Samsung Rome a high-end tablet very similar to Nexus 10

When it comes to tablets and smartphones, the South Korean conglomerate Samsung tend to take it very seriously because their business model is to try to reach all possible sectors of the market: the low-end, the mid range and of course the high end. Well, it seems that the market for tablets soon receive a new device that is located between the high end and is known under the code name "Rome", and of course, is a product of Samsung.

It appears that the Samsung Rome will be very similar to the Nexus 10 Google : have a 10-inch screen with full HD resolution or higher, have at least 2GB of RAM and 16GB of space, you have a front and rear camera and your processor will be a quad-core at best. Of course, you still have their differences, as it is expected that Rome does have a microSD card slot and it would be thinner and lighter than the Nexus 10.

Remember that these are not just rumors, so you better hope some official confirmation first.

John Kerry, the U.S. secretary of state, said during a recent visit to Beijing the agreement between the two nations to work together. In turn, through this alliance, it should end the endless accusations of attacks by both countries. The foreign minister of China has also made a similar statement to that of Kerry, confirming the news.
