Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 range of Android tablets to be launched in India tomorrow

Jul 19: announced its new Galaxy Tab 3 range in London and now it seems the company is ready to bring these tablets to our shores. Earlier this morning, the South Korean company tweeted a teaser image of the tablet ahead of the launch event at Delhi tomorrow. Though it announced the 7, 8 and 10.1-inch variants in the Galaxy Tab 3 range, the Samsung India e-store listings show that we might only be getting the 7 and 8-inch tablets for now. That said, there are chances that the 10.1-inch Intel-powered tablet could be heading our way some time later.

Talking of the specifications, the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 sports a 7-inch WSVGA (1024×600 pixels) display and is powered by a dual-core Marvell processor clocked at 1.2GHz and paired with 1GB of RAM.

Other features included are 3-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front camera, 8GB of expandable internal storage, 4,000mAh battery and it will run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, on the other hand, flaunts an 8-inch WXGA TFT (1280×800 pixels) display, which is similar to the one on the Galaxy Note 8.0 but without the stylus functionality.

The tablet includes features like 1.5GHz dual-core Exynos 4412 processor, Mali 400 GPU, 1.5GB of RAM, 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel camera on the front, 4,450mAh battery and 16GB of internal memory that can be expanded using a microSD card. Connectivity-wise, the tablet features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, USB and A-GPS and on the software front, the device runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Earlier reports have suggested that Samsung is likely to price the 7-inch tablet somewhere around Rs 12,000 and the 8-inch tab at around Rs 18,000 in India. We should have more information tomorrow when we report live from the Samsung event. So stay tuned.
