At Samsung's latest Unpacked event, the company unveiled the Galaxy Tab S8 series—including the Tab S8, S8+, and S8 Ultra—offering versatile sizes from compact to expansive. The flagship S8 Ultra boasts a massive 14.6-inch display with 2960 x 1848 resolution, starting at $1,099.99. The S8+ features a 12.4-inch 2800 x 1752 screen for $899.99, while the standard S8 has an 11-inch 2560 x 1600 panel at $699.99.
These models expand options in the Android tablet space, where Samsung leads the pack. Our full hands-on reviews are coming soon to assess their performance across sizes, but they launch February 25th. Pre-orders are now live at trusted retailers like Samsung, Best Buy, Amazon, B&H Photo, and Verizon. This guide walks you through selecting and pre-ordering with exclusive promotions for maximum value.
All three share premium features like eight-core processors, 128GB base storage, quad-speaker audio, metal builds, and an included S Pen. Key differences hinge on your needs, starting with size—the S8 Ultra dwarfs the S8 by nearly five inches.
The S8's compact screen is highly portable but uses an LED panel, unlike the vibrant OLED displays on the larger S8+ and Ultra, ideal for video streaming or expansive S Pen work. Note the Ultra's subtle top cutout. For 5G connectivity, only the S8+ offers cellular options. Colors: S8 Ultra in Graphite; S8 and S8+ also in Silver and Rose Gold.
