Galaxy Tab and updated Note Pro tablets coming soon

Samsung has been pretty silent on their tablets side since few months, except Galaxy Tab Active device. South Korean giants have release many smartphones over the second half of 2014, but we have not witnessed any new range of tablets since last June.

So the rumors of new range of Samsung slates are now started buzzing over various social media channels. SamMobile reported that Samsung is dynamically working on the different Galaxy versions of the tablets.

The rumored tablets are the Galaxy Tab AL Plus (SM-P550), Galaxy Tab AS (SM-T350), Galaxy Tab AS Plus (SM-P351) , Galaxy Tab AS (SM-T351),  Galaxy Tab AL (SM-T551),  Galaxy Tab AL Plus (SM-P551), Galaxy Tab AL (SM-T550),  Galaxy Tab AS Plus (SM-P350).

The model numbers mostly reveal the probable successors to the Galaxy Tab 4 range of slates.

SamMobile revealed that both variants of the Galaxy Tab AS might be the successors to the 7” Galaxy Tab 4 while Galaxy Tab AL would succeed either 10.1 inch or 8-inch Galaxy Tab 4. The rest of the tablets would be Samsung’s new Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note Pro slates. There is also a probability of these slates being successors to the more refined Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and Tab S 8.4 tablets.

There is no information available regarding the exact release dates, but they will certainly launch in one of the following quarters.

6.2-inch Samsung SM-T255 Tablet Spotted on Benchmarks

Following the track of Sony (Xperia Z ultra), it appears like Samsung is also working on a Android device with 6 inch plus display. The rumors started pouring in after a new handset codenamed Samsung SM-T255 has been spotted on GFXBench database boasting 6.2 inch HD 1280×720 pixel display. Since Samsung already has its Mega lineup of smartphones with 5.9-inch and 6.3-inch displays, it  could tie in with the Galaxy Tab series of devices.

From the GFXBench listing, it is tipped that the Samsung SM-T255 device will run on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean platform and come equipped with a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor under its hood. The device is also claimed to come packed with 16 GB of internal storage capacity, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 MP primary camera with auto focus, flash and FHD video recording coupled with 2 MP front-facing snapper and connectivity features such as Wi-Fi, NFC and GPS.

Details such as lack of SIM card slot and model number were revealed from the benchmark database. Also, the Wi-Fi Alliance certification has let out the product description and it claims that it is not a phablet, instead it is a small size tablet device.

As of now, there is no clear picture on when the tablet will be announced and on its pricing. But the well-known tracker, Zauba caught the SM-T255  visiting India back in March and later valued the 6.2 incher tablet at INR 28,065 ($465), so way north of both the estimated worth of the Galaxy Mega 6.3 and that of the GTab 4 7.0.
