Samsung prepping Galaxy Tab S line with 2560×1600 AMOLED Screens?

I personally like Samsung and what they do. I might not be a huge fan of the TouchWiz / Magazine UI or how device locked the Gear watches are, but the fact that they offer a plethora of device options at variable price tags is rather nice. In the tablet line there are the more prolific Galaxy NotePRO. Along with the TabPRO and the lesser expensive Galaxy Tab 4 line. Now a new set of details is emerging that hints toward a Galaxy Tab S family of AMOLED display sporting tablets.

The report comes in from SamMobile and offers up that Samsung has a pair of tablets, one 8.4-inch and the other a 10.5-inch, with screen resolutions hitting 2560 x 1600. Both of which are using AMOLED displays too. Talks get a little bit better even with the other leaked details suggesting a Exynos 5 Octa-core processor, 3GB RAM, 8 MP camera on the rear and a 2.1 MP camera on the front. Toss in Wi-Fi 802.11ac along with the more known a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0 LE / ANT+, GPS, GLONASS and an IR Blaster.

It would be stupid of Samsung to release this on anything less than Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which is exactly what the information details out. Not to mention the newer Magazine style UI that we saw on the NotePRO.

The insider is stating that that there will be 4 models of the device available. Standard Wi-Fi only models of each size along with an LTE counter part. Perhaps the better news is that the LTE models are said to retain the Exynos 5 (5420) chip this time around and not be forced to switch to Qualcomm to give the LTE radio coverage.The only thing that didn’t get mentioned was internal storage, but a screenshot sent it offered up internal storage numbers of 10.65GB. We suspect 16GB and 32GB offerings with micro SD card support surely.

I was pretty impressed with the NotePRO when I saw it, but this new Galaxy Tab S line is sounding a bit more interesting to someone like me who doesn’t need the fancy S-Pen. Now if they can make it affordable.  What are your guys thoughts?
