All of this is packaged in a thin, strong aluminum body for powerful portability and mobile experience. In terms of ecological cooperation, the Galaxy Tab S8 can be linked with other Galaxy devices to support functions such as Second Screen and Buds Auto.
As we increasingly rely on video to stay connected and entertained, we know that the biggest draws of tablets are the large screen and portability,” said TM Roh, president and head of MX business at Samsung Electronics.
Building on years of innovation in the mobile experience, Samsung has been able to further refine the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup with an even more groundbreaking “Ultra” model.
Unlike any previous Galaxy Tab, the S8 Ultra model has a large 14.6-inch @ 120Hz high-brush Super AM OLED screen, and the thinnest 6.3mm bezel ever, and the high screen-to-body ratio makes it more immersive.
Compared to the Galaxy Tab S8, the Tab S8’s bezels are more than 30% more scratch-resistant and 40% less bendable. The powerful dual 12MP front camera solution also supports 4K video and higher quality video calling experience.
Combined with advanced hardware and automatic framing technology, users can stay focused during a call and zoom in or out to accommodate new participants as they join.
In addition, the three Galaxy Tab S8s are equipped with Dolby Atmos four-channel speakers, and the three precision microphones also support an advanced background noise reduction scheme that can make the sound quality clearer.

Although the exact battery life data is not yet clear, with 45W fast charging, the tablet can be fully charged in 80 minutes (then it can be used as a large power bank).
A new and improved S Pen stylus that combines predictive algorithms for ultra-low latency for an incredible writing experience (simulating the feel of a pen sliding on paper). The digital palette/session experience can also be enhanced through an exclusive partnership with Clip Studio Paint.
For content creators, both the rear main camera and the front ultra-wide-angle camera already support 4K video recording, and the premier LumaFusion editing software will also bring optimized support for the Galaxy Tab S8 and S Pen.
For multitasking, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s large screen can be easily split into multiple adjustable windows without the hassle of switching between multiple apps.
It is worth mentioning that Samsung has also reached a cooperation with Google to bring better video calling and real-time sharing experience to Google Duo users.
Even better, Samsung is committed to making the Galaxy Tab S8 work seamlessly with the entire open Galaxy ecosystem, ensuring that the OneUI Tab 4 provides users with a consistent and intuitive experience, seamless connection, and streaming to mobile /PC smart integration.
