calls too..god they gonna make me trade my 10.1 too

i agree, i think this is the only problem with android, we are being flooded with devices at them moment, hopefully it will slow down and we can see some more quality devices come out... pricing for samsungs tabs though are great i think, leave the lower market to other companies, I want a powerful device in my hands.

Yeah but they just need to take a break for a moment

Hold up though... The Galaxy Tab 2 is 7.7", dual core, 1ghz ram etc etc... right?
I bought mine a few weeks ago and did so because I read the new Galaxy Tab would be 7.7". I definitely wanted the 10" form factor. I love my Tab but don't want to be a fool (not that kind anyway)! Now I'm second guessing purchase

This is exactly what I mean! Sammy has now released like 5 new tablets with same basic hardware of their old tablets.. Tegra 3 is ready and being used by Asus already! I like Samsung's hardware the best, but I'm just sick of seeing *New tablets with underwhelming, old hardware in them.. I know that price is def a factor, but manufacturing 20 different tablets is expensive.. if they had 3 form factors/models it would save money for them, and then us!

Nvidia's on record saying they've lost Samsung as a customer and now consider them a competitor. So, don't hold your breath for Teg3. Teg3 is actually two old-gen A9 chips glommed together. Samsung's Exynos 5250 is in sampling making it the first A15 chip on the market when it’s supposed to release in Q2. Raw HP isn't the real issue with mobile devices. It's GPU bandwidth. A15 chips will be more powerful than Teg3 and have 5x the graphics b/w. I think a lot of manufacturers are intentionally skipping Teg3 and moving directly to A15 chips (from Samsung, TI, and Qualcomm) which are easier to fabricate and potentially less expensive. The Prime’s having a ton of issues where different devices behave differently when updates are rolled out. It’s too early to say its Teg3 but it’s a potential candidate for the problems.

Meh, I like choice. I don't see the point of complaining about it; unless you're an early adopter, you'll always be a step behind. Here' my suggestion for you: stop worrying about having the newest snazziest gear and enjoy what you do have. It's not a race.

"Unfair" would suggest they owe you some duty of not producing new models. Have you really thought this through? "We buy a thing today, and tomorrow they come up with the improv[ed] one." If this is unfair, how long do they have to wait? Do you realize that they released this tablet in May of 2011, 9 months ago, right? You also realize that the successor does not yet exist, right? This is the same complaint I've heard about technology for the last 20 years. I still don't get it.

BUT there is ALWAYS something better around the corner. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Nuff said. I agree Samsungs SOC will be better, but will it be too late? Look at Windows Phone 7, its great, but 3-4 years too late..

My main point..
Is Samsung going to seriously produce 20 different models of tablets? I understand it being nice to have 'choices', but Samsung has enough work keeping past models firmware relevant, let alone producing 20 new version/sizes every few months, there is no way they can properly support that many.. I wouldn't think twice is they made actually changes to new models like vastly improved batteries, or more memory etc.

I've been saying for many years that if you buy an electronic device, it will be obsolete BEFORE you make it out of the front door of the store. You might make it back home if you buy the most expensive model of whatever. It's just the way of high tech devices these days. We consumers have only helped them by replacing perfectly functional devices just for the lasted and greatest one. Even if the new one has twice the speed or memory, do you need it?
Probably not. Yet we continue to demand, and purchase, which is just encouragement for them to continue. I honestly think its only gonna get worse. It's really our fault as consumers always wanting more and better; NOW.
When I was growing up electronics were durable goods. You bought a TV and you kept it until it quit working. Now we buy a new one because of widget xyz is better on the new model. I'm guilty of this myself also, just not as much as I used to be. Even though I have more money to spend these days.

That's ridiculous. If you knew me you'd know what a silly thing to say that is. But beyond that, my statement is exactly the opposite: I'm saying "be happy with what you have, not unhappy about what you don't have." See if you can figure out the difference between gadget lust and gadget envy.

OP puts Galaxy Tab 2 in the title, then complains about how many tablets are coming out from Samsung? I mean, if you put Galaxy Note 10.1 in the title, that would make some sense, but the Galaxy Tab 2 is apparently the direct successor of the original Galaxy Tab that came out in 2010 and it's not even out yet. Who knows when it comes out.

Galaxy S III has quad core.....what does that mean for 7.7?

In a couple of weeks the Galaxy S III (i9300) is going to be launched with a quad core 1.5Ghz processor.
Given how slow Samsung have been to actively market the 7.7 does this mean the tablet is going to become redundant even before it's gained any sales traction?
While I love my 7.7 I'm realistic in that it's not been a sales success (mostly due to Sammies "too many products...no focus" current marketing strategy).
Discuss

I think samsung is trying to find a niche in the mobile market. Almost anything that is 'successful' to them, they will make revisions of them.
like samsung galaxy tab p1000 -> becomes 7.0 plus
or samsung s -> s2
and the 7.7, and 5.3 note was like test for them .. but it seems note was more successful.. and that 7.7 seems to release late, maybe due to the law suite with apple?
Personally i do like to see note 2
As for the sgs3, i will only consider it if it have sdcard slot + removable battery.
quad core means little for me.

