Samsung Galaxy Tab becomes official

So it’s official now — the GT-P1000 takes the center stage with a combo of Cortex-A8 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM and PowerVR SGX540 graphics.

The Galaxy Tab also comes with a SIM card slot for both data connectivity and voice so you can practically makes calls with it. The tablet measures 7 inches across and is pretty thin too at 11.98mm.

3G (HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps)
WiFi 802.11n
Bluetooth 3.0
Gyroscope sensor
Geo-Magnetic sensor
Accelerometer
Light sensor
Android OS 2.2 Froyo
Li-Ion 4,000mAh battery (up to 7 hours movie playback)

The tablet will be out before end of December this year but there’s no word on what the suggested retail price would be.

  1. this one can seriously rival the iPad! Samsung ftw!

  2. the only word that came out to my mouth…. “WOW”

  3. Wow that will fit my cargo pants pocket hehe, borrowed this from an article I read earlier, The trade-off of tablet is obvious. You win because you can show a bigger picture, which is important, and you lose because it just won’t fit in many pockets

  4. this is a must. :)

  5. i want one! para head to head with my iPad 3G :-)

  6. panalo to spec wise…sana mas mura sa iPad kahit konte lang…galing pede pang hawakan ng isang kamay – ipad ang laki eh

  7. Abe,
    How much is this?
    Thanks for reading.

  8. it is above 20k, then boo! if they release it by december, by that time, there will be 4000 peso china tablets too with 3G phone and froyo.

    i will still prefer the china tablets

  9. I love this tab way better than ipad when it comes to specs but ipad is
    Way better in apps.. Also android is not so good esp. If you are downloading too many apps. It slower the process..

  10. i want this for christmas

  11. I’m loving my Galaxy S. I would love this more! WOW!

  12. ipad 16gb = $499
    ipad 16gb + 3g = $629

    Samsung 7″ Galaxy Tab = $ ___?

    abe, pls post update on the latest samsung “itouch killer” >

    SAMSUNG YP-MB2

    specs: 4-inch AMOLED display, 1GHz processor, Wi-Fi, FM radio, DMB TV, GPS, 32GB of storage, with options to extend the use of micro SD card.

    Supports various video and audio formats including MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC, WMA, WMV, ASF, AVI, MPEG4, DivX, and Xvid.

  13. MY NEXT PURCHAASSSEE!!!

    Pagiipunan ko talaga to!

  14. does this have the same pixel density as the Sony Vaio P series? parang masakit sa mata.. This I would have to check out first before giving my verdict hehe

    Spec wise I would say it’s a great tablet (finally hindi na -pad yung pangalan)

  15. Price could be in the range – $800 to $1000.

  16. hmmm ganda, pwede kaya magtext jan?

  17. Interesting. Im frustrated with my iphone’s worthless bluetooth and lots of limitations(u know). This might be a great alternative to the ipad. Looks pretty too.

  18. meron na akong recommendation para kay bonel balingit, ej feihl, asi taulava ska marlou aquino!

    next time kaya meron pra kina mura at mahal?

    prang sapatos na ah… can’t wait marinig sa smartphone vendor “kuya, anong size po?”

  19. baka mabasa ni steve jobs ung comment ko tungkol kay mura at mahal ksama n c dagul.. next year ilabas na nya ung 3g version ng ipod nano.. ang iPhone uNano!

  20. nakow may bagong pagpipilian nanaman! good job on samsung side for releasing their own tablet.

  21. I like it. Does it have USB host? If so I am getting one.

  22. wow that looks really nice. the apps won’t be that bad, considering its got Android’s Marketplace!

    i personally do not require a tablet for now, quite satisfied with my Nexus One. i probably might need a bigger screen next year, and the worthy phone replacement for me is DELL THUNDER! so willing to wait in its release rumored to be early next year!

    by the way, good “Job” Samsung! the Galaxy Tab turned out so much better than I expected. *applause*

  23. wow!!i want one!!sana hindi mahal..

  24. samsung labas lang ng labas ng products, nangagaya lang

  25. It has a camera! How true is it SRP US$300?

  26. @zurimoto:

    What’s your bases on this?

    “.. Also android is not so good esp. If you are downloading too many apps. It slower the process..”

    I’m an Android user and I never experience this.

    ================================================

    I’m confuse whether to but a new laptop or this…

    I love Android. Hope Samsung will support an update for this when Gingerbread 3.0 is officially out.

  27. @xxholicxx
    If they can come up with a better and more affordable product, why not?

