Earlier this week, a new Samsung tablet with SM-T865 model number was spotted on Geekbench. The Snapdragon 855 chipset powered device was found to be the upcoming Galaxy Tab S5 tablet. Now, Galaxyclub.nl has shared some vital information on the tablet and has claimed that it may go official at some time in August.

The Geekbench listing of the Galaxy Tab S5 had revealed that it will be fueled by the Snapdragon 855 chipset and 6 GB of RAM. It will come preloaded with Android 9 Pie OS. According to the publication, the Galaxy Tab S5 will be arriving with its own S-Pen stylus.

In February, Samsung had launched a low powered Galaxy Tab S5e. The Snapdragon 670 SoC fueled tablet did not feature an S-Pen stylus. It was made available with a budget-friendly price tag of 399 euros. The Galaxy Tab S4 that was introduced last year had arrived with 699 euros price tag. Hence, it is likely that the Galaxy Tab S5 may also carry a similar price tag. The Tab S4 with model numbers SM-T830 and SM-T835 were made available as its Wi-Fi only and LTE variants. There is a possibility that the Galaxy Tab S5 may also come in Wi-Fi only (SM-T860) and LTE (SM-T865) variants.

There is no information available on the other specs and features of the Galaxy Tab S5. The South Korean tech giant had axed the 3.5mm audio jack in the Galaxy Tab S5e to achieve a thinner design. Hence, there is a chance that the upcoming Galaxy Tab S5 may lack a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Android 9 Pie OS on the device could be overlaid with the latest One UI from the company. The Galaxy Tab S4 did not feature a fingerprint scanner and it featured an iris scanner for user authentication. The Galaxy Tab S5 may also lack a fingerprint reader.

Last year, the Galaxy Tab S4 was introduced more or less at the same time as Galaxy Note 9 in August. A recent report had claimed that Samsung may debut the Galaxy Note 10 on Aug. 10. Probably, the Tab S5 may go official around the same time. It may hit the market at the beginning of September.

Apart from the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the South Korean company has couple of new devices such as Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Tab S4 and some other tablets in the coming week. Among the upcoming tablets from the company, the Galaxy Tab S4 is rumored to be packed with advanced specs. Fresh information has revealed that the company may announce the Galaxy Tab S4 at the upcoming Unpacked event that will be held on Aug. 9 to announce the Galaxy Note 9 phablet. A leaked hands-on video of the tablet has also surfaced today to reveal its appearance.

The above video only lasts for 10 seconds, but it manages to reveal that the Galaxy Tab S4 will be arriving in Black and Gray color variants. The other thing that can be seen in the short clip is that the tablet does not feature a physical home button which is available on the predecessor Galaxy Tab S3. The tablet seems to be sporting 16:10 aspect ratio display.

The Galaxy Tab S4 does not feature a fingerprint scanner. The leaked firmware files of the Tab S4 has revealed that it will be equipped with iris scanner and Intelligent Scan feature which can be found on flagship phones like Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 8 phones. Intelligent Scan is a feature that combines iris scanner and facial recognition.

Plenty of information on the specifications of the Galaxy Tab S4 have surfaced in the recent weeks. The tablet is expected to house a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display that will carry support for Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.

The Snapdragon 835 SoC will be powering the tablet along with 4 GB of RAM. It has a native storage of 64 GB and it is preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo OS.

According to Techno Buffalo, its sources have revealed that Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event that will be held in New York at Aug. 9 will be used to announced Galaxy Note 9 as well as Galaxy Tab S4. The launch invitation of the Note 9 had featured an S Pen stylus. Since the Note 9 and Tab S4 are equipped with S Pen, it is likely that both devices may get announced at the same event.

There is no information available on when it will be launching the Galaxy Watch. Probably, the next smartwatch from the company will be unveiled at IFA 2018 tech expo that will be held in Berlin, Germany at the end of the coming month.

One of the features of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S series is a front-mounted fingerprint scanner. However, that won’t be the case for this year’s Galaxy Tab S4.

Renders had already shown that the Galaxy Tab S4 was missing a front-mounted fingerprint scanner and didn’t have one on the back, though the latter wouldn’t have made any sense for a device with a 10-inch screen.

New reports have now confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S4 will not come with a fingerprint scanner. Instead, it will come with a combination of an iris scanner and face unlock which Samsung has termed “Intelligent Scan”. The confirmation comes from an instructional video from the official Galaxy Tab S4 firmware.

The Galaxy Tab S4 will be the first tablet to come with an iris scanner. With “Intelligent Scan”, users will be able to unlock their device with either the iris scanner or face unlock depending on the environment. For example, when outdoors and under bright sunlight, the iris scanner is known to fail, so in that situation, the device switches to face unlock. And when in poorly lit areas where Face Unlock doesn’t work, the device switches to iris scanning. You can watch the video in the source link below.

Samsung will soon announce a new member for its Galaxy Tab S series. Called the Galaxy Tab S4, it will be its most powerful tablet as it will come with a Snapdragon 835 processor.

Ahead of its official release, which is still unknown at the moment, though there are speculations it may launch with the Galaxy Note 9, press renders of the device has surfaced. The images were leaked on Twitter by Evan Blass (@evleaks) and they show the device, a Bluetooth keyboard, and even the S Pen.

The first image shows the Galaxy Tab S4 sitting in a black keyboard case. Beside the setup, is the S Pen in silver. The tablet has two speaker grilles at the top (side) along with a microphone. We can’t see the bezel at the far end clearly, which is likely the bottom bezel, but there doesn’t seem to be a physical home button there.

