The latest model of the tablet offering of the South Korean device manufacturer was finally unveiled, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.

The seven-inch tablet has similar specs as the current model of the tablet although its processor has been boosted from the 1.0GHz for the Galaxy Tab 2 to a dual-core 1.2GHz processor for the upcoming model of the tablet. The upcoming model is also available in an 8GB or 16GB variant and offers a bigger external storage capability with 64GB through a microSD memory card slot.

Although the 1024 by 600 display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is not quite impressive, t is capable of supporting full HD 1080p video playback. In comparison, the resolution of the Google Nexus 7 is at 1280 by 800.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is also shorter compared to the current model at 7.4 inches compared to the 7.63-inch length of the Galaxy Tab 2.  It is also lighter, thinner, and narrower compared to the current model of the tablet.

The release of the seven-inch tablet will allow the company to compete directly with other similarly-sized tablets in the market from Google, Apple, and Amazon.

The upcoming model of the tablet offering from Samsung will also offer a three-megapixel rear-facing camera coupled with a 1.3MP camera in front. The 3G model of the device will reportedly allow users to make calls due to the extra speaker and the proximity sensor found on this particular model of the device.

However, Samsung has not confirmed this capability for the moment although it will definitely become the biggest phablet that will be offered in the market if it is accurate.

For the moment, the price tag for the device is not yet certain although it may be possible for it to be comparable to the $200 price tag of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and the Google Nexus 7, which have better features compared to the upcoming device.

The Wi-Fi variant will become available in the market by May. The 3G version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is anticipated to enter the market by June.

Recent reports have hinted at the possibility that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 will feature models having a screen size of eight and ten inches.

Specifications were reportedly leaked recently showing three new tablet offerings from Samsung that will increase its already huge lineup of tablets. The upcoming variant of the Galaxy Tab may feature a 10.1-inch tablet and another similarly-sized tablet that is set to be promoted to the high-end market. The third tablet will reportedly have an 8-icnh screen display.

The display screens of two of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 models will supposedly feature a resolution of 1280 by 800. They will also come with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 3MP camera at the back, 1.3MP camera in front, and a microSD memory card slot. The devices will run on the Android 4.1 OS.

The 10.1-inch variant of the tablet will also feature a 1GB RAM as compared to the supposed 2GB RAM on the eight-inch model. The ten-inch model will also have an internal storage of 16GB although the storage capacity of the eight-inch model remains uncertain.

On the other hand, the resolution of the display screen on the high-end variant of the ten-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 will be at 2500 by 1600 pixels. It will also feature the 1.7GHz dual-core Exynos 5 processor of Samsung, 2GB RAM, the Mali-T694 GPU and an internal storage of 16GB. It will also offer users the opportunity to expand its storage through a microSD memory card.

Other features of this variant of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 include a 5MP camera at the back, 1.9MP camera in front and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. It will run using the Android 4.2 OS.

The high-end model of the tablet is expected to compete directly with the Google Nexus 10. The processor, display resolution, RAM, and GPU of the tablet is similar to those found on the Google tablet.

Since Samsung has yet to confirm the existence of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, these reports will remain speculations until proven otherwise.
