Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Hands-on
Tab 2 10.1 would be released on May 13th
The announcement that Samsung's follow-up to its Galaxy Tab 10.1 would be receiving some downgrades from the previous entry, filled with a mixture confusion and disappointment. Eric Franklin just couldn't wrap his head around why the sequel to one of the premiere Android tablets would launch with a less impressive spec list than its predecessor. Yesterday, Samsung revealed that the Tab 2 10.1 would be released on May 13th for $400. That's $100 lower than the original Tab 10.1's list price and it fills the logic hole he believes Samsung was falling into, he is still not 100 percent on board.
The new device still houses a 1GHz dual-core CPU, although it's likely not a Tegra 2 (Samsung didn't confirm) and Samsung smartly adds microSD-supported memory expansion up to 32GB. The speakers are larger and have been moved to the edge of the left and right side bezel (in landscape mode). The dock connector, volume rocker, power/sleep button, and headphone jack all seem to be located in about the same places. The IR blaster found on the Tabs 7.7 and 7.0 Plus makes its way to the Tab 2 10.1 and in conjunction with Peel's Smart Remote app, helps to turn your tablet into a remote control for your TV.
