As part of its customer reward program, Samsung is offering a 6 months free subscription to the Star ePaper edition to Galaxy Tab owners.
If you’re using a legit Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9, Tab 7.7, Tab 7.0 Plus or the original Galaxy Tab then you’re in entitled to redeem your free ePaper. All you have to do is hit “Like” on this Facebook page right here.
Samsung is doing rather well with this customer loyalty thing. Previously the leading smartphone brand in Malaysia offered Samsung Galaxy owners free tickets to some of the biggest gigs in the country, with this latest offer it shows that Samsung is looking out for its older consumer segment as well.
Kudos where kudos is due Samsung.

Looks like Celcom has added another plan offering for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. Apart from the usual Celcom Exec 50 + bolt on data, they have now introduced a new Broadband Basic + Pay Per Use plan which costs RM68/month. This is similar to what DG Smart Plan is offering with data being bundled first and voice/sms usage are being charged as additional usage, making it perfect for those that rarely make calls.
On this new Broadband Basic, you’ll get a generous serving of 4GB data while calls are charged at 15sen/min and SMS at 10sen each. In terms of contract price, it is higher than the previous plans at RM1388 for 12 months and RM1328 for 24 months. For just mere RM60 difference, you might as well go for the shorter 12 months period instead. The upfront payment for this Broadband Basic + Pay Per Use plan is RM150 which will be rebated back over 10 months period.
For more information, head over to Celcom’s website.

Sample Pictures and Video: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

We’ve compiled some samples pictures and a video taken using the camera on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. With “only” 3.2MP, it’s easy to assume that the Galaxy Tab 7.0 will find it hard to compete with the impressive 8MP phones like the Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note and the iPhone 4S but take a look at the collection of images after the jump, you’ll be impressed as to how well the camera on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus performs.
Details are pin sharp, colour reproduction is accurate and contrast management is good as well. Overall, we’re mightily impressed at the pictures and video the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is capable of producing.
All Samsung Galaxy Tabs have 3.2MP cameras (with the exception of the Galaxy Tab 10.1v which has an 8MP sensor. The device is not available here) and we’re not sure if Samsung has done anything to the one on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus but from our real life tests, it looks like the 7-incher has the best sub-8MP camera in the market today. If fact, aside from the loss in detail due to the small MP count, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus can hold its own even when pitted against the Samsung Galaxy Note — one of the best smartphone cameras in the market right now.
Take a look at the pictures and video after the jump and tell us what you think.

If the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is slightly too big for your liking, Samsung has announced the new Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. At first, the “Plus” moniker does seem like a facelift as seen on the Galaxy S Plus. However this isn’t just an improvement of the old tablet but rather an all new 7″ model.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus runs on a dual core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and comes with a choice of 16GB/32GB versions. Storage expansion is possible with microSD up to 32GB. Like the original Samsung Galaxy Tab, the display is rather similar with its WSVGA LCD which supports 1024×600.
New on the Tab 7.0 Plus is the usage of PLS (Plane to Line Switching) LCD which offers better viewing angles and brightness. There’s a 3MP camera with assisted LED flash at the back and a 2MP camera at the front. In terms of OS, it is running the latest Android Honeycomb 3.2. Like the Galaxy Tab 7.7, the 7.0 Plus is able to make voice and video calls without needing a bluetooth headset.
Since this is an all new design, the Tab 7.0 Plus is thinner and lighter than the model it replaces at 345g with a thickness of 9.96m. As comparison, the original Galaxy Tab was 380g and 11.98mm. Despite the weight reduction, the Tap 7.0 Plus has a similar battery capacity of 4,000mAh.
With the 7.0 Plus and 7.7 put side by side, the 7.0 Plus should be relatively cheaper with its lower spec screen (PLS LCD vs Super AMOLED Plus). It is also interesting to note that the 7.7 is even lighter at 335g and it has a higher capacity battery of 5,100mAh. You can view the full specification of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus here.
Personally we find 7″ as an optimal size for on the go tablet for day to day use. Let’s hope Samsung will bring this to Malaysia soon with an attractive price tag.
