The market for tablets isn't exactly doing well at the moment because the demand for digital slabs is going down significantly with each passing month. That however, is not going to stop the highly anticipated Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016 reboot from coming out later this month. The 8.2mm thick and 525 grams heavy Android tablet will come in two models, SM-T580 and SM-T585. The T580 will be a Wi-Fi only device, while the T585 will have support for LTE networks (up to 300Mbps).
Both models of the device will share more or less the same hardware, starting with the 1080p IPS display and one of Samsung's own octacore Cortex-A53 processors clocked at 1.6GHz (Exynos 7870 SoC). There may also be 2 gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of internal storage. Rumors indicate that the Tab A might have support for external memory cards, as per the new trend by Samsung. A modest 8-megapixel snapper may be seen on the back of the tablet, while a tiny 2-megapixel sensor in front of the phone will have to do. Strangely enough, the bottom firing twin speakers are both on the same side. All the hardware will be powered by a promising 7,300mAh battery.
Other rumors are suggesting that in Europe, the T580 and the T585 will very soon be sold for €289 and €349 respectively. Experts suspect that the Wi-Fi only T580 will take a little longer to go on sale (June), as compared to the Wi-Fi/LTE enabled T585 (late May). Before you start to draw conclusions, let us warn you that these are still rumors, albeit very realistic ones. Nothing about what you just read is official yet and is largely based on unconfirmed reports and a recently "leaked" render of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016.

Over the years, the import tracking site Zauba has revealed countless devices to us and this time it's the Galaxy Tab S3 which was sited. It isn't uncommon for unreleased gadgets to be sent to India for R&D purposes, especially when it comes to Samsung. Here we see the LTE variant of the Galaxy Tab S3 with the model number SM-T825 along with a price tag. However, the Tab S3 will probably be priced higher than ₹34,138 ($503 approximately) mentioned in the description.
There will also be a Wi-Fi only variant of the Tab S3 (SM-T820) with a lower price tag but otherwise identical specs. Speaking of specs, we have little to no idea about what Samsung will bring to the market with its next flagship tablet, other than the fact that it will sport a Super AMOLED 9.7-inch 2K display just like its predecessor. Rumors suggest that the Tab S3 will possibly be released in early 2017, but it can get delayed due to the negative impact which the Note 7 disaster had on Samsung.

Samsung is going to release a (2015 Edition) of its Original Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 that was released last year. The Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (2015 Edition) will have model number SM-T533 and will pack a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 chipset and running Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
We got the full Specs list of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (2015 Edition) SM-T533 that was was spotted on the Bluetooth database and judging by the model number, the new Tab 4 10.1 should also be running on the Snapdragon 410 chipset.
There is only one more member from the Tab 4 lineup the Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, which we bet would be getting a 64-bit upgrade as well.
Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (2015) Specs

It looks like Samsung will soon reveal a successor to its Galaxy Tab S line-up (Galaxy Tab S 8.4 - Galaxy Tab S 10.5). The upcoming 2015 line-up will be called "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2" and Samsung around opted to use 4:3 aspect ratios this time, favored by Apple for all of its iPads, and by Google recently for the Nexus 9.
The Leaked Specifications belongs to Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" (Model number SM-T815) which will pack a 9.7-inch touchscreen with 2,048x1,536 resolution, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, an 8MP rear camera, and a 2MP front snapper. Ignore the 9.6" listing for screen size, as this particular benchmark can get that wrong sometimes.
The Tab S2 runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, and it's powered by one of Samsung's own Exynos chipsets, which has a big.LITTLE CPU configuration, with four Cortex-A57 cores and four Cortex-A53 ones. The maximum clock speed is 1.9 GHz. The GPU is a hexa-core Mali-T760MP6. So the SoC has been updated from the Exynos 5420 in the original Tab S tablets, which had older Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 cores. Meanwhile, the RAM amount has stayed the same, as have the cameras.
We might see this 9.7 Tab S2 released officially during the Q2,2015, it may get announced on March,1st along with the Galaxy S6.

