Samsung Announces Galaxy Tab 8.9&10.1; Revised edition is smaller than iPad2

Last month at Mobile World Congress Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 10.1, a NVIDIA Tegra 2 based Honeycomb tablet. Since then, Apple's iPad 2 raised the bar for ergonomics and performance. Not wanting to be outdone, Samsung just announced a redesigned Galaxy Tab 10.1 that's both thinner and lighter than Apple's iPad 2.
The new Galaxy Tab 10.1 measures only 8.6mm thick and weighs 595 grams. The iPad 2 by comparison is 8.8mm thick and weighs 601 grams. The display is a Xoom-like 1280x800 using Samsung's PLS display technology.

Might pick one of these up depending on if their bootloaders aren't signed by Samsung like one of the updates for the original Tabs

Wow, if this had GPS it would have been the best tablet for me oh well

I've seen no mention of it for either one.
And apparently there'll be an iPad-esque adapter for USB host capabilities.
It's a bit disappointing that they don't just put the proper ports on the tablet itself.
Plus, why limit us to microSD cards?
When you're getting up to these sorts of size, I'm sure manufacturers could stretch to a full SDHC slot.

Its great man tablet with gps.

If I had an extra 500 dollars to spend, I would seriously get one of these.

Well I don't think David Bailey's got much to worry about. This blurry pic was sent to Know Your Mobile, and the tipster claims it's the Samsung Galaxy S3. They also claim the handset will feature a 4.8-inch screen. It's pretty hard to tell, with a picture of this quality, but let's look at the evidence.
The source says there are no hardware buttons on the device, though the same source previously sent the same site a pic showing buttons apparently Photoshopped in. The screen size claims are also dubious. The source says it measures up at 4.8-inches, but over at Pocketnow they've gone all mathematical on us: busting out Pythagoras' theorem, they calculate the screen measures 4.74-inches. Previous claims peg the screen at anywhere between 4.65-and 4.8-inches. So while this could be the genuine article, it's far from conclusive.
Not long to wait now until we know for sure. Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S3 on Wednesday evening at an event in London. Recently the manual leaked -- if that was genuine, we're looking at a 4.8-inch screen and 8-megapixel camera. Though then yesterday a version of the same handset but running Windows Phone 8 was touted, and the source there claimed the S3 will have a 4.7-inch screen and 12-megapixel snapper. So it's anyone's guess really.
As I say, not long to wait now. It should be a top handset, following up on the S2, one of the best phones of last year. My bet? A 4.7-inch screen and 8-megapixel camera. Source : Cnet

outlined in red ( phots not that great but you can see the mark that doesn't move regardless of whats on screen) - highly irritating now i know its there, my eyes are drawn to it. would this be a RMA job?

Yeah, its kind of tough when it's near the middle of the screen like that. It really depends on how much it bothers you. Mine just came in the mail an hour ago and after playing around a little, noticed 1 small dead pixel on bottom right of screen. It's kind of gray, not black. But I'm not really noticing it, I have to really look for it and even then it's hard to see. My phone is otherwise perfect - no vibration issues, power button is solid, etc. I think I'll just keep it.

I have a speck of something in almost exactly the same place. RMA won't be shipped until December 3. Hope the replacement doesn't have this issue.

its a dead pixel, mate
Its dead pixels. I had two of this massive dead pixels on my iphone 5 and the apple genius guys replaced it with a new one.
You should definately RMA it and get it replaced. I was planning to buy a nexus 5 myself but have been getting negative feedback on the speaker quality and the dead pixels issue hence I think I will either wait for the LG G2 Mini or something else.

IR blaster?

I have seen some articles saying there was no ir blaster on the S7. Is this true?
From the pics I've seen, it looks like it is there... But I can't find it on the spec list.
Thanks

No IR

A review I read yesterday said this is the IRBlaster. Not sure if it was right but it looks in the right position and if it isn't the IRBlaster, what else could it be? A microphone? Perhaps, but I'm not sure why. Anyway, I wouldn't write off infrared just yet unless it's been confirmed by Samsung as definitely not having it.

@Beefheart
thats the second microphone, since many years back most phones does have dual mics...

Solution for IR removal
About the missing IR blaster, I have a solution for that.
It's a Kickstarter campaign soon to be launch,
We will support also the S7, and then you will have the IR blaster on S7. That way you will enjoy the wonderful S7 and still have IR in your smartphone.
You can check it out here:
eyekickstarter.com

It's been removed since the Note5 / s6 edge plus. In reality it's a pretty obsolete technology, but wouldn't have minded if it stuck around.

Far from obsolete.. Samsung still ship their new 4k curved TVs with infra-red technology as do all TV manufactures. Air-con and home theatre systems use IR too. This is just to cut costs.

It really shouldn't be a deal breaker for anyone, unless of course you lose your remote control all the time..

No Infrared in S7
It is a shame that samsung has not included IR Blaster in Samsung S7 because the phone of this caliber and price should be well equipped with all advanced features.

great for switching channels during football match in pub.??

First Look of the Galaxy Note 8

Looks like, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be VERY similar to the Galaxy S8. Samsung isn't taking big chances. First photos show dual cameras at the back! Eldar Murtazin posted this!
Front looks exactly like the S8.

The sensor will likely be built into the front display as they wanted to do with the s8, just couldn't figure it out in time. But I have my doubts that it's a note prototype because looking at the front and back view, I see no stylus. Dual camera would be nice though :good:

Would be sweet if they get that working

This is just a prototype of the galaxy S8 with dual cameras, it was leaked long ago.

^^^^^^
This. And the other leak of a supposed Note8 was false because the S Pen accompanying it was too long and thick to fit in what would be the size of the silo of the phone shown. Pure guess but the "upgrade" for the Note8 will most likely be 4K display, dual camera, 6GB of RAM, display-embedded touch sensor, and a return to 16:9 to accommodate the S Pen silo. Oh, and working Bixby.

Note 8 video sounds/seems potentially pretty awesome! here
