The Galaxy Note Pro

If the Galaxy Note Pro's 12-inch screen isn't large enough for you, Samsung may be working on something much bigger.

The company is said to be working on a huge Android tablet with an 18.4-inch screen, according to blog Sam Mobile, which has leaked reliable information about new Samsung products in the past.

The tablet is said to have a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, and it's being called "Tahoe" internally. The device is likely to run on one of Samsung's 64-bit processors and will have 2GB of RAM, which is notably less than the 4GB of RAM Samsung has packed into its newest smartphones.

It'll have 32GB of storage and a microSD card slot, so you'll be able to add more storage as you need it. The tablet will also feature an 8-megapixel main camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera.

It's possible that such a large tablet would be more geared towards professional use in offices or shared use at home. For example, a tablet that large could be mounted in a living room, or could be used in a conference room for video chats with remote colleagues.

Large tablets like this already exist, but not from Samsung. Lenovo makes a giant-sized tablet called the IdeaCenter Horizon that has a 27-inch screen and comes bundled with apps that let you play table-top games on its massive screen. One app, for instance, lets you play virtual air hockey with another player, while another turns the tablet into a poker table.
