Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 announced

The 10-inch form factor returns, but the top-end Tab 3 is still a mid-range device

Samsungs second Tab announcement today brings news of the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, which as you may have guessed is a 10.1-inch version of the Galaxy Tab 3 line. Spec-wise, theres not much to separate the Tab 3 10.1 from the 8-inch variant announced alongside it. Youve got a 1.6GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM (less than the 8-incher, oddly), 16 or 32GB of storage backed up by microSD expandability.

Its also running the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean along with the most recent iteration of Samsungs TouchWiz interface. And youve got Wifi, 3G and 4G LTE connectivity options available, as well as Bluetooth 4.0.

Disappointingly, Samsung has opted to stick with a 1280x800 display resolution on the 10-inch Tab 3, meaning youve got the same pixel count as the Tab 3 8.0, only spread over a much larger area. So were dealing with a mid-range Android tablet here, and Samsung will likely choose to compete on price rather than specs when the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 reaches British shores later this year. Theres no word of any official release date or price just yet, however.

Check past the break for more images and the official spec sheet.
