What appears to be leaked firmware for the European version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab may have shed some light on the specifications of the upcoming device (or just caused confusion). Firmware P1000XXJH3 for the P1000 Galaxy Tab suggests the following specifications:
- Processor: 1GHz S5PC110
- Operating system: Google Android 2.2
- Other connectivity: GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- Display: 7-inch 480 by 800 display
- Input: Swype software keyboard
- Camera: Back-facing 3.1MP camera with flash / QVGA front-facing webcam
These specifications don’t line up with previous rumours. There is also some debate about the resolution of the display though as the firmware’s device.xml file suggests a 1024 by 600 display.
A Samsung announcement is expected in early September so the dust should settle soon.
