Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7 hits FCC

Samsung launched two Galaxy Tab S2 tablets last year, namely the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. Now it looks like their successors are close to their launch since a Samsung SM-T819 has been spotted at FCC. If this name does not say much, it is enough to add that its design makes it clear - most chances are that this is the Galaxy Tab S3 9.7.

Previous rumors mentioned that Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Tab S3 slates (obviously, this name has not been officially confirmed yet) use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, 3 GB RAM, 2 MP front cameras and 8 MP image snappers on the back, as well as at least 32 GB of internal memory. The displays would offer 2,048X1,536 pixels - all in all, these specs make them similar to the Galaxy Tab S2 slates launched in 2015.

According to the FCC database entry, the SM-T819 packs AT&T-compatible LTE connectivity, so this major carrier should add the new slate to its portfolio once it becomes official. Remains to be seen when will that happen, so stay tuned.
