While Google has already released the Pixel and Pixel XL, another highly anticipated phone, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3, remains a mystery after it missed a couple of expected release dates in June, July, August, and September.
However, there are rumors that the Galaxy Tab S3 will be launched in mid-2017 as Samsung has applied for FCC certification.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is expected to feature a curved-edged display. The device will come in two variants with 8-inch and 9.7-inch displays respectively as well as 4K technology and AMOLED panel.
Based on leaked designs, the Galaxy Tab S3 may not be very different from its predecessor. According to Neuro Gadget, the smartphone would have a 16:10 aspect ratio and not 4:3.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 may also feature the octa-core Exynos 8890 chipset or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB/64 GB of internal storage. The device would come with a powerful 5,870 mAh battery with 14.2 hours screen-on-time. It would run on the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with a planned Android 7.0 Nougat upgrade. The Galaxy Tab S3 is expected to have an 8 megapixels rear camera and a 2 megapixels front snapper. The device is likely to have a price tag of $420.
Samsung has received a lot of flak recently due to battery safety issues related to the Galaxy Note 7. The South Korean tech giant has told its customers to turn off their Galaxy Note 7 smartphones as a precaution.
