Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 processor confirmed as Clover Trail+ with LTE abilities
This week the folks at Samsung delivered news of two new Galaxy Tab 3 devices, each of them bringing with them the next generation of GALAXY S 4 aesthetics and wireless abilities. The 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 3 was delivered with a note that it'd be bringing a dual-core Intel processor inside, but only in a very general way - certainly not what Android addicts were looking for in their detail journals.
