Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series’ Amazon listing reveals it all

Samsung is all set to host its Galaxy Unpacked event in February 2022, where it’ll likely launch the Galaxy S22 lineup and the Galaxy Tab S8 series. The latter has now appeared in an Amazon Italy listing, revealing the renders and specs of the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8 Plus, and the high-end Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

According to a report from Pocketnow, Amazon Italy accidentally leaked renders and specs for all three models of the Galaxy Tab S8 series. The standard spec throughout the lineup is the presence of a Qualcomm system on a chip (likely the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.) The trio comes in both 5G cellular and Wi-Fi-only models. The Galaxy Tab S8 and S8 Plus have black, silver, and pink color options, whereas the Ultra tablet could come in black only. All three devices seem to have S Pen support, with magnetic placement on the back.

The Tab S8 will feature an 11-inch display with a 2560 x 1600-pixel resolution. According to the listing, it will have a single 13-megapixel rear camera. Overall dimensions are 25.38 x 16.53 x 0.63 mm, and the slate weighs 507 grams. Under the hood, it will run Android 12, One UI 4.0, and pack an 8,000mAh battery. The bigger Galaxy Tab S8 Plus has similar specs with a bigger 12.4-inch display, 2800 x 1752 pixels of resolution, and a 10,090mAh battery.

Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has leaked before with rumors of an Apple-style notch, and this latest leak essentially confirms that. The device will measure 32.64 x 20.86 x 0.55mm and weigh 728 grams with a sizeable 14.6-inch 2960 x 1848 screen. It will run Android 12 with One UI 4.0, but it houses two camera sensors on the front, unlike its siblings.

With the pace of the leaks increasing, it’s increasingly clear the Tab S8 series is launching alongside the S22, so we’ll be sure to have more official information about all three models soon.

Evan Blass, a tipster with a reliable and proven track record, first shared the information on X. Since the initial post, the image has been removed due to a copyright claim, but you can see what it looked like below.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a nasty display issue. Here’s what’s wrong
The Galaxy S24 Ultra's screen.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, there's some unfortunate news. Several users have reported that the oleophobic coating on their device’s display is wearing off. This coating is designed to repel oils and smudges. Instead, it's causing displays to look (surprise, surprise) dirty, oily, and, in some cases, even scratched, severely diminishing the overall user experience.

As noted by Android Authority, these reports have surfaced primarily on online platforms like X, highlighting a growing concern among users.  Rajan Thakur, for example, notes a permanent glass polish mark appearing on their phone. Plyush Baid meanwhile asks a simple question: "What's the point of a screen guard if it makes the anti-reflective coating ineffective?"

According to well-known tipster Max Jambor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 will be releasing alongside a line of magnetic and non-magnetic accessories, including the Standing Grip Case, Kindsuit Case, Ultra Clear Case, Silicone Case, Rugged Case, and the Magnet Case. He also said Samsung will have a magnetic wallet, although we haven't yet learned what it will be called.
