Perhaps this third model of the Galaxy Tab S7 was a sign of things to come. It appears that Samsung will be launching three new high-end Galaxy Tab S8 models this year. One of them might be the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, a tablet so bonkers that you'll be blown away.
Details of Samsung's upcoming tablet lineup have leaked from South Korea. It appears that the company conducted a survey in which it provided some details about the new devices. Samsung may be launching three new models at the same time. The new high-end tablet is codenamed “Basquait.”
Basquait 1 would thus be the entry-level model. It will feature an 11-inch TFT 120Hz display with an 8,000mAh battery and 45W charging. The “fastest next-gen” processor will be onboard along with 8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage. The tablet will be 0.63cm thick with a dual camera setup at the back.
Basquait 2 would basically be the Galaxy Tab S7+'s successor. It's said to feature a 12.4-inch OLED 120Hz display with a 10,090mAh battery and 45W charging. It's also going to have the same processor with 8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage. The tablet will weigh 575g and measure 0.57cm thick. An in-display fingerprint sensor will also be present.
Finally, Basquait 3 would be what Samsung might launch as the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. It will feature a truly massive 14.6-inch OLED 120Hz display. This is laptop territory that we're entering in now. The tablet will measure an impressive 0.55cm thin and weigh 650g. It will have a chunky 12,000mAh battery that also supports 45W charging. The same processor will be paired with 8/12GB RAM and 128/512GB storage respectively.
An S Pen will be included with each model. These new tablets will also feature quad speakers, an 8-megapixel front and a 13/5MP dual camera setup at the back with flash. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will have a dual 8MP and 5MP ultra-wide camera setup at the front.
Samsung will also be shipping a new premium keyboard accessory for these tablets. It will support a variety of different modes for added versatility during use, allowing for a 165-degree field of view.
All three models will have Wi-Fi, LTE and 5G models. Prices for what may be called the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+ and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will start at $740, $1,120 and $1,320 respectively based on the conversion from Korean Won.
