Upcoming Windows Tablets 2015: Korean Manufacturer to Launch Win 10-Powered Slate Soon
During the early 2000s, Samsung was not that popular in the international mobile market, particularly due to the dominance of Nokia's feature phones. However, the Korean manufacturer's rise in the global market began when it dropped its own Bada platform, and adopted then fresh and novel Google platform named Android.
After more than six years of releasing Android devices, Samsung has made it to the top of the Android food chain. It also currently stands as the second most profitable smartphone maker, just behind Apple.
With the success Samsung has been experiencing with Android, why would the Korean company launch a Windows-powered device?

While answering that question is difficult, it seems Samsung is already preparing one. According to a report by GSM Arena, the world-renowned manufacturer is allegedly preparing a 12-inch Windows slate.
Tipped to wear the ATIV branding, which has been Samsung's naming scheme for Windows/WP powered devices, the unknown tablet would reportedly pack a 12-inch Super AMOLED display, 4GB of RAM and Intel's Intel Core M chipset.
Other tipped specs of the unknown device include a resolution of probably between 2,560x1,600 or 3,840 x 2,400, while Windows 10 is expected to run out of the box, if not become available as an update shortly after the tablet gets released.
Dimensions of the device include a 6.2mm thick waistline and a weight of 600g, which are not pretty bad considering the device's high-end standing.
Other tablets that are expected to take on the Samsung Windows tablet include the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, as well as the rumored iPad Pro from Apple. Interestingly, most of the rumors surrounding these devices claim that they would be announced in October and hit the market a few weeks later.
