Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series is expected to make its debut soon. The series is expected to be unveiled at an upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in the second half of the year. The series is most likely to include the base Galaxy Tab S9, the Galaxy Tab S9+, and the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra tablets. Until now, not much is known about the series apart from a few leaks and reports over the past few months, that pointed out details of some ancillary features and specifications. A new report claims that the Galaxy Tab S9+, expected to succeed the Galaxy Tab S8+, was recently spotted on a popular benchmarking website, listing several key specifications of the tablet.

According to a MySmartPrice report the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ was spotted on Geekbench with the model number SM-X816B. The listing suggests that the global variant of the tablet will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that has a peak clock speed of 3.36GHz, further suggesting it is the “for Galaxy” version of the flagship chipset.

The listing adds that the Galaxy Tab S9+ tablet will run on Android 13 out-of-the-box with One UI 5 on top. It adds that the device will feature up to 12GB of RAM and feature up to 256GB of inbuilt storage.
