Samsung tablet with 11.6
Details have leaked about what will likely be the first tablet from Samsung to ship running Android 4.0, but the OS version news has been overshadowed by the reported specs on the screen of the new device. BGR first reported the leaked info, and claims that the tablet will have a "retina display", but that's not quite true.

The reported tablet will have an 11.6" screen running at a huge 2560x1600 resolution. Although, that adds up to 260 pixels per inch, which is very good, but not quite up to the definition of a "retina display". Still, it sounds pretty amazing. The tablet will have a 16:10 aspect ratio, and reportedly will not be just "barely larger" than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, because Samsung is using a smaller bezel for this tablet.

The tablet is also said to be packing the new Samsung Exynos 5250 CPU, which is dual-core and clocked to 2 GHz. And, surprisingly the tablet may also feature an NFC chip to take advantage of the new Android Beam feature of Ice Cream Sandwich (which puts this tablet on the top of the list for any potential Galaxy Nexus users.) Lastly, the tab is said to have a wireless docking feature for gaming or running media through an HDTV.

And Apple just had its appeal dismissed against Samsung releasing its 10.1 tab in Australia, so looks like its gonna be awesome getting one of these legit in Australia next year!!

i hope the speed of it is not true ! if it want to compete with ipad 3 it have to be quad-core ! :S

That is exciting! As long as they release soon enough.

It is getting pretty common for these devices to get outdated or at least shadowed by newer devices due to the big delay on their release.

Like the new Toshiba Tablet that looked good until Asus released the Prime with much better specs, even before Toshiba.

Asus, you are doin' it right.

LeTs see what certain individuals that just said 7" is perfect say about this. I bet this is revolutionary and perfect as well. It's like you guys are puppets and android is pulling the strings. Whatever is put out you love regardless.

That is just hypocritical non-sense (if you are an i$heep, of course).

If these certain individuals said that 7" tablets are perfect they already considered the 10.1" ANDROIDS not perfect.

I have no idea what people like you have against options...

I have no problem with options it's just funny how on here options are only good if android is providing them.

15. Dmann posted on 08 Dec 2011, 16:57

Well, what options do you provide?

17. protozeloz posted on 08 Dec 2011, 16:59

And what makes you say that?

20. antifanboy posted on 08 Dec 2011, 17:04 2

There's a lot of posters on here that are pro android and hate everything Apple. I'm sure you see that.

24. protozeloz posted on 08 Dec 2011, 17:15 5

So? Move to a pro apple site. Problem solved

There are also android haters in this site as well as samsung haters motorola haters HTC haters LG hater(thats me) what else does not need hate?

Now you mad because someone 2-10 people saud they like 7"? Or because other like big screens? Whats the problem with that?

I personaly like 4-4.3" for a phone but i wont go with small tabs because i like 10" on them. So if someone finds in android a comfortable tab that fits on a purse they cant like it because that would be a super fanboism? So even when android has big phones and small tabs it just find people who fits each on their life. Android just offer that to the user so I can go to a store and pick the phone with a huge screen and buy the small tab because they fit me. And my needs. Isnt it nice that i can find the OS I like on the size i think is best for me?

Ok that's fine, but why are Apple users bashed for preferring a smaller screen? Or windows and blackberry users as well. That's all I'm saying. Nobody gets hate on here like Apple

Well I dont get to see lots of bashing towards winmo but snowgator might be more aware of that than me.

Now if you read lots of news and polls from here quite a cupple of iOS fans would have liked an iPhone with a big screen. So they might not be fully happy with the size of the screen. The bashing apple is not nesesary tho.

Now bashing android fans because they bash apple? Arent you being the same as them? You dont like how the pigs smell and the solution is to jump on the pig pen. Wont you smell like the pigs? You can go for a baseless argument and prove people wrong. But desiding how everything is on android and how "false" fandroids are its simply hard. Because you will need to see every android phones that has being made and sold. Moto fans will have a story that samsung fans wont agree with. Its just like that.

An example is me as a fandroid i like samsumg motorola SE and HTC yet I hate LG and Dell they suck their phones suck and their service sucks. I also hate low end android phones They should not exist They cost more and give less in the long run. But i like android and even when i know some company sucks im happy to see when someone leaves a good feedback to an LG device i cant help but feeling like cheering him up. He is enjoying enjoing the OS i like even if it is on a company i dont like, when LG makes an improvement im happy because it means other companies can use it really soon.

Well if you are talking Android vs iOS then Android is the only one even providing options.

I still say 7" is perfect. I have access to 10" tablets too, but 7" is the one I use everyday.

4. squallz506 posted on 08 Dec 2011, 16:30 2 1

no quad-core? i like exynos but i think the tegra 3 might be a better chip.

7. Dmann posted on 08 Dec 2011, 16:38

Remixfa, come explain us which would be better.

10. antifanboy posted on 08 Dec 2011, 16:40 7
