There's the 10.1 the thin one
and the 8.9. A small thin one.

its not called galaxy tab 2.
Second :
the difference between the 10.1 and 8.9 is just size (physical and battery)
the difference between the 10.1 and 10.1v is more pronounced
What the 10.1 (and 8.9) has over the 10.1v
Pls display
MicroSD card reader
Thiner
Dual wi-fi antenna (10.1only)

As for the 10.1 versions, the confusion is caused by Samsung. The 10.1 v was announced at the CES, before the launch of the iPad 2. It was/is a tablet with almost the same dimensions as the Xoom (only a bit lighter, although very noticeable) .
The 10.1 was introduced at the Mobile Congress in Barcelona after the introduction of the iPad 2, and it was Samsungs answer to it. It was basically the predecessor (which wasn't launched by then) with the only difference that it was a lot smaller.
Somehow Samsung made the confusing decision to launch the unit the introduced at the CES, although they developed a successor before the introduction of it. Why? Maybe they had the production ready for the first version, don't know, but yes, very weird. Nevertheless as far as I know the 10.1v is exclusively sold by Vodafone and were released the previous week. The 10.1 will be released in June in the USA according to some blogs.
For the exact differences between 10.1 and the current 10.1v see post by k-dog
(As far as I know, the preproduction unit introduced at the CES also had a microsd slot etc. .. the way I see it, Samsung made a clever deal with Vodafone to dump their first units with little additional costs. But that is of course just an interpretation ...)

Samsung has us all confused with changing the 10.1.
My understanding is that Galaxy Tab 10.1 was first announced at Mobile Congress in Barcelona.
The new thin iPad 2 announced shortly after in March.
Samsung announced the "thin" Galaxy tab 10.1 March 24th at CTIA in Orlando along with the 8.9 version. Samsung wanted their tablet to be the thinnest. The original Galaxy Tab 10.1 became the 10.1v.
Release date for the USA for the 10.1 wifi only model is June 8th.
Here's the Samsung CTIA keynote address.

It would appear the 10.1v has dual wifi antenna also - I have one in front of me right now and it has the option of connecting to my 2.4ghz wifi router and my 5ghz 802.11n AP.
You are right. Samsungs site for the 10.1v does say it has dual antennas
Maybe the 8.9 also has it then.
cameras?
So I'm guessing the new 10.1 is better than 10.1v?
What's the difference in camera?
And what tablet would you guys recommend me to get?
Thanks
The 10.1 is "better" from the little we know now.
the camera on the 10.1 is a 3mp that can record in 1080p
But the 10.1v has the same 8mp as the galaxy s 2.
the camera is the only thing the 10.1v has over the 10.1
10.1 has micro SD card slot.

OH ****. Yup. The 8.9 has one, according to http://originus.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19833&gltype
I'm a little confused about why the 8.9 has one and the 10.1 doesn't.
10.1 does have MicroSD
Same with the 8.9
but the 10.1v does not
which is released
so the thicker one 10.1v is released?
and the slimmer tab is not yet released?
Yes
the 10.1v (thicker) is out in select markets
the 10.1 (slim) will be out in about a months time
There is one more unknown but potentially quite big difference between 10.1v and 10.1 - heart of the tablet.
While 10.1v runs with Tegra 2 inside (so if you want to watch movies on your new device it might prove difficult) the coming one 10.1 is described by Samsung as with " dual core 1Ghz processor inside".
We all here think (and some of us hope) that this "secrecy" means it will run with Exynos (Samsung's own design) inside. If so it would mean this would be more versatile device than Tegra 2 tablets and iPad 2 - true king of tabs.
Please be exynos please be exynos please be exynos

I can get the 10.1v today. Should I wait for the slimmer version? I live in Europe. Will the 10.1 also have an mini hdmi out or the same port as the SGSII?
Edit: Nevermind I just read all the issues with the 10.1v. Tbh I will wait for the slim version. Ports, SD slot and better screen are more important than a good camera.

