Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) officially announced, will be launched in June

A couple of months after announcing the Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016), Samsung this week officially unveiled a larger variant of the tablet: the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016).

Sporting a 10.1-inch display (with 1200 x 1920 pixels), the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, and is powered by an octa-core processor (most likely, this is an Exynos 7870). Although the tablet's official specs sheet shows that the processor is a 11.6 GHz one (see the slideshow below), that's obviously just a typo: in reality, the CPU is clocked at 1.6 GHz.

The new Galaxy Tab weighs 525 grams, measures 155.3 x 254.2 x 8.2 mm, and has a 7300 mAh battery inside. Other features include an 8 MP rear camera, 2 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of expandable internal memory.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) was announced in Germany, where it will be available to buy starting early June, in two color variants: black, and white. Customers will have to pay €289 for the Wi-Fi-only version of the slate, and €349 for the LTE model. We don't know when the new tablet will be released in the US, but we're going to let you know when we hear more about this.
