Samsung acaba de reforzar su línea de tablets de gama media con la presentación del Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 y el Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. Ambos mantienen un look&feeel similar al de los smartphones Galaxy con la inclusión de un botón home, clásico en la marca.

Ambos modelos varían un poco en sus prestaciones. Para la versión de 8 pulgadas, podemos tenemos una resolución 1280 x 800, un procesador de 1,5 GHz de doble núcleo, 1,5 GB de RAM, variantes de 16 GB y 32 GB de memoria interna (se pueden ampliar además con una tarjeta microSD), versión solo WiFi o con datos (LTE), una cámara de 5 megapíxeles en la parte trasera, un sensor de 1,3 megapíxeles en la parte delantera, una batería 4450 mAh entre otras cosas. Vendrá con Android 4.2.2 y como de costumbre, la personalización de Samsung.

Con  el modelo de 10.1 pulgadas encontramos un chip de doble núcleo a 1,6 GHz, la misma resolución de 1280 x 800, 1 GB de RAM, 16 o 32 GB de memoria interna con ranura para tarjeta microSD, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, 3G y soporte LTE, una cámara trasera de 3 megapíxeles, una cámara frontal de 1,3 megapíxeles. Una vez más, Android 4.2.2 con personalización de Samsung.

Sobre el papel el modelo de 10,1 pulgadas es algo inferior a su hermano de 8 pero hay que recordar la línea de Galaxy Tab 3 está llamada a ser asequible en cuanto a precio. Samsung probablemente tuvo que recortar algo en el hardware para mantener los precios. Ahora nos falta poder tenerlo entre nuestras manos para juzgar más personalmente cada modelo.

Aquí tenéis la nota de prensa al completo:
