And now it has come out with another iteration called the Galaxy Tab S8. The new flagship tablet gets a 11-inch WQXGA+ display with 1600x2560 pixels resolution which brings the pixel density of the screen to 274 PPI. The device runs on One UI version built over the Android 11 operating system. The premium tablet comes powered by Snapdragon 888 processor with 8GB RAM to give you top-end performance. The Tab S8 offers 128GB internal storage that is further expandable up to 1TB using the card slot. The tablet comes equipped with dual 13MP and 5MP sensors at the back, and an 8MP selfie camera on the front that helps you with video calls. The Galaxy Tab S8 packs a 8000mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging via USB Type C port. Other features on the Samsung Galaxy tablet worth talking about are face unlock, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Dolby Atmos speakers and USB Type C interface for wired music streaming. Other Samsung tablets in the market are Galaxy Tab A8.0, Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and the Galaxy Tab S7.
