Aside from the release of the Galaxy S6 flagship device, the Korean powerhouse is now believed to be working on a new 10-inch high-end tablet. Some of the major players are heard to be launching tablets with bigger displays like Apple which is rumoured to launch the 12-inch iPad Pro and even Sony is believed to be working on its own flagship tablet which will sport a much bigger display. Apparently, there might be a parade of bigger phablets versus bigger tablets for 2015 but Samsung seems to be unwilling to go much bigger.

According to Ubergizmo, the rumour came about when Zauba (an import tracking website) revealed that the SM-T555 or believed to be the 10-inch Galaxy Tab 5 tablet was being imported into India to undergo "R&D Purpose and Evaluation". Based on the documents, the device had a value of roughly around $350 though it was also noted that the alleged units are not to be sold for retail. The rumoured 10-inch Galaxy Tab 5 is also speculated to run on Android 5.0 Lollipop and might have an impressive power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 64-bit processor.

Aside from the SM-T555, another tablet is also speculated to be released by Samsung. This time the report came from Geekbench which revealed a new tablet which had a model number SM-T116. According to the report, the tablet will have the Android 4.4.4 Kitkat operating system as its platform and will be powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor. The SM-T116 was also reported to have 1GB of RAM and given the details on its specs, the rumoured Samsung tablet appears to be an entry-level device.

In addition, this is not the first time that the import tracking website has revealed a few unreleased Samsung devices which have been eventually launched to the public. And if such trend holds true, there will be a bigger possibility that the rumoured 10-inch tablet might come to reality. However, Samsung is still quiet on the issue.
