Although its release date is unknown, it is known that Samsung wants its upcoming Galaxy Tab S8 tablet to be a direct rival to Apple’s iPad, so it isn’t skimping on built-in specs or available models.
Now new images reveal more details about the new tablet that when it arrives will have variants for all tastes and, possibly, for all budgets.
New images show a new unknown tablet
The well-known leaker Sudhanshu Albhore has published on his Twitter account images of the different models that are part of the new series of Galaxy Tab S8 tablets. Images show the standard S8 model, as well as the S8 + and S8 Ultra models.
But the highlight is concentrated in the fourth image, which shows a still unknown tablet and which, from what we can see, is called the SM-T270. Apparently, the mysterious tablet will not be part of the long-awaited S8 series and should position itself in the Mini equipment market segment because of the eight inches of its screen. More information suggests that it is also equipped with an Exynos 850 processor, proprietary of the South Korean brand.
For now, that is what is known about the unknown tablet, but future information leaks may reveal more crucial details of this tablet that is expected to be used by Samsung to revive the segment of more “portable” equipment.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8: three variants with three screen sizes
As it is a potential future direct competitor to Apple’s iPad, a lot of information has been circulating about Samsung’s new series of tablets and it is therefore worth summarizing all that is known so far.
We start right away from the fact that the series, as already mentioned, includes three different models. Namely: Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8 + and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The standard model, it appears, will be available in 11 inches, 12.4 inches and 14.6 inches. Possibly, the rest of the models will also be available with different screen sizes.
It should be noted that all equipment in the series will feature an AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, as well as the format will be a laptop with a separate keyboard.
RAM and internal memory variants for all tastes and needs
As for the processor, it was recently reported that the Galaxy Tab S8 model would feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and other information suggests that the remaining models may have the Snapdragon 888 processor in the controls.
Also with regard to RAM and internal storage, several options will be available; in the first case variants with 8GB, 12GB and 16GB while the internal memory will come with capacities of 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.
Of course, also in connectivity the Galaxy Tab S8 will provide several options for users with Wi-Fi, 4G support and even 5G communications.
Covid-19 Outbreak shuffles Samsung’s tablet launch schedule
The Galaxy Tab S8 is also known to be powered by a robust 11200 mAh battery with support for 45-watt fast charging. Finally, other information also advanced that the tablet will include support for the S Pen and even this will be magnetically attached to the equipment to facilitate its transport.
What is not yet known is the reveal and market launch date of the new Samsung tablet. According to some information leaks, the launch schedule of this model will have been affected by a delay in its production. According to the same sources, the cause of this delay will have been a Covid-19 outbreak at Samsung’s facilities.
