History

The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 was announced on 25 February 2012.[6] It was shown along with the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 at the 2012 Mobile World Conference. Although the two devices were originally scheduled to launch in March, they did not do so, with Samsung explaining that the delay was due to unspecified problems with Ice Cream Sandwich[8] Samsung later confirmed that the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 would be released in the US on 13 May, with a price of $399.99 for the 16GB model.[7]

Software

The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 was originally released with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. An upgrade to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean has since been made available, both as an over-the-air update and through Samsung Kies.[1] Samsung has customized the interface with its TouchWiz UX software. As well as apps from Google, including Google Play, Gmail and YouTube, it has access to Samsung apps such as ChatON, S Suggest and All Share Play.[3] Samsung released Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in September 2013/November 2013 to most versions of the Tab 2 device. The update is still being released in batches so not all devices have received it.
