Last October, Samsung introduced its latest flagship Android tablet called the Galaxy Tab S6. Equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, the slate arrived with support for 4G LTE connectivity. Now, after roaming in the rumour mill for a while, the 5G connectivity supported variant of the tablet has been officially unveiled by the company. Simply called the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G, the slate comes powered by the same Snapdragon 855 chipset, but it is equipped with the Qualcomm X50 modem, instead of the X24 LTE modem available on the 4G variant. Notably, the Galaxy Tab S6 5G is the world’s first tablet with support for 5G connectivity as well as an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Apart from 5G connectivity, the rest of the specifications of the Galaxy Tab S6 5G are identical to the 4G variant. The slate comes with a 10.5-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display that supports the S Pen, which attaches to the back of the device for charging and carrying.
