The Samsung Tab S8 series arrives as three distinct premium tablets — the Tab S8, Tab S8 Plus, and Tab S8 Ultra — each designed to handle everything from demanding office work to immersive gaming, all powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.
Samsung Tab S8 Series: Display, Design, and S Pen
Every tablet in the lineup ships with a 120Hz refresh rate display, ensuring smooth scrolling and fluid animations whether you are editing a document or watching a film. The flagship Tab S8 Ultra leads with a massive 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel in an ultra-slim 5.5mm body crafted from Armor Aluminum. The Tab S8 Plus offers a 12.4-inch Super AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint sensor, while the standard Tab S8 packs an 11-inch LTPS LCD screen — all three delivering the vivid, bright visuals you need for multitasking across multiple apps simultaneously.
A key highlight of the entire series is the included S Pen. Samsung has refined this stylus year after year, and the version bundled here lets you sketch, annotate, sign PDF documents, fill out forms, and switch between creative apps with natural precision. When you are done, the S Pen attaches magnetically to the back of the tablet for wireless charging — no cap to lose.
The Tab S8 Ultra also features dual front-facing cameras with auto-framing, making video calls feel professional even in a busy environment. AKG-tuned four-speaker audio rounds out the multimedia experience.
Performance, Connectivity, and Battery Life
Under the hood, all three tablets run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Samsung's most capable chipset at the time of launch. This ensures apps like Microsoft Office open in an instant and graphically intensive games run without a stutter. Storage is expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card slot, giving you room to grow.
For connectivity, the series supports Wi-Fi 6E and optional 5G, so whether you are on a home network or a cellular connection while commuting, speeds are consistently fast. Galaxy ecosystem users benefit from cross-device features: sync notes between your Tab S8 and Galaxy phone or laptop, instantly transfer files, or even use a Galaxy S22 smartphone as a colour palette while painting on the tablet — a genuinely creative touch.
Battery life is a strong suit across the lineup. The Tab S8 Ultra carries an 11,200mAh cell. The Tab S8 Plus steps in with a 10,090mAh battery supporting 45W fast charging. The base Tab S8 offers an 8,000mAh battery, also with 45W fast charging. Reverse wireless charging lets you top up other Galaxy devices using the tablet itself when you have power to spare.
Attach an optional keyboard cover and any Tab S8 series tablet instantly switches to DeX mode — Samsung's desktop-style interface that turns the tablet into a laptop replacement for spreadsheet work, presentations, and email.
