Korean-based mobile company Samsung will unveil a brand-new flagship device dubbed as Apple's iPad Air 2 rival, the Galaxy Tab S2. The flagship device is set to be launched next month, three months ahead of the next Apple iPad Air product line, the iPad Air 3 and iPad Mini 4, Master Herald reported on Sunday.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 will reportedly have the same specifications with that of Apple iPad Air 2. Earlier this month, a leaked photo of an alleged Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 circulated online. If such leaked photo is believed to be true, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 will come in a "slick, thinner metallic device." Christian Today noted that the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 features an "ultra-slim design," a hardware feature that can compete directly with Apple iPad tablets.
When it comes to other specifications, Sam Mobile reports that Samsung's second-generation tablet will have a 4:3 aspect ratio display and a stunning Super AMOLED feature. According to Sam Mobile, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 will be available in 8.0- and 9.7-inch displays with a 2048x1536 pixel resolution. The Samsung tablet will be powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop using an Exynos 5433 processor clocked at 1.9 Ghz speed. The soon-to-be-released Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 device will reportedly have an LTE connectivity feature, 3 GB of Random Access Memory and an 8 MP rear camera.
Sam Mobile reported previously that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 will likely be launched by June.
Meanwhile, in comparison, Apple's iPad Air 2 comes with a 2048x1536 resolution and will be powered by A8X mobile chipset running under iOS 8.
