Samsung’s rumored 12-inch Windows 10 tablet shows its face in import database

With the introduction of the iPad Pro, Apple acknowledged what Surface Pro fans have known for a while now: for as many uses as a sub-10-inch tablet has, there's something quite nice about pairing a good-sized screen with a detachable keyboard, a stylus, and some tablet-friendly software. But Microsoft and Apple aren't the only shows in town attempting something along those lines, and we've also seen efforts from companies like Lenovo with "Surface Pro killers" of their own. Last month, we checked out a rumor about what might be a similar model from Samsung, with word that it was developing a thin 12-inch Windows 10 tablet with possible S Pen support. Now we've got some actual evidence to help back up that theory.

That new support arrives courtesy of the Indian Zauba import database, which late last week registered the importation of ten Samsung tablets with the model number SM-W700. While the entry doesn't confirm much about them, it does mention that these are in-development models for testing purpose, and specifies a 12-inch screen size. We also see a reported value of about $460 a piece, but that's not necessarily a great indication of what Samsung might hope to actually charge for the hardware once it finally release the model.

The story on this tablet may be starting to come together, but there's still plenty we need to know. Will that S Pen support indeed be present? And what about a possible keyboard, to really help bring the tablet into the same space as the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 3? For now, we've got lots of hearsay and speculation, but only early, sparse pieces of real evidence. Armed with this model number, though, we're hopeful that new info will now be a bit easier to come across.
