While Samsung continues to expand its smartphone lineup, speculations suggest that the South Korea-based tech giant is also looking to develop its tablet iterations. Reportedly, there is a new iteration in the works, dubbed the Galaxy Tab 4 Advanced.
The rumor seems to be true, as what is deemed to be the specs sheet of the upcoming slate has started circulating online. According to Phandroid, an alleged PDF document details the under-the-hood specs of the new tablet, and the specs sheet is similar to the leaks that appeared previously on different benchmark sites. Much like its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab 4, the Advanced edition is another 10.1-inch display slate with 1280 x 800 resolution. Under the hood, it features an octa-core processor paired with 2GB of RAM, with 32GB of storage expandable up to 128GB via microSD support. The upcoming Galaxy Tab 4 Advanced has a 5MP main camera on the back, and a 1.3-MP selfie shooter. The battery is listed to have a 6,800 mAh capacity, and the slate runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box.
The Verge says that while the specs sheet reads like a mid-range slate, the Galaxy Tab 4 Advanced can still be considered top-of-the-line among Samsung tablet lineups. Of course, the upcoming Advanced edition doesn't compare to above-average types like the Galaxy Tab S series, but the Galaxy Tab 4 Advanced will be able to hold its own against mid-range slates from competitors.
Aside from the upcoming Galaxy Tab 4 Advanced, Samsung is also looking to greatly expand its tablet lineups with other iterations. Earlier this year, the company quietly updated its Galaxy Tab A lineup with the 2016 edition of the Galaxy Tab A 7.0. Just recently, reports of the Galaxy Tab S3 lineup surfaced online, stating that Samsung will be unveiling two new iterations in the lineup soon.
