Samsung has unveiled their first ever Android 4.0 tablet, the Galaxy Tab 2.

The 7-inch tablet (WSVGA display 1024x600 PLS TFT LCD) will run on a Samsung 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM. The tablet has a 3MP standard camera and a VGA camera up front.

Furthermore, the device will have standard HSPA+, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, A-GPS, a microSD slot and a larger-sized 4,000mAh battery all in a 10.5mm thin tablet.

The tablet will be available with 8, 16 or 32GB of internal storage.

Samsung has equipped the device with its own TouchWiz UI, including features like Live Panel, Samsung Apps support, Hub support, S Suggest, Kies Air, ChatON and Allshare Play.

Says JK Shin, President of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics: "Two years ago, Samsung GALAXY Tab began to offer customers more possibilities on the go. Since then, Samsung has actively enhanced our tablet line-up with several tablets in different sizes. The new GALAXY Tab 2 (7.0) will provide people with delighted multimedia experience and allow efficient communication."

The device goes on sale next month worldwide, starting in the UK. Pricing details were not revealed but will be soon.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
