Today, Samsung revealed the Galaxy Tab 3, a 7-inch tablet, a slim mobile device which may be able to directly compete with the smaller tablet ranges offered by rivals Apple and Google.
The South Korean electronics maker's latest tablet offering sports a 1024x600 pixel screen -- although perhaps underwhelming at today's standards -- but is able to support full 1080p HD playback. The Galaxy Tab 3 is powered by a dual-core 1.2Ghz processor, and is available with either 8GB or 16GB of storage and 1GB of RAM.

In addition, Samsung's new mobile device comes with a microSD slot for up to 64GB of additional storage space.
The tablet uses the latest Android operating system, 4.1 Jelly Bean. In addition, the 111.1 x 188 x 9.9mm tablet sports a 3-megapixel rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel front camera system. The Wi-Fi only version weighs 302g, whereas the Wi-Fi/3G model is a touch heavier at 306g.
Samsung's tablet will be available in Wi-Fi and 3G versions. According to the firm, the Wi-Fi enabled version will be available worldwide from next month, whereas the Wi-Fi/3G version will be hitting our shelves in June. Tablet availability will depend on individual markets and will be rolled out gradually.
Pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is yet to be released.
