Samsung lets slip about its Galaxy Note 10.1

KOREAN HARDWARE GIANT Samsung has accidentally revealed its upcoming Galaxy Note 10.1.

The slip up was made on Samsung's global blog that was advertising its developer day at this month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The post has been removed but Slashgear managed to get a screenshot before it was pulled.

As you can see from the image some existing devices are listed for an exhibition, including a Galaxy Note 10.1. It could have been a genuine mistake, possible a mix-up between the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

However, a US advertisement looking for a teenage student to feature in a commercial for the Galaxy Note 10.1 suggests that the blog post wasn't an error. That has also been taken down but is available via a Google cache.

If the device is real then we assume it will be a cross between the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Tab 10.1, effectively the 10in tablet with stylus input support. The Galaxy Note also has smartphone functionality but we doubt Samsung will promote this possible device as a 10.1in phone and tablet.

Samsung won't be announcing the successor to the Galaxy S II - presumably called the Galaxy S III - at MWC, so maybe the company is hoping that the Galaxy Note 10.1 will steal the show.

We asked Samsung about the device and it said, "We don't comment on future product announcements." µ
