Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 release may happen at the announcement of Galaxy Tab S Pro.
While Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 rumors are making the rounds online, it seemed that the South Korea-based tech company is also prepping the release of another tablet. According to Samsung-centric website SamMobile, the company filed for the Tab S Pro on July 3 in order to protect the name. This will protect the name from other manufacturers from using it.
This practice is no longer new as companies do this all the time in order to protect nomenclature of its future devices.
While there is no further detail about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Pro, it is purported that the device is the even larger versions of the Galaxy Tab S. There are also whispers that the Galaxy Tab S Pro could be Samsung's entry to the laplet market or a hybrid of tablet and laptop.
Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 release is closer to reality than before as Korean website Blog of Mobile reported that Galaxy Tab S2 models have received certification from Radio Research Agency (RRA), the Korean agency affiliated with the Korean Communications Commission (KCC), which is an agency equivalent to FCC in the US.
The two Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 variants have model numbers SM-T715 and SM-T815 that refers to the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and 9.7, respectively. Last year's models of the original Galaxy Tab S have model numbers SM-T700 and SM-800.
The screen displays of the tablets got slightly smaller as Samsung is reportedly aiming for more compact-friendly tablets this year. Both tablets will feature Samsung's trademark AMOLED display, a 2048 x 1536 screen resolution, and 4:3 aspect ratio.
Other rumored features of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablets are octa-core Exynos SoC, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, 8MP rear camera and 2.1MP front-facing shooter. Moreover, the tablets will have Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi plus LTE variants.
