As per the leaked picture, the Galaxy Tab S3 looks similar to the Tab S2, with a familiar Home button, plastic back, and a 4:3 display ratio.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is expected sport an AMOLED display with 1536 x 2048 pixel resolution [8-inch and 9.7-inch variant]. It is likely to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor or an octa-core Exynos 8890 processor along with 4GB of RAM. The tablet might come in two internal storage options – 32GB and 64GB. It will run Android Marshmallow OS.

Additionally, the Galaxy Tab S3 is likely to feature an 8-megapixel front and 2-megapixel rear camera. The USB Type-C supporting tablet is expected to be backed by a 4,000mAh battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is priced at $399 [for 8-inch variant] and $499 [for 9.7-inch variant]. The Tab S3 is expected to sport similar prices. However, there might be some changes as Samsung is likely to cut down on prices, after the Note 7 debacle.
