Galaxy Tab S3 launch is near and here are all the updates on specs and release date!

Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 specifications leaked

The latest update on Samsung's upcoming tablet suggests that the 9.7-inch device will have 4 GB RAM on board, according to Phone Arena. An Exynos 7420 chipset will be powering Tab S3 along with 8 MP and 2 MP camera sensors. The battery will reportedly pack 4,000 mAh capacity.

Samsung brings a few modern-day features to the flagship tablet - starting from the USB type C port, a fingerprint sensor; to the UFS 2.0. Universal flash storage offers a significantly faster performance; ideal for mobile devices.

According to the leaked information, Galaxy Tab S3 is said to be launched in two models, Wi-Fi and LTE. As per report from Sammobile two weeks ago, the tablet is already Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certified.

Like its predecessor, the device will be an Android tablet running the latest OS, but with a much-improved S Pen. The pricing places Galaxy Tab S3 in the mid-range market - which could be a great alternative to the costly iPad Pro.

Tab S2 was introduced at $399 and there is a great possibility that the next-gen S tablet will be slightly more expensive than the older sibling.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 release date pushed back

The tablet was supposed to be launched at CES 2017 but somehow, Samsung has remained tight-lipped to all of the questions that fans have been throwing at the company.

We have learned that Galaxy S8 will skip this year's MWC but the tech geeks are highly-expecting Galaxy Tab S3 to appear in the trade show.

The recent leaks and Bluetooth certification should be a clear indication that Galaxy Tab S3 release date is imminent.