  28. This is it. I’ll get one.

  29. Can’t wait for this one. I love the android OS & I hope it wont be as pricy as the iPad.

  30. I can’t wait to see this gadget here in the Philippines..

  31. I think this will be priced above the galaxy S.

  32. for sure laki na nman ng gastos ko this christmas…. sana mura lang

  33. nice! pero pano kaya ang app support nito? yung sa apple app store kasi daming choices. apps/softwares makes a big difference imo

  34. ahh android pala

  35. Mas mahal talaga ang prices sa Europe… Mas mura yan pag nasa US na…

  36. pricing scheme is usually the same amount but different currency. but we’ll see how Samsung will pit this against the pricing of the iPad, maybe when they pair this with a carrier then the subsidized price would make it more inviting.

    there are rumors of the tab pairing with verizon.

  37. @Ryan Ang – Agree! Wala masyadong difference especially when we are talking about prices in the Euro currency vs. US Dollar currency. About $20-50 lang ang minura (sounded wrong haha) sa US ng mobile phones. And about $80 sa laptops.

    Basta mas mura sa iPad, this is definitely a good buy considering its size factor, specs and of course, the Flash support.

    I doubt this would kill the iPad (sa dami ba naman ng fanboys, pero malay natin) but I’m pretty sure the Galaxy Tab can go head to head in terms of features, sales and customer satisfaction with the iPad.

  38. According to Yahoo! It’s 300$, probably around 18k to 20k pesos in the Philippines.

  39. ^how i wish nasa range nga na yan..if not papabili na alng ako abroad..deym really want one.

  40. ^how i wish nasa range nga na yan..if not papabili na alng ako abroad..deym it’s really pretty!!

  41. ^Telco subsidized yata yung $300 price.

  42. micro sim din ba ito? yung voice calls thru sim card ba o may apps pa like skype?

  43. archos 9, n900, and samsung galaxy tab is my best choice as of now!!!!

  44. like it talaga!!!!

  45. tingin ko between 35k+ – 50k price nyan satin kasi yung samsung Wave nila 20k.Yung Galaxy S phone naman 30+ with contract. Mahal T.T

  46. Possible bang makadetect yan ng Portable HD such as Samsung G2 Portable? un lang nmn importante pra sa extra storage eh.

    I’ll buy that for sure pag pwede sya sa samsung G2 ko. it would be like a mini pc for media and browsing on the go.

  47. Amazon puts Samsung Galaxy Tab on sale for £799…
    magkano kaya sa Pinas… Hay naku, kung december pa ang release dito, late nanaman tayo… wahehe, reklamo ng di makapaghintay, ilang araw na akong tumitingin ng updates. araw-araw na didisappoint ako.
    ^^,

  48. i’ll get this one for sure once it’s released here sa Pinas. I don’t need a laptop for i already have a powerful desktop at home. what i need is a mobile device for internet browsing on the go and ebook reader. laptops are a trouble to carry around.

  49. I will wait for mini ipad next year with 7 inch screen size.

  50. I just went from a mall yesterday here in Philippines. The samsung sales clerk showed this one to us, accroding to him, this one costs 35,000 pesos… that is in GATEWAY MALL

  51. pre-order sa smart it’s free under plan 3000 or cash out 4t sa plan 2000..
    sayang nag avail na ako ng N8. i might have gone for galaxy tab Instead

  57. Festival mall.samsung store 3rd floor.meron din sa moa sa samsung stall sa may harap.

  58. This is more ideal compare to ipad and it has lots of features and cheaper compare to ipad. Samsung doing great and it kills the expensive Apple products. Thanks to Samsung. I must have this one.

  59. I have the tab now but its so hard to find cases and accessories for it…. Anyone know places i can get accessories for my TABLET????

  60. ask lang po aku on how to activate gprs on galaxy tab!! thanks po

  61. hi guys,

    am planning to give up my HTC Desire & BB Curve 3G for this. I would like to know if I can link my FB info to the Contacts list of the Galaxy Tab? I am enjoying this feature on my HTC & BB hope it is. thanks..

  62. I simply desired to appreciate you yet again. I am not sure the things I could possibly have accomplished without the entire concepts provided by you about such industry. This was a difficult concern in my opinion, however , finding out a new specialized avenue you dealt with it took me to leap for contentment. I am just thankful for the assistance and as well , believe you realize what an amazing job you happen to be carrying out teaching most people by way of your website. Probably you’ve never encountered any of us.
