The latest news reports on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 release date is that it's going to come out sooner than expected.

In fact, the words used by Trusted Reviews in reporting about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 release date is, "any day now."

There's a lot to be hopeful for as the tablet is expected to rival, if not better, the iPad Air 2. Previous rumors have claimed that the new device is going to be based on the Samsung Galaxy S7, which is not a bad thing to build on.

In terms of specs, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 will reportedly come in two variants: the 8-inch and the 9.7-inch models both with AMOLED display.

Inside, the gadget is likely going to be powered by an octa-core Exynos 8890 chipset, again based on the S7 phone. It will probably have 4 GB of RAM and internal storage of 32 GB or 64 GB. The camera is nothing to speak of, at 8 MP and 2 MP, respectively.

Certainly, Samsung needs some good news right now considering the scandal caused by exploding batteries from the Galaxy Note 7. The company was forced to recall all the products, which already cost about a $1 billion. Then it had to stop production after the replacement units also exploded.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 release date should hopefully change how the South Korean company is being viewed in the market right now.
