Just yesterday, we reported that Samsung was supposedly set to unveil the upcoming Galaxy Tab S3 on September 1. It seems that a new rumor has just surfaced, indicating that the South Korean company will be introducing the much-anticipated tablet during IFA 2016, together with the Gear S3.

IFA 2016 is set to take place in Berlin from September 4 to 9. During the event, many manufacturers are expected to unveil their latest devices, and it seems that new rumors suggest that Samsung might be showcasing its Galaxy Tab S3 and Gear S3 during this major event.

It does seem logical for Samsung to do just that, considering that the Galaxy Note 7 will debut on August 2, which leaves only these two devices to be revealed at IFA 2016.

The Gear S3 might come with built-in GPS

The information has been leaked by Italian technology journalist Antonio Monaco, who has indicated that the Gear S3 will look more like a regular wristwatch and will come with built-in GPS. He hasn't given out much information on the Galaxy Tab S3, aside from the supposed launch date.

Nevertheless, the Galaxy Tab S3 is set to catch the attention of the tablet market, considering that the last tablet that Samsung released in this series was an updated version of the Galaxy Tab S2 back, in April this year.

The Galaxy Tab S3 recently passed TENAA certification, and it seems that Samsung will release two versions of the tablet. One will have a 9.7-inch display while the other could have an 8-inch screen. Both tablets will have a 2048 x 1536 display resolution and will run Android Marshmallow 6.0.1. They will also have 3 GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage while battery capacity is set to reach 4,000mAh.

The Galaxy Tab S3 could come with an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP selfie snapper. It could pack a Snapdragon 652 CPU and have the option of 150Mbps LTE.