Samsung has been testing an updated version of the Galaxy Tab 4 family for quite some time. The Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 was the first spotted running a brand new CPU and now rumors about the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 following suit have been confirmed.
The update in question has to do with the chipset. The old Snapdragon 400 is being swapped with a new 64-bit 410 model. While this is no major performance upgrade, the newer silicon is 64-bit, thus futureproofing the device and preparing it for the benefits of a Lollipop update.

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) April 7, 2015
The rest of the specs sheet remains completely unchanged and so does the price tag. The device still comes with 1.5GB of RAM and a spacious but low-res 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display.

The Upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 5 has been leaked on a Chinese website, This means the line-up is coming very soon from the Korean giant.
According to the enclosed specifications, the pair of devices will come equipped with an 8.0-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. Both will also feature quad-core CPUs, clocked at 1.2 GHz, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage.
In terms of dimensions, the Tab 5 will be thinner than the previous Galaxy Tab 4, but perhaps, a little shorter and wider. The certification pages for both models seem to show little difference between then, so at this point, we can't really be sure what their main distinction will be. The SM-P355C is listed as being a little heavier and only with white color as an option, although its picture clearly shows a different pallet.
The camera setup on the P variant is also described in more detail. The tablet should come with a 5MP main shooter and a 2MP front one. Judging from the photos, the SM-T355C will also come with two cameras, most probably the same. Undoubtedly, both models will run Android Lollipop out of the box and if rumors are to be belied, will also come with a stylus, better known as S Pen, just like Samsung's Note series. It will, allegedly, reside in a slot neat the upper right corner of the Galaxy Tab 5.

Details about a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 2 series has been confirmed today. According to a recently published report, the 4G LTE enabled version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 2 9.7 (SM-T815, SM-T817) has received both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth certification. While this particular model carries a 9.7-inch screen, a version of the slate with a smaller 8-inch glass was imported into India last month by Samsung for testing. The company plans on destroying the tablet once it is done with it.
The details that have leaked thus far reveal that both the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 2 8.0 and the Samsung Galaxy S 2 9.7 will be the slimmest tablets available with a thickness of just 5.4mm. Both tablets will feature a Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and an aspect ratio of 4:3. The home grown Exynos 5433 CPU is expected to be under the hood with 3GB of RAM inside. Back and front-facing cameras weigh in at 8MP and 2.1MP respectively and a 3850mAh battery will keep both models running. Android 5.0.2 is pre-installed.
The Bluetooth certification for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 2 9.7 shows that it will support Bluetooth 4.1. This particular document also reveals other variants of the tablet. Besides the SM-T815, there will be the SM-T815C, the SM-T817A and SM-T817V. The other versions of the slate could be for different regions, and for a Wi-Fi only version of the tablet. The SM-T715, SM-T715C, SM-T717A and SM-717V are the model numbers that will be used for the smaller 8-inch version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 2. The tablets will replace the currently offered Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5.

We already posted News about the Upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 line-up which is rumored to be released during this year (2015) with new Super AMOLED displays. We published the full list of leaked specifications of the 9.7" variant.
Today, We got another leak claims that the Dimensions of the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" variant will be 237.17 x 169.58 x 5.5 mm. The rumor also suggests a similar design to the Galaxy S6.
(Update) #Samsung's 9.7" Galaxy Tab S2 = Galaxy S6 inspired design ≃ 237.17x169.58x5.5mm
— OnLeaks (@OnLeaks) April 23, 2015
According to these rumored Dimensions, the Galaxy Tab S2 will be only about 5.5mm thin across its waist. If this rumor is true, this will be one of Samsung's thinnest tablets ever made, it will even be the the World's slimmest tablet. At the moment, the Dell Venue 8 7000 holds this title with a waist of just 6.0 mm, followed by the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet at 6.1 mm.

Today, the unannounced Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 made its way through TENAA in China. The successor of Galaxy Tab S 8.4 sports the model number SM-T715.
Specs-wise, the Tab S2 features a 1.9GHz octa-core CPU (the chipset is likely to be an Exynos 7420), 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of expandable memory. The display is an 8" AMOLED unit with 4:3 ratio and 2048 x 1536 pixels. An 8MP main camera, 2MP front-facing unit, and optional LTE connectivity are also on board.
With measures of 198.2 x 134.5 x 5.4mm, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 could become the thinnest tablet in its segment. The device weighs 260 grams. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 should arrive in 2 variants 8.0" and 9.7" later this quarter.

