Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S3 has been getting all the necessary certifications and the tablet was even spotted on benchmarking sites. Some of its specs and its pricing have just been featured in a report from South Korea, via SamMobile.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 will be the company’s next flagship Android tablet and is said to feature a 9.6-inch display with 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution, making it one of the tablets with the highest screen resolution on the market.

The tablet is said to run a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB of RAM and Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. When it comes to camera capacity, the report reveals that the rear camera will be a 12MP unit, while the front camera will have a capacity of 5MP.

Galaxy Tab S3 could be announced next month

The Galaxy Tab S3 will be available in two variants, LTE and WiFi only. It will be the successor to the Galaxy Tab S2, which was announced in August 2015. The Tab S3 is said to be thinner than its predecessor and might be unveiled during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month.

Since Samsung won’t be announcing its new flagship phone, it’s highly likely that the Tab S3 will make an appearance. The latest report also mentions that the Tab S3 could be released in March for the price of $600, but that remains to be seen.

It’s said to feature a USB Type-C port and UFS 2.0 storage as well, but battery capacity is unknown at this point, but it is expected to be larger than the 5,870mAh battery on the Galaxy Tab S2. If the rumored specs are accurate, the Tab S3 will be a clear improvement over the S2, with more RAM, a better processor and rear camera.

The Galaxy Tab S3 recently received FCC certification, as well as WiFi certification, which means that the device is quite close to being unveiled.
