The next logical successor to the original Samsung Galaxy Tab is here. Samsung has announced the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, a 7-inch tablet, that tailors to folks looking for an entry-level device. The aforementioned 7-inch display sports 1024×600 resolution, and if that wasn’t enough to drive the “entry-level” feeling home we’re also getting a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a 3 megapixel rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel front camera.

Other Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 specs include 8 or 16GB of internal storage with the option to expand that to 64GB using a microSD card, WiFi N, Bluetooth 3.0, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, a 4,000 mAh battery, aGPS and there will be a model with HSPA+ connectivity.

Samsung expects to roll the WiFi version out starting this May, with the 3G edition getting its time to shine in June. Samsung notes different regions will see rollouts starting at different times so we can’t be too sure about exact release dates until the details are announced.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  2. Wow what a POS. The 10.1 better blow this out of the water.

    1. haha blow..I like getting these. oops wrong forum

  3. wtf man?! what is up with these horrible resolution tablets?! I want answers! garble garble garble!

    1. IKR!? There’s no point in these any more. You would sell them as cheap as the Nexus series, but then it’s like why not just get a Nexus? Google and Amazon are going to own the cheap tablet market.

  4. Oh my gosh!! I read the title and thought this was already out. I have the stupid. I was thinking about the 8 inch tab.

  5. The next big flop

  6. then whats the differece between the tab 2.0 and 3.0?

    1. Those hideous physical buttons

    2. The ability to support a larger memory card and that’s about it…..

      1. apparently also a dual sim? what would i need that? can anyone explain to me, please?

  7. Better be $79.95

    1. Costco special, 3-pack for $100

      1. but wait there’s more! buy 3 get 1 for your pet, Free!

        1. Only for you the next 100 callers, get a snuggie FREE!
          (just pay shipping and processing of only $19.99)

        2. my roomate’s sister makes $87 hourly on the computer. She has been without work for 5 months but last month her check was $12775 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more on  Jive8.c­om

  8. huh did we jump back 2 or 3 years?

  9. better be $1.99

  10. I’m sick of all these shiny plastic devices from Sammy. I get my HTC One tomorrow, and will put my GS 3 for sale on Craigslist. Hopefully Sammys design changes by next year so I can buy an all metal GS 5. That’ll be sweet

  11. What? it’s not a phone?? ;P that’s new!

    1. The cellular version will be ;)
      (not that there’s ANY reason to buy this…)

  12. Worryingly I bet it still sells more than the Nexus 7 / Nexus 7 2. Samsung have seems to have prime positions in Currys, PC World etc in the UK.. Also they are usually in demo mode whereas the homescreen of the Nexus 7 usually looks like a jumble sale after everyone has messed around with it.

  13. Poor resolution. The same main complaint about the Galaxy Tab 2 7″ I already have.

  14. Why is this nearly identical to the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0? I have one and the specs are nearly the same

    Tab 2 7.0 VS Tab 3 7.0:

    -CPU: 1Ghz vs 1.2 Ghz, both dual core
    -Resolution: Both 1024×600
    -Internal storage: 8gb, 16gb, 32gb VS 8gb, 16gb, both expandable
    -Battery: Both 4,000 MAH
    -Internal memory: 1gb vs ???

    So the only differences are: Added HSPA+ versus standard, added .2ghz to the CPU and removed the 32gb option for internal. Hopefully they went to a standard microUSB charger this time.

    This is the laziest refresh ever! Horrible Samsung. Id rather go buy a used Tab 2 and save the money!

  15. I don’t see any difference between the second and the third,Its stupid

  16. Galaxy Note – High End Tablets

    Galaxy Tab – Budget/Low Value Tablets

    this is probably only going to be $129 and thats a great deal

  17. Now we know for sure that the Note is their flagship tablet now.
