Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) officially announced at MWC, 3.1 extra inches of Ice Cream Sandwich

[![][1] ][2]

We already saw Samsung's [ Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)][3] just over a week ago, and now the company has come clean with its 10.1-inch variant (along with a new [Galaxy Beam][4] smartphone). Aside from bumping up the screen resolution of its LCD to 1280 x 800, from 1024 x 600 on the 7.0, the 10.1 features the same 1Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, front and rear cameras (VGA and 3-megapixels, respectively) and 21Mbps HSPA+ connectivity if you opt for the 3G model instead of WiFi. The 10.1-incher notably comes equipped with a 7,000 mAh battery (up from 4,000 on the 7.0), which will hopefully ensure stamina that's similar to its [predecessor][5]. The slate is unsurprisingly loaded with TouchWiz-flavored [Ice Cream Sandwich][6], and will be offered in 16 and 32GB models (expandable by up to 32GB if you supply your own microSD card). There's no word on pricing just yet, but Sammy plans to start selling all 10.1-inches of this treat during March in the UK -- and you can bet we'll get our own in-person hands-on while we're traversing the show floor here at [MWC][7]. For now, you'll find full details about the slate in the press release after the break and press images in the gallery below.
