New 9-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab model reportedly in the works

Official announcement expected at the CTIA phone show later this month

Allen Ngo, Published 03/02/2011

Currently, Samsung offers the 7-inch Galaxy Tab in the United States for around $599 with a 2-year cellular contract and a 10.1-inch variant to be released within the coming months. According to Electronista, however, Samsung could be working on yet another Galaxy Tab model, this time in a screen size between that of the two other versions. The claim is based on a teaser image Samsung Mobile officially released, which hints at a possible new tablet. The supposed 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab should be unveiled at the CTIA phone show in New Orleans on March 22^nd.

Specifications are not yet known, but it is safe to assume that the hardware would be similar to the other Galaxy Tab members, such as having an Nvidia Tegra 2 APU, 3G or 4G connectivity and possibly Android 3.0. More info on the tablet will come later this month as the CTIA phone expo nears.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
