    Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ have been subjected to a lot of leaks over the past few weeks. However, it looks like Samsung will be launching another device at its Unpacked event on the 25th of February.

    Specifications:

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 recently showed up on GeekBench the model number SM-T835. The last year’s Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with a model number SM-T835. Which suggests that this could indeed be the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S4.

    The Galaxy Tab S4 is expected to retain most of the aesthetics with a large 10.5 inch 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution Super AMOLED display. Under the hood, the device will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The tab is also expected to offer dedicated micro SD card slot, which can accept micro SD cards up to 256 GB.

    In terms of camera optics, the tablet offers a 12 MP main camera and a 7 MP front-facing camera. As per the leaks, the video recording might be limited to 1080p on both the cameras. The tab S4 is also expected to feature next-generation S-Pen, to increase the productivity of the tablet.

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 features a single SIM card slot with support for 4G LTE and VoLte, with voice and video calling capability. The device will be powered by Android 8 Oreo with Samsung’s own Experience UI with additional customisation for S-Pen.

    Conclusion:

    The company is expected to launch the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Samsung Galaxy S9+ along with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. The Galaxy Tab S4’s launch might be overshadowed by the launch of its flagship smartphones.

    Fremont, CA (November 8, 2011) – ASUS officially announces the world’s first tablet with the NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core processor – the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime. The Eee Pad Transformer Prime is ultra-thin at 8.3mm (0.33″) and lightweight at 586g (1.29lbs) while featuring a stylish metallic swirl design with class leading enhancements including ASUS SonicMaster audio technology, an HD 8MP rear auto-focus camera with LED flash and battery life rated for up to 18 hours* when combined with the optional mobile dock.

    Incredibly Slim yet Incredibly Powerful
    Featuring an ultra-slim form factor, the Transformer Prime is only 8.3mm (0.33″) thin and weighs in at a mere 586g (1.29lbs without dock). This makes watching movies, surfing the web, playing games, taking photos, finishing up homework or video chatting with friends or family so easy and natural that you’ll wonder if the Transformer Prime was designed specifically with you in mind. Its innovative metallic swirl design is made of aluminum for a secure yet extremely comfortable grip that comes in two gorgeous colors: Amethyst Gray and Champagne Gold.

    The Transformer Prime is the world’s first tablet to feature NVIDIA’s next-generation quad-core Tegra® 3 processor. With the quad-core CPU, 12-core GeForce® GPU and vSMP technology, the Transformer Prime delivers an optimum user experience featuring smooth multitasking capabilities, lightning fast app loading, a rich and fluid web experience, full 1080P HD video for realistic media playback or recording and of course, incredible gaming performance that allows you to experience games in an entirely new way.

    The Eee Pad Transformer Prime boasts a wide 178° viewing angle IPS display, protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass, which features new ASUS technology to enhance the brightness of the screen for a better outdoor reading experience while still offering a remarkably vivid and brilliant viewing experience of photos, books, videos, movies and web pages indoors. Thanks to Multi-Touch technology, you can use your fingers to do everything from swiping through photos, surfing the web, playing the latest games, typing emails, instant messaging, reading books or magazines, and starting your favorite movie.

    A 1.2MP front camera allows for instant photos or high-quality video conferencing with friends, family or coworkers while an 8MP rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash takes brilliant photos or video thanks to a large F2.4 aperture, back illuminated CMOS sensor, touch-to-focus depth of field and low-light noise reduction to provide the clearest and sharpest photos or even 1080P HD videos.

    Advanced Audio
    The Transformer Prime offers impressive audio capabilities in a tablet, powered by ASUS exclusive SonicMaster technology, renowned for crisp and acoustically accurate audio. It produces crystal clear sound with a wide sound stage, increased audio fidelity, and distinct vocal enhancements for an immersive audio experience with your favorite music track, video, or movie.

    Unlimited Productivity
    The Transformer Prime is offered with either 32GB or 64B flash storage options for quick, efficient and reliable access to your applications. Both models feature a micro SD card slot, 3.5mm combo audio jack and micro HDMI port so sharing both what’s inside and on-screen is quick and easy. However, the function that gives the Transformer Prime its namesake is the mobile dock, which gives new meaning to the term versatility. This innovative and convenient design seamlessly provides the user with a keyboard and touchpad, along with limitless expandability options via the USB port and SD card slot.

    ASUS will include several innovative applications like SuperNote that is fantastic for its ability to take, draw or record notes and Polaris® Office which is great for staying productive with the ability to read, edit or create Word, Excel and PowerPoint (MS Office 97-2007) compatible files.
