Samsung is reported to release the tablet device Galaxy Tab S3 soon. Not much is known about it for now but rumors have it that it will be released sometime in September.

According to a report, the Galaxy Tab S2 successor is said to debut a day before the IFA 2016, which is scheduled to take place beginning Sept. 2 until Sept. 7. This means that the purported tablet will come out on Sept. 1.

This information actually came from famous Russian tipster Eldar Murtazin who posted a tweet saying that the device will be unveiled on the first day of September. But since this is not confirmed by Samsung, it's best to take this detail with a pinch of salt.

And if the rumor does turn out to be true, the tablet is a little later compared to its predecessor that came out in July 2015. Details about the specs and features of the Galaxy Tab S3 are scarce but word has it that it will be coming out with two variants.

One will carry an 8.0-inch display while the other one will have a 9.7-inch display. Both models will have a 2,048 x 1,536 pixels screen resolution with Super AMOLED screen technology. It is also said that the Galaxy Tab S tablet will carry an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chipset with four Cortex-A72 CPU cores. Aside from that, it will have four Cortex-A53 CPU cores onboard.

It's also reported to feature an Adreno 510 GPU with 3 GB of RAM and a built-in storage that is 32 GB in capacity. A microSD card slot is predicted to be present since its predecessor owned one. Other rumors claim that it will have an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera.

The design is also said to be somewhat similar to the Galaxy Tab S2. It may also be packed with Android Nougat for its operating system. More details are expected to be revealed soon so interested consumers will have to stay tuned for more updates.
