Samsung Flaunts Yet Another Galaxy Variant – Galaxy Tab 7.7

With Verizon Wireless, Samsung has unleashed its new Galaxy Tab 7.7 at Consumer Electronics Show 2012, Las Vegas. It is the world’s first tablet that features the brilliant Super AMOLED Plus display. It is thinner and lighter than Samsung’s previous tab. Like all its tablets, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is sleek and smart with metal finishing. It is slim with thickness of 7.9mm and weighs about 12 ounces. We can say it’s one of the most portable devices.

Galaxy Tab 7.7 surely tempts you with brilliant colors; all thanks to Samsung’s Super AMOLED Plus display technology. Its contrast ratio, response time and sharpness make viewing clearer and sharper. With 7.7 inch WXGA (1280 x 800) display, it offers the highest pixel density and 4-way rotation that makes picture clear and vivid at any angle. It is provided with 2MP front camera and 3MP camera on the back with 720p video recording.

This Android powered tablet can also be used as smart remote control for TVs. It has a built-in IR blaster that works hand-in-hand with Peel Smart Remote app. It literally converts your tablet into universal remote control. Other features of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 include Samsung Hubs that provides eBooks, SNS, Games and Music, Full HD Player, Rich Browsing, and an entire suite of Google Services.

Overall, Galaxy Tab 7.7 is admirable with its new display technology. However, Samsung haven’t said anything about upgrading device with Android 4.0, which is quite disappointing. Price details are not available yet. According to Samsung and Verizon, it will show up in market within few weeks.

Whatever it is, it will have to compete with Apple iPad 2. Let’s see whether Galaxy Tab 7.7 makes it.
