The new-generation Galaxy Tab A (2016) quietly surfaced on Samsung's website, complete with spec details and product images.
The 2015 Samsung Galaxy Tab A proved to be a reliable device that appealed to plenty of customers, and just recently stirred a new wave of interest with a new eBay deal that offered the tablet for just $130.
Its successor, the 2016 Galaxy Tab A, is expected to be more powerful and attractive, and it now seems that its official debut is just around the corner. Amid numerous rumors and leaks regarding the upcoming Galaxy Tab A, Samsung went ahead and listed the tablet on its official German website.
The company has yet to reveal any pricing or release details, but the listing nonetheless confirms the tablet's core specifications.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) features a 7-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels and packs a quad-core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz under the hood, paired with 1.5 GB of RAM.
Other specs include 8 GB of expandable storage, a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front shooter and a 4,000 mAh battery. On the software side, the slate runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box. The listing also highlights Samsung's Kids Mode, seemingly confirming rumors that the Galaxy Tab A (2016) could boast a new and improved Kids Mode.
In terms of design, the tablet looks thin and light, combining a sleek metal frame with a polycarbonate body.
The specifications suggest an affordable device, and previous rumors hinted at a price point under $200.
The slate will apparently come only in black and white color options, and at this point, only a Wi-Fi model appears on the company's website.
As with last year's generation, the upcoming tablet is expected to launch as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A in Europe and Galaxy Tab E in the United States.
With the slate now officially listed on Samsung's website, it's only a matter of time before the company officially introduces the Galaxy Tab A, and it's pretty safe to assume that the slate will launch later this month or in early April at the latest. More details should become available soon, and we'll keep you up to date as soon as we learn more.
