At 12.2 inches, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Pro is a pretty big tablet. It’ll be dwarfed by the one they’re working on now, though: it measures a foot and a half along its diagonal.
Samsung is thought to be working on an 18.4-inch tablet that they’ve codenamed Tahoe — possibly because in tablet terms it’s as big and imposing as Chevrolet’s SUV by the same name. Calling the Tahoe a tablet seems like a bit of a stretch, though. At 18.4 inches, it’s more likely that Samsung is working on an all-in-one device that spends most of its time docked on a desktop (or a kitchen counter).
Other PC manufacturers have already turned out several systems like this. There’s the Dell XPS 18, the Sony Vaio Tap 20, and the HP Envy Rove 20. They all run Windows, however, and Samsung is reportedly going to put Android on the Tahoe instead — like an un-docked Asus Transformer AIO.
Dell’s XPS 18
Android 5.1, to be precise. Samsung is also planning to use their own Exynos 7580 processor in the device, a 64-bit octa-core chip clocked at 1.6GHz. That’s the same processor Samsung opted for in the recently-launched Galaxy J7 (a budget smartphone that just launched in India), which indicates that the Tahoe will have a small price tag despite its extra-large profile.
Its 1080p display is another indication, as is the ARM Mali-T720 GPU driving its visuals. ARM has positioned it as an option for entry-level and mid-range devices, so this could be more of a scaled-up Galaxy Tab A than an addition to Samsung’s Tab S higher-end line-up.
