Geekbench confirms Galaxy Tab S9, Tab S9 Ultra, and Tab S9 FE
Samsung may be readying four Galaxy Tab S9 models for launch later this year. The previously-rumored Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+, and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra may be accompanied by a Galaxy Tab S9 FE. This is according to recent Geekbench listings.
Samsung is seemingly readying a Galaxy Tab S9 FE as well
We have long known that Samsung will launch three flagship Android tablets later this year. The company debuted three Galaxy Tab S8 models last year, and it was no rocket science that it would do the same this year. The base Galaxy Tab S9 will bear the model numbers SM-X710 (Wi-Fi), SM-X716B (5G Global), and SM-X718U (5G US). Likewise, the Galaxy Tab S9+ will be identified by SM-X81* and the Ultra model by SM-X91*.
Leaks have already revealed a lot about these devices. For the first time, Samsung is said to be offering an official IP rating for dust and water resistance on its flagship tablets. The entire lineup will reportedly boast an IP67 rating. We also know that the tablets will ship with the same Qualcomm chipset that powers the Galaxy S23 series globally. It’s the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that is exclusive to Samsung. Leaks have also revealed details about the Ultra model’s display, battery, charging speed, and memory configuration.
All this while there haven’t been any rumors about a Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Samsung launched a Galaxy Tab S7 FE in May 2021 as an affordable premium tablet but didn’t follow it up with a Galaxy Tab S8 FE. However, a mysterious new Galaxy tablet recently popped up on Geekbench with the model number SM-X516B. This model number is identical to the ones listed above, suggesting that we are looking at the Galaxy Tab S9 FE here. If not, it should still arrive as a new mid-range tablet from Samsung.
Unsurprisingly, this tablet doesn’t get the flagship Snapdragon processors as the rest of the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup. Instead, Samsung is equipping it with the Exynos 1380, a premium mid-range processor launched earlier this year. It powers the Galaxy A54 5G globally. The Geekbench listing shows the SM-X516B with 6GB of RAM. The SM-X716B (Galaxy Tab S9) and SM-X916B (Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra) showed up with 8GB of RAM. The Galaxy Tab S9+ (SM-X816B) hasn’t appeared on Geekbench yet.
The new Samsung tablets will launch in the second half of 2023
Samsung’s new flagship tablet lineup is still months away. The Galaxy Tab S9 series isn’t expected to arrive until the second half of this year. More precisely, the tablets should break cover sometime in August or September 2023. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldables should also debut on the same day. Samsung may launch the Galaxy Watch 6 series and a new pair of TWS earbuds as well. We will keep you posted with the latest information about these upcoming Galaxy devices.