The first press renders of the upcoming long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has been leaked online. The images shows a two variants, one with 8-inch display and another one with 9.7-inch display tablets.
Both versions of the tablet will feature a screen with 4:3 ratio and a resolution with 2048 x 1536 pixels the same as the one found in the Apple iPad family. The 9.7" Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 will debut with the model number SM-T810, while the 8" variant will carry the SM-T710 moniker. The tablet is rumored to be only 5.4mm thin.
Specs-wise, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is expected to pack the same 64-bit Exynos 7420 SoC as the Samsung Galaxy S6, coupled with 3GB. The chipset is among the most powerful solutions currently on the market, thus meaning that the slates won't lack hardware oomph.
We already posted the first Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Android 5.0.2 Lollipop firmware few days ago. The device is expected to be announced by next week.

Samsung has announced its Thinnest and Lightest tablet ever, the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" and Galaxy Tab S2 8.0" today. The two variants are launching with Lollipop pre-installed and many other features, all the details revealed below.
"The Galaxy Tab S2 is not only our thinnest and lightest tablet of its size ever, it also gives users quick, easy access to a wealth of superior viewing and productivity features, We believe the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is the most complete personal visual device designed for consumers to carry and use anywhere." - said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Division at Samsung.
Specs-wise, the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 sports a 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display, packs in a 5870mAh battery, and weighs in at 389g. Rest of its specifications are same as that of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. Both variants are available in Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi and LTE configurations, come with a touch-enabled Fingerprint Scanner, and offer Multitasking.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 is powered by an octa-core processor (quad 1.9GHz + quad 1.3GHz), and sports an 8-inch Super AMOLED display with 1536 x 2048 pixels resolution. It comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB/64GB expandable internal storage options, and packs in a 4000mAh battery. Both variants will launch this month with a price tag that start from $450.

Samsung has announced its thinnest and lightest tablet ever, Galaxy Tab S2 just few days ago. The device is launching with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop pre-installed.
The Galaxy Tab S2 9.7-inch and 8-inch variants is available as Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi and LTE configurations. Starting from today it can be pre-ordered from Samsung's website in the Netherlands.
As for the price, the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 Wi-Fi model can be pre-ordered for €399 ($438), while the 9.7-inch Wi-Fi variant can be reserved for €499 ($548). Color options include black for the former and both black and white for the latter. Shipments will begin on September,3rd.

We know that the Galaxy Tab S3 is probably going to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress next month and now we have an idea about its specifications from a reliable source. GFXBench has given us info on unreleased handsets and tablets before and they have mostly been true. Going by that standard, what you see below is possibly going to be the specs that the Tab S3 will be sporting in Barcelona at the MWC 2017.
Display: 9.6-inch with 2,048×1536 pixel resolution
SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 clocked at 2.1GHz/1.6GHz with Adreno 530 GPU
RAM: 4GB
Internal Storage 32GB (24GB available for the users)
Camera: 12-megapixel rear camera
Android OS: Nougat 7.0
OpenGL API: OpenGL ES 3.2
OpenCL API - GPU: Open CL 2.0
Samsung, along with the rest of the OEMs have clearly minimized the number of tablets which they release now, so it can be arguably assumed that they hav no plans to release a smaller version of the Tab S3 next month like it did with the Tab S2 in certain regions. This strategy may change in the future though. Check out the screenshot below to get detailed information on what was revealed.

We knew that the Galaxy Tab S3 was going to be the unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and as expected, we were right. Samsung's email invitation to the media houses for the MWC confirmed that piece of info by containing a teaser preview of the upcoming tablet's bottom bezel. Since Samsung has now confirmed that the Galaxy S8 won't be making an appearance at this event, the Tab S3 will in all likelihood be the company's main attraction in Barcelona.
Samsung will hold its unveiling event at 7PM CET, on the 26th of February where it may or may not showcase a few other smartphones as well. Just in case you are wondering what kind of hardware the Tab S3 will be packing, we have you covered.
9.6-inch 2,048 x 1,535 pixels display
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC
4GB of RAM
32GB of internal storage
13-megapixel/5-megapixel rear and front cameras
Although the specs mentioned above are gathered from a recent rumor that originated in Korea, the chances of them being right are pretty high.

