Leak: Here’s our first look at Samsung’s next flagship tablet

The tablet market may not be what it was a couple of years ago, but that doesn’t mean Samsung isn’t going to release a successor to one of last year’s best Android tablets. Continuing with its recent trend of giving its flagship devices a more premium feel, Samsung will supposedly be giving the Galaxy Tab S2 a metal frame. At least, that’s what these recently leaked press render seems to suggest. 

Several months ago rumors began to mention the next generation Galaxy Tab S products. In particular, the talk of the town was teaching us that Samsung would be utilizing a 4:3 aspect ratio, premium materials (a metal frame essentially) and the latest and greatest specs. As the weeks have passed, information has slowly leaked out, and now we find ourselves with what might be a first look at the finished product. Albeit it a press render. This leaks comes to us via @onleaks, and as you can see, the tablet looks… A lot like the Galaxy Tab A series which has already been announced and released in several key markets around the world. Assuming this is the final product, it raises a somewhat odd question coming from Samsung: why does this premier premium product look like a baseline-budget one? Last year’s Galaxy Tab S series featured an exclusive design (reminiscent of the Galaxy S5) that looked night-and-day different from the Galaxy Tab 4, Galaxy Tab Pro, and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014/Pro 12.2 devices which came before it.
