The Samsung Tahoe will be competing with Panasonic's giant Toughpad, a 20-inch 4K tablet that is almost three times the size of Google's Nexus 7 and runs Windows software. Bidness ETC noted that the Samsung mega tablet does not have an official name yet, which means that the company will most likely not retain its present name "Tahoe." There are also no details yet as to when it will be released but with IFA approaching, fans are wondering if it will be revealed there.
