Samsung is holding the Galaxy Tab S tablet announcement event today and it seems only fitting for @evleaks to post a final leak of the key specifications of both.
Tonight Samsung will hold its Galaxy Premiere event. Samsung Galaxy Premiere will be held at Madison Square Gardens in New York, at the frankly unhelpful time of 12am UK time.
Samsung Galaxy Premiere 2014 event: what to expect this time
Expect to see a lot of tablets launched, and expect them to have Samsung's trademark colourful OLED displays.
Samsung is rumoured to be working on a new line-up of tablets, known as the Galaxy Tab S range. The Galaxy Tab S devices are expected to borrow design features from Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5 smartphone, and we expect them to launch at Samsung Galaxy Premiere 2014.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S is expected to come in two sizes, the first with a screen that measures 8.5in diagonally, and the second with a 10.5in screen.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and Galaxy Tab S 8.4 will come with two different chipset varieties. The LTE variants pack a Snapdragon 800 chipset with a 2.3GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU, while the Wi-Fi version offers Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa chipset with a quad 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 and quad 1.9GHz Cortex-A15. All versions come with 3GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB storage flavors. There's also a microSD card slot on board, allowing for up to 128GB of additional storage.
By now, you should know the display resolution on both is WQXGA (2560 x 1600 pixels). This results in a pixel density of 288ppi and 359ppi for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and 8.4, respectively.
Borrowing some features from its smartphone sibling, the Galaxy Tab S models are rumoured to have the fingerprint sensors introduced with the Galaxy S5 in February. The Ultra Power Saving Mode is also expected to come to the Galaxy Tab S, so this feature could aid battery life.
At the back, the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and 8.4 feature an 8MP camera with a 2.1MP at the front. Thanks to the slimmer Super AMOLED screen, both tablets measure just 6.6mm thick, which gets the 10.5" one close to the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet and its 6.4mm waistline.
The weight of the upcoming slates is impressive, too. The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 weighs just 294 grams (298 grams for the LTE version), 44 grams lighter than the LG G Pad 8.3. The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 measures 465 grams (Wi-Fi) and 467 grams (LTE).
In terms of battery size, naturally the 10.5" boasts a larger, 7900mAh Li-Ion battery, while the 8.4" features a 4900mAh unit - still respectable for a mid-sized slate.
But it is not only the Tab S line that we expect to be announced at Galaxy Premiere 2014. The Samsung Tomorrow blog suggests that there may be phones launching at the Galaxy Premiere event. Internet rumours - each as credible as the next - suggest we might see Galaxy S5 Mini, Galaxy S5 Active, and Galaxy S5 Zoom announcements at Galaxy Premiere 2014.
