Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Launched- 7 Inch Tablet With Dual Core CPU and 1GB RAM

by Ritij Khurana • April 30, 2013

Samsung has just announced the latest iteration of its budget tablet series, the Galaxy Tab series. Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 will take over from the Galaxy Tab 2 and will come with a Galaxy S4-ish design. It looks like a tad smaller version of the Galaxy Note 8.0. It will come in both 3G and Wi-Fi guises and the 3G variant will feature the calling functionality and Samsung has even added up a proximity sensor to the device to take care of the display when you are calling.

The Galaxy Tab 3 gets lighter in weight and more compact in size as compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab 2. The tablet comes with a 7 inch capacitive display unit which has a resolution of 1024×600 pixels. This is pretty much what was offered on the Tab 2 and there’s nothing new bout the display. Powering the tablet will be a 1.2 GHz dual core processor (most probably a Broadcomm unit ) which will be coupled with a 1GB RAM for multitasking.

It will come with two memory options of 8GB and 16GB. The storage of the device can be expanded via a microSD card slot by upto 64GB. It gets Bluetooth in addition to Wi-Fi and 3G for added connectivity. Giving the tablet juice will be a 4,000 mAH battery which shall last around 7-8 hours according to us. It launches with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which seems a bit underwhelming seeing the fact that Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update is already here.

It gets a 3.0 megapixel rear camera for occasional clicks as well and to supplement it will be a 1.3 megapixel front camera. The Wi-Fi only model will start its global roll out in May with the 3G and Wi-Fi variant joining the ranks in June. The Galaxy Tab 2 has just had its price dropped significantly and will get another revision for sure when the next generation comes in. Seeing the fact that it’s not much of an upgrade, the Tab 2 makes somewhat a lot more sense.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Leaked Pictures And Specifications

by Ritij Khurana • April 30, 2013

Samsung has been stretching the size of smartphones with their flagships every year and this year they went ahead and brought a 6.3 inch device. But it all started with the Note series and the latest member to enter the Note family will be the Note 3 which is expected to be launched at the IFA 2013. Samsung could not keep the Note 3 under the wraps and an alleged image of the Note 3 has skipped on to the interweb.

The picture has Note 3 alongside the current Note series flagship, the Note 2. The Note 3 will grow in size and will come with a 5.9 inch screen and have a slightly larger footprint than the Note 2. The screen is expected to be a 1080p display unit and will be a big up from the current 720p display unit. It is rumoured to get the 13 megapixel camera unit found on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the front one will be a 2 megapixel unit.

Google Nexus 7 Tablet 32GB Now In India From Play Store For Rs.18,999

by Ritij Khurana • April 30, 2013

Google has slowly started bringing the Nexus devices to India and the Nexus 7 in 16GB guise has already been doing good numbers for the company since it was launched. Later on, it was joined by the 32GB version and the 32GB + Wi-Fi version but the same was not available on Google Play store. Now the company has just made the 32GB Wi-Fi only version available via its play store for Rs.18,999 and the same has ran out of stock pretty well.

But you need not worry as we expect the device to be made available soon enough so you can grab it then. The device is similar to the 16GB Wi-Fi only version in terms of internals except the internal memory seeing a boost. The tablet still is one of the best tablets under Rs.20,000 and you can choose one as per your memory requirements as it does not get expandable memory as an option, and neither does the iPad mini which is its main competitor.

Samsung has started rolling out the Jelly Bean update for its devices and Galaxy S2 got it last month. Now the Galaxy S Advance is getting it and with the price drop and the latest version of Android, Galaxy S Advance makes for a great buy. The smartphone will get a slew of features with the update which include the S3 like Nature UX which makes the device’s interface look similar to S3. It also gets features such as Direct Call, Smart Stay and Pop Up play as well.

Byond P1 Phablet Launched At Rs.10,999- Canvas 2 Competitor?

by Ritij Khurana • April 26, 2013

The Indian smartphone market is currently the most exciting market to be in and it has the maximum scope for growth in future. Not a day passes when there is not a single launch taking place and the latest arrival is the Byond P1 which is a phablet from Byond. It will join the ranks with P3 and P2. The Byond P1 has been priced at Rs.10,999 and the phablet comes with a 5.3 inch qHD screen and some decent specs, but nothing ground breaking.

The Byond P1 has a 5.3 inch IPS display unit and the processor is a 1GHz dual core processor. It has been coupled with a 1GB RAM which is good seeing the fact that most budget dual core devices come with a 512 MB RAM. It gets an internal memory of 4GB which can be expanded by a microSD card by another 32GB. The smartphone will run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and expecting an Android 4.2 update is just a bit too optimistic.

Like other budget smartphones, it will be a dual sim smartphone. The device gets an 8 megapixel rear camera with a LED flash and there is a 1.3 megapixel front camera present as well. It gets a 2,000 mAH battery unit which we think is a bit too less seeing the fact that it has to power such a huge screen. The smartphone gets the usual set of connectivity features which include 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to ensure you remain connected.

The smartphone’s thickness stands at 9.7mm and it weighs 188 grams which is tad heavy. The smartphone will be made available in two colours, Blue and White and it is being offered with a free flip cover and a screen guard as an introductory offer. It is on sale now and will be competing with the likes of the Micromax Canvas 2 and the recently launched budget quad core droids like the Karbonn S1 and Intex Aqua Wonder 2 which retail for lower price points.
