The price and release date details of the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 suggest that the device will be up for grabs in a couple of days. This service provider has also revealed that the tablet in question will be accompanied by the Windows-based Ativ Smart PC which will set users back by close to $800.
Besides this, the slab’s Sprint version has also been announced and it will start shipping on November 11. The 4G LTE-enabled device’s front panel is graced by a 10.1-inch WXGA PLS TFT multi-touch display which is capable of rendering high definition images in 1280 x 800p resolution. This touchscreen is fitted on a form factor that measures 256.7 x 175.3 x 9.7 millimeters and weighs approximately 583 grams.
It is compatible with the carrier’s 4G LTE as well as HSPA+ networks and should offer multitasking properties with a little assistance from the integrated dual core processor that clocks in a maximum speed of 1GHz as well as 1GB of RAM. AT&T hasn’t mentioned if it is stocking up on the 16GB version or the 32GB one, but it will definitely come with an expansion slot for a microSD card of up to 32GB capacity.
Though the device runs Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, prospective users can expect the slate to receive the Jelly Bean update sooner rather than later. Furthermore, it arrives with dual cameras in tow. A VGA front-mounted snapper should facilitate video conferencing on the move, while a 3MP rear-facing imager is provided for capturing memories in the form of videos and still shots.
Deployed with an accelerometer, light sensor and digital compass, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is pre-loaded with Samsung apps, Samsung Hub, ChatOn messenger, various Google mobile services, Polaris document editor and more. The other features of the slate are inclusive of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and a USB 2.0 port. It employs a standard 7000mAh lithium-ion battery too.
The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 carries a price tag that reads $499.99 (approx. Rs. 27,085) and will be available from November 9 through company-owned retail stores and official website.
