The Galaxy Tab 3 related leaks have included plenty of detail up until this point, and well, it looks like they are not going to be stopping just yet. The potential good news here, this latest leak is suggesting the tablet lineup will be announced fairly soon. In fact, the leak is calling for an announcement sometime “in the coming days.” Time will tell just how well that plays out, but in the meantime, we also have an image along with some specs.

This time around we are hearing about the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and the Galaxy Tab 3 8, both of which look like they will arrive running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Some other specs that are shared across the board include a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, 3 megapixel rear-facing camera and microSD card slot. Both models will also have the basics to include Wi-Fi, DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB for charging.

Moving to the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and we are hearing talk of a 10.1-inch display at 1280 x 800 along with a 7000 mAh battery, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. The Galaxy Tab 3 8 is expected to be sporting an 8-inch display at 1280 x 800, 4500 mAh battery and 2GB of RAM. The internal storage for the 8-inch Tab 3 hasn’t been detailed with this latest leak, however given previous leaks — we would expect Samsung to include 16GB just like on the 10.1-inch model.

Otherwise, while the announcement is expected fairly soon, it looks like the actual availability may still be a little ways off. Details have 3G models for each size coming in May with a 4G LTE model for each size coming a bit later — in June or July. All said and done, while this is another in the Galaxy Tab 3 series of leaks, we caution that nothing is official until we hear something from Samsung.

It looks like another Galaxy Tab 3 rumor has surfaced. This latest has arrived with an image, some specs and even a new name. Yes, according to the latest in the rumor mill, Samsung will not be launching the tablet as the Galaxy Tab 3, but instead as the Galaxy S Tab. The reasoning here is that Samsung wants to continue to build upon the success they saw with the Galaxy S phone line.

We aren’t exactly sure all these details are on the up and up though. Naming structure aside, the pics also seem a bit sketchy. You can get a look at the image below and judge for yourself. The tablet appears to be nothing more than a blown up smartphone — complete with the physical home button and earpiece. The interesting part here, the tablet is clearly aimed at the landscape layout given the position of those previously mentioned items.

Of course, the previous Galaxy Tab devices were aimed at the landscape layout so maybe it is just the home button and earpiece throwing off the look. Putting the interesting name and sketchy pics to the side, lets get into the specs. This particular model is said to have a 10.055-inch display at 2560 x 1600. Further details on the display show it with a 300ppi and note that it could be either a PLS LCD or Super AMOLED Pentile.

Remaining specs look to include an Exynos 510 Octa processor, 2GB of RAM, 32 or 64GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, 2 megapixel front-facing camera, 8 megapixel rear-facing camera and 9000 mAh battery. While time will tell just how accurate these details will end up being, we will mention that these latest images do not necessarily line up with previous leaks. Nonetheless, we are expecting Samsung to announce the Galaxy Tab 3 during IFA.

Samsung’s line of Galaxy Tabs are pretty nice, but only one rocks their impressive Super AMOLED technology. That being the Galaxy Tab 7.7 that has been available for some time. However, multiple reports have surfaced over the past few weeks suggesting Samsung is preparing to offer those same beautiful displays in full 1080p HD on an array of tablet sizes.

All their tablets but the one mentioned above have been LCD displays, but that will soon be changing. Last week we reported on a possible 11.6-inch Full HD Super AMOLED tablet in the works from Samsung with blazing high retina resolution like the Nexus 10, and now it looks like those same panels will be coming to smaller slates.

According to SamMobile Samsung is getting ready to start manufacturing full 1920 x 1200 full HD Super AMOLED panels for use in multiple upcoming tablets. In particular they mention the Galaxy Tab 8 (not a note) that will take on the next generation iPad mini, as well as Google’s rumored second-gen Nexus 7.

They go as far as to state this will be unveiled at IFA in late August at the Samsung Unpacked event, which will be Unpacked Episode II of the year. First being the GALAXY S 4 event. This means Unpacked could have Samsung pretty busy with the rumored Galaxy Note III, the Galaxy Tab 3 (10-inch) as well as this 8-inch slate mentioned today. It’s about time Samsung refreshes their tablet lineup, as they’ve been focusing all their attention on the Note devices as of late.

