The world's start 5G tablet. That's a title Samsung volition be hoping to pick up as the competition in the 5G mobile market place gets more intense, and the company has been working towards that goal for a few months now. A 5G variant of the Galaxy Tab S6 was revealed to exist in evolution when the device picked up Bluetooth certification two months agone. Now, the device has been certified by Korea's National Radio Agency, providing further proof that a Galaxy Tab S6 5G is on its way.

The RRA mentions only the model number for the device — SM-T866N — and that information technology supports 5G connectivity, but nosotros already know that the T866N is the Galaxy Tab S6'south 5G variant thanks to its Bluetooth certification. The North in the model number means this item tablet is destined for Korea (hence the RRA certification), and there's currently no discussion on whether the Tab S6 5G will come to other countries. It's also not known when the 5G variant will hit retail shelves in South Korea, although nosotros will hopefully hear more on that front in the near future.

On the hardware front end, we tin expect the Galaxy Tab S6 5G to be the same every bit the Wi-Fi and LTE variants. That's not a bad affair, as the Tab S6 packs a beautiful AMOLED screen on the outside and flagship internals, such as a Snapdragon 855 SoC, on the within, making it the all-time Android tablet of 2019. 5G connectivity will bulldoze the price upwardly, but nosotros probably won't know just how costlier it volition be until it goes official.
