Android 4.2.2 For Galaxy Note 8.0 LTE And Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Released

Samsung has been on a roll recently, rolling out Android 4.2.2 update for a number of its devices. The company has now released said update for Galaxy Note 8.0 LTE model GT-N5120 and the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 3G model GT-P3100. Android 4.2.2 update for both of these devices is being rolled out in stages, so users shouldn’t expect the update notification to be immediately pushed to their respective device. It will depend upon your region or country, though it should take more than a couple of days for the roll out process to complete.

The first market to receive Galaxy Note 8.0 LTE Android 4.2.2 update is the UK. It weighs in at about 1.3GB, users will have the option to download it over-the-air or through Samsung Kies once the update becomes available in their region. For the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 the first market is France and it weighs around 895MB. Expansion to other markets around the globe might have already begun. It remains to be seen how many of its devices Samsung decides to tap for the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, which has only been released for Nexus and Google Play Edition devices right now.

    Samsung outs Garnet Red Edition Galaxy Tab 2 70 in the US, prices it at $220

    Just as we saw with AT&T’s Garnet Red Galaxy S III, Samsung has now introduced yet another device that’s wrapped in a similar color scheme — and, hey, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, what better time, right? The difference here, however, is the South Korean company’s including a matching case as part of this special edition Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, with the newfangled bundle set to be available for $220 when it goes on sale this week. Additionally, Samsung’s 7-inch Garnet Red Tab 2 will be shipping with Jelly Bean already onboard, while other internal specs won’t be any different than the ones we became familiar with last year — ones such as the 1,024 x 600 TFT display, 1GHz, dual-core TI OMAP CPU, 8GB of internal storage and, of course, that handy IR blaster. You’ll have to snag one quick if you’re interested, though, as Samsung has told us the blooming Tab 2 7.0 will — much like other peculiar sets — only be available for a limited time at shops like Amazon, Walmart, Office Depot, Tiger Direct, Fry’s Electronics and Toys R Us.

    Samsung P500 and i915tablets for Sprint and Verizon, Sprint Galaxy Note II reach the FCC

    When it rains, it pours. As if to clear the decks, Samsung has passed three devices through the FCC’s scrutiny at the same time. Two, the SPH-P500 and SCH-i915, are LTE-equipped tablets respectively headed to Sprint and Verizon with a dash of mystery; their label images imply a pair of Galaxy Tab 2 variants, but both have previously been spotted in as yet unverified benchmarks that allude to much faster Snapdragon S4 processors instead of the Tab 2’s TI chips. The SPH-L900’s dimensions and dual-mode support make for a safer bet, pointing to what’s likely the Galaxy Note II for Sprint. We’re less concerned with the hardware details so much as when everything ships — although we may get a clearer picture of the Sprint Galaxy Note II’s fate around October 24th, the tablets aren’t linked to any kind of public schedule, official or otherwise.

    Update: Not long after Sprint’s Galaxy Note sequel arrived in the FCC, US Cellular’s flavor — the SCH-R950 — also made it through the federal approval process.

    Samsung rolling Jelly Bean out across most of its smartphone, tablet lineup ‘soon’

    Samsung Jelly Bean

    Now that Samsung has commenced beaming Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA toward deserving Galaxy S III customers, it’s announced a raft of other devices set to receive the buttery OS in the near future. On the list are the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Music, Galaxy Chat, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy Beam, Galaxy Ace Plus, Galaxy mini II and Galaxy S Duos. That should bring a bit of extra speed and smoothness to those devices, along with Google Now for search and Samsung’s own flourishes from the latest TouchWiz UX. As for the rest of us, there’s more than one way to skin a Smartphone — or avoid skinning one, as the case may be.

    Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition Bundle officially hits stores tomorrow, yours for $250 until Sept.1st

    After leaking early and then being sold ahead of schedule at Best Buy, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition Bundle — yes, that’s really its full moniker — now has a confirmed street date. Starting tomorrow, $250 the bundle (which includes a 8GB version of the tablet finished in glossy white, a keyboard dock and USB peripheral connector) will be available for purchase until September 1st at Best Buy, Tiger Direct, Fry’s Electronics, Amazon, and Costco. Specs-wise this Android 4.0 slate skinned with TouchWiz isn’t exactly up to par with the venerable $200 Nexus 7, but it’s still a potential step up from B&N’s recently discounted Nook Tablets. Beyond that, it also stands out by packing an IR-blaster, microSD card slot and two cameras — and lest we forget to mention that this particular GTab itself is normally $250. Hit up the press release after the break if your interests are piqued enough to consider hitting the halls with this bundle.
