That’s not very unusual for major releases in this market nowadays though, and Samsung themselves are somewhat guilty of doing this too. But in the end, as long as they plan to make the tablet available worldwide at some point eventually, it should all be good in the eyes of their fans.
We’d be curious to see how well this device performs after it comes out, as there are some rumors that Samsung might be reevaluating their approach with the Galaxy Tab line. Or rather, reevaluating the entire line itself.
That’s a harsh rumor and we’re certainly hoping it doesn’t turn out to be true, but it’s noticeable that the company has been facing some serious competition from multiple sides on the market today. Because of this, it might make sense for them to reorganize their strategy and focus on the points where they truly excel.
For now, they still have a very strong presence on the smartphone market, and it might make more sense for them to focus on that for some time instead. But again, let’s see how well the new Galaxy Tab S3 will perform exactly. It might turn out that this device is exactly what the company needs in order to stabilize its position on the tablet market and boost interest in their offers. They certainly have the potential to do even more with that brand right now, so hopefully they utilize it properly.
