Samsung Is Saying a New iPad Professional Killer at IFA Subsequent Week

September, which begins *checks calendar* subsequent week, goes to be a jam-packed month for brand spanking new gadget bulletins. In case you thought Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on Sept. 9 the place it’ll announce the iPhone 17 family of phones, new Apple Watches, and possibly AirPods Pro 3, was the one large tech extravaganza, let me remind you that IFA is going on proper after Labor Day subsequent week. IFA is like CES, however smaller and in Berlin as a substitute of Las Vegas. Coinciding with IFA, Samsung is doing yet one more digital Unpacked occasion to announce a brand new pill.

Stay streaming on Sept. 4 at 5:30 a.m. ET (a lifeless giveaway that it’s IFA-related, because it’ll be 1:30 a.m. Berlin time) on Samsung.com, Samsung’s YouTube channel, and Samsung’s Newsroom, the digital Unpacked will take the wraps off the “subsequent evolution of Galaxy Tab.” In typical Samsung vogue, the corporate has already put up a reservation page with a limited time offer to obtain $50 “Samsung Credit” to be used towards different Samsung merchandise, in addition to as much as $800 towards the subsequent Android pill with an eligible gadget trade-in. The reservation must be made by Sept. 3 and the Galaxy Tab must be bought between Sept. 4 and Oct. 5 with the intention to get the $50 credit score.

Samsung despatched Gizmodo the above occasion “invite.” Do you guys see something in there? If I had been a betting man, I’d say these stars contained in the field trace at Galaxy AI stuffed into the brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Galaxy Tab S11?

As for the Galaxy Tab itself, we’ll doubtless see successors to the Galaxy S10+ and S10 Ultra that had been launched final yr. Do tablets—together with iPad Pros—should be on an annual refresh? No, however that’s not how capitalism works. Like several client tech maker, Samsung’s its portfolio and questioning methods to promote new variations of present issues to spice up its quarterly earnings. The brand new tablets would presumably observe the identical naming conference, so it wouldn’t shock us if Samsung calls them the Galaxy Tab S11+ and Galaxy Tab S11 Extremely.

What I’ll be watching out for subsequent week is whether or not any pill(s) will characteristic the Tab S10 Extremely’s gargantuan 14.6-inch display or doubtlessly a fair bigger one. How large a show is just too large for a pill? This stuff are friggin’ dinner trays at this level, stupidly skinny dinner trays—sorry, tablets—that you would comfortably eat off.

Samsung’s subsequent Unpacked is a digital one, so we gained’t be live-blogging it like we did on the occasion for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Watch 8/8 Classic in July. However keep tuned; Gizmodo will probably be masking all of the information that’s price testing from IFA 2025, which formally begins on Sept. 5 and runs by way of Sept. 9. Press days fall on Sept. 3 and 4, so count on a torrent of product bulletins to drop then.
