14 DAY TRIAL // Shortly after Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) onto the market, the South Korean company decided to come forward with a much larger tablet, the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1).
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) is currently available for pre-order online for $399.99 USD (305 EUR) at Office Depot.
According to the retailer, the slate will be available for immediate purchase online and at its retail locations across the country beginning May 13.
It is also worth mentioning all pre-sale orders placed online will ship on May 11, via free next business day delivery in most locations.
“On the heels of the GALAXY Tab 2 7” launch, we are pleased to now offer two choices of one of the most sought-after tablets on the market,” said Randy Wick, Chief Technology Buyer for Office Depot.
Although the tablet is powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, there way to few things that differentiate it from its Galaxy Tab 10.1 predecessor, which was launched on the market back in June.
Unfortunately, previous rumors didn't pan out and Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) comes equipped with a dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz, instead of a much better quad-core CPU.
However, the new Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) embeds a TI OMAP 4430 processor and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU, while the older Galaxy Tab 10.1 packs an Nvidia Tegra 2 T20, which is complemented by an ULP GeForce graphics processing unit.
The rest of the features are almost similar, including the large 10.1-inch PLS TFT capacitive touchscreen display that supports 800 x 1280 pixels resolution, and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating.
The slate comes with 16GB of internal memory, 1GB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to32GB). There's also a 3-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, as well as a secondary VGA camera in the front. Check it out here.
