Samsung continues its quest to try to cover every single possible niche in the mobile electronics market with its unveiling, on Thursday, of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. The much-rumored "Lite" version of the Galaxy Tab 3 is touted as physically smaller, but that's not really true. One thing is sure -- it won't fill you up on hardware and features. Here's a look at the details Samsung has released on the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite so far.

Lite = Portability?

Samsung has trimmed many of the features of the Galaxy Tab 3 in order to make the Lite version slimmer and more portable. The company also trimmed the bezel around the 7-inch screen, supposedly to maximize viewing area while minimizing size. That said, the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is actually a little larger in length and height, at 7.61 x 4.58 -inches compared to the Galaxy Tab 3's 7.40 x 4.37-inches. And as far as being "slimmer," the Lite version of the Galaxy Tab 3 only trims off .01 inches in width from its predecessor.

Samsung hasn't released any specific launch dates, market availability, or prices, but it's clear the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite has got to be very cheap in order for this to make sense for any buyers. The 8GB 2013 Galaxy Tab 3 retails for about $200, so the Lite would have to sell at much less than that.
