Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 release will happen soon as the two variants of the said tablet are now certified in Korea.
Samsung-centric website SamMobile cited Korean website Blog of Mobile which 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.
While no official Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 release has been announced yet, the certification is a clear indication that the tablets are coming soon. Some reports claimed that the tablets will be announced in July or August. Other reports claimed that the new tablet will be launched in October to battle head on with Apple's iPad line. It may hit South Korea first, but it will be available in the US as well.
Upon releasing the new tablet, Samsung hopes to pick up its tablet line and gain profits. However, Samsung kept mum about the launch of the device.