Feast your eyes on the upcoming Galaxy Tab S3, as posted by Roland Quandt also known on Twitter as @rquandt. If this picture is showing the real deal, then the Tab S3 will indeed be supporting an S-Pen this year. In fact, the leak also assures that the stylus will be bundled in the package instead of being sold as an accessory. In case you have not checked out the other leaked specifications of the Galaxy Tab S3 yet, do so now.

Although the Galaxy S8 won\'t be available for purchase until mid-April, we have news regarding the Tab S3 which Samsung is going to launch in a week or so, at the MWC 2017 in Barcelona. There are also a few recent snippets on other subjects which you might like.
Metal-glass build for the Galaxy Tab S3
In a live image of the upcoming Galaxy Tab S3, leaked by the Taiwan National Communication Propagation Committee (NCC), a metal and glass build for the tablet was revealed. Samsung had submitted the tablet to them as a part of the regulatory pre-release approval in the country. The Tab S3 now has the certification number CCAH17LP0380T2 in Taiwan and should be available for purchase from early next month.
Gear VR with a Controller
Check out this Gear VR headset which is rumoured to come out with the Galaxy S8 and S8+ next month. According to this leak by Roland Quandt, the new VR headset will have the model number SM-R324 and \"a single hand controller.\" We will have to wait and see if Samsung incorporates the controller with the VR headset in the same way Google did it with their wireless controller and the DayDream VR.
Exynos 9810
We knew that Samsung is probably going to shift to Exynos series 9 from 2017 for its flagship SoC range, but thanks to an Indian intern\'s LinkedIn profile, we may also have the model number; Exynos 9810. The rumoured 9810M is supposed to have a more powerful Mali G-71 GPU with 20 cores, while the 9810V could have the slightly less powerful version of the same GPU, with 18 cores.
That\'s it for now, but stay tuned as we will bring you more as soon as there\'s more to bring to you.

The Galaxy Tab S3 Android tablet was launched by Samsung as expected at the MWC, but so were two other tablets. The tab S3 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 9.7-ich QXGA Super AMOLED display, 32GB of internal storage, expandable micro-SD card slot, 13-mp and 5-mp cameras at the rear and the front, 4G LTE, 6,000mAh battery with Quick Charge support, USB Type-C and the new S-Pen with "tilt" detection.
Both the Galaxy Books are powered by Windows 10 and come with keyboard docs for added productivity. The low-powered 10-inch version comes with a Full HD 10.6-inch LCD display, a 7th-generation Intel Core m3 processor, 4GB RAM, 5-mp front cam, 64GB/128GB storage and expandable MMC support. The more powerful Galaxy Book 12 features a Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2160×1440 pixels. Powering it are a 7th Gen. Intel Core i5 (Kaby Lake) dual-core processor clocked at 3.1GHz, 4GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of SSD storage with MMC support. Both the Windows devices will have support for the advanced S-Pen and all its features. In order to take advantage of the stylus, along with some added features, the two Windows tablet-laptop hybrids will come with quite a few pre-installed Samsung software suits.

The Galaxy tab S3 is one of the premier Android tablets in a world where Android tablets are becoming rarer with each passing year. Most companies have stopped manufacturing premium tablets and even the companies like Samsung that do release a model every now and then, have stopped releasing them outside a few selected regions. However, with the Tab S3 just being released in Russia, fans from other countries can have their hopes up a bit too. Both the LTE and the Wi-Fi only variants have now been listed on the company's website in Russia.
Unfortunately, the price of the tablet in Russia is alarmingly higher than what it costs in the US or the UK. The 32GB Tab S3 costs around $599 officially in the US, while the same variant will cost someone picking it up in Russia, a whopping $965/RUB 54,990! That's $365 more than the US version, but they are identical to each other in every way. I am not sure how much of that is import duty, but whatever the reason may be, if the price difference is that much in your country as well, you are probably better off avoiding it. The Google Pixel will likely be a better deal if you can leave without the S-Pen, provided that's even available in your region of course.

