Expected out for a fairly long time now as the follow-up effort to 2020’s Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+, the ultra-high-end Galaxy Tab S8 family has essentially stopped being a secret around eight months ago.

Notch!

Taking a cue from Apple’s widely berated (but presumably still incredibly popular) MacBook Pro from last year, the 14.6-inch giant (!!!) is likely to house two front-facing cameras into its screen cutout, which will undoubtedly stir some heated debate among Samsung’s hardcore fans.

You can probably understand why some people would prefer to get a more… symmetrical design in exchange for their small fortunes, especially with those one thousand and one hundred bucks unlikely to include a keyboard, cover, or cellular connectivity as standard. On the bright side, the built-in S Pen will definitely not cost extra, and those willing to pay a premium can expect to score 5G speeds as well.

What about the Galaxy Tab S8 and Tab S8 Plus?

Well, for all we know, the “standard” 11-inch model and non-Ultra 12.4-inch Plus variant could have been prematurely confirmed by Samsung too. That’s because their external appearances will almost surely go unchanged compared to the Tab S7 and S7+, overall dimensions included.

The Tab S8 Ultra, by the way, will be even thinner, at 5.5mm, far outshining Apple’s 11 and 12.9-inch 2021 iPad Pros in that department. In addition to the aforementioned Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, the Galaxy Tab S8 trio should obviously share pre-installed Android 12 software, as well as an 8GB RAM count and 128 gigs of internal storage space in entry-level configurations.
