UPDATE: DiGi has brought back the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 pre-order page online. Now it is offered from as low as RM1,399. The outright price has been revised as well to RM2,099. That’s RM400 more than the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. To pre-order, head over here.
Original Post: DiGi has finally revealed its Galaxy Tab 7.7 bundled pricing just as teased yesterday. At time of posting, the page is taken down but we are expecting them to put this back later today.
Outright, the 7.7″ tablet with Super AMOLED Plus display goes for RM2,299 which is the same price as its smart phone counterpart, the Galaxy Note.
For those that wish to go on contract, you have a choice of DG SmartPlan 48 and 68 with either 12 or 24 months duration. The contracted pricing are as follows:
DG Smart Plan 48 (12 months) –
RM1,899RM1,749
DG Smart Plan 48 (24 months) –RM1,749RM1,599DG Smart Plan 68 (12 months) –
RM1,799RM1,649
DG Smart Plan 68 (24 months) –RM1,549RM1,399
Note that these pricing are obtained via screenshots before the original Tab 7.7 page was taken down so there’s a small chance that it might be revised again later. Do check on DiGi’s Online Store later for the official figures. As usual, there’s also an upfront payment between RM50-RM500 required depending on plan and duration. Do expect other telcos to offer the Galaxy Tab 7.7 and we are looking at Celcom as the next player.
With Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab 7.7 both having the same price tag, which would you go for and why?
UPDATE: DiGi starts pre-order of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from RM1,399. RRP RM2,099. More details here.
Update: Word has is that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will very likely be available at selected Samsung Exclusive Partner stores this Friday. By very likely, we mean most definitely.
Heads up people, DiGi just dropped the bomb on Facebook. The operator will be revealing plans for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tomorrow. We don’t think physical units will be available tomorrow but if DiGi does what they always do, you can expect the Galaxy Tab 7.7 to be available on pre-order on DiGi Store Online. And if DiGi continues to do what we think they will do, you can expect to receive delivery of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 by Friday.
Earlier, Samsung revealed that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will retail for less than RM2,500. Our estimates put the device around the RM2.2k mark mainly because of the 7.7-inch 1280×800 Super AMOLED Plus display – possibly the largest Super AMOLED Plus display on a consumer device to date – which will be expensive to produce, so naturally, you can expect a premium for that display.
We’re expected other operators to start revealing plans for the device soon as well. Stay tuned!

Samsung Malaysia dropped another clue via Facebook on the launch of its Galaxy Tab 7.7 saying that it will be available in the country in around a couple of week or so. While that’s certain not a rock solid commitment on Samsung’s part, it does give us an indication on when the device will be launching in Malaysia.
Earlier, Samsung revealed that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will retail for less than RM2,500. Our estimates put the device around the RM2.2k mark mainly because of the 7.7-inch 1280×800 Super AMOLED Plus screen – possibly the largest Super AMOLED Plus display on a consumer device to date. Naturally, you can expect a premium for that display. Because the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is also essentially a mobile phone, you can expect operators to offer with plans for the device as well.
Just a little recap on specs if you are not already aware, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 packs a 1.4GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM (similar to that in the Galaxy Note) and runs on Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS (Samsung has confirmed that the 7.7 will be getting ICS later in the year). In terms of imaging, there’s a 3MP Autofocus camera with 720p video recording capabilities at the back and a 2MP front facing camera. There are three storage variants — 16GB/32GB/64GB – and all will have a MicroSD card slot that supports cards up to 32GB.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 comes with a generous 5,100mAh battery and weighs only 335g, which is 45g lighter than the original Galaxy Tab. When compared to the larger Galaxy Tab 10.1 (8.6mm thickness), the Galaxy 7.7 is thinner at 7.89mm.

Update: Samsung says the price for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will be less than RM2,500.
Samsung Malaysia in a reply to a question on Facebook has mentioned that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is slated to launch in Malaysia somewhere between late Jan to early Feb.
Details are still sketchy at the moment so don’t treat this as the final word from Samsung. In any case, many will just be happy to know that the Tab 7.7 is coming.
In terms of pricing, we can only guess at the moment but expect the device to go beyond the RM2k mark thanks to that 7.7-inch 1280×800 Super AMOLED Plus screen. It’s probably the largest Super AMOLED Plus display to date. So expect a premium on that but expect operators to come up with plans for the device as well.