If they can deliver a Galaxy Tab 8 with a full HD AMOLED panel, Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor, front facing speakers like current tablets and Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie all for a good price – I’ll take two. Stay tuned, it will be a busy summer for Samsung.

The excitement is building as the release date for the new Samsung GALAXY S 4 is approaching, and at least one online retailer is looking to gain some additional attention. The folks over at Carphone Warehouse have announced that along with pre-orders for the popular new GALAXY S 4, you’ll also get a free Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch slate with your order.

That isn’t a bad deal at all. It appears that starting today the first 2000 people who order the GALAXY S 4 from Carphone Warehouse on a pay monthly order will receive the Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch absolutely free. That’s a quality dual-core Android 4.1 Jelly Bean powered tablet that I’m sure many would enjoy. Especially for free.

That isn’t all either. They’ll also be tossing in an accessory pack with a screen protector, case and car charger for those in need. We’ve been hearing the anticipation and excitement around the GALAXY S 4 is 4x what it was with last years smartphone, so this deal might not last long. If you’re interested in the GS 4 this might be a good option to take.

Carphone Warehouse has the new smartphone shipping on April 26th, but pre-orders with the free Tab 7 opened up today. At this time of writing the deal is still being plastered on their site, so it’s pretty safe to say they haven’t reached that 2,000 person limit yet. Who will be ordering from Carphone instead of others just to get this deal? We sure would if we were in the UK. Good luck folks!

We have seen plenty of Galaxy Tab 3 related rumors up until this point. Most of them have been dealing with specs, however as of today it looks like the chatter has turned to when the tablet may be announced. In addition to the talk of the Galaxy Tab 3, there is also a brief mention of the Galaxy Note III and some talk of software updates regarding the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 2.

Diving right in with talk of the Galaxy Tab 3, rumor has it that Samsung will be making an announcement during IFA. This conference takes place in Berlin, but more to the point for those curious about the timing here, it is scheduled to begin on September 6. This is also when Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Note III.

Shifting over to the older devices and the talk surrounding the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 2 deals with updates. Basically, it looks like the original Galaxy Tab is done and has received the final software update. Things are slightly better for the Galaxy Tab 2, which is said to be going up to Android 4.2.2. Though, it was said that is where the Galaxy Tab 2 updates will stop. No timeline was given as to when the Galaxy Tab 2 update is expected to arrive.

While the Galaxy Tab 3 rumors have covered quite a bit, the Galaxy Note III chatter hasn’t been as frequent. We have seen mixed reports on the display size with some pointing towards a 5.9-inch display and some pointing towards a 6.3-inch display. Of course, some believe the Samsung Game Pad details confirmed the size of the Note III when it mentioned support for devices between 4-inches and 6.3-inches.

We’ve been hearing all sorts of rumors out of the Samsung camp lately, but this is a juicy one we had to share. Most likely they have an array of tablets coming soon to compete with the Xperia Z and other high-end Android tablets, but imagine one with a Super HD AMOLED panel. Samsung’s best display that isn’t offered on their tablets. Well that’s where this rumor is headed.

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 was Samsung’s first tablet with their Super HD AMOLED technology used on their smartphones, and apparently Sammy is preparing to offer that same stunning display in full HD for a 10.1 or 11.6-inch Android tablet. Rumors and insider information provided to SamMobile appears to back this up.

According to their sources Samsung is preparing a 10 or 11.6-inch Full HD Super AMOLED tablet that will have all the bells and whistles. Their latest Galaxy Tab 10.1 2 is nice, but certainly doesn’t have a fast Exynos 5 quad or Octa-core processor or an AMOLED panel. Their Samsung Nexus 10 has a retina blasting resolution, but it isn’t AMOLED. It’s a TFT LCD display.

The insider claims Samsung’s latest Exynos processors will power these slates, and hopefully Android 4.2 or 5.0 Key Lime Pie will be under the hood. Then of course they also claim a Galaxy Tab 3 Plus and the Galaxy Note III are all on the way and should be unveiled at IFA in Berlin, or at a Samsung Unpacked event. We’re guessing right around the end of August or early September. We’ll be live in Berlin for IFA so stay tuned.

