During MWC 2012 in February, Samsung showed off the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 tablet. At the time, the device featured a dual-core 1.4GHz Exynos processor under the hood, a 1280 x 800 display, 3MP camera and lack of a place to store the S Pen that comes with the tablet. But last month, the Korean based manufacturer warned that changes might be coming to the tablet. And sure enough, when the tablet was displayed at an event in Europe on Tuesday, there were some changes made.

The revised version of the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 tablet now has a quad-core Samsung Exynos processor running the show, which power users are going to be happy to hear about. Additionally, Samsung has added a “holster” so that users of the tablet can store the S Pen when they weren’t using it. Speaking of the S Pen, it has been on a diet and has slimmed down considerably. Still, there are those who would rather have use a thicker stylus, and for them, Samsung is offering an S Pen Holder Kit that allows you to put the thin S Pen insider a thicker body. Latest word calls for a June launch for the tablet.