It might not have been even released in your country yet, but the Galaxy Tab S3 is already receiving the first official update in the regions where it is available. The update is the April security patch which contains both the Android SMR for the month and Samsung's own little tweaks to cull out bugs and security gaps. The OTA package should arrive on your tablet anytime now, with the build number T825XXU1AQD6.
Given that the Galaxy Tab S3 already runs on the latest version of Android Nougat 7.0 that has yet been released by Samsung so far for any device, it isn't really a surprise that the update contains only the monthly patch. Besides, there have been no reports of the Tab S3 showing any signs of faltering anywhere to warrant a major firmware upgrade either. Although the SD 820 SoC powering the device is over a year old now, the waning market of Android tablets doesn't really have anything better to offer and therefore, it is arguably the number one Android tablet in the market, with the only other competition coming from the much older Google Pixel C.
If you are impatient about the update, feel free to try out some of the firmware packages for the Tab S3 from our firmware section.

The Galaxy Tab A (2017) was launched just last month and it has now made its way into Indian markets in October. The affordable tablet costs exactly INR 17,999 in the country, which is equivalent to roughly $275. Targeted only towards developing markets like India and Vietnam, the Tab A (2017) will provide a decent alternative to people who do not want to shell out INR 47,999 (roughly $736) for the high end Galaxy Tab S3.
Unfortunately, while the 8.0-inch tablet looks decent enough, the internals are nothing to write home about. Nevertheless, if you are interested in taking a look at the key specs, they are listed below.
8-inch WXGA (1280×800) LCD display
Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC
2GB RAM
16GB of internal storage
8-megapixel and 5-megapixel rear and front cameras
5,000 mAh battery
USB Type-C port, Android 7.1.1, dedicated Kids Mode, 4G LTE connectivity
Black and Gold color options
As you can see, the spec sheet looks something that would be dated even in 2014! Then again, in countries like India, the brand name sells the product more than the internal spec sheet and Samsung understands that well enough.

Samsung doesn't follow any set rules while rolling out the security patches and that seems to be a trend which will continue in 2018 as well. This month, it was the turn of the Galaxy Tab A (2016) to be the first device in the company's arsenal to be updated with the January patch. If you think about it, it's not very often that Samsung rolls out a security patch this early in the month, but nobody's complaining!
As per reports, firmware version T285DDU0AQL3 is being rolled out to the Galaxy Tab A (2016) aka SM-T285. The even more surprising fact is that the patch has begun rolling out in Bangladesh; a region not known for getting the first updates from Samsung. Given that the old tablet is still running on Android Lollipop 5.1.1, it's both surprising and good to see good that Samsung is still keeping it protected against security threats.
Head over to our firmware section to find all the latest available updates for your Samsung smartphones and tablets.

If you thought that tablets are way too flimsy, Samsung has just released the Galaxy Tab Active 2 which can take a hit and then some! Exclusive to the US, the device is internally the same as any other Galaxy Tab 2, but on the outside, it's quite literally a beast. The MIL-STD 810 certification guarantees that the Galaxy Tab Active 2 can survive through high pressure, extreme temperatures (hot or cold), rapid vibrations and even drops from heights that would shatter other lesser tablets. Additionally, it also sports a standard IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
While we all would like our devices to be a bit sturdier than they generally are, this may seem a bit excessive to many, until they realize that Samsung has a specific crowd in mind for the Galaxy Tab Active 2. Apparently, this is tablet for employees who must work in the harshest of conditions. While targeted primarily at businesses, those that love camping, trekking and mountaineering might have use for the tab Active 2 as well.

Wi-Fi Alliance has long been the site where upcoming phones and tablets have been leaked at during the certification process and this time, it was time for the upcoming Galaxy Tab S4 to make an appearance on the site for its Wi-Fi certification.
Granted that this isn't much of a leak since we already knew that the Tab S4 is coming, but its appearance on the site suggests that the tablet might not be as far away from release as was rumored previously. The tablet seen on the site is indeed the Tab S4 with model number SM-T835 and possibly a 10.5-inch QHD display at 16:10 ratio. Unfortunately, just like all previous tablets by Samsung, it will be powered by an outdated flagship chip, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. There will also be 4 GB of RAM onboard, backed by 64GB internal storage and a possible expansion slot for a micro-SD card. SamMobile suggests that the Galaxy Tab S4 could be making an appearance at the IFA in August - September 2018.

