According to an 'insider' speaking to SamMobile, the new Galaxy Tab S line will come in two sizes, 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch, with a fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button — just like the Samsung Galaxy S5.

It will also be the first device in the world to have a 2560x1600p AMOLED display. Some Samsung slates already have displays of that resolution, but they use LCD panels. By using an AMOLED display the Galaxy Tab S should have increased colour saturation and blacker blacks.

Power to the core
Things are looking just as impressive under the hood, as it's rumoured to have an octa-core Exynos 5 processor with four 1.9GHz Cortex-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores alongside 3GB of RAM.

The slate is expected to come with an 8MP camera and run Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The design is said to be similar to the Galaxy Tab 4, complete with a perforated pattern on the back. However, it's supposedly going to have far slimmer edges than Tab 4.

My problem with Galaxy devices is that they all look the same and the software is too customized and cartoonish for my liking. But that 8.4 inch screen size is just perfect. The other specs like screen resolution, processor and RAM are also very good. Don't care much about the rear camera on the tablet.

Any idea how will it be priced in India, say after 6 months of its launch.

About the fingerprint scanner, is it worth the hype? I find little use for it and going by my laptop experience have a feeling it will be the first thing to conk off.
