Samsung is releasing a new line of Samsung Galaxy Tabs tablets, and fans can expect three new models in the line-up - the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy S8 Plus, and the first-ever high-end Galaxy Tab model, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.
All three models will support Wi-Fi 6E and 45-Watt fast charging, and the S8 Plus and S8 Ultra will come with a new and improved S Pen stylus that uses a prediction algorithm for ultra-low latency.
The Tab S8 will be the smallest of the collection with an 11-inch screen, and a 2560 x 1600 resolution display. The Tab S8 Plus sports a larger 12.4-inch screen with a 2800 x 1752 display resolution.
