Samsung Rolls 7’s With New Galaxy Tab Android Tablets in Hong Kong

The Big S tries it again with 2 new models of the Galaxy Tab.

Continuing the gambling metaphors it looks like Samsung Hong Kong has pulled a triple 7 with the release of their Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. Both tablets use Android 3.2 (Honeycomb); and while the devices have the same specifications in most areas, there are major differences between the two.

The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is powered by a 1.2 GHz Dual Core Processor; has a 7 inch Color PLS full touch display, and a 4000mAh battery.

Coming to Hong Kong next month, but we don’t know exactly.

Blackberry’s much touted Playbook will be making its way to Hong Kong sometime in “early” July and that’s as much information RIM Hong Kong was going to give us on a release date for their little tablet.