Galaxy Tab 7.7
I changed from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy Tab 7.7.
I dont know why the Galaxy Tab 7.7 should become no sale success. if you compare it to other tabs you can see that the Hardware (beside the camera module) is very good.
I am satisfied with this tablet. If there will be the ICS update i think the android sofware will work much better than Honeycomb.
If you compare it to the Galaxy Note and the upcoming Galaxy S3 you will notice that the tab ist still another formfactor with its 7.7.
After using my tab for 2 weeks i dont want to miss ist, especially for media and internet. Besides this i am using it as cellphone too to telephone.
If i think of the 4,x inch Display of my S2 or the Note display i think the tab is still the better choice.
And due to its size it is still mobile enough to take it for everyday use.
Hope the 7.7 will get the ics update soon and find some more devs here in forum...

Id also like to see a Galaxy Note 2 and a Tab 2 7.7 but the new SuperAMOLED manufacturing and a bigger battery life. Probably the next Tab 7.7 will come with a quadcore A15.

Well, I was joking. This kind of thread is rather useless so I should refrain from reading or commenting, really.

Cripes chaps it's not that difficult to follow.......
The 7.7 was announced almost 8 months ago and in many markets the 3G version is still not even available.
As Sammie themselves (and other manufacturers) are now starting to announce quad core products it'll set expectation in the marketplace that quad core is now the base level.
This discourages buyers from buying dual core products.
Fewer sales means developers less inclined to work on a product that's perceived as out of date.
We, as owners of 7.7 devices get fewer ROM options.

Nottin' really... galaxy tab 2 is coming here at Singapore last time I heard they're also putting quad core in there...

Correct me if I'm wrong ... would a quad core chip even present much of an upgrade over a dual core, considering the application? Seems like overkill to me.

Maybe you have a point there... but its a matter of adopting to the newest tech, soon most apps would be so heavy that you'd req a quadcore processor...

That's why I still haven't purchased it and sticking with my Overclocked original Tab. Hopefully Samsung will come with a 7.7 (2) that will be popular enough
But definitely at this point with little custom ROM available, no CM, and ICS not yet there it makes little sense to upgrade (I might for the battery life since my Tab after 18months starts to show signs of tiredness)
On top of it there is not even a GSM LTE version available (Actually there s in Korea but with different bands form the "usual" ones used in Europe and US)

This could be the new Note Pro 10.1 and Note Pro 8.4

Can we even know if these are Android tablets and not Windows?

The Note|Pro 12 is "SM-P905" and the Tab|Pro 12 is "SM-T905" so whatever they are those aren't Note's. Why do you guys assume those are high-end devices? The Tab|Pro 10.1 (based on European pricing) is already touching iPad Air pricing and Samsung just announced their 2014 premium tablet line. I'm assuming redone mid-range or even value devices.

I think you're right, these can't be Note devices, but there are already 8 inch Tabs. So worst case they are just mid-range Tabs, best case they are Google Play Editions.

The (non-Note) Wi-Fi Tab|Pro 8.4 is €389 while its nearest Android competitor, the LG G Pad 8.3, is €285 on Amazon DE. The iPad Mini is the exact same price at €389. The Wi-Fi Tab|Pro 10.1 is €479 while the iPad Air is also €479. So the high-end is covered and Samsung would have to be suicidal to price an Android tablet above iPad pricing even with a carbon fiber body and an AMOLED display. So with the max price point already hit it's probably safe to assume future 2014 devices will be aiming lower; in some cases significantly lower.

I thought this info already came out during CES. These are Galaxy Tabs not Notes.

Good thing we have Berry here to shoot threads like this down.

You've been in the threads where people are freaking out about the N10.1-14 being replaced by a Note|Pro 10.1 at some point. I personally think that's a lot less likely to happen now that M-UX appeared as a feature on the N10.1-14 global microsite. As Smoky Bear says, "the best fire is one you can prevent." And also "only you can prevent forest fires."
P.S. - If I was pushing for click-throughs like Phone Arena and SamMobile my spin would probably be different and laced with !!!! and inflammatory baseless opinion also.

People are freaking out because everyone here is afraid their shiny new toy might be obsolete (replaced by a better shiny new toy) after a mere 3 months

Or, what if they are the long rumored Nexus 10 replacement and recently rumored Nexus 8? The Nexus 10 had a Samsung model number (GT-P8110) so if Samsung's making the newer Nexi it would stand to reason they would too. The last tablet Samsung made with a "GT" moniker was the G-Tab 3 (GT-P5210) so the N10 fit with the then current naming convention. I wouldn't think Samsung would be interested in Google's contract Nexus business because of the lower margins but if they're looking to build up scale to drive down overall production costs (including for their own tablets and components) it could make sense.

which is dumb cause they released a bunch of tablets and none of them had better specs than ours. At best, they matched our specs. People need to calm down. All of them different in either screen size or spen and that's it.

That's the reason why I post here, because I haven't seen any discussion about these new rumored devices and I like getting input from all the smart people at XDA. So far I have heard all good info from here and am grateful for people with more insight than I have.

Yup. But to be fair I would be a little annoyed too if I found out that better versions of our tablets got announced 3 months later.
