Samsung will use Intel Atom processor in its upcoming 10 inch tablet

Intel is finally getting hold of the mobile device processor market. The new customer for Intel Atom processor is, none other than worlds biggest smartphone maker known to us as Samsung.

According to the latest benchmarks utility, Samsung is using the Intel Atom Z2560 Clover Trail+ dual-core processor for its new 10-inch tablet

The device model number is GT-P5200, the tablet has been code-named Santos, the same codename which was associated with Samsung’s rumoured 10-inch tablet.

The benchmark listing also reveals the processor will be running at 1.6GHz and will come with PowerVR SGX 544 MP2 GPU. Other features of the tablet will include 10.1-inch WXGA (1280×800) display and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

Apart from the GT-P5200 listing, a benchmark listing for GT-P5210 has also been release which suggests a Wi-Fi only version of the tablet.The device in the benchmarks table has Android 4.2.2 running which suggests us that this device may run on the latest version of Android with Touchwiz (Samsung proprietary UI)

Some main details were not confirmed in these benchmark listings but a previous report had suggested that this tablet will come with 5MP rear camera and 16/ 32GB of internal storage.

Apart from the obvious tablet details leak, the presence of an Intel Atom processor in Samsung’s Android tablet . Intel has been struggling to get bigger manufacturers use their processor instead of those manufactured by ARM holdings. Things are beginning to change for Intel as many manufacturers like Asus use Atom processor in Fonepad and now Samsung.We hope that Intel has the potential and the infrastructure to be a major producer of mobile device processors.

Samsung Galaxy tab 3 - AndroidNova.org

Aha !! as the title seems to be questioning same is my thinking……

Samsung recently announced its new TAB named to be SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 3 P3200(cellular) / 3210(WiFi), but you will know why it doesn’t seem to be so new as you,me and the whole of the world would have expected it to be.

Here is why:

WHAT’S NEW?
-NEW DESIGN
-A FRONT FACING CAMERA
-Android JB out of the BOX

WHAT’S OLD?
-EVERYTHING else…

Yes, you guys read it correct, everything else is old with the NEW Galaxy Tab 3.

This is almost same but just li’l bit more i.e just 200mhz more of cpu.
-1.2 Ghz dual core processor.
Though we yet don’t know about which SOC it may possess.

The same old non classy, non modern screen res!
-1024×600 for a new generation tablet. Damn Sammy thats just low profile….with a ppi of just 170 which is not at all an improvement from the older TAB 2.

The same old camera
-3.15 megapixels but just small addition kinda useful though is, this time its an AUTO-FOCUS camera.

The same old ram the same old storage.
-1gb RAM, 8/16GB internal storage

So just adding a new design, an auto-focus camera and a front facing camera makes it deserving to be named TAB 3? HELL NO!

In a time where HD / FULL HD screens are the trend, an era where quad core processors have become common everywhere. “Samsung, y u so old fashioned??”

Anyways the device as far as the specs are concerned, as far as we know about it, it doesn’t seem to be a valuable upgrade over TAB 2.

Stay tuned with AndroidNova because we ain’t gods here, there are very high chances that the specification we’ve learned may be wrong. So TAB 2 users u don’t need to be envy of the TAB 3 because, i tell you guys!… it ain’t no shit better than yours

ASUS INC

Whatever Asus does it does it in style. Asus the Taiwanese Electronic giant is back with a bang. So what the Asus is going to release in what we call a revolutionary in the field of the display as well as the tablet technology. We all know how the ‘youm‘ display from Samsung caught the eyes of the tech enthusiasts . Though Youm failed to enter the market as a finished product. Asus recently posted the Computex 2013 teaser video . The video showed what new products Asus would launch this year.

First of all what caught my attention is the dual sided display hybrid tab from Asus (That’s a long inherited category) . The tab is a like a normal laptop with keyboard but when screen button is pressed the display from other side gets activated .Then the screen could be detached to use it like a tab. Pretty cool isn’t it? It basically reminded me of cool tab that Robert Downey Jr used in Iron Man. One could clearly see that its a Windows device (Windows 8 OS) though we expected an Android device(like the previous Transformer). Specs about the tab are yet to be reveled, but still that cool tab is buzzing all around the internet.

Tab with Stylus

Sketch on Tab with Stylus

Another tab that was showcased in the trailer was the 7 incher tab with a stylus. Yes a tab with a stylus (Now that’s what I call competing to Samsung). It seems to be an Android device. Yet again the specs will be revealed on Asus Comptutex June 2013. So waiting for it is the only option for us. Lets see if Asus could makes some ripple in the sea after the mega storm of Google IO 2013(AndroidNova will provide live coverage towards Google IO).

Here is the teaser trailer released by Asus about Computex. Hope you would love it.

Samsung will launch two Galaxy ‘Mega’ smartphones this year

Our friendly blog SamMobile is reporting that Samsung is planning to launch two ‘Galaxy Mega’ smartphones this year. Apparently the Korean manufacturer has decided to name its upcoming giant-screen phone as Galaxy Mega, which will join company’s Note-series in the battle for phablets.

According to the report, Samsung will introduce 5.8-inch and 6.3-inch display phones in this Mega series and the 5.8-inch GT-9152 is likely to support dual-SIM connectivity (Duos Branding). There seems to be no information about 6.3-inch GT-I9200 dual-SIM version.

SamMobile adds that Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 will be sold in white colour and will be available around (May 27 – June 2), while Galaxy Mega 6.3 will come in both black and white colours around the week 25 (June 17- June 23).

Samsung successfully started and accomplished their sales by introducing the trend of super-large screen smartphones with original Galaxy Note, which was later joined by Galaxy Note II and Galaxy Grand and now the company seems to be taking it to a new level. It remains to be seen whether consumers will indeed be interested in smartphone with a display as large as 6.3-inches.We don’t know how much is Samsung going to stretch the Display sizes on its device.We hope so apparel/garment manufacturers make the shirt/ pants pockets big enough, so that our 6.8 inch phablet can easily fit in them,without causing much discomfort to its users.

Have a nice day
