14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier this week, news surfaced that Samsung is set to announce four new tablet models in the first quarter of 2014.
One of them has a name already, and it’s the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (model number SM-T111), expected to be the cheapest tablet Samsung has ever put out on the market, with a price tag revolving around €100 / $134. As for the remaining three, we could only speculate what the models would be, as there are plenty of options to choose from.
Now a new tablet has shown its face on India’s import and export site Zauba, an indicator that Samsung is working hard to achieve the four-tablet goal set for the first quarter of 2014. The filings on the site, showcases two models SM-T900 and SM-T905 (most likely Wi-Fi and LTE variants of the same tablet).
The two unannounced models have apparently been sent to India for testing and evaluation and the estimated price shown in the filing (approximately $560 / €407) shows that we’re dealing with a high-end model product.
So which tablet could this be? A while back, the purported 12.2-inch Galaxy Note showed up in the rumor-mill bearing the model number SM-P900, which is pretty similar to SM-T900. So is it possible that we’re looking at Sammy’s 12-incher here?
Or is the 13.3-incher? This particular tablet has been said to be a Galaxy Tab 2014 Edition version capable of dual-booting between Android and Windows RT. Or could the SM-T900 / SM-T905 turn out to be one Sammy’s AMOLED tablets? At this point, we can’t really say.
In a few weeks, Samsung is expected to hold a press event on the day before the kick-start of CES 2014, where it's expected to pull the veil off some new products, which entails tablets of course. Will the SM-T900 be among them?
