It’s been a few months since Samsung launched a new affordable tablet in the Galaxy Tab A series, however a possible sighting of a new Samsung tablet is reported. The device, sports model number SM-T5050, has been found in the Geekbench database, and appears to use a Snapdragon processor.
Depending on the model number, it could end up being released as Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2020), but only time will tell its real name. The next Galaxy Tab A series tablet scored 317 points and 1,358 points in the Geekbench CPU performance test. The tablet runs Android 10, has 3GB of RAM, and uses a Qualcomm processor codenamed ‘Bengal’.
SM-T505 uses Snapdragon 662 chipset
According to the information available in the core source code, Bengal has a Kryo 260 octa-core CPU (4 + 4 clusters) and an Adreno 610 GPU with a clock speed of 980MHz. Both the Snapdragon 662 or Snapdragon 665 match the description. However, the one used in the SM-T505 appears to be the Snapdragon 662.
Announced earlier this year, the Snapdragon 662 is a newer chipset than the Snapdragon 665. It uses an 11nm process and features support for a camera sensor of up to 192MP, LPDDR4X RAM, Hexagon 683 DSP, X11 LTE modem, GPS, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.1, USB 3.1 Type-C support and Quick Charge 3.0 compatibility.
We can expect Samsung to launch more affordable tablets later this year, after the launch of its two high-end tablets: Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7 +.
