The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is an Android-based tablet computer designed and manufactured by Samsung, introduced on 22 March 2011 at CTIA wireless convention in its Samsung Unpacked event in Orlando. It is part of the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, and features an 8.9-inch display and a 1 GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
Coinciding with Samsung's reintroduction of the new, slimmer 10.1" model at the Samsung Unpacked Event during CTIA Wireless convention in March 2011, it also released a new 8.9" model which packed with the same design, dimension and specs with the only difference in the screen size and was released on 2 October.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 runs Android 3.1 Honeycomb. with a custom TouchWiz overlay.
Samsung has now given users in Italy, UK, and United States the Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, at various points in August 2012.
Samsung has begun rolling out an over-the-air update to the new TouchWiz UX interface, which will consist of:
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 feature a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB RAM, and a 3-axis MPU-3050 gyroscope from InvenSense.
As with all Honeycomb tablets, the number of buttons has been reduced: The usual Home, Menu, Back, and Search buttons, which are present in most Android devices, are embedded in the notification and menu bar. The only physical buttons are Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 include stereo speakers, one on each side, and related 10.1 on the bottom.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 retains the Samsung PDMI-like proprietary interface connector, which is used for both charging and data transfer. There is a keyboard dock for the 8.9 using a separate detachable dock slot (also compatible with the 10.1 without the need for connector).
All models will be shipped with a 2 MP front-facing camera and has a 3 MP rear camera, due to volume reduction in the new models.
It also supports 4G connectivity and dual Wi-Fi a/b/g/n antennas, which can operate at 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies.
A USB host adapter was made available in June 2011. The dongle plugs into the 30-pin dock connector and allows USB compatible accessories such as keyboards, mice, and thumb drives, to be connected to the tablet.
