Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G may be in the works 

Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S6 – its latest shot at the Apple iPad Pro – in August with slim design and flagship hardware. Samsung may be working on a 5G-ready variant of the Galaxy Tab S6, it has now emerged. The tablet in question has been spotted on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth certification websites with the model number SM-T866N – the N moniker suggests it could be heading to Korea. Korea is one of the first few markets in the world to have 5G connectivity, so it makes sense if Samsung is working on a 5G tablet for this market. Sadly, that’s all the information we have about the Galaxy Tab S6 5G for now. 

The main highlight of the Galaxy Tab S6 is its slim design. The Galaxy Tab S6 has an all-metal unibody chassis, and it has a near all-screen display. The tablet does not have a conventional fingerprint scanner – instead Samsung has opted for an optical in-display fingerprint scanner here. There are dual 13MP+5MP cameras on the back. And there’s a pen-shaped indentation below this module – to magnetically attach the bundled S-Pen stylus. 

That S-Pen uses the same Bluetooth tech inside it as the S-Pen with the Galaxy Note 9 so users can use it as a remote control to shuffle music, take photos, so on and so forth. When attached, the tablet wirelessly charges the thing in just 10 minutes. As for the Galaxy Tab S6, it has a 7,040mAh pack with USB Type-C fast charging support built-in. 

Elsewhere, the Galaxy Tab S6 has a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2560x1600 pixel resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. The Galaxy Tab S6 is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 855 processor paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage which is also expandable. The software inside is One UI and there’s also DeX support that provides a secure desktop-like experience on Android-based Samsung devices. 

Samsung has launched the Wi-Fi only variant of the Galaxy Tab S6 in the US at a starting price of $649 (roughly Rs 45,000) going all the way to $729 (roughly Rs 50,000).
