The successor to the Galaxy Tab S7 series, the Galaxy Tab S8, was rumored to be released in 2021. However, the expected did not happen yet, the South Korean company did not update the Tab S family this year. Samsung did not confirm it personally, but one of the main factors in this delay is estimated to be the chip shortage brought by the COVID-19, which has affected the whole world.
The high-end model of the Galaxy Tab S8 series will be the Tab S8 Ultra. The leaked tablet, which will have a 14.6-inch OLED screen and an 11,500 mAh battery, is expected to come with 8/12GB RAM + 128/256GB storage combinations. The Tab S8 Ultra, which will be powered by the Exynos 2200 chipset with AMD GPU, will not look for computers with its performance. Bad news for those waiting for this tablet.
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra production problems
According to the news of SamMobile, Samsung will produce the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra in limited numbers. It will be offered for sale in certain markets in the first place. In addition, when the stocks are exhausted, it will not continue production for a while and will not produce in large quantities. It is thought that the company was affected by the chip crisis and therefore pushed the Tab S8 Ultra into the background, but the situation is a little different.

Allegedly, Samsung is having problems with the display production of the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The main factor underlying these problems is that the price of the panel used in the device is expensive. The aforementioned shortage, which resulted in high production costs, raises concerns that the sales of the tablet will be as Samsung expects. Therefore, the company will bring the device to a limited number of countries in the first place.
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra stock will be limited unless Samsung can fix problems in the manufacturing process. We don’t know yet if it will go on sale in our country. However, even if it does, you may not be able to purchase the device even if you want to. It is among the predictions that the Galaxy Tab S8 series will be introduced in February 2022 together with the Galaxy S22 family. The new member of the Fan Edition series, the Galaxy S21 FE, is said to be on sale in January.
