Disclosure

Samsung likes to go big. It pioneered the phablet craze with its Galaxy Note series isn’t afraid to try outside-the-box hardware, as its latest flagship Galaxy S6 ge+ features curved glass.

So that gives at least some credence to the rumor that Samsung is prepping a ginormous tablet, codenamed Tahoe, with an 18.4-inch screen. According to the SamMobile report, it will have an D screen with a 1920×1080 resolution, an octa-core 64-bit, 1.6GHz Exynos 7580 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a microSD slot, a 5,700 mAh battery. 

’ll keep an eye out to see if this materializes.

y this matters: Samsung makes a ton of tablets; including one that’s already on the big side in the 10.4-inch Tab S. This feels like it would be an experiment in just how big of a tablet people will actually purchase. But if there’s a company that would be willing to roll the dice to sell a few thous units, it would be Samsung.