Details have slowly been leaking for the Galaxy Tab 3 and while we have seen several possible model numbers mentioned, we have yet to see any sort of official announcement from Samsung. Some had believed the announcement was going to happen during Mobile World Congress, but as we now know, that was not the case. Anyway, while it would be nice to talk of word from Samsung, it looks like we have additional details coming from a recently discovered Bluetooth SIG filing.

The filing is pointing towards the GT-P8220 which has been previously noted as having a 10-inch (2560 x 1600) display and dual-core 1.7GHz Exynos SoC processor. Basically, the GT-P8220 is thought to be the higher-end device in the Galaxy Tab 3 lineup. Anyway, on that note this recent Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) filing has been discovered and comes with word of Bluetooth certification. This filing offers the basics such as how the GT-P8220 will have Bluetooth 4.0 and will allow “users to connect wirelessly to optional, compatible hands-free accessories such as Bluetooth technology enabled headsets and car kits.” The usual statement.

The other bit that has arrived is talk of cellular connectivity. Specifically, 4G LTE connectivity. This was not mentioned in the filing, however given the belief the GT-P8220 is a higher-end model, LTE connectivity, or at least the option for, sounds likely. Also coming from this filing is the geographic availability — it is still noted as being Europe. Of course, we also saw a similar mention of Europe with the Bluetooth SIG filing for the Samsung GT-P8200.

All said and done, we are looking forward to an official announcement from Samsung so we can put these rumors and leaks to rest. The company does have a big event coming up on March 14, however that is believed to be only for the Galaxy S4. Maybe we can hope for something soon after though. Or at the very least, a quiet roll-out of the Galaxy Tab 3 tablet lineup. And in the meantime, we will continue piecing these details together.

It is not as if we needed further evidence of the Samsung GT-P8200 tablet, however thanks to a recent Bluetooth SIG filing we may now have an idea of where this particular tablet is heading. According to the report, the geographic availability is Europe. Granted, that does not necessarily mean we will not see this model in other regions, however it looks destined to arrive first for those in Europe.

Otherwise, the Bluetooth SIG filing contains the usual details including how the GT-P8200 is a “mobile device with Bluetooth wireless technology.” That is a fairly standard line, however it was shown to have Bluetooth 4.0. Previous details that we have seen for this particular model touch on the display. If you remember back, the GT-P8200 was the tablet shown to have the 2560 x 1600 resolution display.

Aside from pointing towards a European release, it remains unclear as to when the tablet will be officially announced. Or for that matter, when it will be available for purchase. Speculation of course suggests that Samsung will make the announcement towards the end of February — during Mobile World Congress.

In addition to the GT-P8200 tablet, Samsung is also expected to announce a few others. The other tablets include the GT-P5200 and the GT-P3200. All three models are expected to arrive running Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean and according to previous benchmark filings, the P3200 will have a display resolution of 1024 x 600 and the P5200 will have a display resolution of 1280 x 800.

Additional Galaxy Tab 3 details have recently been revealed. These latest are benchmark results and all things considered, it is looking more and more as if Samsung will officially unveil the tablet during Mobile World Congress. These benchmarks are shown as being for the GT-P3200, which is codenamed Santos. Of course, as we have seen in previous leaks, the P3200 is only one of a few possible Galaxy Tab 3 tablet variants.

We have also seen the GT-P5200 and the GT-P8200. As far as these benchmarks go, they were discovered by the folks at PocketNow and are showing the GT-P3200 as having a 1280 x 800 display resolution along with a 1.5GHz processor and running Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. While these GLBenchmark filings tend to be accurate, we should point out that this model number and display resolution differs from earlier details.

We had once seen the P3200 as having a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600. Those same previous details were showing the GT-P5200 (with an 8-inch display) as having the 1280 x 800 resolution. Just to round out the model numbers, the GT-P8200 is said to be the 10.1-inch model with a resolution of 2560 x 1600.

We had also heard stories about Samsung dropping the 7-inch display size from the Galaxy Tab lineup. This would have them sticking with the 10.1-inch model and adding in an 8.0-inch model. That said, while we have seen some conflicting reports, it seems fairly certain that Samsung is indeed working on the Galaxy Tab 3.
