Samsung to announce 2 GHz Galaxy Tab 11.6 at Mobile World Congress

Samsung will unveil the next generation of the Galaxy Tab at MWC

The Tab will feature a dual-core 2 GHz Exynos 5250 processor and feature a display larger than 10 inches with a WXQGA (2560×1600) resolution. The device will run the latest Android 4.0 OS.

Samsung mentioned in their earnings call that they are sampling the Exynos 5250 SoC and would begin mass production for their devices from Q2 2012. The Exynos 5250 processor A15 chip clocks at 2GHz and would support WQXGA (2560×1600 pixels ) resolution display. Some sites are also reporting that it would come with a larger 11.6-inch display and S-pen support.

The Cortex-A15 and Mali-T604 would deliver better speed and 5x graphics with memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s and better power consumption(all day battery life).

They unveiled the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 at MWC 2011 that was available in April 2011. Even if the new tablet is announced at the MWC 2012, we can’t expect it till the end of Q2 or Q3 since they would start producing these chips in Q2 2012.

It would be interesting to see how Samsung gives the shape to Galaxy Tab 11.6 inches variants as whether they make it a revolutionary tablet or just a successor of Galaxy Tab!

Let’s wait for the MWC which begins February 28th in Barcelona to know more.
