From the looks of it, information about the second generation of Samsung's high-end Tab S family of tablets has just appeared in the wild - in particular, the specs of what seems to be the larger upcoming member of the line, the Tab S 2 9.7 (SM-T815), popped up on GFXBench.
The device will probably end up having a 9.6" display (most likely a Super AMOLED one) with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, an octa-core Exynos 5 Octa chipset, which consists of four Cortex A53 cores and another four Cortex A57 ones, a hexa-core Mali-T760 GPU chip, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of native storage (25 of which seem to be available from the get-go).
At the back, we seem to have an 8MP camera at the back, capable of recording 1080p video but still not sporting a flash, while the front is graced by a 2MP selfie snapper. This version of the tablet in particular seems to be both Wi-Fi- and data-enabled. The OS of choice is Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
We've already heard that Samsung will try to rival Apple's tablet offerings pretty hard in 2015, as rumors have claimed that both the next Tab S 8" and 9.7" will sport a metal frame and be thinner than the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3.
