Samsung, the biggest successor of newly launched Android Ice Cream Sandwich powered the Galaxy Nexus handset, now has announced its fresh tablet called the Galaxy Tab 7.0N Plus.
Samsung has slightly redesigned version of its Android-powered Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet to sidestep the European courts' ban on its shipment in Germany. Earlier the court ordered that the Galaxy Tab lineup design is too close to that of the Apple iPad and banned their sales, so Samsung had to alter them before it could reintroduce them to the German market.
The new Galaxy Tab 7.0N Plus is a response to Apple's injunction and will use a slightly new design for the 7-inch Honeycomb tablet. The updated design features a more prominent edge that wraps around the tablet and is visible from the front, which is exactly the same treatment that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 got when the 10.1N was released.
The major design difference is the stereo speakers mounted at the front of the device. It still features the 7" PLS-LCD display of WSVGA (1024 x 600) resolution, 345g weight, Android 3.2 Honeycomb (with ICS coming later on) and the GSM/HSPA combo for true phone capabilities.
The new tablet has a 345g weight and offers several rich specs like a 7-inch PLS-LCD touch screen with 1024 x 600 pixels display resolution, 16GB pre-installed data storage capacity, GPS, GSM and HSPA, Bluetooth 3.0, and 4000mAh battery.
It will run on Honeycomb 3.2 version but the company said that the tablet will receive latest Android ICS 4.0 update soon after release.
The new 7.0N Plus tablet is expected to go on sale this month for approximately 600 EUR ($770) and will be available in either white or silver.
