Even though we’re fairly certain that Samsung won’t be unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S III (S3) at Mobile World Congress, it looks like the AMOLED-touting crew may have another surprise for us, and their calling it the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Are you a touch confused? You should be. I went hands on with the 5.3-inch Galaxy Note at CES earlier this year and I’ve also reviewed the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet (photo above) as well. If we base our predictions solely on the naming scheme, the assumption then would be that the Galaxy Note 10.1 is a tablet device, but it’ll make use of the same S Pen as the existing Galaxy Note.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 is mentioned in the documentation for Samsung Developer Day at MWC 2012, as well as the S Pen SDK, the current Galaxy Note, the Wave 3, and the Wave Y. Should we then assume that, moving forward, anything with the “Note” moniker will do the capacitive stylus thing, whereas a Galaxy “Tab” would be a more conventional tablet? Or are the lines blurring between the two? Samsung certainly isn’t ruling out the extension of the S Pen to other products and the Galaxy Note 10.1 could represent the first addition to the family.

tesy of the front-facing camera, and perhaps even some voice controls “in certain circumstances.”

Here’s the official quote, regarding the pen and its interface:

I think a pen interface continues to make a lot of sense across a number of screen sizes, like the larger is more obvious of those. That’s about as specific as I can be without announcing a product.

While the S Pen is likely to make its way into the new Galaxy Tab, the size of the Tab has yet to be determined.

While we don’t know a lot it seems that at the very least the pen and possible some other interesting goodies will soon be making their way to a next-gen Galaxy Tab.

Samsung has released a commercial showing off their new 5.3-inch smartphone? tablet? They aren’t even sure what it is. Regardless, the screen is massive and the battery may be terrible, but its too soon to tell. The Galaxy Note will have a HSPA+ quad band and 4G LTE, EDGE/GPRS quad band modem, a dual core 1.4Ghz processor, but still stuck on Gingerbread.

Back to the 5.3” WXGA display. Samsung makes some really nice displays, and this one will be capable of 1280 x 800 at 285 PPI. Oh ya, it’s an HD Super AMOLED too. Check out the video with the S Pen in action.
