It will be equipped with 9.6-inch (2048x1536) display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera. It will also be equipped with 4GB RAM which is an upgrade from its previous model that had 3GB RAM and will run on the Android 7.0 (Nougat) OS.

Samsung emphasizes on the portability of Galaxy Tab S3 by making it 5.6mm thinner than its previous model.

The new tablet will be launched in South Korea sometime during March and it is likely that it will cost around $600.
