It includes access to movies, music, TV shows, sports, books and educational content through Samsung’s dedicated app.
The Galaxy Tab 2 310 was the first Ice Cream Sandwich tablet from the Korean manufacturer. In our review last year , we found that the camera was the only sore point in this tablet. “Samsung has managed to get everything correct with the Tab 2 310, including the price tag. Currently, in this price bracket, there’s not much to compete against it, so if you’re looking forward to purchasing a portable 3G tablet under 20k, look no further than this one.”
Samsung’s next generation Galaxy tablets are expected to be launched at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in a couple of weeks’ time. The lineup is rumoured to have a 8-inch and 10.1-inch tablet. The company is also reportedly preparing another size variant in its Galaxy Note series. The Galaxy Note 8.0 will have an 8-inch screen and will slot in between the Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy Note 800, a 10.1-inch tablet, in the company’s lineup of Note devices. It is also expected to have physical buttons, run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and bring an improved S-Pen experience.
