The SIRIM Database is quickly becoming the listing to go to, to confirm whether some device is coming or not to Malaysia. Well, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (which has yet to be officially announced yet) has apparently made it on the SIRIM database. The tablet uses the model number SM-T805 and according to the SIRIM database will support both WiFi and 4G LTE in Malaysia. While this didn't confirm any of the other tech specs, like an octa-core Samsung Exynos processor or 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution display but the listing does mean we could see the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 as soon as it gets announced on 12 June 2014.

Samsung recently sent out video teasers for it's upcoming Samsung Galaxy Premiere 2014 event. Set to be held at Madison Square Garden on 12 June 2014, it is expected to be the place where Samsung will reveal it's latest Samsung Galaxy Tab S range, partly because of the line "Tab into Color" that comes up during the teaser video. Tech specs for the range includes a 2K display with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution for 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch AMOLED screens. Other notable tech specs estimated to come with the tablets include octa-core Samsung Exynos processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, an 8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front camera and Android 4.4.2. We're guessing that these tabs will also come in a number of color options, unless of course the teaser line is referring to the AMOLED screens. No news on Malaysia pricing or release dates yet but stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablets have recently been leaked by serial leaker @evleaks. The images look official and show off the new sized tablets nicely. While there aren't any tech specs or features available, the tablets look very thin and sleek while also adopting the same perforated backside, fingerprint scanner and ultra-power saving mode as the Samsung Galaxy S5. There are also 2 round mounts on the backside which we think is for an automatic or interactive flip cover or stand later on. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing yet, but we should find out soon so stay tuned.
