T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) Passed the FCC

The Federal Communications Commission once again has approved a yet unidentified Samsung tablet with a model number of SGH-T779. It carries the logo of T-Mobile at the back  and as the image implied, it is capable of 4G connectivity too.

This device has somewhat been reported to have a relation with the slate popped out recently as the SGH-I497; which was allegedly a version of Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 of AT&T according to the report.

With this, the two FCC-approved devices have been checked out for similarities thru their submitted data to view their true relation. Nevertheless, the source has viewed some matching points regarding the two devices' features. Thus, the unannounced SGH-T779 tablet might be as well the T-Mobile's Galaxy 2 10.1 model in reality!

However, at the moment, no official announcements are made yet. Nonetheless, we just need to wait for future press release and latest news of both U.S. leading networks to confirm these allegations.
