To start with, the tablet’s processor is single-core as opposed to Dual-core found on P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7. Secondly, its display is slightly smaller than that of P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7by 0.7 inches, but, it houses some impressive specs than Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), which lacks LED flash, and so, photos taken by this tablet in darker conditions are inadmissible, except for those taken in well lit environments, of which are just as good.

There’s a 3.15Megapixel camera around the back panel coupled by LED flash so you can take those photos even in darker places.