In a time when even Samsung smartphones are having a hard time in terms of maintaining good sales numbers, in what is being considered as a surprising move the Korean giant has decided to release a mid-range tablet, aka Galaxy Tab S5e. While it is a mid-ranger for sure, the tablet is the world's slimmest at only 5.5mm thickness. Go through the pictures and the main specs below to know more.
· 5.5mm thick and 400g in weight
· 10.5-inch 2560 x 1600 Super AMOLED panel in 16:9 ratio
· 7,040mAh battery (14.5 hours screen on time expected)
· four speakers tuned by AKG with support for Dolby Atmos
· fingerprint sensor in power button
· Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 octacore processor
· RAM: 4GB/6GB Internal storage: 64GB and 128GB
· 13-mp rear camera (4K recording at 30fps) and 8-mp front camera
· Accessories (not included): Book Cover/Keyboard, charging dock, slim cover, plain book cover
· S-Pen is probably not included
· Color options: silver, gold, and black
· Availability: March, 2019

The 8-inch Galaxy Tab A has support for the S-Pen and is named "Galaxy Tab A with S Pen 8.0" apparently, which is as straightforward as it comes! Check out some of the key specs of the device below.
· 8-inch 1920×1200 LCD display
· Exynos 7904 SoC
· 3GB RAM
· 32GB internal storage with expandable external storage
· 8-mp rear camera and 5-mp selfie cam
· 4,200mAh battery
· IP68 water and dust resistance rating
· Older generation S-Pen (slides into the tablet)
· Will likely come in black and grey
What do you think of the device? Do you think it's worth a look once Samsung announces the price?

When it comes to tablets, there is just no competition between what Apple has to offer and what Google and all its partners have on the market at the moment. Sure, the Galaxy Tab S series has always been a premium one and they are all excellent, but they do not compare to what the iPad Airs, iPad Minis and iPad Pros have to offer.
However, if we skipped the iOS comparison and looked solely at the Galaxy Tab S5e as a just released mid-end Android tablet (that has been released before the flagship Tab S5 for some reason), it's good, bt not great. The Tab S5e falls short due to one continuing inherited flaw that we will discuss later on.
While you can easily look up reviews on Google, let's make the decision easy for you by pointing out the most important factors which will matter to most users.
· Qualcomm SD 670 SoC with Adreno 615: Dated chip with decent performance
· 10.5", 1600 x 2560, Super AMOLED, 16:10 display with slim bezels
· 4GB RAM and 64GBinternal storage/6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage
· A more improved version of Dex and a keyboard cover makes it a decent laptop look-alike (NOT a replacement)
· Expandable storage up to 1TB
· Quad Stereo Speakers
· 7,040mAh battery with 18W quick charger
Costs about $400 for the 4GB/64GB variant
If you are looking for an Android tablet with an excellent display and great sound for watching content on the go, you just can't go wrong with the Tab S5E.
Unfortunately, Samsung's insistence on using dated chips in their tablets continue and the SD 670 is a deal breaker for me at least. Don't get me wrong, it can play games, run movies and most apps just fine, but it makes no sense to buy the Tab S5e with that underpowered chip for $400+, when you can buy the iPad Mini at just $399.
The Mini has one of the most powerful chips in the market at the moment, a great display (although the OLED display on the S5e is better) and a plethora of apps that has been exclusively redesigned for the iPads. Even the iPad Air starts at $499, which is in my opinion a better deal than the S5e, even if you have to pay the extra $100 for it, to not lose out on the screen real estate.
If you must buy an Android tablet from Samsung, just wait it out till they release the Tab S5, which will in all likelihood, be a premium device with another dated chip from last year, but significantly more powerful compared to the S5e.

The Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and the Tab S3 have High Dynamic Range or HDR capabilities, but due to lack of quality content, that has not been put into full effect so far. That's about to change though as Google's own Play Movies & TV will now support HDR on these devices. The extremely bright QHD+ Super AMOLED displays are perfect for watching HDR content on them so it's definitely good news if you own any of the devices.
The only thing is that the HDR content is only available in the US and Canada at the moment but it should soon be making its way into India and the UK as well. Rest assured that wherever you are in the world, you will most definitely be getting the same treatment sooner or later, provided that Google Play Movies & TV are available in your location of course. There are a few catches though and they are as follows.
1. The 4K HDR content in the library is only limited to a few movies like Batman Vs. Superman and The Amazing Spiderman 2 at the moment.
2. There's only one Android smartphone/tablet out there with 4K resolution and HDR support; the Sony Xperia XZ Premium
3. You will be spending a lot of data by streaming 4K content and a superfast internet connection with excellent download speeds is necessary to do that.

Samsung has just officially announced the Galaxy Tab E with model number (SM-T560), the tablet is low-end device with a low price and decent features. The Korean giant announced the device in Taiwan, the Galaxy Tab E is 8.5mm-thin, weighs 490 grams, and sports a 9.6-inch TFT display with 800 x 1280 pixels. The new slate is powered by a quad-core 1.3 GHz processor possibly a Spreadtrum SC7730SE, However, Samsung didn't confirm this yet.
Apparently running Android KitKat (instead of Lollipop), the Tab E comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office apps. It further offers a 2 MP front-facing camera, a 5 MP rear camera, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage space, and microSD card support. The tablet has a 5000 mAh battery, which, given the rest of the features, should provide a decent usage time.
The Tab E SM-T560 is a Wi-Fi-only device, but Samsung should also introduce a Galaxy Tab E SM-T561 with 3G connectivity. The Wi-Fi-only model costs around $225 in Taiwan, where it should be released before the end of this month.
We assume that the Galaxy Tab E will be launched by Samsung in other markets, but for now there's no official info about this, for now. Stay tuned!

In the past 4 years, Samsung released 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12-inch tablets. Compared to every other tablet out there, they are positively huge.
According to leaked shipments documents, The Korean giant is currently testing an 18.4-inch Galaxy Tab Prototype slate. What you see in the image above is the fact that such a huge tablet has entered India for testing and evaluation purposes. After it's gone through those tests and finished its evaluations and then it is going to be destroyed.
That's a big if, though. With such a huge screen, this would be very much into niche territory, and a rather small niche at that. Still, for some commercial settings even this size could work. Which might be the reason for Samsung to think about releasing it. Let's wait and see.

Rumores around a gigantic Samsung tablet with 18.4-inch screen is circling around, its existence was the only thing revealed. Latest reports suggests that this tablet is real and set to launch before the end of this year.
The device is called Samsung Galaxy Tab 18.4 with model number (SM-T670), it's not clear yet what Galaxy Tab family this tablet will be included in (Galaxy Tab 5, Galaxy Tab S or Galaxy TabPRO). What we know so far that it will pack a 18.4-inch TFT LCD touch screen (not sAMOLED) with just 1080p resolution (which is only about 120ppi pixel density, very low). The tablet should also sport the Exynos 7580 SoC with a 1.6 GHz octa-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, an 8MP rear camera, a 2.1 MP front-facing unit, and a 5700mAh battery.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 18.4 will launch with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out-of-the-box, and its dimensions are said to be 451.8 x 275.8 x 11.9 mm. There's currently no telling when we'll see it in stores, or how much it will cost. Though with that size we assume this will be targeted at some pretty niche use-cases.

While most users are eagerly waiting to get their Android devices updated to Marshmallow, there are some still stuck on KitKat. For example, Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 has not yet got any OS update, although last year it was launched with the Android 4.4. Hence, an owner of this tablet finally used Twitter to get the answer from Samsung's arm in the UK about a Lollipop or Marshmallow update for the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4.
The response from the Korean giant was "no". This tablet will never see an OS upgrade. So no Android 5.0, 5.1 or 6.0 for the device. This essentially means support for this tab has terminated from Samsung's point of view. It's an interesting news, especially considering that the not much newer Galaxy Tab S 8.4 has at least Lollipop. This was done way back in April and it seems Tab Pro won't have the same luck.
As a final word of advice, just remember that this information might only be valid for tablets sold in the UK, as it's Samsung's UK branch delivering this disappointing news. That said it is almost certain that there won't be any OS update for Tab Pro in any other region.

