Samsung gave users in Italy, UK, and United States the Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (excluding the 10.1v version) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, at various points in August 2012.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 may wither be powered by an Exynos 8890 octa-core chipset or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. The Qualcomm processor will provide users with enhanced performance. An impressive 4GB RAM is expected for the 32GB and 64GB Internal storage variants.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 may also be released in two screen sizes, 8-inch and 9.7-inch. Both will have an AMOLED Display with 4K resolution. Camera specs are not clear but tech experts believe an 8MP rear and 2MP front camera could be incorporated into the Galaxy Tab S3. The USB Type-C port will be similar to that of the Galaxy Note 7.
A leaked design of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 was shared by a Twitter user Evan Blass and the third generation galaxy tab did not appear to be much different than the Galaxy Tab S2. The leaked image however suggested a 16:10 aspect ratio and not a 4:3. This may not sit well with those favouring a squarer tablet, writes .
I find with my arthritis that the lightness of the device is a definite plus. I've already tried out the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 at Best Buy, and honestly can't tell the difference between it's resolution and my current Nook Tablet. The fact that it has free in-store support is another plus for me, so I'm looking forward to buying the one I have on reserve asap.

In terms of power consumption, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 is a very frugal tablet. Compared to the predecessor, it uses less energy and all other comparison devices consume more as well. Our review unit consumes 3.8 Watts on average when idle, and 5.8 Watts on average under load.
There are talks that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 may be launching mid-2017 as the South Korean tech giant has already applied for certification before the FCC and fans expect the device to sport some revolutionary specs and features. Samsung has however remained tight-lipped on the device’s release date and price.
