Upcoming New Tablets from Samsung (Galaxy Tab 3 line) and Google (Nexus 7 II) will be available very soon. Tomorrow, in fact, (July 7) for Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab lineup of 3 different sized tablets. Although Google has remained mum so far regarding a Nexus 7 Gen2
(Generation II),strong indications are that the company will be coming
out with the new model by the end of this month. Google had released the
original Google Nexus 7 about this time last year.
Unlike last year, however, besides the iPad and Amazon Kindle Fire, Samsung’s and Google’s upcoming 2013 tablets will be competing with an onslaught of new Android Tablets as well as a growing array of Windows 8 Tablets, including Win8 Tabs from Acer, Dell, Levono and others.
Three Sizes, Prices: Samsung Galax Tab 3
Samsung’s New Tablet line includes the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, and the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.
The Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 features a compact size and lightweight design featuring a 7-inch, 1024×600 resolution TFT display. It’s outfitted with the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, a 3-megapixel back-facing camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 1.2-GHz dual-core processor. It has 8GB of storage (plus microSD expansion). Price: $199
The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is being positioned to compete in the e-reader as well as tablet markets. This tab features “reading mode” technology that provides “paperlike readability in various lighting conditions.” It comes with a 1280×800 resolution display (PLS), 5-megapixel back-facing camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 1.5 GB ram and a 1.5-GHz dual-core processor, and runs Android 4.2. Base model has 16 GB internal storage. Price: $299
Google Nexus 7, 2nd Generation
Although the company has not publicly released any information, Google’s high-res (323 pixel density) Nexus 7, second generation tablet, is anticipated to be released (or at least announced) by the end of this month.
Mingchi Keo, KGI securities analyst reported (source: AppleInsider) that it will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip, 1920 x 1200 7-inch display, 5 megapixel camera for the same price as the original version that came out about this time last year. $199. Sources have told Reuters that Google is aiming to ship as many as eight million of the 7-inch tablets in the second half of the year.
Besides its retina-quality display, sources also says that the new Google tab will be sized very close to or possibly smaller than Apple’s iPad Mini. $199 is far less than Apple’s entry point with its mini at $329. And with its higher resolution screen, better cameras, and larger storage, it’s hard to imagine the new Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 offering any serious competition to the new gen2 Google 7-inch tablet, unless Samsung drops the price significantly and quickly. The generation 1 Nexus 7, however, has lately been receiving reports of a downgrade in performance following extended us, so stay tuned.
