Samsung va lansa la Mobile World Congress de la Barcelona (27 februarie-1 martie), a doua generatie a tabletei Galaxy TAB. Noul gadget va aduce un plus la capitolul hardware dar si noul Android 4.0.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 are un ecran de 7-inch similar cu cel de pe prima versiune. La capitolul hardware, sud-coreenii au inclus un procesor de 1GHz dual-core, 1GB de RAM, doua camere – una de 3 MP si o alta VGA, o baterie de 4000 mAh si 16GB sau 32GB capacitate de stocare.
In ceea ce priveste software-ul, noul Galaxy Tab vine cu ultimele versiuni TouchWiz UI si Android 4.0.
Parcurgand specificatiile tehnice, putem spune ca noua tableta nu iese cu absolut nimic in evidenta fata de concurenta. In aceste conditii, singurul lucru care ar putea sa faca diferenta ar putea fi pretul.
Nu exista insa, pentru moment, astfel date. Ce se stie este ca tableta va fi lansata luna viitoare in Suedia, Finlanda, Norvegia si Danemarca, iar apoi, treptat, si pe celelalte piete. Pentru mai multe amanunte, cititi comunicatul de presa de mai jos.
