The time gap between the original Galaxy Tab and the latest version of the tablet is almost 18 months. Though the specs are not drastically different, the chassis has gone through a huge makeover. You will notice that the manufacturer has opted for a rounded silver back (original Galaxy Tab had white back) and thick slab. A nice 7.0 inches display screen makes the device bigger and its measurements are 193.7 x 122.4 x 10.5 mm, weighing in at 344 grams.
