Samsung Galaxy Tab J
Samsung has announced the Galaxy Tab J 7-inch tablet in Taiwan. The J letter itself is
quite revealing of the device's specs and market position - entry-level.
The tablet packs a 7-inch
PLS panel (Samsung's take on the IPS technology) with a resolution of 1,280 x
800 pixels for a pixel density of around 216ppi. Computing power comes from a
quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU inside an unspecified chipset, paired with a modest 1.5GB
of RAM. Storage is an equally unimpressive 8GB, but at least that's expandable
via microSD.
If you insist on taking
photos with a tablet, you can do it on the Galaxy Tab J with the 8MP rear
camera (fast f/1.9 aperture, too). On the front there's a 2MP selfie shooter.
The device measures 108.8
x 186.9 x 8.7 mm and weighs 289 grams with a 4,000 mAh battery inside. It doesn't
support Wi-Fi ac, just b/g/n, and Bluetooth is v4.0, but there is an FM radio
receiver on board, at least.
The Galaxy Tab J will be
available in Taiwan starting early next month, in white or gold paintjobs.
Price is set at TWD 5990 (US$ 185). There's no details on global pricing or
availability.
