Exclusive: Here is a previously unseen image of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and its full specifications

The Galaxy Tab S3 features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Samsung has also equipped its new high-end tablet with four AKG-tuned loudspeakers, two of which are at the top and two at the bottom of the device (if held upright). AKG is a subsidiary of Harman International, which means the Tab S3 should offer an audio experience previously unseen on a Samsung tablet. There’s a front-facing physical home button that also doubles up as a fingerprint scanner for user authentication and other security purposes.

The tablet is just 6mm thin (169 x 237.3 x 6mm) and weighs 429 grams (the LTE variant weighs 434 grams). In terms of connectivity, there’s dual-band Wi-Fi ac/b/g/n, LTE Cat.6 (300Mbps), Bluetooth, USB 3.1 Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack among others. It packs in a 6,000mAh battery with Adaptive Fast Charging technology. Samsung has also designed a dedicated keyboard case for the Galaxy Tab S3, which connects to the tablet through pogo pins. However, it will not be bundled with the tablet, so you will have to buy it separately. The price of the tablet or the keyboard accessory is currently unknown.

What do you think? Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 a good match for the Apple iPad Pro?
