The Samsung<\/a> Galaxy Note 10.1, and new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 range of Android tablets PCs are set to launch in South Africa during Q2 2012, the Korean electronics giant recently told MyBroadband.<\/p>\n

Samsung confirmed the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 2 for South Africa during its Africa Forum event in Cape Town earlier this year, and has now confirmed that the 10-inch model of the new Galaxy Tab 2 range will also be launched here.<\/p>\n

Neither device has an estimated retail price yet.<\/p>\n

Although Samsung didn\u2019t share the expected pricing of its upcoming Galaxy Tab 2 range, it said that that it expected the Galaxy Note 10.1 to sell for around R8,849 in SA.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was revealed during February at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona as a larger version of the 5-inch phablet (phone\/tablet PC combo) launched last year, sporting an \u201cS-Pen\u201d that works on a capacitive touch screen.<\/p>\n

The Verge recently reported that Samsung shied away from revealing US release dates and pricing<\/a> for the Note 10.1. According to the report, a Samsung representative said that the device that goes on sale could differ from what was shown off at MWC.<\/p>\n

The table below summarises the confirmed specs of the devices to date:<\/p>\n
