Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), offers Ice Cream Sandwich on a seven-inch platter

Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), offers Ice Cream Sandwich on a seven-inch platter
It looks like Samsung has just taken the wraps off its latest tablet offerings, with the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) -- an ICS-laced follow-up to the company's original seven-incher. Available in both 3G and WiFi varieties, this redux doesn't mark a huge departure from its predecessor, packing a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 1024 x 600 LCD. The big changes, however, come in the software department, with the Galaxy Tab 2 shipping with Android 4.0 straight out of the box. Other than that, you'll find a three-megapixel rear-facing camera, a VGA shooter up front, Bluetooth capabilities, and HSPA+ connectivity. No word yet on pricing or availability, but it's worth noting that we first saw this announcement hit Samsung's RSS feed earlier this morning, and it appears to have been pulled since then. It all looks awfully official to us, but when it becomes officially official, we'll be sure to update this post accordingly. Until then, be sure to head past the break for a shot of its backside.

Maybe, the galaxy note 10.1 is good for you

They're yet to mention whether this or the new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 have the Tegra 2 chip, even if I didn't have my original Tab there's no way I'd buy it with a Tegra 2.

Really, ohhh come on Samsung why are you doing this, this is an inferior model compared to the galaxy 7.7 the only thing it has going for is ICS which the 7.7 doesn't at the moment. This is why Samsung is playing catch-up to Apple even though I deeply believe that the tabs are supperior but churning all these different models for what? Just concentrate on one single model and make it the best device available.

I would rather get the Asus transformer infinity 700.

that would explain why samsung doesn´t upgrade the original tab to ICS

7" is good for carrying around, so 3G is a must-have feature.

when will out transformer 3?

when ASUS are going to release next generation of Transfomer tablet.

I think you are asking when ASUS are going to release next generation of Transfomer tablet. But there is no such device announced so far. So I guess we can expect it by the end of this year or early 2013

No the 300t is the budget version of the prime with a few less features but otherwise the same specs its more of a cousin than a predicessor

TF700 is expected by the end of the month (june 2012). 1900x1200 IPS, quad core T3. Dont recall where I read it, yesterday a "source" at Asus has confirmed that they are on schedule,

Galaxy tab 3

I picked up a tab 3 today, just wondering if its been rooted yet, anybody know?

COngrats on your tab 3 but you are in the wrong section. This is TAB 2 sections.

I know but there is no Tab 3 section

Just curious. I saw that they recently released the Tab 3. What does it have over the Tab 2 besides a home button? Specs seem almost the same.

The main differences between the two are the processor 1.2Ghz and the 1.3 megapixel camera. It also has a nice alluminum bezel, micro usb port and the home button. Other than that not much difference.
Sent from my SM-T210R using XDA Premium HD app

yep, they dropped the funky charger, micro usb port like you said and the entire body is less wide--my screen protector from the tab 2 hangs off on both sides.
looking forward to a new section!!

Tab 3 7.0 rootable yet?
Do people able to root the device yet? Can we use the same method as the tab 2 7 ? Will it brick or anything?

Unless you see a specific root instruction for your device, do not try anything.
No matter how similar tab2 and tab3 are, they are different devices. Just wait for the new section for your device to be created.
Stop bringing your questions here, cuz we can't answer them. We all have tab2. How would we know?

There are probably dedicated threads for nexus 7.2 but nothing for our tab 3 yet. My 8 will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to root and debloat.

I'm just like you, can never wait for these type of methods! They should sell these also as "rooted version"..!

I just got mine 3 days ago, so far no big problems just an occasional hang-ups when i open several apps....
Sent from my SM-T210 using xda app-developers app

Im curious. Those of you who purchased the Tab3 7 inch. Are you upgrading from another 7 inch tab? What tab is this one replacing?

I am upgrading from the tab 2 7 inch just because they were out of stock on a return. wish I hadn't the tab 3 is no big difference, the stock rom is bloated and yes, the internet gets dropped when idle for me too.

