At its latest Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung unveiled an updated range of Galaxy Tab S8 tablets, with the S8 Ultra offering a far bigger tablet size and performance offering than ever before.
Alongside the smaller Tab S8 (11-inch) and S8+ (12.4-inch), the Tab S8 Ultra offers a screen size on par with any laptop in a package that weighs less than 750g. All models come with an ultrawide front camera and triple microphone system for great video conferencing, and with Samsung DeX and multi-window options they have great laptop-like performance capabilities. All models come with the S Pen for enhanced writing and drawing credentials out of the box.
The Tab S8 series tablets all launch with Android 12.0, the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard, and 5G and LTE options. All also support microSD storage expansion up to 1TB.
All models will also have optional Book Cover Keyboard accessories to deliver on a true laptop-replacement experience. The two smaller models will be available in Graphite, Silver, and Pink Gold colour options, while the Tab S8 Ultra will be only available in Graphite.

“The Galaxy Tab S8 is our next evolution in tablets,” Samsung Australia vice president of IT and mobile, Garry McGregor said. “With a bigger screen than ever before, better portability and more integrated partnerships to help our customers explore what they’re passionate about.
“Greater screen real estate means a more immersive experience whether that’s video calls with friends and family or binge watching your favourite series. And, as our Galaxy users have come to expect, the fan favourite Tab S-Pen comes in-the-box. All-day battery and super-fast charging make the Tab S8 the ultimate on-the-go productivity tool.”
The Galaxy Tab S8 series will launch at retail on March 4, the same date as the new Galaxy S22 series smartphones. The Tab S8 starts from $1,099, the Tab S8+ starts from $1,499, and the Tab S8 Ultra starts from $1,799.
