Samsung Galaxy Tab S: Specifications and Details[/b]
Samsung will reportedly expand its tablet lineup even more with the Galaxy Tab S.
According to Sam Mobile, the tablets will debut as the first-ever devices to feature a WQXGA (2,560 by 1,600) AMOLED display, packed into an 8.4-inch or 10.5-inch slate. Samsung first introduced its Super AMOLED Plus screen in the 2012 Galaxy Tab 7.7, but, as SamMobile pointed out, it has not utilized the relatively young technology in another tablet. It has, however, been integrated into other Samsung offerings, like the Galaxy S5 smartphone, which leverages the AMOLED display's ability to turn on individual pixels to save power.
The Tab S lineup will also be first tablet with a fingerprint sensor the same technology found in the flagship GS5's home button, Sam Mobile said. Much like the handset, Samsung's new tablets will reportedly feature fingerprint unlock and PayPal payments, as well as private folder and Samsung Apps login. But the manufacturer may add a new twist: multi user login, which enhances Android's multiple-user functionality to allow friends or family members to log onto your tablet by swiping a finger across the home button.
