After our earlier reports on the 7-inch phone tablet from Samsung, the company has finally made it official by announcing the Samsung Galaxy W for SK Telecom in South Korea. The phone tablet or phablet is the first 7-inch smartphone device from a major brand to hit the market. Offering thinner bezels and the same artificial leather backside as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the phablet provides a 7-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. Other tech specs include a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB storage with microSD support, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, 4G LTE-A, 3200 mAh battery and Android 4.3. The new Galaxy W weighs in at 245g, which is about 46g heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and comes in black, red and white. No news when it may come to Malaysia or for how much but it is currently priced at 499400 won (RM1573).

Remember the 7-inch display Samsung SM-T2558 tablet with phone capabilities we reported on earlier? While there is still no official announcement yet, the device has passed through China's Tenaa so it has been more or less confirmed. A promo image from SK Telecom, one of South Korea's largest telcos about the device has revealed that it may be called the Samsung Galaxy W, which seems somewhat strange as there is already a 3.7-inch Samsung smartphone with the same name. Looking like an oversized Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 , the new device has a full 7-inch display and with 720p pixel resolution, while very thin bezels make it seem more like a very large phablet than a tablet with phone capabilities. Other tech specs include a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB RAM, 8MP rear camera and microSD support. According to the promo, the new Samsung Galaxy W will come with flip case cover but there are still no specific Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet.

Samsung Galaxy W I8150 is the latest announcement from Samsung. It will be releasing in expectedly in this year 2011. This will be a 3G cell phone. This has a cool and handsome look with only three keys on it. It is full touchscreen phone.
