Of all the things Samsung is set to unveil at its upcoming Unpacked event, we assumed the Galaxy Tab S7 was the to the lowest degree likely to come with any surprises. After all, previous leaks have detailed pretty much every aspect of the tablet and its bigger blood brother, the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus.

But now MySmartPrice has revealed an unexpected but extremely welcome upgrade. The tablets will reportedly exist the first to launch with Qualcomm'southward upcoming Snapdragon 865 Plus chip, rumored to be launching next month.

• These are the all-time tablets of 2020
• The Milky way Note 20 Ultra will have an incredible camera
• Plus: iPad 2020 could become this display upgrade to fight Milky way Tab S7

The prove comes via a Geekbench listing for the SM-T875 (the model number for the Tab S7). The database entry shows a processor where one of the cores is clocked at iii.09GHz – a decent boost on the 2.84GHz that the current Snapdragon 865 caps at.

In practice, this gives the Tab S7 pretty enviable scores: 971 for Geekbench'southward single-core test and 2,984 for its multi-core ane. For comparison's sake, scores for the Tab S6 seem to range betwixt 720 to 750 for the single-core test, and 2,300 to 2,500 for the multi-core i. And so information technology's a decent speed heave.

These scores are withal well behind the results for the the iPad Pro 12.9 nosotros reviewed. Apple'south A12Z Bionic-powered slate scored ane,126 on the single-core test and 4,720 on the multi-core portion. But at least it looks like Samsung is closing the gap — and there are other notable upgrades on the way.

The listing too points to 8GB RAM for the tablet, and then we can add that to the list of specs already revealed by the earlier leak: a 120Hz screen, bundled S Pen and seven,760mAh or 10,090mAh battery (depending on whether you opt for the regular Tab S7 or the S7 Plus.)

Yeah, if earlier reports are to be believed, so at that place won't exist a great deal of difference betwixt the 11-inch Tab S7 and the 12.4-inch Tab S7 Plus other than screen and bombardment size/ It'due south the same way that Apple tree treats size differences in its iPad Pro line.

Speaking of the iPad Pro, Samsung'south S Pen is also rumored to be getting an upgrade to bring information technology in line with the Apple tree Pencil'due south 9ms response fourth dimension. True, this rumor specifically relates to the Milky way Note twenty, but we'd hope the upgrade would utilise to the Tab S7 too, given it'south also getting a 120Hz screen, where users will really feel the difference.

All volition exist revealed shortly. Samsung'due south next Unpacked event is reportedly scheduled for August v, though given we're already expecting the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Fold two and Galaxy Z Flip 5G to feature, it wouldn't exist wholly surprising if Samsung unveiled the Tab S7 via press release earlier. It's what the company did with concluding yr'due south Tab S6, after all.