Another image shows the rear of the tablet, this time without the case. There is a single camera and a LED flash sitting in the upper middle part. A few centimeters below is the Samsung logo and inscribed at the bottom are the words “Tuned by AKG”. There is also the S Pen leaning against the tab.

The final image shows the S Pen of the Galaxy Tab S3 (L) and that of the Galaxy Tab S4 (R) side by side. The image shows us that Samsung has redesigned the stylus. As you can see, the S Pen is now rounded right from the top down to the tip. The button on the side is also slimmer. There is also a silver band in the middle with a perpendicular line. We can’t say if this is a second button but it appears to have a small LED too.

Apart from Galaxy Note 9 and Gear S4 smartwatch, Samsung is also expected to announce the Galaxy Tab S4 in the near future. A lot of information on the Tab S4 tablet has appeared in the recent past, but none of the leaks have revealed its actual design. An official press render of the tablet has appeared today to kill the mystery of its appearance.

Rumors have revealed that the Galaxy Tab S4 would be available in black and gray colors. The below render shows off the black variant. It is yet to be confirmed whether there will be Gold color edition of the tablet. When it comes to rear design and placement of the camera, the Galaxy Tab S4 appears almost same as predecessor Galaxy Tab S3. Even the positioning of the power and volume keys on the Galaxy Tab S4 is same as the predecessor tablet. The “Tuned by AKG” logo found on the Tab S3 has been replaced by “Samsung | Tuned by AKG” logo on the successor model.

Rumors have revealed that the Galaxy Tab S4 will be equipped with a 10.5-inch display. Earlier in this year, the HTML5 benchmarks of Tab S4 had revealed that it would be offering an aspect ratio of 16:10. The screen seems to be surrounded by slightly slimmer bezels compared to the Tab S3 that featured a 9.7-inch display. The overall size of the Tab S4 does not seem to be much larger than its predecessor.

There is no logo on the top bezel of the Galaxy Tab S4. This could be because that the tablet could be housing an iris scanner on the top bezel. Samsung seems to have removed the home button from the chin of the device. Probably, the Tab S4 may carry support for on-screen navigation buttons. Some rumor had claimed that the tablet could be arriving with fingerprint sensor enabled home button. However, now the home button is absent from the device, it is unlikely to feature a fingerprint scanner.

There is no information available on the specifications of the Galaxy Tab S4. The tablet is expected to be fueled by Snapdragon 835 chipset and 4 GB of RAM.

It is speculated that the Galaxy Tab S4 will also carry support for Samsung DeX. The South Korean company has recently confirmed that it will be holding the Unpacked event on Aug. 9. The event is expected to unleash the Galaxy Note 9 phablet. Hence, the company may announce the Galaxy Tab S4 at the IFA 2018 tech trade show.

Starting with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, Samsung flagships can be used as a desktop PC via a dedicated dock called Samsung DeX. For the first time, Samsung will bring the feature to a tablet – the upcoming Galaxy Tab S4.

The Galaxy Tab S4 is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy Note 9 on August 9. Apart from packing flagship features such as a Snapdragon 835 processor, it will also double as a desktop computer when connected to the dock.

The news comes from SamMobile and they say it will be the first DeX-supported device to have a dual-monitor feature. This lets you use the tablet screen as a second display when docked.

The DeX Pad or DeX Station lets you plug in a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for a full desktop experience. Your Android apps will launch in full screen and can be resized into smaller windows for better multi-tasking.

Samsung will likely launch a new Galaxy Tab soon and it will be the most powerful one from the Korean manufacturer. The Samsung SM-T835 a.k.a. Galaxy Tab S4 was benchmarked today and the result confirms a key component.

A device with the same model number was benchmarked on AnTuTu about three months ago. The benchmark result revealed the device has an Adreno 540 GPU and a CPU clocked at 2.3GHz. There is only one mobile SoC that has the above features and that is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835.

The device has now appeared on Geekbench, and the site confirms the Tab S4 is indeed powered by an MSM8998 processor which is also known as the Snapdragon 835. Geekbench also reveals the tablet will have 4GB of RAM.

The Galaxy Tab S3 which launched last April has a Snapdragon 820 processor and also 4GB of RAM. Its successor will not only have a more-powerful chipset but also a larger 10.5-inch display as against the Tab S3’s 9.7-inch screen.

AnTuTu also revealed that the front camera has been upgraded to 8MP but the rear camera is now a 12MP sensor. It may actually launch as 13MP. The Galaxy Tab S4 will have LTE support and 64GB of storage. Although it still won’t have NFC.

Samsung had launched the Galaxy Tab S3 tablet at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in February last year. It is a known fact that the tablet industry is declining.

Since the LTE variant of the Galaxy Tab S3 has a model number of SM-T825, it is likely that the SM-T835 that has surfaced on the benchmarking platform could be the Galaxy Tab S4.

The Samsung SM-T835’s GFXBench listing shows that the slate features 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display that will be supporting resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. An octa-core chipset featuring a 2.3 GHz octa-core processor and Adreno 540 graphics powers the tablet. This indicates that the tablet will be fueled by Snapdragon 835.

The SoC will be coupled with 4 GB of RAM and it will be arriving with a native storage of 64 GB. For photography, it is likely to arrive with a rear-mounted camera of 12-megapixel. Its front-facing camera is of 8-megapixel. It will be arriving preloaded with Android 8.0 Oreo. The leaked specs suggest that the Galaxy Tab S4 could be the most powerful tablet from the company.

Like the predecessor model, it may also arrive in a Wi-Fi only model. It is also expected to carry support for AKG tuned speakers, S Pen stylus and keyboard. There is no information available on its pricing and availability.
