14 DAY TRIAL // The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) is a slate that has appeared in numerous leaks in the past few months.
The product will be Sammy’s attempt to penetrate the low-budget market in 2014 and it has been spotted going through the FCC, getting its Bluetooth SIG certification and even appeared in some tests on the GFXBenchmark website, revealing its low-end performance.
Now, we receive the official confirmation that the tablet exists and is indeed going to be available on the market soon enough.
It appears Samsung Poland has posted a User Manual for the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite model number SM-T110, which is actually the Wi-Fi version of the new model.
But wait, that’s not all. Polish retailer X-Kom has already listed the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite, asking $165 / €121 (previous reports have placed it at $129 / €94) for the Wi-Fi model and $236 / €173 for the 3G one (model SM-T111).
The tablet’s specifications have made an appearance in the past, but according to the retailer’s listing here are the features it is going to sport.
The slate will arrive with a 7-inch display featuring a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and will draw power form a dual-core 1.2GHz Marvell PXA986 processor with Vivante GC100 GPU and fitted with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory (expandable via the microSD card).
Furthermore, the slate will be equipped with one 2MP rear camera, an average 3600 mAh battery and run the older Android 4.2 version.
The Galaxy Tab 3 Lite measures 193 x 117 x 9.7 mm / 7.59 x 4.6 x 0.38 inches and weighs just 310 g / 0.6 lbs thus making it a bit larger and heavier than the previous gen Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (188 x 111.1 x 9.9 mm / 7.4 x 4.3 x 0.38 inches).
Judging by the photos posted by the retailer showing the upcoming tablet, we shouldn’t see many differences in terms of design compared to the old 7-inch Tab 3. This is confirmed by the user manual posted by Samsung Poland, as well.
So there you have it, the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite will arrive soon, so sit tight and wait for it.
