Probably, Samsung tablets are almost the only ones that can compete with the iPad. We’ve been saddened more than once that Android tablets, in contrast to phones, are inferior to Apple solutions, which is confirmed by sales statistics. In fact, Android can only offer cheap models, but here too Apple has squeezed by releasing an inexpensive basic iPad a couple of years ago. It is Samsung who tries its best to prove itself and shows that it is not going to put up with this state of affairs. And now we have received fresh confirmation that the company is preparing a new Galaxy Tab S8 + with excellent characteristics. True, it is naive to believe that it will be cheap.
Samsung’s new tablet might be like that, but I wouldn’t want that. And you?

What will be the new Samsung tablet
The information this time did not come from insiders or analysts who hypothetically talk about a product that might not have existed. In this case, we received evidence of the operation of a real-life tablet, which lit up in the test results on Geekbench.
He revealed several important pieces of information before the release of the new device. The well-received Galaxy S series tablets will soon have a new player. The upcoming series will replace the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7 + tablets. The long-awaited S series tablet has been featured in various rumors for a long time, but now it became clear that it really is on the way. Considering the popularity of the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7 + among the rest of the Android tablets, we really look forward to the new product.
Much to Samsung’s chagrin, some of the details of the upcoming Snapdragon 898 processor line, which will be in the new product, have often leaked online recently.
These characteristics will only get better.
Snapdragon 898 в Geekbench
For example, a Vivo phone with this processor appeared on Geekbench with no impressive results. Now the Galaxy Tab S8 + was found in the same place, but the result was not much better. It is worth noting that it is already quite good for a product that is not ready for release. This means that the performance will be better when it is fully ready.
SamMobile found a Samsung device with model number SM-X808U in the Geekbench database. As expected, this sheds light on device specifications and other important information. Thanks to her, we can know things like the operating system on which it will run. According to the publication, the aforementioned device is a variant of the upcoming Galaxy Tab S8 + with 5G support. However, according to the report, it is likely that the 5G model will be available exclusively in the US.
The published spec sheet suggests the Galaxy Tab S8 + will be powered by Qualcomm’s new flagship Snapdragon 898 processor. In addition, the device will reportedly come with 8GB of RAM and run Android 12 out of the box. Perhaps he will even receive the new Android 12L , presented some time ago, but so far we cannot say with certainty.
Samsung’s new tablet should compete with the iPad
What will be the name of the new Samsung tablet
As you can see above, the new Samsung device scored 1211 points in single-core and 3193 points in multi-core tests. Additionally, the Tab S8 + will be the mid-range variant of the upcoming Tab S8 lineup. Samsung may launch three tablets: Tab S8 Ultra, Tab S8 +, and Tab S8. The most noticeable difference between these models may be the display. The standard Tab S8 may have an 11-inch display. However, the Galaxy Tab S8 + is likely to have a larger 12.4-inch display.
The Tab S8 Ultra is rumored to have a 14.6-inch OLED display. Interestingly, all three displays will have to get 120Hz refresh rates despite their different sizes.
Samsung на Snapdragon и на Exynos
I will also add that almost certainly Samsung will release tablets on two versions of processors. In addition to the Snapdragon 898, it will be bundled with the Exynos 2200 in select markets. In addition, rumors have it that the Tab 8 lineup will offer support for 45W fast charging. And to further confuse the choice, versions will be offered exclusively with Wi-Fi and variants with 4G LTE and 5G.
