Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus P6200 Philippines Price Php 23,990, Specs, Features, Availability

Putting Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 in a separate category, there are two new generation Android tablets from the Korean company that have GSM Phone functionalities - that is, you can use them to send text messages and make calls; Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800 is the more expensive of the two while Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus P6200 shown below is the more affordable 'hybrid':

While P6800 dons a price tag of a whopping Php 32,990, P6200 only costs Php 23,990. Sure, compared to the former, the latter doesn't have a brilliant SuperAMOLED Plus display, has a slightly smaller battery and is hardly metal-clad, but it nevertheless has an SRP budget-conscious consumers will surely find attractive.

And I don't know about you but I think it's also quite physically attractive as well.

What I find cool about Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is that although it can't really go shoulder to shoulder with P6800 in the looks department, its technical specifications are nevertheless similar to that of its more expensive sibling. The two share the same still and video camera, number of ports, connectivity options, and amount of RAM. Heck, the two even have almost similar CPU.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 has been available in the Philippines since December 2011. I believe there are some authorized retailers that bundle freebies with the tablet like headsets or pouches so make sure you inquire about them.
