During that time, it wasn’t clear when consumers would finally get their hands on the device, if at all. Fortunately, for those interested,-reports suggest you won’t have to wait much longer. That’s because, according to documents published by the Bluetooth SIG and Wi-Fi Alliance, Samsung’s Windows 10 slate may be coming in early 2016. Though concrete details-are presently sparse, the SM-W700’s-listing on Indian import-export tracking site Zauba-claims-that the device does, in fact, feature a 12-inch display. Moreover, it was reportedly sent to India last month for testing and destroyed shortly thereafter. Related:- Mouse lovers may rejoice, but Windows 10 is a step back for touch tablets If Zauba’s reports are to be believed, the tablet will set consumers back a modest $455 USD. Though this isn’t necessarily indicative of the final retail price, it may signify a mid-range price point for the big tablet. For anyone displeased by the lack of a vanilla Surface 3 follow-up this year, Samsung’s offering might be a competent alternative. Reports hint that the SM-W700 may feature a 14-nanometer Intel Core M processor and 4GB of RAM. On the display side, the device will bear a Super AMOLED screen and a resolution of either 2,560 x 1,600 or 3,840 x 2,400 pixels. As Windows Central-pointed out earlier this year, Samsung’s Windows 10 tablet debut could feature S Pen support, taking on Microsoft’s own Surface Pen. In addition, it’s said to sport a lightweight form factor, weighing in at only 600 grams (~1.3 lbs.). While it may be too early to judge, given Samsung’s historical commitment to Google’s Android operating system, it may be worth waiting for reviews before instinctively hitting the pre-order button when it inevitably goes live. Windows 10 tablets from OEM partners aren’t exactly common right now, but perhaps there’s a reason for that. After all, aside from a few exceptions,-third-party tablet makers weren’t exactly known for top-notch quality in the Windows 8 era.
