ICS-running Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 unveiled, hands-on inside

26 February, 2012

Samsung just announced the latest addition to their tablet lineup with the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. The slate is built around a 10.1” PLS LCD and runs on the latest Android release – 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The screen resolution of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is identical to that of the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 – 1280 x 800 pixels. The tablet is powered by a 1GHz dual-core CPU and packs 1 GB of RAM. The internal storage options are 16GB and 32GB and there’s a microSD card slot on both versions.

There are a couple of cameras on board the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 – a 3 megapixel main one at the back, which can capture 1080p video and a VGA unit at the front for video-chatting purposes. The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is actually a bit thicker (9.7mm vs 8.6mm) and heavier (588g vs 560g) than the Galaxy Tab 10.1 even though the two have identical 7000 mAh batteries.

We got a chance to spend some time with the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and we are able to bring you a bunch of live photos of the slate.
