The hard home button in the middle doesn't look anything special, but as we had revealed, it will have an integrated fingerprint sensor that will work the same way as it does on the Galaxy S5, with features such as quick multi-user login, screen unlocking, PayPal payments, and more. On the back, the faux leather texture has been replaced by the perforated material, once again taken from the Galaxy S5, which should make handling the large tablet a bit easier than other similar-sized tablets, including Samsung's own Galaxy TabPRO lineup. Also, see those two dots? According to our source, those are proprietary connectors for Samsung's book cover, something we've never seen on existing tablets and suggest some advanced functionality.
The specs of the Galaxy Tab S include 2560×1600 displays, an octa-core Exynos 5420 CPU with four 1.9GHz Cortex-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores, 8-megapixel rear camera, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, GPS/GLONASS, and LTE connectivity, an IR blaster, and Android 4.4 KitKat. As can be seen in the pictures, Samsung's Magazine UX will be making a return, something that wasn't confirmed the first time we received info on the Galaxy Tab S.
We're still not sure when Samsung plans to officially announce the Galaxy Tab S, but as usual, we'll be doing our best to get as much info as possible.
