14 DAY TRIAL // The much bigger version of the Samsung Galaxy Note is about to hit Australian shores via Telstra.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 4G has been recently spotted in Telstra’s internal inventory system, which suggests that the slate’s launch is closer than we originally thought.
The folks over at AusDroid have just been tipped on the upcoming release of the Galaxy Note 10.1 4G at Telstra, though no additional details on the tablet’s pricing options have emerged for the moment.
While the Wi-Fi only variant of Galaxy Note 10.1 is already available for purchase in Australia, the 4G version has yet to hit shelves.
Although the 4G model of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is likely to be subsidized by Telstra, customers will be required to sign up to a long term agreement in order to grab the slate.
Those unfamiliar with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 4G tablet should know that the tablet will ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform out of the box.
However, Samsung has already announced the slate will receive a Jelly Bean update at some point. Hopefully, the upgrade will be available for download by year’s end. In fact, the rollout has already started in Europe, but it will take some time until it reaches all regions.
Furthermore, the Galaxy Note 10.1 4G is equipped with a quad-core Exynos 4412 processor clocked at 1.4 GHz, which is complemented by a Mali-400MP graphics processing unit and no less than 2GB of RAM.
In addition, the tablet packs 16/32/64GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD memory card.
The 10.1-inch PLS capacitive touchscreen display supports 800 x 1280 pixels resolution and 16 million colors. On the back, the slate sports a 5-meagpixel photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash and HD (720p) video recording, while on the front there’s a secondary 1.9-megapixel camera for video calls.
