By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Samsung is set to compete in the tablet market at nearly every conceivable size. The Galaxy Tab 3 line starts with the 7-inch model, a slimmed down 8-inch model and the 10.1 inch model. We have thinner bezels this year, improved storage capacity (accepting up to 64GB microSD) as well as a range of prices starting at $199 for the 7-inch version. One curious thing is Samsung's opting to use an Intel Clovertrail processor on the 10.1-inch tab and not one of their own Exynos processors.