That is exactly what I am doing and also why (if slim GT is not Exynos based) why it dose not make any sense to Samsung to hide this information if it is only Tegra CPU. Beside sd support some ppl. might have buy 10.1v if they knew 10.1 is not that much different.
Do I read things correctly that 10.1v is actually more expensive that 10.1?
Hey Guys,
As you know the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be released in the UK on the 4th of August. Samsung are holding an event in London with free drinks, music and the chance to win all sorts of cool stuff this Wednesday (the 3rd).
To get on the guestlist / find out a bit more go here: http://on.fb.me/prQ2wW
I'll be there if you want to meet up for a pint!
Also - a bunch of the mobilers have been given Galaxy Tabs if you want any of us to put a screwdriver to it
Dom
So if I bring my mine along can I get it updated to TouchWiz UX?
What's this 'Samsung Mobilers' thing people keep making mention of?
Help me clear this out, what was the first release of Samsung Galaxy Tab? Wasn't it 10.1? Coz I think mine is 10.1 and I got this way back March. How come it will only be released in your area this month?
Or am I completely wrong? 10.1 is actually the new Samsung Tab?
Does that mean I'm in the wrong forums?
*confused*

The P1000 that you're posting from is the original Galaxy Tab, which is a 7" tablet with a single-core CPU running Froyo/Gingerbread.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 (model number P7500, I think...) is a 10" dual-core tablet running Honeycomb.
does anyone know if they will have 32GB Wifi in black or even white, PC world expects to have it in stock on 11/8/11 and black 28/8/11 (OMG!!!)
I have the Note and I have a dilema of whether to buy the 7.7 tab. I want to buy it at Negri Electronics but have not pulled the trigger yet.
Here is my thought:
The 7.7 would just be like my Note except that it is bigger....that's it. Even though the 7.7 has OMLED plus, the smaller screen size of the Note would still make the pentile resolution great.
Now if I wait for the Tegra 3 in the 7" tablet, that would be something different. I know about the old saying of "if you wait you will not get anything..." but I believe that a 7" tablet Tegra 3 is within 2 months away.
If only the 7.7 have a better chip than the Note, I would not hesitate at all.
Decisions ... decisions...
Simple answer: Get what you want, when you want it, and enjoy it while you've got it!
at least 6-7 months before something like that is out... get a 7.7. now, switch it to something else at the end of 2012 when all the windows 8 tablets will be released
Yeah, I wanted the Asus 370T but they said it comes only in summer. (June).
So I decided to get the Galaxy Tab 7.7
Then I don't loose the SuperAmoled which I am used to from my Galaxy S.
But now I only have to wait till the 3G Version get available.

I wonder how well updated a 8.4 (possibly LTE) will get regular updates. I had a 7.7, that I thought was a "premium" device, and I lost it before I could even put ICS on it. It started to lag, and lag and lag as new apps were updated and used.
So what do you think? Would this face the same fate as the 7.7 tab or the 8.9 tab, or more like the original 10.1 tab (which I think it was adequate and more in line with what I expect from a device.
Any input is appreciated.
As underwhelming as Android updates have been since 4.1, I don't think it really matters anymore. My Moto X got updated from 4.3 to 4.4... I barely noticed.

The 7.7 was Verizon I think. Anything involving Verizon will be very slow on updates. They are the worst at approving manufacturer updates and pushing them out. HTC leaked a final 4.3 for my former DROID DNA 5 and it took Verizon 5 months to release it.

All Samsung's high-end tablets starting with the N10.1-14 are running the same h/w and screen resolution. That's got to make coding updates faster and easier as so much is shared between them.
I'm optimistic that it will be different from the Tab 7.7 for a couple reasons. As mentioned above, the hardware and screen resolution is nearly identical across multiple devices this time, where the 7.7 was the only tablet with its processor and screen resolution (the Note 1 and Tab 7 Plus were the closest two. A phone and another low selling sparsely available tablet). The international version was updated slowly, but far quicker than the Verizon LTE version. However, I think it didn't sell well at all, was expensive, and was banned from multiple countries before or after its rocky unveiling (remember Apple had the courts remove it from the stand at IFA?). It became the best product that Samsung couldn't sell and therefore had little incentive to support it.
Not that I'm trying to make excuses for Samsung not supporting it, just that I'm logically hopeful this time around.

