Samsung is about to unveil the next iteration of its premium Galaxy Tab S line in the coming months. A benchmark listing for an upcoming Samsung tablet has been spotted online, which reveals that the Galaxy Tab S4 is likely to sport a 10.5-inch display. Moreover, the device is shown to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 chipset, which is not what some people were expecting.
GFXBench posted a benchmark result listing for a new Samsung tablet, which is set to hit the market later this year. People were quick to assume that this unnamed device is none other than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, basing on the model number specified in the benchmark listing.
The suspected Galaxy Tab S4 device is listed with model number SM-T835, which seems to follow the model numbers of the Galaxy Tab S2 and S3, SM-T815 and SM-T825.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is believed to have a slighlty bigger size than its predecessor with a 10.5-inch display. The screen panel can deliver up to 1,600x2,560 pixel resolution.
As for the under-the-hood specs of the tablet, the Galaxy Tab S4 will be powered by an Adreno 540 GPU, while there are no specific details given about the device's mobile processor. However, Tech Radar noted that the Adreno 540 graphics chip usually came with a Snapdragon 835 processor in last year's high-end gizmos.
With this, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is suggested to feature a Snapdragon 835 chipset, which is an improvement over the Galaxy Tab S3 that used a Snapdragon 821 processor.
That news might disappoint some, who expected the Galaxy Tab S4 to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 845, the same chipset featured in the Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones.
Other specs details for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 include 4GB of RAM and 64 GB internal storage. The tablet will also sport a 2MP rear camera and 8MP front-facing camera. The Tab S4 is expected to run the latest Android 8.0 Oreo version out of the box.
