Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 leaks out ahead of its official debut

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 photos from FCC

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 has been revealed ahead of its official debut, courtesy of the FCC. The 8-inch device was recently certified by the FCC, which may suggest its launch is getting close.
The images published by the FCC confirm the Galaxy Tab S2’s 4:3 aspect ratio — the same as the iPad’s — as well as its design. The device looks a lot like a giant Galaxy Note or Galaxy Mega, with what appears to be a soft-touch plastic back.
Based on what we’ve been expecting from the Galaxy Tab S2 lineup, these images are somewhat disappointing. Recent leaks promised a premium design much like that of the Galaxy S6, with an aluminum frame sandwiched between glass.
Nevertheless, the Galaxy Tab S2 is expected to be a very impressive tablet under the hood. SamMobile reports that we can look forward to a Super AMOLED display with 2048×1536 resolution, Samsung’s Exynos 5433 processor, 3GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel camera.
The S2 is also expected to measure just 5.4mm thin — making it even thinner than the iPad Air 2 — and is rumored to be available in a slightly larger 9.7-inch model.
The FCC doesn’t confirm the S2’s release date, unfortunately, so we’ll have to wait for Samsung to announce that. But based on these images, it would appear the device is now close to its public unveiling.
