Samsung unveils 7.7in Tab and 5.3in smartphone

[Simon]

Samsung has taken the wraps off two additions to its mobile range - the Galaxy Tab 7.7 and the 5.3in Galaxy Note smartphone.

The company announced the gadgets at the IFA 2011 event in Germany at a time when manufacturers are trying to find the ideal form factor for mobile communications.

The two devices released are a smaller-than-average tablet and a larger than average phone.

Packing a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and Google's Android 3.2 operating system into a chassis which measure just 7.89mm thick, Samsung says the Galaxy Tab 7.7 weighs in at only 335g and is capable of fitting in a jacket pocket.

It's also the first in Samsung's tablet range to have a 1,280 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display, the same technology used in the company's award-winning Galaxy SII smartphone.

It comes in a complementary back pack.