When we told you that it is going to be a crazy final quarter, we weren’t joking. Just look at the number of devices that has been and will be launching in these last three months. You guys are really spoiled for choice across the board with a selection of devices from Samsung, Motorola, HTC and Sony Ericsson at various price points ranging from entry level to flagship. It sure is a good time to be a gadget junkie.
And the devices just keep on coming. Samsung has confirmed via its Facebook page that its full range of tablets will make it to Malaysia. You want the Galaxy Tab 8.9? It’s on sale in right now! Waiting for the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus? That’s coming too and according to Samsung it’s just a matter of weeks. How about the Galaxy Tab 7.7? No sweat, Samsung says that should be available before the end of the year.
Right now the full details (in final pricing and exact launch dates) of the Galaxy tab 7 Plus and the Galaxy Tab 7.7 are not available but we’re pretty sure things will start surfacing as we approach closer to launch day. Considering that both these devices can function as a phone, we’re expecting a telco tie-up to be on the cards.
In the meantime, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 is now selling for RM1,699 for the WiFi version and it brings everything you like in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 but in a more compact package.
Update: Twitter follower @najibhhh correctly pointed out that at RM1,699, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 is more expensive than the Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi which retails for RM1,499. Now, why would a smaller device with a smaller screen (which means it costs less) is more expensive is beyond us. Surely both the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 offer the same level of mobility. Would you pay extra for a smaller device with exactly the same features as the Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Update 2: We’ve gotten information from @betadotmy via Twitter that the RM1,699 price for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 is for the WiFi+3G version and not the WiFi only version as we earlier thought. Samsung Malaysia confirms this here. Still, if you’re wondering, the 3G+WiFi version doesn’t do voice calls (excluding third-party apps like Skype etc). However you can send and receive SMS and MMS. What is unconfirmed is that the WiFi version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 is also available and it retails for RM1,299. We’ll try to get more details on that.
Which one would you get?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 officially revealed

Exactly a year ago, the original Samsung Galaxy Tab created the first wave of Android tablets when it was launched on 2 September 2010. Now Samsung has revealed its worthy successor, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 which offers a slightly bigger screen at 7.7 inches and uses its top of the line Super AMOLED Plus.
Like the Samsung Galaxy Note, it packs a 1.4GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and runs on the latest Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS. In terms of imaging, there’s a 3MP Autofocus camera at the back and a 2MP front facing camera.
While the original Galaxy Tab was a perfect communication device with its ability to make calls and send SMS, Samsung has improved this aspect for the 7.7. According to the press release, there’s no need to bring a bluetooth headset for voice calls as it is possible to calls in public with “Receiver Mode”. We wonder how this works and if it can be used like a typical smart phone, that would be just great. From the official pics, it looks like a speaker at the top of the device which probably means you can make calls in typical smart phone manner.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 comes with a generous 5,100mAh battery and weighs only 335g, which is 45g lighter than its predecessor. When compared to its larger Galaxy Tab 10.1 (8.6mm thickness), it is even thinner at 7.89mm! Another plus point for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a microSD slot which lets you increase more storage up to 32GB. During the announcement, it is understood that there are 3 variants – 16GB/32GB/64GB.
No pricing and region availability were announced currently. Overall, the new Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a huge improvement over its predecessor and we’re curious to know how much will it go for in Malaysia. Previously when the original was launched locally, it was priced at a hefty RM2699. Now it goes outright for RM1599 and with a variety of telco bundling options. If Samsung price this right, they will have another hot seller in their hands.

Samsung has teased another Galaxy Tab product which will be unveiled next month at Berlin. While Samsung has both Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 in their lineup, the original 7 incher Tab that started it all is due for new update. So far no details have been revealed on the upcoming device.
Now Android Life has posted what seems to be the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 which has a similar sleek design as the Galaxy Tab 10.1. However upon close inspection, there are physical Android buttons which makes us wonder if it is running Honeycomb or perhaps Android 2.3. Who knows, it might be running on the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung introducing three new devices next month. More tablets and a new Bada phone

IFA is happening next month. That’s a tradeshow in Berlin that is akin to America CES and just like CES, Samsung is organising one of its specialty “Unpacked” events at IFA. While previously there were only teasers of what Samsung will unpack next month at IFA, some eager beavers have managed to extract some revealing information from the Samsung Unpacked teaser app developed for Android devices.
Inside the app, a tipster found three logos that suggest Samsung will launch three new products — two tablets and a Bada smartphone.
The two new tablets — the Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet and the Galaxy Note — is expected to run Honeycomb and obviously the Tab 7.7 will have a 7.7-inch screen and could be a possible replacement for the long running but still popular Galaxy Tab 7. The Galaxy Note on the other hand, is not as straight forward to decipher. We’re all assuming it will be a tablet (based on the name) but nothing much is known about the device — a tablet with a stylus perhaps?
Then there’s the Wave 3. Wave is Samsung brand of phone that runs its in-house developed OS called Bada. So this new Wave smartphone will most likely be running the latest edition of the Bada OS.
The specifications and form-factor of these devices are still unknown but Samsung urges users to update the app on September 1, which is when its grand unveiling is scheduled.
If you want to keep up with the latest developments about the Samsung Unpacked event, download the Samsung Mobile Unpacked app on your Android (Android Market link here) and Honeycomb (Android Market link here) device. There’s also one customised specifically for the the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Android Market link here)
