Samsung Reportedly Coming Up With “Galaxy Tab S Pro”; Likely To Compete With Apple’s 12.9-Inch iPad Pro

As Samsung filed for a trademark application in South Korea for its “Galaxy Tab S Pro” on July 3, it appears that the South Korean company is in plans to release its next tablet that would add on to its aging Galaxy Tab S line of Android tablets, according to unconfirmed reports.

A report on Tech Times notes that, the Galaxy Tab S Pro was talked about for the first time in January, within a changelist that referred to the Milk Music app of the company. Since then, the device was heard of, until now. The specifications of the Samsung “Galaxy Tab S Pro” are yet to be confirmed, reports Tech Times.

As per Phonearena.com, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Pro is likely to sport a Super AMOLED screen, which could measure 12-inches or larger. The new tablet lineup is likely to be positioned above the expected 8-inch and 9.7-inch Galaxy Tab S2 models and it could probably feature the same 2,048 x 1,536 resolution, 64-bit Exynos processor, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB internal memory, reports Digital Trends. The publication notes that, Samsung tablets bearing the “Pro” label have sported an S Pen stylus and a wealth of productivity services, earlier. Samsung offered its TabPro buyers a free subscription to Hancom Office, a three-month LinkedIn premium membership, a subscription to Evernote and 1TB of free storage on Bitcasa.

The Galaxy Tab S Pro is considered to be suitable to serve the business and educational markets, as per Phonearena.com, which also mentioned that Apple is expected to position its 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro in the educational segment. Meanwhile, the Digital Trends report noted that, if Samsung plans to put its Galaxy Tab S Pro against Apple’s iPad Pro, then the the South Korean company could offer an attractive bundle, just the way it did for its TabPro customers.

Samsung is expected to reveal its Galaxy Note 5 in September along with the Galaxy A8, reports Digital Trends.
