It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S7 won't be the only device Samsung will unveil in the upcoming Mobile World Congress. The South Korea-based company is expected to launch the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 as well.
In the past weeks, details about the slate have been trickling in and with its expected reveal just around the corner, new info has emerged. Another benchmark listing cements the existence of not one but two variants of the tablet, as one would expect from the Galaxy maker.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 has turned up in a GFX Bench benchmark test. The first one had 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display, which has the same resolution as that of its predecessor. Notably, the bigger slab appears to have the same specs sheet as that of its 8-inch counterpart.
The benchmark listing stated it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor under the hood with eight more powerful cores. This is the key difference between the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and its predecessor. The choice of processor comes as a surprise as Samsung usually uses Exynos chipsets for its products.
Both the 8-inch and the 9.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 offer 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage space. In the camera department, users can expect an 8-MP rear-facing shooter and a 2-MP selfie snapper – both with 1080p pixel resolution. The tablets run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, the latest from Google.
Not too long ago, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 units of the same aforementioned sizes were spotted on the India-based import and export website Zauba. There, it was revealed that the larger Galaxy Tab S3 will be priced around $255 and the 8-inch variant at $215.
Up to now, there remain no official details about the tablets, but this might change come the highly-anticipated Mobile World Congress, which kicks off next week, Feb. 22. Samsung is set to unpack the Samsung Galaxy S7 on Feb. 21.
