Perhaps, if previous rumors and leaks have to be believed then both will be unveiled during early August. Whatever may be, the devices have now passed a major hurdle, the FCC certification. Literally indicating their impending official announcement.
The Galaxy Note 9 that overcame FCC bears the model number SM-N960F. Whereas the Tab S3 model that hit FCC is SM-T835, which may be an LTE model of the tablet. It’s to be noted that the model numbers are in-line with Samsung’s scheme of nomenclature. That is, their predecessors – Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy Tab S3 were known with the model numbers SM-N950x and SM-T830x respectively. Where the ‘x’ vary depending on the region and carrier.
