Tech addicts longing for the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 might not have to wait that long. It is speculated to arrive anytime soon and come loaded with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652, 3GB of RAM and a 4,000 mAh battery.

Several features are said to be carried over from its predecessor, like two different screen sizes at 9.7-inches and 8-inches, AMOLED display that offers 1536 x 2048 pixels screen resolution, and two variants (32GB and 64GB internal storage). A microSD slot will also come along to give an extra storage space of up to 128GB. Snappers are pegged at 8MP for the main camera, which will now contain an LED-flash, and a 2MP one for the front-facing camera. Both cameras will be capable of taking 1080p video quality, according to rumors.

Last month, the ever-famous leakster Evan Blass, posted a rendered image of the rumored tablet in two colors, white and dark gray, with a caption, "Anonymous tip. Tab S3?"

Fans are expecting that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 will have a longer battery life, be lightweight and faster than the previous model.

Moreover, it is also rumored to arrive contain the latest Android operating system, officially known as Nougat. The mobile OS features a more flexible Google Assistant, instant app access, multi-tasking on its multi-window, instant reply to messages in the notification's window and grouped notifications. Additionally, it will also have Doze-to-go, which helps save battery juice when the phone is not in use, and Night Mode, which will help reduce eye strain.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is speculated to drop first in the United Kingdom before any other place in the world. The South Korean tech giant has not mentioned a single word about the alleged tablet, so fans will have to wait and see if these will all materialize in the near future.
