14 DAY TRIAL // Last week we saw the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 smile for the camera for the first time. The Korean tech giant has been expected to unveil 8-inch and 10-inch AMOLED display tablets for some months now, and recent developments indicate the 10.5-incher’s release should not be far off.
After getting acquainted with the real tablet a few days ago, we are now treated with a new batch of images showcasing the device, this time snapped by the FCC, brings word PhoneArena.
Since the US portal of product approval is involved, it seems safe to claim the slate will make a debut soon enough. The Galaxy Tab S lineup has been one of Samsung’s best kept secrets, until a short while ago when the full specifications have been leaked online.
The Galaxy Tab S will arrive in 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch flavors and will become available to consumers in two variants, namely Wi-Fi only and LTE.
Apart from the crisp AMOLED display everybody is drooling about, the Galaxy Tab S will bring other notable features to the table, too. Most importantly, the slates will benefit from the same finger print sensor technology embedded in the home button, which we have seen in the Galaxy S5 smartphone.
The Galaxy Tab S is expected to arrive with the Multi-User login feat, which means multiple users will be able to use the tablet. The novelty comes from the fact that you can now sign in your respective account by virtue of swiping your finger on the finger-print enhanced home button located in the lock screen.
Other sensor-specific feats will be available for Galaxy Tab S owners too, like PayPal Payments, Private Folder and Samsung Apps login.
In the previously leaked photographs, it was revealed Samsung has dropped the familiar faux leather look when its AMOLED tablets are concerned. Instead, the back is now coated in perforated material with visible dots said to be proprietary connectors for Samsung’s book cover.
We don’t really know what that signifies at the moment, but we can assume we’re talking about a new innovative feature we haven’t been acquainted with so far.
Samsung’s new AMOLED tablets are expected to draw power from an Octa-Core Exynos 5 (5420) SoC with ARM’s big.LITTLE technology (four 1.9GHz Cortext-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores) fitted with 6-core ARM Mali-T628 GPU with clock speeds of 533MHz.
As opposed to other tablet endeavors where Samsung used Qualcomm chips for the LTE version, this time the Korean tech giant will be sticking to its Exynos 5 platform (thanks to modems imported from Intel) all the way. Are you excited about Samsung’s AMOLED tablet?
