Samsung has said that it won’t be bringing the Galaxy S8 to Mobile World Congress, but that doesn’t mean the electronics giant will be a total no-show in Barcelona. Last night, Samsung sent out invites for its MWC press conference, teasing a new tablet.

The device is most likely the Galaxy Tab S3, Samsung’s first Android tablet since the Tab S2 launched in 2015. Recent leaks claim that the device will have a Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and a 9.6-inch, 2048×1536 display.

The Tab S3 will be Samsung’s first tablet with Android 7.0 Nougat, which finally brought native split-screen support to Android.
