Yesterday, LG officially unveiled three new tablets to its G
Pad range, and now it looks like the other Korean tech heavyweight is
prepping for the offensive. According to a source by GSMArena, Samsung is currently
working on three new tablets with screen sizes from 8.4 inches to a whopping
13.3 inches.
The three tablets will pack a WQHD display but since they
have different screen sizes, pixel density will most certainly vary. The
smallest of the bunch at 8.4 inches will have the densest display with a pixel
density of 359ppi. On the other hand, the larger 10.5-inch and 13.3-inch models
will have pixel densities of 288ppi and 227ppi respectively. Moreover, all
three models will be offered in either 3G (3G + LTE) or Wi-Fi only models.
The 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch tablets codenamed Klimt and Chagall
respectively will have an Exynos 5 chipset with two quad-core processors, a
hexa-core Mali GPU and 32-bit dual-channel 933MHz LPDDR3e RAM. Both models will
also have an 8MP+2MP camera combo as well as a fingerprint reader.

As for the 13.3-inch slab, we only know that it will have the
same resolution as the other two tablets. However, the Warhol’s display will be
of the LCD type in contrast to the Super AMOLED panels on the Chagall and
Klimt.
By the looks of it, the tablets might be the successor to
the recently released Galaxy
Tab or Galaxy
Tab Pro lines. If so, then we should expect these models to be announced at
the very latest Q4 of this year, but then again, Samsung may hold some surprises
for us so we just might have to stay put for more announcements.
