10-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab Spotted?
It’s been rumored that Samsung was preparing a 10-inch version of the Galaxy Tab before, but no evidence has yet to show itself confirming as much. While we do still believe Samsung has a 10-inch Galaxy Tab in the works to compete on a more level playing field with the iPad, we’ll still have to take this in-the-wild spotting with a grain of salt.
Wired is covering the FPD’s International Green Device 2010 show in China this week and they’ve come across a booth of Samsung’s showing off their new 10.1-inch LCD panels which have been designed to be thinner and lighter in weight. Alongside a netbook that this thing was scrammed into to show it off sat a “prototype e-reader” device that looked just like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, only 3 inches bigger.
They claim that it has the same capacitive buttons on the bottom of the device’s bezel as the 7-inch version and has the ability to make video calls – two features that would leave anyone to believe that this is an overgrown version of what’s currently available.
Unfortunately, the display unit shows that its resolution is still only 1024×600, but that could always change as this is likely just a very early model. We’ll continue to call your bluff, Samsung. We know you want that 10-inch Galaxy Tab out on the market just as much as we do.
