Samsung will host its next press event next week in New York City. Taking place on June 12, the Samsung Galaxy Premiere 2014 ‘Tab into color’ event is widely expected to see the Korean company unveil its newest tablets. A video teaser released today gives us a countdown and a glimpse at a slim tablet of some kind, effectively confirming the rumours.
Two Galaxy Tab S tablets, differing only in the size of the display are expected. Rumoured specifications promise some rather impressive tablets:
- Processor: Octa-core (1.9GHz × 4 Cortex-A15 and 1.3GHz × 4 Cortex-A7) Samsung Exynos 5420
- Operating system: Google Android 4.4.2
- Cellular connectivity: Optional LTE configuration
- Other connectivity: GPS/GLONASS, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE / ANT+, DLNA
- Display: 8.4- or 10.5-inch WQXGA (2560×1600) AMOLED
- RAM: 3GB LPDDR3e
- Rear-facing camera: 8MP with 1080p video capture
- Front-facing camera: 2.1MP
- Colours: Shimmer White and Titanium Grey
- Other: Fingerprint sensor integrated into Home button, IR blaster
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablets could be available as early as later this month. Hopefully Samsung will provide availability and pricing details during the event.
