At the back of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a 3-megapixel camera, while the front has a 2-megapixel one for video calling. The tablet supports full 1080P high-definition video playback.

It will arrive with a 1.4GHz dual-core processor. It will also offer Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi channel bonding functionality, which are rarities among tablets and mobiles. Channel bonding aims to provide an improved connection and higher data-transfer speeds.

Samsung emphasised the device's 10 hours of video-playback time, which is similar to that of the iPad, saying it had not "sacrificed battery life for its ultra-thin design".

The company was unable to provide UK availability and pricing for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 at the time of writing.
