A new range of tablets was presented at this year's Mobile World Congress. Tablets with smaller screens and tablet-phone combo are some of the innovative products introduced in the event.

One of the most anticipated tablets in the said event was Samsung's latest version of its Galaxy Tab. The company announced on February 13th, the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 2 measures 10.5mm-thick, and will be Samsung's first foray into the brave new world of Android 4.0. The tablet sports a 1GHz dual-core chip backed up by a decent 1GB of RAM; between 8 and 32GB of built-in storage plus a microSD card slot; a rear three-megapixel shooter plus a VGA front-facing cam for video calling, all fronted by a seven-inch 1024×600 screen. Samsung 10.1-Inch Galaxy Note: Virtually doubling its current Note tablet in size, the 10.1-inch tablet is said to be aimed at the Wacom art tablet market. However, information is scarce about this product.

LG officially unveiled its LG Optimus Vu last weekend. The device is equipped with 4:3 ratio IPS screen, measuring 5-inches. It's fairly well equipped with "Rubberdium" pen for stylus action, while a dual-core 1.5GHz processor is backed up by 1GB RAM, 32GB of storage and a 2,080mAh battery that should keep it chugging away nicely. It also has an eight-megapixel rear camera and a 1.3MP front-facing cam for video chat. The device is also equipped with LTE-chipset in there for 4G-equipped markets (that's not us), and it's all crammed into a pretty svelte 8.5mm thick frame.

The biggest surprise is from ASUS with its PadFone. The company has shown this device before but did not formally introduce it to the public. The device is a 4.3-inch tablet/phone combo with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor.

HTC also came up with its own tablet but it did not make so much splashes as the company was hoping for.

The Mobile World Congress 2012 commenced yesterday and will end on March 1 in Barcelona, Spain.
