Samsung may be mixing things up a bit with its next big tablet

We already know that Samsung is working on the next iteration of its Galaxy Tab tablet line, but recent a report claims that the South Korean company will be dropping the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio that it has traditionally used in its tablets in favor of displays with 4:3 aspect ratio. The report also claims that the tablet will feature a 9.7-inch display.

We have already reported that Samsung is working on new Galaxy Tab tablets. It is expected that these tablets are going to have displays with 4:3 aspect ratio instead of the 16:9 aspect ratio that Samsung has stuck with in the past. According to information obtained through the import tacking website Zauba the new Galaxy Tab 5 may also have a 4:3 aspect ratio. The import tracker picked up on a new Galaxy Tab 5 model imported into India and it seems to have a 9.7-inch display, similar to the screen size of Apple’s iPad, which also has a 4:3 ratio. SM-T555 is the model number for a Galaxy Tab 5 that has surfaced from Zauba. It has been imported in India for testing and evaluation purposes only for the possibility exists that it might be a prototype.
