Samsung's next tablet, the Galaxy Tab S Pro, looks like it could be released soon after the company filed for the tablet's name on July 3.

Samsung filed to register the name of the tablet in South Korea, which would prevent other companies from using the name in their own devices.

The Galaxy Tab S Pro was first seen being mentioned by Samsung in January, within a changelog referring to the Milk Music app of the company. Since then, the tablet had not been mentioned until now.

Nothing is so far known regarding the specifications along with other details of the tablet. However, looking at the models of the Galaxy Tab S2 that have already been revealed in pictures and documents, some details about the Galaxy Tab S Pro can be predicted.

There are two Galaxy Tab S2 models being expected, namely the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. The numbers in the two models refer to the screen size of the tablets, meaning that the Galaxy Tab S2 can come with either an 8.0-inch screen or a 9.7-inch screen.

There are expectations that the Galaxy Tab S Pro could have a Super AMOLED screen that is 12 inches or larger in size, while some predictions state that the tablet will only be slightly larger than the models of the original Galaxy Tab S, which were sized at 8.4 inches and 10.5 inches.

Large screen tablets such as the Galaxy Tab S Pro is expected to be useful in a variety of applications, including in the education and business sector.

With Samsung's filing of the name for the Galaxy Tab S Pro, along with rumors of Apple's plans to release the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it looks like the two rival tech companies will clash once again in the large-sized tablets market.

Such a large-sized tablet could be very cumbersome for the general consumer, though there could still be some who would like to pick up the Galaxy Tab S Pro for whatever purpose. Apple, however, has expectations that it would be selling its rumored iPad Pro mostly to the education sector.
