Samsung has just announced the upcoming availability of its Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and 8.0 in India. The tablets have just been launched during an official press event and will be released on July 21.

As expected, the slates have different names in India, so those who wish to purchase one of the three upcoming tablets should look for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 211, 310 and 311 instead.

However, there will be two versions of Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 up for grabs in India, one that will feature 3G support and goes by the name of Galaxy Tab 3 311 and another that will pack Wi-Fi only and will be sold as Galaxy Tab 3 310.

According to AndroidOS, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 311 has been priced at Rs 25,725 ($430/€330), while the Wi-Fi only version (Galaxy Tab 3 310) costs Rs 21,945 ($365/€280).

Specs-wise, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 211 comes with a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 1024 x 600 pixels resolution.

The tablet is powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and packs a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory.

It also sports a 3-megapixel rear photo snapper, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera and a 4,000 mAh Li-Ion battery.

The other two Galaxy Tab 3 tablets come with 8-inch capacitive touchscreen displays that support 1280 x 800 pixels resolution.

They are powered by Android 4.2 Jelly Bean platform and pack 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 310 and 311 feature 5-megapixel main cameras, 1.3-megapixel front-facing cameras and 4,450 mAh Li-Ion batteries.