I got the 8". Replacing a 1st gen Kindle Fire - tired of being restricted to the Amazon App Store etc (and rooting of course takes away the instant video and free kindle book prime benefits) . Also have the Galaxy S Blaze phone and very happy with it which led me to the Tab 3. 8" is a really nice size for use as an e-reader.
On both the Tab 3 and my S Blaze, I had trouble keeping WiFi connection when connected to my N router (I run one G and one N b/c I don't have a dual-band that will maintain the N speed and we still have some G only devices). They stay connected to the G (Linksys) with no problem. Never investigated further as it doesn't make enough difference for me to care. Something to think about.

anyone with x86 10.1?
how it's for gaming? carma, gta, dead space etc?

what's a good 3d game to try on 8.0? i don't game on tablet or phone.sometimes play ballsbreaker and drawsome type of games.
still no dedicated tab 3 thread? tab3 doesn't deserve any attention? overpriced crap? i like my 8. mostly 5 star reviews. hope its going to be very popular soon.

I have a tab 2 10.1
im looking for a replacement but im torn between
Galaxy tab 3 10.1(hasnt been released in my country yet)
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy Note 8.0
all of them are quite an upgrade from my tab 2 but i dont know, what do you guys think?

[Q] Wait for the next generation Kindle Fire HD or get the Nexus 7 (2013)?

Hi guys!
So I was wondering, the 2013 Nexus 7 model was recently released & it does pack in a lot of specs since it's new. I was thinking of going for it then I was wondering whether to wait for next KFHD. I've been reading rumours, it looks like overpasses the N7 in benchmarks and also will have much better/newer hardware (for instance, Snapdragon 800 CPU).
What do you guys think? Should I go for the Nexus right now or wait at least until the new Kindle gets announced? I reckon CyanogenMOD would be available later, so software ain't a problem.

Just wondering if our device is still going to get the Lollipop update in the future. I have seen loads of news on the Shield tablet receiving the update but what about us?
The Nexus 7 2013 is having a price drop, is it worth jumping ship?

Nvidia Tegra Note 7 will receive Android 5 Lollipop update!

Android 5.0 Lollipop
Do you have any news for this thread?
I have asked Nvidia about that in Twitter

I heard someone say on Nvidia's forum that we would see the update in February, but it was just some guy, so take that FWIW.

About Lollipop
I think that guy is right, because we have waited very long for just stock android build.It have to be in February

i heard that, too, that someone said it could be released on february (on nvidia's facebook page : Nvidia Tegra). that person meant that he got the information from a support member or someone who works for nvidia.

Still waiting
OK, very good. Let's wait for that ****en update.

i'm an nvidia fan, i loved the tegra 3 and tegra 4 too!

I would assume we will get the update, but no idea when. But when you compare to other devices, nothing much outside of the Nvidia Shield Tab, and Nexus devices, have officially gotten their update and even more delays are probably caused from the buggnyness of 5.0.0 vs 5.0.2, so waiting to release updates is sort of in the best interest of all OEM's at the moment.
Patience and hell, the stock KK still is pretty good on my note. Sure it has the touchscreen issue opening with the cover but a quick on/off fixes that right up and everything runs great on it.

Ten bucks says that stupid bug with the cover and the touchscreen is still there after the Lollipop update... it's been there since day one.

Maybe, but really it is a super minor issue that could even be chalked up to the screen cover tech or pen input tech itself. Really I would rather the screen cover not turn on the screen and I just hit the button either way.
On a gaming note, if you like Tanks, or play World of Tanks on PC or X360, you need to check out WoT Blitz on the this tab, it looks and works great.

Not much details on lollipop except announcement. Sadly, no custom ROMs for this tab. Request developers to do something in custom ROMs pleaseee.

There won't ever be any custom roms because Nvidia's source code and GIThub are a mess, and everyone who's tried to do it has ended up running into a wall at some point. There's a custom kernel, but when I tried it my tab became very stuttery, and overclocking seemed to have no effect on gaming performance... it just ruined the battery life.
