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.

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.
