With the reveal of Samsung\u2019s new Galaxy Tab S8 lineup, it doesn\u2019t look like the South Korean tech giant is giving up on the tablet space anytime soon.<\/p>\n

There are three tablets in the new lineup: the Tab S8, the Tab S8+ and the Tab S8 Ultra. All three devices will be available to pre-order in Canada today, February 9th, alongside the new Galaxy S22 series of smartphones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Tab S8 \u2014 $899
Galaxy Tab S8+ \u2014 $1,150
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra \u2014 $1,500<\/p>\n

Samsung is also including a free keyboard cover and Galaxy Buds 2 with pre-orders through its website.<\/p>\n

Overall, the Tab S8 line promises to be one of Samsung\u2019s more exciting lineups in the tablet space given the wide variety of sizes that are offered this year.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Tab S8 is the smallest of the three tablets with an 11-inch display and a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution. On the other hand, the mid-sized Tab S8+ features a 12.4-inch screen with a 2800 x 1752\u00a0 pixel resolution AMOLED display. Both tablets offer an adaptive refresh rate that can go all the way up to 120Hz.<\/p>\n

Since the Tab S8 is the smallest,\u00a0 it\u2019s also the lightest at 503g, making it a little heavier than a 480g entry-level iPad. Considering the fact that it packs a larger screen, this makes sense. I\u2019ve used a few 11-inch Samsung tablets in the past, and it\u2019s a really great size for a media consumption device. Samsung\u2019s Tab S8+ weighs 567g.<\/p>\n

All three Tab S8 series tablets feature two cameras on the rear, including a 13-megapixel main shooter and a 6-megapixel ultrawide. The two mid-range tablets offer a single 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor on the front, which Samsung says is designed for video calls. There are also three mics in all three tablets, including the Tab S8 Ultra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both tablets feature 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. However, Samsung says that storage can expand to up to 1TB with a MicroSD card. In the battery department, both tablets are capable of 45W charging and should last for a day or more of typical use. The Tab S8 has an 8,000mAh cell, while the Tab S8+ has a 10,090mAh battery.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s press release says that the tablets pack a 4nm octa-core Samsung chip. I\u2019d expect the processor to be a variation of the Samsung Exynos 2200 chipset, but as of right now, that remains unclear.<\/p>\n

The smaller Tab S8 features a fingerprint reader built into the side of the tablet. On the other hand, the Tab S8+ has an in-display reader.<\/p>\n

Both tablets also come with a Samsung S Pen in the box but don\u2019t include a charger. Further, only the Tab S8+ comes with the new Samsung S Pen with reduced latency. Both devices feature small magnetic pads on the back to stick the stylus to.<\/p>\n

The Tab S8 and S8+will be available in \u2018Graphite\u2019 and \u2018Pink Gold\u2019 colourways. The S8+ is also available in \u2018Silver.\u2019<\/p>\n

Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a surprise move this year, Samsung has also dropped a tablet that\u2019s bigger than Apple\u2019s new MacBook Pro<\/a>. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra features a 14.6-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2960 x 1848 pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n

The S8 Ultra is, of course, the heaviest of the three coming in at 726g. Like the other new tablets, this model features 13-megapixel and 6-megapixel cameras on the rear and a 12-megapixel ultrawide. To spice things up, the S8 Ultra also offers a 12-megapixel regular sensor. This means it has two selfie cameras and a little notch to house them in. Samsung says that the camera is capable of keeping you in frame when you move around during a call, similar to Apple\u2019s Centre Stage.<\/p>\n

The Tab S8 Ultra also comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Its internal storage can be expanded up to 1TB with a MicroSD card. This extra RAM should make it a bit more powerful than the other two tablets, but it features same 8-core chipset as its smaller counterparts.<\/p>\n
