The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is to be the first Samsung tablet to run the Ice Cream Sandwich Android operating system.

It will not be 10.1 inches but smaller, 7 inches and the resolution has not increased, still 1024 x 600 and LCD, not AMOLED. It will not house any quad core processor, still 1Ghz dual-core processor. The rear camera is no 5 MP but 3 MP.  

Also, it will not be competing for slimness. Its 10.5 mm depth is thicker than any of Samsung's other tablets, including the 7.7, 8.9 and 10.1-inch models.It will come in either 8, 16 and 32 GB, with WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and optional HSPA+.

Because of these lower specs, the Galaxy Tab 2 is expected to be priced a little lower. It will be unveiled in the coming Mobile World Congress.

Another day another Galaxy device from Samsung.

This time round it's the Samsung Galaxy S Advance.

It has a dual core 1.0 GHz processor and HSPA 14.4 Mbps connectivity, no less. The 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display has a curved glass design that is supposed to fit the user’s face. 

It runs Android Gingerbread with Samsung’s own TouchWiz user interface on top. It utilises apps like Samsung Hubs and ChatON services. Music Hub has over 11 million tracks and can personalize users’ music catalogues. Readers Hub has over 2.3 million e-books, 3,500 magazine and 200 newspaper titles. The Game Hub has thousands of catalogued games and gamer news feeds and news. ChatON connects users using phone numbers instead of usernames and passwords, has instant messaging, group chatting and sharing of content. Find My Mobile is a unique lost-phone management system with secure phone data encryption that can trace lost phone via the Web or delete the device’s data remotely.

Samsung, on the way to conquer every inch of the market, now comes out with another tablet called Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. Other than being an Android tablet, it also functions as a smart remote control for TV. Not good enough? How about a Super AMOLED plus display? You heard it. All 7.7 inches of it.

Let’s get down to the details. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is powered by 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, 16 GB storage and is 4G-LTE enabled. The back camera is 3 megapixel while the front-facing camera is 2 megapixel. Sporting a metal back, the tablet is slim at 7.89 mm.

This definitely looks like the successor of the Galaxy Tab 7 plus. Despite the increased size, you can still call it a small tablet. With so many Samsung tablets out there, they are definitely giving consumers variety. There is no pricing yet and that is really the critical point in deciding the success of Galaxy Tab 7.7 as it dons a Super AMOLED plus display. Also, there are no promises from Samsung whether this tablet will be getting an update to Android 4.0. Let's all hope that there will be an announcement about it soon. 

For those who are interested in the first Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, wait no more as it will be in Malaysia, soon. Looks like DiGi Online Store is taking orders for Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
