The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a line of upper mid-range Android-based tablet computers produced by Samsung Electronics. It is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note series except without the Samsung S-Pen stylus. The first model in the series, the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab, was first introduced on 2 September 2010 at the IFA in Berlin. Since then there have been several models released, including models with 7.7, 8.9 and 10.1-inch displays. The Wi-Fi versions of the tablet all include a GPS system whilst the 3G/4G tablets include cellular capability as well.
The original Galaxy Tab (which was renamed as the Galaxy Tab 7.0 with the release of the 7.7, 8.9, and 10.1) was introduced on 2 September 2010 - at the IFA in Berlin. The Galaxy Tab was the first Android-powered tablet to be released. It has a single core 1 GHz Exynos processor, and a 7-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
Its operating system is based on Android 2.2 Froyo with some custom skins and applications.

Several updates were made throughout the world and in February 2012 Android Gingerbread 2.3.6 was made available.
