14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung will be holding a press event later this month, on February 26, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The company won’t announce a new flagship smartphone, but the Galaxy Tab S3 tablet, whose manual has just leaked.
The manual reveals interesting information about the upcoming tablet, including the fact that it will bring some sort of S Pen integration. The S Pen won’t be a simple stylus, but it will offer advanced features for users to enjoy.
The screenshots leaked over at GalaxyClub show the design, UX, and some tools on the upcoming tablet. The Galaxy Tab S3 will have two speakers at the bottom and two at the top, which brings the total number of speakers to 4. This would provide improved sound to the tablet.
USB Type-C and Android Nougat
The device maker will bring USB Type-C port to the Galaxy Tab S3, a port that has been featured on many smartphones released last year. The Galaxy Tab S3 will run Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. The manual also reveals all the keys and ports on the new tablet, as well as the microphone, SIM card, the fingerprint sensor on the home button, and the power key on the side.
It also shows the keyboard dock port on the side, the position of the GPS antenna, rear camera and flash. The Galaxy Tab S3 will come with the Secure Folder feature for protecting private content and apps, like photos and notes.
It will have the Screen Off Memo feature for writing on the screen using the S Pen, without the device being turned on. Users can also hover the S Pen over the screen and open the Air command panel for creating notes, writing on the screen, and more. From what we can gather from the images, the S Pen won’t have a dedicated slot on the tablet, as this will be offered as an external accessory.
