Samsung's line of tablets have been a tough competitor to Apple's line of iPad Airs. And while the Korean tech giant's bet has arguably been trailing behind a little, the upcoming Galaxy Tab S3 which will be launched in just a few days, is expected to turn all this around. Reportedly, the new device will come with a roster of new features and will hit the market in two variants.

Galaxy Tab S3 Release Date And Variant Specs

According to HNGN, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 will be launched on September 2, during the annual IFA event in Berlin, Germany.

Though the only confirmation is that the device will be launched, speculation regarding two options are very persistent. That is, that Samsung will release a 8 inch version of the Galaxy Tab 3, as well as a much larger 9.7 inch variant.

What Improvements Have Been Made To The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3?

According to IBT AU, the upcoming device is likely to come with a faster processor than its predecessor. That is, that the new tablet will come with a more advanced processor and the highest-performing operating system available - a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

And while the specs have also not been confirmed, the 8 inch variant of the Galaxy Tab S3 is expected to come with 32 GB of internal storage and a stable 4000 mAh battery. Meanwhile, the 9.7 inch option is suspected to come with 64 GB of internal memory and a 5870 mAh battery.

Both devices should be running smoothly on 3 GB of RAM and a screen that has a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. Both will also have an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front camera.

What Else To Expect From Samsung?

Reportedly, Samsung will also make the original 8.4 inch and 10.5 inch Galaxy Tab S units compatible with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
