May. 29, 2021

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab series is usually considered the bestalternative for Apple’s iPad Protablets. Now that Apple hasadded the M1 chip to the iPad Pro, it looks like Samsung is also preparing to face the competition with three new Galaxy Tab S8 models. That’s according to a Samsung survey coming out of South Korea.

While the survey doesn’t reveal the exact chipset used in the Tab S8 series and just calls it “fastest next-gen AP,” the most likely option would be the Snapdragon 888 orExynos 2100chipset.

You will also get 8GB of RAM and 128/ 256GB of internal storage on the Tab S8 and Tab S8+ models. The Ultra variant goes one step ahead to offer 8/ 12GB RAM and 128/ 512GB storage options. Other hardware specs include quad speakers, S Pen support, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and an optional keyboard with a 165-degree angle adjustment.

All three models in the Tab S8 series will have adual rear camera setup with a 13MP primary camera, a 5MP secondary lens, and LED flash. The difference is with front cameras. While the S8 and S8+ are tipped to feature a single 8MP front camera, the Ultra variant may offer dual 8MP + 5MP ultra-wide selfie cameras.

If the survey is anything to go by, you could expect to see an 8,000mAh battery on the Tab S8, a 10,090mAh battery on the Tab S8+, and alarge 12,000mAh battery on the Tab S8 Ultra. All three models will support 45W fast charging.

The Tab S8+ will be priced at KRW 1,149,000 (~Rs. 74,678) for Wi-Fi, KRW 1,249,000 (~Rs. 81,177) for 4G, and KRW 1,349,000 (~Rs.87,677) for the 5G variant.

All these are promising specifications and we hope most of these remain unchanged when the company officially unveils the Galaxy Tab S8 series at its Galaxy Unpacked event later this year. So, will you consider picking up a Galaxy tablet over the iPad Pro? Let us know in the comments section.
