Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 tablets rumored to be coming in June and July

As far as Samsung is concerned, the Apple iPad mini has a bullseye painted on it. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 has just launched in the U.K. at a Samsung store, and now there is speculation that two variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 will launch in both June and July. Both of these tablets are 8 inches which competes with the 7.9 inch display on the Apple iPad mini. Yet, both Samsung devices are different, aimed at different styles of buyers.

The Samsung Galaxy Note tablets (8.0 and 10.1) support the S Pen and include many of the same features that you find on the Samsung GALAXY Note II like Multi-Windows. The Galaxy Note tablets are like bigger versions of a smartphone minus the phone capabilities. The Samsung Galaxy Tab devices are more similar to a traditional tablet and do not include support for the S Pen. According to the speculation, the 16GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Wi-Fi only, will launch in White (SM-T3110) during June. The following month, the 16GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 3G in White (SM-T3100) will be released.

You might have noticed the new 'SM' prefix for the two tablets. Samsung's own website has confirmed a whole line of new devices with a model number starting with 'SM'. The new the SM-T210、SMT210R、SM-T210X、SM-T211、SM-T215、SM-T310、SM-T310、SM-T310X、SM-T311、SM-T312 and SM-T315. We're only guessing, but perhaps the 'T' represents tablet.
