Samsung is continuing its quest to put out a tablet with every imaginable screen size. The company already has tablets with 7, 8.9, and 10.1 inch displays. Now we can add a 7.7 inch model to the lineup.

But it’s not just the screen size that sets the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 apart from other tablets. It’s also the first Android tablet to feature a Super AMOLED display. It also has a 1280 x 800 pixel screen resolution, which offers much higher pixel density than you’ll find on 9 and 10 inch tablets with the same resolution.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 has a 1.4 GHz dual core processor, 16GB to 64GB fof storage, a 3MP rear camera and 2MB front camera, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0 host capabilities, and Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system.
