Samsung Almost Confirmed to Change Galaxy Note 10.1 Specs Ahead of Official Release

We already reported last week that Samsung postponed the Galaxy Note 10.1 for June. Although the company has yet to make anything official, sources in the industry claim that Samsung want to change the tablet’s specs before release.

As we mentioned in a previous article Samsung is likely to replace the dual-core Exynos processor clocked at 1.4 GHz, embedded onto the Galaxy Note 10.1 with an improved 1.5 GHz quad-core CPU. 

However, this doesn’t seem to be the only change that will affect the Galaxy Note 10.1. The folks over at The Verge claim that a company spokesperson confirmed that Samsung still had no release date for the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Moreover, Samsung’s rep also mentioned that the device unveiled at the Mobile World Congress back in February might be replaced with an entirely different device for marketing reasons.

It appears that the South Korean company simply wanted to impress Android enthusiasts with the announcement of the Galaxy Note 10.1, but it was totally unprepared for the competition’s new releases (see Apple’s new iPad).

According to the latest hearsay, Samsung had hoped to make the Galaxy Note 10.1 the main competitor for whatever tablet Apple would have launched.

Unfortunately, after the new iPad was officially announced it became clear that Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10.1 is inferior to Apple’s product when it comes to hardware.

This is probably the main reason why Samsung is still postponing the Galaxy Note 10.1 until it finds the right configuration and the right price tag.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 announced two months ago would be powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform. 

For the time being, it’s unclear whether Samsung plans to release more versions of the Galaxy Note 10.1, but there might be a 3G model and a Wi-Fi only model out on the market.
