Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8+ has been available since mid-April 2022, and we’re fast approaching mid-April 2023. So it might be time for a replacement to show up on the scene, and guess what? This is exactly what happened. Not officially, at least not yet, but still.
Ladies and gentlemen, see the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ in all its glory in some CAD-based renders! Note that while antenna lines aren’t pictured, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any.
The Galaxy Tab S9+ is apparently shaping up to be a rather minor upgrade over its predecessor. It will keep the 12.4″ screen size and 1752×2800 resolution, built-in fingerprint sensor, 4-speaker layout, dual rear cameras, and even the size. Naturally, it will have S-Pen support, with an area magnetic back designed for stylus storage.
Like last year’s S8+, it will also have support for 45W wired charging via the USB-C 3.2 port, but the cameras on the back will be placed individually in their own circular islands, Galaxy S23 family-style. The new tablet may have a second front-facing camera, which should be useful when making video calls while holding the tablet in landscape mode.
While specs haven’t been leaked this time around, we expect the Galaxy Tab S9+ to come with an updated SoC, which is expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and probably not much else, compared to its predecessor, aside from the updated look of the cameras on the back, the possible presence of two selfie shooters and the aforementioned IP67 dust and water resistance.
