Difference between the current Galaxy tab and Galaxy Tab 2 series (10.1 and 7)

So what is new? Good question! While the hardware might not be a sizzler there are very few noticeable additions. Enter the microSD slot: One of the big grouse that people had earlier was lack of microSD support, with the galaxy tab 2 series, Samsung ports in an expandable upto 32 GB microSD slot. And yes, it would come pre-installed with the latest flavor of the Android, the Ice Cream Sandwich. Along with GPS, now the galaxy Tab 2 also supports Russia’s Glonass. So don’t like Uncle Sam’s GPS? You got an alternate now on your tab. And yes, the front camera has dwindled to a VGA from the earlier 2MB. Though it now enables you to shoot a  full HD video recording now from the previous 720 p.
