Samsung allegedly working on new tablet display sizes

Samsung is known for cranking out mobile devices that come in all kinds of screen sizes. Just looking at its range of tablets, the company's got models that come in at 7 inches, 7.7 inches, 8 inches and 10.1 inches. A new report claims that that list will soon be getting even longer, as it's said that Samsung is prepping a new slate with a 12.2-inch display.



The Samsung SM-P900 is said to feature a 12.2-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. A leaked user agent profile had earlier suggested a mysterious device with a similar resolution, so SM-P900 could well be a device in the making.

Additionally, the screen size has also been spotted on the Indian shipping website Zauba, which comes with the model number “SM-P905″ (could well be a cellular enabled variant of the SM-P900). The 12-2-inch tablet is also rumored to feature an Exynos 5 Octa processor along with S-Pen support.

Samsung SM-P900: 12.2-inch, Exynos 5 octa, 2560×1600, S-pen; P600: 10-inch, Snapdragon 800, also 2560×1600

Samsung has released quite a few new tablets in recent months, including the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the Galaxy Tab 3 family. Unfortunately for consumers that are after a high-end tablet, none of those recently-launched models are exactly bleeding edge. These SM-P900 and SMP-600 models sound like they could be pretty high-performance hardware, though, and I'm sure that many folks would be glad to see new Samsung tablets with the same 2560x1600 screen resolution as the Nexus 10.

There's no word on when either the SM-P900 or SM-P600 might be introduced. However, it's possible that we could see at least one at IFA in early September, which is an event that Samsung has used to unveil new mobile hardware in the past.

Samsung is also said to be working on a 10-inch tablet with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, according to evleaks. The slate is obviously targeted at users who would prefer a slate with a smaller display, while maintaining the high resolution. The SM-P600 is reported to be powered by Snapdragon 800 processor to provide enhanced user experience.

The existence of the 10-inch tablet is again confirmed by user agent profile, which also suggests that the upcoming slate would run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Unfortunately, there is no official word on either the SM-P900 or SM-P600 at the moment. However, Samsung might announce the tablets along with the Galaxy Note III on September 4 in Berlin or during the IFA 2013 exhibition.
