KOREAN ELECTRONICS MAKER Samsung has launched another Galaxy tablet device called the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, which joins the Galaxy Tab 7.7, 8.9 and 10.1 devices, has a 7in WSVGA display with DivX multi-codec support, weighs 345g and measures 9.96mm thick.

It runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb and has a 1.2GHz dual core processor. It also has Adobe Flash and HSPA+ connectivity, which claims to provide download speeds up to three times faster than a conventional HSPA connection.

The device has HD video capability and social networking readers and a music hub perfect for watching films, and playing games. It can also be used as a 'universal home entertainment remote control', Samsung said.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will be available at a range of UK retailers later this year.
