Rumors: Samsung Developing Two Hi-Res Android Tablets

With the New Nexus 7 launched, the consumer focus has shifted to what the next generation Nexus 10 will be like. While everything is hush-hush at the moment, there are some insights available–along with some more, as well–thanks to the efforts of the leak-tastic @evleaks. First, there is the SM-P600, which is going to be a 10-inch device with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. That’s the same number of pixels the current gen Nexus 10 offers, and continues to be the best on any 10-inch tablet ever to be launched. Providing the processing punch will be a quad-core Snapdragon 800 chip that is expected to be clocked at 2.3 Ghz. However, some sources also pointed out it could be a dual core 1.7 GHz A15 chip or the dual core Exynos 5 Octa chip that could be seen doing the processing job (Samsung launched the Exynos 5 Octa CPU just a few weeks ago). Other rumored specs for the Nexus 10 successor include a 2 GB RAM and a 5 megapixel rear facing camera. Meanwhile, @evleaks also claims a second tablet device that Samsung is reported to be developing. Codenamed SM-P900, the tablet will feature a bigger 12.2-inch display and S Pen stylus support (Wacom powered), which means it could well be the newest and biggest member of the Galaxy Note series of tablet devices. However, the P900 will have the same 2560 x 1600 number of pixels to light up the bigger 12.2-inch display which means a slightly lower pixel density for the bigger tablet. As for its processor, the rumor source mentioned it could be the recently released Exynos 5 Octa chip. Both tablet devices are likely to run the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and could be unveiled during the upcoming IFA event to be held in Berlin in September. Meanwhile, there are also reports that Kobo is developing a 10-inch tablet that will also offer a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. However, while that many pixels might make for a stunning display, the real deal maker (or breaker) could the backup time the device is capable of delivering. The original Nexus 10 failed on that, as consumers seemed to have no qualms in trading few extra pixels in favor of gaining a few more hours of run time.
