Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Android Tablet Price in the Philippines, Features, and Specs: The Galaxy Tab 2 is a recently unveiled budget tablet from Samsung. But what’s more interesting about it is that it is the first-ever Ice Cream Sandwich tablet computer to be announced. The company first launched the product at its European Forum in Prague. Its moniker signifies that it is the successor to the first ever Galaxy tablet, the Galaxy Tab, albeit being not necessarily the second device built subsequently after it. It was first announced on February 13 and is expected to be released within the first quarter of this year, at around March in the UK.

Design-wise, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 sports quite a different chassis to the original. The slab is a rounded silver black device in contrast to the white backed Galaxy Tab. It has a dimension of 193.7 x 122.4 x 10.5 mm and weighs 344 grams. It is chunkier than the other recent slates that Samsung has produced and heavier as well although certainly lighter than its predecessor. The rounded corners also make handling the Galaxy Tab 2 quite comfortable. The device contains a light sensor as well as a proximity sensor.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 sports a 7-inch Super PLS LCD screen that is decently great for browsing the web or flicking through applications. The pixel resolution is pegged at 1024 x 600 pixels and at 170-pixel per inch density. It is a capacitive multi-touch enabled display that is responsive enough. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 has a 3 MP fixed focus rear facing camera with geo-tagging capability, as well as a VGA camera on the front for video calling. The rear camera is also able to record videos at 1280 x 720 or 720p HD at 30 frames per second.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 connects using a UMTS of 850, 900, 1900, or 2100 MHz and encodes data using HSDPA+ (4G) at 21.1 Mbit/s. There is A-GPS support as well as GLONASS, and a navigation support as well. It has Bluetooth 3.0, and Wi-Fi connectivity at 802.11 b/g/n. There is also a proprietary connector that can make the tab a surrogate mass storage device, or conduct both computer and OTA sync.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is equipped with a dual core 1 GHz CPU, which packs a less advanced computing power than Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus at 1.2 GHz and Galaxy Tab 7.7 at 1.4 GHz. Still, it gives out a pretty decent performance, with no lag whatsoever through menus and during standard usage. It has 1024 MB worth of RAM and a built-in storage of up to 32 GB. There is a microSD / microSDHC card slot that handle up to 32 GB of memory.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 comes with an AllShare feature that makes it connect and work virtually everywhere as long as the device is linked to the service. Also, the device features a new hub called the Video Hub where, obviously, video contents can be accessed, and works to augment the Music and Game hub. There is also an app recommendation engine pre-installed. For multimedia services, there is a music player as well as a YouTube player. The Internet browser on the other hand supports HTML, HTML5, and Flash. There is built-in online service support like in YouTube for video uploads, as well as Picasa.

Other features of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 include an unlimited phonebook, organizer such as a calendar, alarm clock, document viewer, and calculator. Messaging can be in threaded view and has predictive text input, and email can be IMAP, POP3, SMTP, or through Microsoft Exchange.

Although expected to be quite a budget-friendly tablet, the price is yet to be announced. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is set to be released in the UK with 8GB, 16GB and 32GB variations.
