 "8-inch and 10.1-inch variants added to Galaxy Tab 3 line-up")
After having unveiled a 7-inch tablet in its Galaxy Tab 3 line-up back in April , Samsung has expanded the line-up with two new tablets—an 8-inch tablet and a 10.1-inch tablet. The tablets are expected to hit store shelves this month.
The 8-inch Galaxy Tab 3 is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 1.5GB of RAM, giving it the horsepower it will need to pull off multitasking. It has an 8-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, giving it a pixel density of 189 ppi. It comes with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box. On the back of the tablet is a 5 megapixel camera and the front has a 1.3 megapixel shooter.

The 8-inch tablet comes in two variants in terms of memory—16GB and 32GB—and both variants have a microSD slot that supports cards with up to 64GB capacity. All of this is kept alive by a 4,450 mAh battery.
The 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 3 is powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core processor, which when coupled with 1GB of RAM, can pull off multitasking. Just make sure to stay away from running more than one resource-intensive app. The 10.1-inch TFT display has a resolution of 1280 x 800, which gives it a pixel density of 149 ppi.
Like the 8-inch version, the 10.1-inch tablet too comes in two variants—16GB and 32GB—and both variants have a microSD slot that supports cards up to 64GB. The 10.1-inch tablet is kept alive by a 6,800 mAh battery.

For connectivity, both tablets can use Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth 4.0. The 3G versions of the tablets can, as the name implies, connect to a 3G service through the SIM card slot. Depending on your country, the tablet is also capable of accessing LTE networks. Wired connectivity is possible through a USB 2.0 port. The tablet also has GPS with GLONASS support.
Like almost every other Samsung product these days, both versions of the Tab 3 come with the company’s TouchWiz Nature UX, bringing with it all of Samsung’s pre-installed apps, including Samsung Hub and ChatOn. It also comes with Google’s own host of pre-installed apps, including the Play Store, Google Talk and Google Maps among others.
Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end. We do manage to find some insight in his insane ramblings though, and through his moronic facade, he does seem to know more than he lets on. Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
