We’ve got confirmation that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S series which comprises of the 10.5 and 8.4 tablets is scheduled to go official in India tomorrow. The company has started sending out invites for the event and it has also been teasing the launch on its official Twitter account.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S series was launched this month itself and it’s already up for grabs in the US. Its quick release in India probably has something to do with the Tab Pro lineup not being officially made available. The new devices will go up against Apple’s iPad Air and Mini with Retina, featuring 6.6mm super slim designs and 2K Super AMOLED displays.
The overall design, however, is nothing new and it highly resembles the current 8-inch and 10.1-inch tablets in the market. While they might not look so premium, the Samsung tablets do pack some serious hardware with a couple of components even beefier than the ones on the Galaxy S5 flagship. What hasn’t been confirmed as yet is which versions of the tablets Samsung plans to launch in India.

Keeping to tradition, the company prefers to release the models with Qualcomm processors in LTE markets only, while the Exynos versions are sold in the remaining locations. We’ve got our money on the latter variants and chances are high that the slates may come without cellular support.
Here are the common specs of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S series:
– Android 4.4 KitKat
– Exynos 5 Octa/Snapdragon 801 chipset
– 2560 x 1600p WQXGA Super AMOLED display
– 3GB RAM, 16GB/32GB storage options
– 128GB expandable memory via microSD slot
– 8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front snapper
