If the details B&N posted to their developer pages are correct, the next tablet to bear the Nook brand could be the Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6.
With specs on par with the Fire HD 10, this is much cheaper tablet than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook and will likely cost a lot less.
The Galaxy Tab E 9.6 has a screen resolution of 800 x 1,280. The model currently being sold by Verizon runs Android 5.1.1 on a 1.3 GHz quad-core Spreadtrum SC7730SE CPU with 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of storage (plus 128GB microSD card support), and two cameras (2MP and 5MP).
If this is the next Nook device, it will be bigger than the Tab S2 Nook, but not nearly as good. It will also be a lot cheaper. The Verizon model has 4G and costs $329. The B&N model, should it exist, will likely cost in the range of $249 to $279.
