The 8-inch Galaxy Note tablet we saw last week will be officially unveiled at Mobile World Congress, according to Korea’s iNews24. The site reports that Samsung mobile head JK Shin says the 8-inch tablet will be coming at the show, which is held in late February, though he didn’t reveal any other details. Previous leaks have indicated that the tablet will come in 3G and Wi-Fi models with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, a 1280 x 800 display, 5-megapixel back camera, and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. Its form factor is similar to previous Galaxy Tab designs.
