The South Korean giant Samsung introduced a trio of new tablets last week Galaxy Tab S8 with huge potential. The news builds on the good foundations of previous generations and brings a number of great changes that are sure to please even the most demanding users. So let's take a closer look at these models.
A trio of tablets with a range of options
As we already mentioned above, specifically three variants came to the market - Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+ and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. They differ from each other not only in the size of the display, but also in processing and some options. But to make matters worse, for each model we can still choose between a standard version with Wi-Fi, or a variant with support for a fast connection via 5G.
Whatever the differences between the individual models, one thing is clear. Samsung really pulled out all the stops this year and gave us some really interesting tablets that can make work noticeably easier or provide hours of entertainment. In addition, it does not matter whether you prefer a more compact tablet or vice versa.
Display and body
Galaxy Tab S8
Of course, the most important part of a tablet as such is its display. In this case, Samsung certainly didn't skimp and gifted the entire trio with screens with a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes the displayed content significantly more vivid and fluid. While the basic Galaxy Tab S8 offers an 11" TFT display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and a resolution of 276 PPI, Galaxy The Tab S8+ then takes it a little further, when it specifically delights with its 12,4" Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2800 x 1752 pixels and a fineness of 266 PPI. The model then got the best of the wine Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. With it, users can enjoy a 14,6" Super AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2960 x 1848 pixels.
We must also not forget to mention the body itself in graphite or silver. In this case, the South Korean company bet on solid Aluminum Armor Aluminum, which makes the new tablets 40% more resistant to bending and 30% more resistant to scratches. Despite the improvements in the field of durability, Samsung can be proud of an indisputable fact. Tablets series Galaxy Tab S8 are the most durable, thinnest and largest in the history of the product line.
Performance and storage
Even the best tablet cannot do without a powerful chip. It is precisely for this reason that Samsung opted for the modern Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, which boasts a 4m production process and an eight-core processor. In this regard, of course, the operating memory is also extremely important. Tablets Galaxy Tab S8 a Galaxy The Tab S8+ therefore offer 8GB of memory in combination with 128GB of storage, whereas Galaxy The Tab S8 Ultra goes a little further with its 8/12GB memory and 128/256GB storage. Of course, this year's series also has the option of expanding the capacity by up to 1 TB of space via a microSD card.
Made for creatives
The S Pen touch pen has also been improved, which significantly expands user options. The user can use it in several different ways. It can make working with video significantly easier, makes taking notes more pleasant, or is useful for talented artists who can create their Galaxy Turn the Tab S8 into a digital canvas. Personally, I see the exclusive partnership between Samsung and Clip Studio Paint as a huge plus. In this case, the smartphone can be turned into a digital color palette, while the tablet becomes the aforementioned canvas.
After all, influencers and vloggers can also enjoy the new possibilities of the new series, whose attention will probably be caught by the improved lenses. Tablets can handle recording videos in up to 4K resolution, regardless of whether you use the front or rear camera. Specifically, on the back we find a 13 Mpx sensor with an automatic focus function in combination with a 6 Mpx ultra-wide-angle lens, while the role of the front camera is occupied by a 12 Mpx ultra-wide-angle lens. However, this only applies to the first two models. Galaxy Although the Tab S8 Ultra is equipped with the same dual rear camera, it offers a 12MP wide-angle lens and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens on the front.
At the same time comes an interesting feature called Selfie Video (available in the native Screen Recording app). In addition, LumaFusion's professional application will be available soon, which will significantly facilitate the user's editing of videos with the support of the S Pen touch pen.
Multitasking support
Samsung also has a huge stake in optimizing multitasking on tablets, which the new series takes even further. The entire display can be divided into several windows with variable sizes, where you just need to pin the necessary applications and go to work. At the same time, for example, we will be able to browse the Internet, prepare a presentation in PowerPoint and talk to a colleague via Google Duo.
This time, the South Korean giant also focused on communication, which is more important than ever during the global pandemic. For these purposes, he teamed up with Google and together they improved the system of video calls and sharing multimedia content in real time, which will be playfully taken care of by the already mentioned Google Duo application. This then goes hand in hand with the aforementioned multitasking. In addition, during video conferences Galaxy The Tab S8 will delight you thanks to sophisticated software for automatic composition and focus. The tablet will thus ensure that the camera is always focused on the user, in such a way that all present persons are visible in the shot.
Hours of fun
In conclusion, we must not forget to mention the great feature related to the battery. All three tablets support Super Fast Charging 2.0 and can handle up to a 45W adapter, thanks to which you can Galaxy Recharge the Tab S8 to 100% in just 80 minutes. To make matters worse, the tablet can also be used as a power bank for phones Galaxy S22. In this case, it is sufficient to connect both devices with a USB-C cable.