We have further good news for Verizon customers as more Marshmallow updates begin to roll out from Verizon. This time, the carrier is updating the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to Marshmallow after it rolled out the same for the S5 yesterday. Even though this is the first tablet from Samsung to get the latest version of the OS, it may not be the last (hopefully!).
After downloading and installing the package, users will be able to add pictures and drawings in the Tab S2's Memo app. Also expected are customary new functions that come with most Android M updates like app permissions management, Google Now on Tap and Doze. Apparently, the Tab S2 will also get a few interesting added features in its gallery and email applications.
You can check manually for the update from Settings> About device> Check for updates if you want to, but you should any way be notified automatically once the update arrives on your smartphone Over The Air. Post the download and the installation of the update file, your Galaxy Tab S2's firmware version will change to MMB29K.T817VVRU2BPE1 and the base Android version will upgrade to Android Marshmallow.

It has now been officially confirmed by Samsung Mobile's Netherlands division that the Galaxy Tab S won't be upgraded to Android Marshmallow. This news came as a bit of a surprise to us as we were pretty sure that the tablet was going to get the update. Our belief on the matter was of course, based on rumors, but also the fact that we had seen a few screenshots of the Tab S running on Android 6.0.1 on certain websites.
The reasons as to why Samsung took this decision are unknown to us at the moment, but it could be due to the fact that they might have decided on the effort being more work than they had previously anticipated. It could also be a result of bad information on the part of the websites that originally reported the news. All we know for sure is that neither the 8.4-inch Tab S, nor the 10.5-inch one will be getting the update in Europe as per the page's official post on Facebook. If something does change, we will be sure to inform you. In the meanwhile, it looks like if you want to run Android M on your Tab S, your only hope is the modding community now.

Android Marshmallow has finally arrived for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 on AT&T and it brings familiar features such as Doze Mode, Google Now on Tap, customizable app permissions and an overall better performance to the tablet. However we really liked NumberSync in particular, which is exclusive to the AT&T users. If you are lucky enough to own a Tab S2 from AT&T, the NumberSync functionality will now allow you to use your tablet as a phone and you will be able to make calls from it even when your smartphone is not near the device.
We suggest the use of Wi-Fi for downloading the update when it arrives on your tablet and you are auto-notified. Alternately of course, feel free to check for the update manually by going into Settings > About device > Software update > Check for updates. Once you are notified about the update and you are done with the download, there should be at least 70% - 80% battery left on your Tab S2 before you start upgrading to Android M. After the upgrade, your phone's Baseband version should now change to T817AUCU2BPF2 and the base Android version should show Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

Google Now on Tap, Doze and customizable app permissions will all be available on the Galaxy Tab A soon as Samsung finally begins to roll out the much awaited Android M 6.0.1 update to the tablet. Reports from Australia earlier informed the world of this news, but we are not yet sure which other regions have started to receive the upgrade at this time. Nonetheless, we are pretty sure that wherever you are, if you own a Galaxy Tab A, you will get the update, sooner or later.
As always, it is advised that you fire up your Wi-Fi to download the huge 1.1GB package and make sure that you have enough battery before you try and install it on your Galaxy Tab A. Post the update, you should be able to see a brand new app drawer interface and your overall experience should be much smoother. Be sure to check for the update from Settings > About device > Software Update. If you have not been notified about the update by your phone or you cannot find it even after checking manually, do not worry, the update has not yet arrived on your tablet yet.

While it isn't surprising to know that an upgrade to Android Nougat is being prepared for the Galaxy Note 5 as Samsung did mention that they were going to do so earlier, it's good to know that they have included the Galaxy Tab S2 in their Nougat update list as well. Reports from reliable sources are indicating that a firmware based on Android N is being prepared for the both the devices right now. Unfortunately, no one can confirm when the firmware will be ready for OTA rollouts. If we were to guess, we would say that it won't be until we are well into 2017.
In the meanwhile, Samsung is already testing out the beta versions of its Android 7.0 based firmware on a limited number of Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphones. In fact, those that have been selected for the Galaxy Beta Program have already started to receive the second build of the firmware via a second OTA update as you read this. For a complete review of the current Nougat 7.0 UX running on the S7/S7 Edge, check out this awesome video by XEETECHCARE.
