A new [The follow-up to Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1] w Samsung tablet to be launched in February is set to offer a display beyond anything currently on the market, reports suggest.Long-standing rumours that Samsung has been working on a tablet with a thinner bezel, building on the work done on the company’s televisions, were bolstered by reports that a new product would launch at Mobile World Congress in February.
According to BGR.com, an 11.6” screen-size tablet will launch at the Barcelona show, but will be approximately the same size as the current, wide-bezelled Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1” and feature 2560 x 1600 resolution. The current iPad 2 offer 1024 x 768 pixels in a 9.7” screen. A new iPad, with a display equivalent to the iPhone's 'Retina Display', is expected in Spring or Summer next year.
Apple and Samsung have been locked in a battle over patents and any revisions to the Samsung product range are likely to make it less similar to the iPad 2. Samsung, however, also supplies chips for the iPad 2 itself. Apple successfully got the Galaxy Tab banned in Australia and some European countries earlier this year, but those bans have now been lifted.
BGR claims that the new Samsung tablet will run Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and offer a 16:10 aspect ratio while running from a dual-core Exynos 5250 processor clocked at 2GHz. Android 4.0 also features the Android Beam technology for transferring files, and BGR suggests that wireless docking could also be used to encourage Android users to adopt Apple AirPlay-style technology to put their content onto TV screens.
Samsung declined to comment.
