The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is an Android-based tablet computer designed and manufactured by Samsung, introduced in 2011. It is part of the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, and features a 10.1-inch display and a 1 GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
Samsung first showed a new Galaxy Tab model in January 2011 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona alongside the Samsung Galaxy S II. The original model features a bigger 10.1" HD display with a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 SoC, running Google's Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system, and was to be released in partnership with Vodafone. It was set for a US release in March 2011 and a European release in April. However, after the iPad 2 release, some specifications were described as "inadequate" by Lee Don-Joo, Samsung's CEO, pointing to a possible model review or a rethink of their market strategy.
This led to introducing a new, slimmer model at the Samsung Unpacked Event during CTIA Wireless convention in March 2011, and an 8.9" model, pushing the release date back to 8 June for the US and "early summer" for the latter. The already produced larger 10.1 units were renamed the 10.1v and sold exclusively through Vodafone in Europe, Australia, and South Africa.
At Google I/O 2011, during the Android Keynote, Hugo Barra introduced the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the public, announcing that Samsung would give one to every attendee, estimated at 5,000 units. This version is labeled as the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition". It sports a white Android-themed back cover, Android Debug Bridge, Fastboot, and a 7000 mAh (Milliamp Hour) battery. The rest of specifications are in line with the 32 GB version of the Galaxy Tab.
