Samsung Unpacked event, where the highly anticipated Galaxy S22 series was introduced, also hosted the new generation Galaxy Tab S8 family. Consisting of three models, Tab S8, Tab S8+ and Tab S8 Ultra, the flagship is expected to be a solid alternative for those looking for a powerful Android tablet with its features.
Galaxy Tab S8 includes important innovations compared to the Tab S7 series introduced in 2020. The S Pen, which has low latency and is designed to feel like it works on paper, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, produced with Qualcomm’s 4nm fabrication process, are at the forefront of these innovations. The high demand for the device stifled the pre-order process.
