We first saw the Samsung "Roma" tablet mentioned back in January when it was attached to a rumor that it would be a high-end model with a 5MP camera, coming to market in the first half of the year with either 16GB or 32GB of native storage. Now we have some more information about the slate, and the word is that it will be a TouchWiz version of the stock Android Google Nexus 10. That means it will have the same 2560 x 1600 resolution and 10.1 inch glass as the Samsung produced Google Nexus 10. That means that both tablets will sport an outstanding 299ppi pixel density

Besides the addition of the TouchWiz UI, the "Roma" is expected to include a microSD slot and offer 4G LTE connectivity, all of which are missing from the Google Nexus 10. Both tablets are powered by a dual-core 1.7GHz Samsung Exynos 5 processor, have 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of native storage. Camera-wise, the pair features a 5MP camera in back and a 1.9MP snapper up front. The 9000mAh battery keeps the gerbils rolling on both devices while Android 4.2.2 is installed on the two tablets.
Since Sammy has yet to utter a word about the "Roma", we are lacking info on pricing and availability. We do know that the Google Nexus 10 is priced at $399 without the 4G LTE connectivity. The buzz around the water cooler suggests that the device will soon be introduced by the Korean manufacturer.
