The Samsung Galaxy Note 12 did not see the light of day last month, and some sources are pointing to a release early next year.  

According to Digitimes, a number of unnamed sources in Taiwanese supply chain companies are claiming that the 12-inch Android slate will be launched early in 2014. Moreover, the tablet will be entering mass production by yearend. 

BGR reports that this timeframe may hint that Samsung would announce the device in the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. Still no official announcement or statement denies or confirms this news so we may want to take it with a pinch of salt. 

Earlier rumors state that the Korean's manufacturer's new slate will boast a screen that is much better than Full HD. We don't know yet how that display would look like, but we're sure excited about it. 

In the same report, Digitimes also believes that the Galaxy Note 12 would only be the first of many upcoming tablets which would surpass 10 inches.