I still have a 7.7 and it's on JB4.1.2.
It's smooth as... AND twice as quick.
I remember the lag on the Default ICS ROM and I was very disapointed. Especially as I had an S2 with less power but it's UI was silky smooth.
Fortunately the was a developer UpInTheAir who kept the device moving forward. His first ICS Sky High rom for the 7.7 was a god send.
And now, if it were not for the Pro 8.4 I'd still want to keep my 7.7 with the JB 4.1.2 release available.
The point however to take from your comments is that WITHOUT xda community the 7.7 I would have been very disappointed. It would have stayed the best screen/worst OS tablet/paperweight device available. As it is now with this ROM it is a better alternative than for Apple iPad Mini 1st Gen.
I hope that the 'Tab Pro' given it's 'Pro' status Samsung keeps with the updates. (Given I've just ordered one)
Welcome to the world of Samsung. You'll be lucky if you get more then 2 updates or a year of support. They're in the business of making a quick buck then dump their customers to desolation.
Got the iPad mini. Samsung scares me too much. If I was going for the 10.1, okay, but the 8.4 may turn out to be not popular enough and will be forgotten.
I have a Mini Retina. Sorry but there is no comparison to the 8.4 Pro. Sure the Mini has a nice aluminum back (which you need to immediately put into a case as it scratches super easy) and a slightly more robust battery but that's about it.
The Samsung wins everywhere it matters, battery notwithstanding.
I'll put the two side by side and take some pics of the screen. The Mini Retina is much dimmer (my biggest beef btw with the LG G Pad) than the Samsung irrespective of what brightness levels you set it at.
The other biggie is the Micro SD slot. The Tab Pro + a 64GB Micro SD card (80 GB total) is about $160 cheaper than a 64GB Mini Retina. Plus the accessories are much cheaper (mind you less selection of cases).
Now that Sandisk has released a 128GB Micro SD for $120 that equates to a 144GB tablet for $200 cheaper than the 128GB Mini Retina.
Plus if you are an avid reader, you cannot beat the reading apps on Android. The closest is Marvin for IOS and its still barely usable.
Just curious, is tab pro 8.4 capable of making phone calls? and i mean real phone calls like tab 7.7
Buy the LTE version and you can...
seriously? any article or anything to support your statement?
im very interested to get the 8.4 pro but i need it to be able to make phone calls also
thanks before

If you take a look at any reviews of LTE version then you can see Phone Application as well. And this fact is known, I' m waiting for the same thing...
hmm. so it's based on the picture of the phone application huh? okay2 ^^ thanks
Yeah i 'm also getting the LTE version to make phone calls
The reason the 7.7 didn't get a lot of support is due to it being banned in many countries so without them able to sell it they had no reason to keep it updated.

I ordered the 8.4 LTE from Hong Kong... it'll arrive in 10 days.
I use the 7.7 now as my phone. I'm expecting to use the 8.4 as my phone too.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE, Worth Upgrading?
Hi
Thanks for this topic.... above notes and comments. This has has been eating my brain for weeks....
I am also in this dilemma to, see actual comparison of two in terms of spec here:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/co...LTE,Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S-8.4/phones/6739,8663 (If im not allowed to add this, mods please remove link and keep post, thanks)
I wanted to know if it’s worth upgrading too or not, as I also used it for phone calls and video calls. I was wondering can the tab s 8.4 4G/LTE work in the same manner or are they different now? Also build quality on the Tab 7.7 is second to none. How does it compare to Tab S 8.4?
See that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 had the following available:
Tablet with support for GSM voice communication, SMS, and MMS
Does the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 have the same fate as the Tab 7.7. Meaning does it have the same capabilities of "Tablet with support for GSM voice communication, SMS, and MMS"
Does anyone know, if yes please advise. As I’m thinking of selling my tab 7.7 32gb Wi-Fi and 3G to purchase a tab s 8.4 WiFi & 4G/LTE…
Thanks
I was originally looking for a decent windows 10 tablet with keyboard, but the guy at Best Buy about talked me out of it. So that is still on the table if anyone can recommend an all around good one. But right now I'm torn between the Z10 and Tab A 10.1 because they both seem really good. I've read some post that say the Z10 is rootable and some say it isn't. What do you guys think about those two? Is the Samsung S2 9.6 worth $200 more? Are there any Windows 10 that are comparable to the two far as performance?
Thanks for any insight,
Jamie
