It looks like Samsung is replenishing everything on its menu. While the South Korea-based tech firm is busy preparing for the nearing release of its flagship Samsung Galaxy S7, the grapevine churns details about new versions of its Galaxy Tab S2.

A listing on the Indian export website Zauba has revealed that two new tablets under the said lineup are in the works. The first one was revealed to sport an 8-inch display while the other one appears to have a 9.7-inch screen.

These display sizes are reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, which came in the same sizes last year. Their respective model numbers (SM-T719 and SM-T813) also sound like they belong to the line. The last-gen versions had (SM-T710/SM-T715 and SM-T810/ SM-T815).

GSM Arena believes that the slates in the Zauba listing could very well be new iterations of Samsung's most popular tablet line. The only other detail mentioned in this leak is that the 8-inch one is priced at NR 13,817 (around $215) while the other comes with an INR 17,271 (around $255) price tag.

Users can expect some much-needed upgrades in the new-gen editions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. The 2015 versions featured Super AMOLED displays with an impressive 2048×1536 pixel resolution and were equipped with an Exynos 5433 octa-core processor.

The tablets had 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of native storage that can be expanded with a microSD card. They also had an 8-MP camera on the back and a 2.1-MP on the front. Lastly, these models carried a 5,870-mAh battery to keep the lights on for long hours.

There's no mention of a release date for the pair of new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 but their appearance in Zauba hints that they could be here soon. With Samsung holding an event on Feb. 21, users can imagine these tablets sharing the spotlight with the Samsung Galaxy S7.
