Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 preview: First look

01 September 2011
Last year’s IFA is where the tale of Samsung and tablets started and now the company is ready to open a new chapter and it’s one we couldn’t be more excited about. The SuperAMOLED screens were one of the best things to ever happen to the smartphone industry and now they have landed on slates as well. Meet the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7...

    Shame on apple with the injunction against another tablet in germany!
    I can't see where galaxy tab 7.7 and the ipad2 are similiar. They are so different!
    Different aspect ratio, different screen technology (superior in SGT7.7), different resolution (much higher on the SGT7.7), different size, different weight, different os...

      it is a good product yet with apple trying to ban rivals from hitting the shelves maybe we should all start to brand ourselves with the crappy logo.

Because it has GOT DIAMOND and GOLD! I THINK the price won't drop that much, WHEN you compare the price with iphone! The market is driven by demand and supply. If one day, Apple doesn't offer a phone/tablet that MEETS consumers' need, then the price of Apple products will also drop like other brands!

                Is this device capable of playing real-world HD-video (H.264 high-profile)? That would give it a huge advantage over all the tegra2-based devices on the market.

                  the problems with these samsung gadgets is their resale value which s low compared to ipad, u buy an ipad u sell it 2 years later for half the price, a samsung, maybe less 60-80% lost.and may have problems to find someone.

                  look I am not a fan of apple at all. but i think the best would be to wait for ipad3.

                    Yet another knockoff from Samsung. Now they decided to rip not only the iPad (front) but HTC Flyer (back) as well.

                        Too many products from Samsung, not enough differentiation in them, too smaller margins for Samsung spell large financial problems in the future. One good iphone 5 or a new Ipad 3 would eat into their profits something terrible, that is their serious problem. Samsung cannot buy a market by releasing a new mobile every week or a ipad copy. Go to a Samsung shop, everyone looks, but not buying. So where is the innovation.

                          Since viewing angle is specified starting from the perpendicular to the display surface in every single LCD panel spec I've seen, I'd say an angle close to 180 degrees is indeed extreme - it's the _back_ of the bloody panel - so I'd say any visibility there is quite an achievement.

                          Unless what you really meant was that the usable viewing angle is nearly a full 180 degrees on both axes, that is...

                                Awesome. Such a nice looking and sounding piece of equipment. I have the SGT7" and the size is perfect for travel and use. With that combined with these specs you can't go wrong. Go Samsung!
