Samsung Galaxy Tab S Expected to Be Launched at Scheduled June 12 Event

Samsung on Thursday has sent out invites for the Samsung Galaxy Premiere 2014 event in New York City, scheduled to be held on June 12. The multi-coloured invitation to the event reads, "Tab into color", indicating that the South Korean giant has plans to introduce new tablets only, probably with the colourful OLED display.

The company is expected to announce a tablet series, rumoured to be called Samsung Galaxy Tab S. The series is said to feature two AMOLED display size variants, 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch, with the same specifications. Other than these tablets, Samsung is rumoured to be developing a huge Galaxy tablet with a 13.3-inch AMOLED display, but we are not sure that it will also be introduced on this event.

For the rumoured Galaxy Tab S series, Samsung is said to be using its first AMOLED tablet displays since 2011. The Galaxy Tab S series is also said to be the first to feature fingerprint sensors.

Earlier there were reports claiming that Samsung will offer four variants in the new series as Galaxy Tab S 8.4-inch Wi-Fi (SM-T700), and LTE (SM-T705), Galaxy Tab S 10.5-inch Wi-Fi (SM-T800), and LTE (SM-T805). One of the tablets has also been spotted in leaked live images suggesting similar design to the Galaxy NotePRO (Review | Pictures).

Last year in an event in London around same time, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Zoom and a range of Ativ devices. Although the invite doesn't hint anything about the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime and other variants, but we are hopeful that company might give a sneak preview. The alleged Galaxy S5 Prime is also expected to be launched in mid-June.
