Tech news 7 March 2022

Samsung announced its new Galaxy Tab S8 series, the Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+, and the first-ever Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablet in the line-up with the biggest, boldest display and most powerful performance Galaxy Tab S has ever offered.

The new Tab S8 series features sophisticated hardware, premium productivity features, and the seamless ecosystem Galaxy users count on are combined in a single portable productivity powerhouse, designed to be your perfect companion in an always-on, video-first world.

Each Galaxy Tab S8 offers an improved video conferencing experience with ultra-wide front cameras, a three-microphone setup, and intelligent auto-framing technology for a truly professional video call experience.

It offers revolutionary multitasking capabilities with enhanced Multi-active Windows and Samsung DeX, safe and easy file-sharing with password-protected Quick Share, and powerful productivity with the new, super-fast 4nm processor and a smoother than ever S Pen in the box.

All this is packed into the thinnest and toughest Armour Aluminium body for greater portability, and to enhance your mobile experience further, the Galaxy Tab S8 series works hand-in-hand with your full ecosystem of Galaxy devices, with features like Second Screen and Buds Auto Switch.

The Tab S8+ has a 12.4 inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate whereas the Tab S8 gets an 11 inch display with the same resolution.

All three tabs feature 13MP+6MP dual rear lenses. The Tab S8 Ultra sports a dual front lens of 12MP+12MP while the other two tabs come with a single 12MP lens.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra features an 11,200mAh battery, Tab S8+ has a 10,090mAh cell and the Tab S8 gets an 8,000mAh battery. They support a 45W charger and you have to buy it separately and it will not ship inside the box.

Samsung has partnered with Google to enhance video calling and live sharing experience for users with Google Duo.

For the first time ever on a Galaxy tablet, Samsung has introduced the Samsung Health app to keep track of your fitness routine.

Whether you want to explore your artistic side, be immersed in dynamic, lag-free gaming, or simply multitask with ease, the Galaxy Tab S8 series is the tablet you need for unbeatable performance.

Equipped with the fastest processor ever in a Galaxy Tab – a 4nm chip – Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+ also provide 8GB RAM and 256GB storage for any task. If you need more, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra packs in 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, and all three models offer expandable storage by up to 1 TB with an optional microSD card.

The Galaxy Tab S8 series is also the first Samsung tablet to support Wi-Fi 6E, which provides up to double the bandwidth and maximum speed of Wi-Fi 6, and with optimised network quality you don’t have to stress about weak connections.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and S8+ both come with a new and improved S Pen that uses a prediction algorithm for ultra-low latency — delivering an incredible writing experience that mimics gliding a pen across paper.

Samsung’s exclusive partnership with Clip Studio Paint can turn your smartphone into a digital colour palette, your S Pen into a paintbrush, and Galaxy Tab S8’s expansive screen into your canvas. Customise tools and choose brush options, and even select vivid real-world colours from pictures taken on your synced phone.

Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s new 4K recording capabilities now allow you to capture crisp, eye-catching videos with both the rear camera and ultra-wide front camera. Content creators and streamers can capture online tutorials and gameplay effortlessly, using customisable Selfie Videos that are now embedded within Samsung’s Screen Recorder.
