Samsung on Wednesday unveiled three new devices, the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, Galaxy Note 3 Phablet and Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) tablet. Samsung launched its new devices during a colourful Unpacked event at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin. It also held a simultaneous event in New York’s Times Square to broadcast the launch for reporters.
JK Shin, co-CEO and head of Samsung’s mobile business, said during the company’s event, “Our inspiration came from our customers, We listened to you. You said you wanted more options. You wanted to do more with your smartphone. You wanted a bigger screen and bigger input capabilities. The first Galaxy Note was just the beginning. Today we cross a new boundary by pushing higher.”
Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet edition is an upgrade of the Galaxy Tab 3. It is 7.9 mm thick, it is lighter, weighs 535g, and comes in 6 different colours with a 10.1 inch screen. The WQXGA LCD screen features a resolution of 2560×1600 Ultra HD which gives an impressive viewing experience. Samsung included a 1.9 GHz 8-core processor and 3GB of RAM. The rear-facing camera clocks in at 8MP, quite unusual for a tablet while the front is 2MP.
