While Samsung has chosen not to reveal anything about the release date, spice and price of the much talked about Galaxy Tab S3, new reports suggest the tablet could be unveiled sometime in September.

It was in September last year that the smartphone giant had rolled out two variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, one with a 9.7-inch screen and the other with an 8-inch display.

Recently, popular leakster Evan Blass posted a supposed leaked photo of the Galaxy Tab S3. The picture, which was obtained from an anonymous source, showed the device with the familiar home button at the bottom of the front of the screen. The device looked exactly as the Galaxy Tab S2, which still has its plastic body, reported TechRadar.

Samsung fans claimed the picture to be fake as the gadget's back button was apparently too close to the home button in the picture. In fact, Blass himself clarified in a later tweet that the picture was not of Galaxy Tab S3 but Tab A 10.1.

As far as Galaxy Tab S3 specs are concerned, the upcoming tablet is expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor with 3GB of RAM, a 32GB to 64GB internal storage capacity, and a 4,000 mAh battery. The next gen tablet is expected to be released in 9.7-inch and 8-inch versions, same as its predecessor, albeit the original resolution of 1,536 x 2,048 pixels is expected to get upgraded, reported GuruLife.

There are even reports which claim that the device will run through the new Android Nougat operating system. The Android Nougat will reportedly come with the power to make instant replies to messages, through the notification window or simply through the multi-window. In fact, the Doze-to-go will also help save the battery charge when the tablet is not active.

Talking about the Galaxy Tab S3 price, the 32 GB version is expected to cost around $399, with prices going higher for other storage options, reported VineReport.

We would advise our readers to take the information with a grain of salt as nothing yet about Galaxy Tab S3 release date, specs and price have been announced by the makers.
