Samsung's many summer new GALAXY and ATIV families
Last week, Samsung held a presentation in London, which presented the latest GALAXY and ATIV families. What was not there at the exhibition: from smartphones and tablets to laptops, all-in-ones and even cameras. Below we will consider those that were presented to a wide audience for the first time.

The highlight of the program, of course, was the two new Windows 8-based tablets - ATIV Q and ATIV Tab 3.
Samsung ATIV Q is the first transformer notebook in a series of various portable technology companies that can operate in four functional modes: laptop, tablet working with the screen on weight and presentation.




But this is by no means the most surprising thing that can be found in the new gadget: ATIV Q runs on the full-fledged Windows 8 Pro OS ... and Android OS version 4.2.2 (by the way, it is stock - without TouchWiz)! Yes, this is not a mistake: the device works under two operating systems with the ability to switch between them literally on the fly. This alone makes the laptop an extremely interesting novelty.

Another clear advantage of ATIV Q is the 13.3-inch high-resolution QHD + touch screen (3200 × 1800 pixels). The pixel density on it is 2.8 times higher than modern Full HD displays - 275 ppi can offer. The material from which the laptop is made is dark blue aluminum. The thickness of the case is only 13.9 mm and the weight is 1.29 kg.

As far as performance is concerned, there is so far minimal information: the laptop runs on the latest generation Has Has quad-core processor, integrated graphics - Intel HD 4400, 4 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of internal SSD storage.

The first and most remarkable feature of the new Samsung ATIV Tab 3 tablet is the fact that the device runs on the full Windows 8 OS (note, not RT). As some IT experts who attended the presentation noted, “at the moment this is the thinnest and lightest tablet on a full eight”: its thickness is only 8.2 mm and weighs 550 grams.

In addition to its compact size, ATIV Tab 3 is notable for its good performance due to the updated Intel Atom Z2760 processor, 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal eMMC memory. The declared battery life is up to 10 hours. The screen size is 10.1 inches, and the resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels.

ATIV Q and ATIV Tab 3 are equipped with the S Pen, which will undoubtedly come in handy for more creative people or those who just like handwriting input of information and screen control. Also, the useful SideSync application is preinstalled on both tablets, which creates a real symbiosis between your mobile and PC devices, making it easy and simple to switch to Samsung smartphone control while working at the computer. Using this application, you can, for example, dial SMS on a smartphone using the PC keyboard or view maps, photos and videos from a smartphone on the large screen of your monitor, as well as carry out many other useful interactions between the two devices.
