Samsung is expected to launch its S8 range of flagship tablets alongside the Galaxy S22 smartphone at the Galaxy Unpacked event in February. The company accidentally leaked an image of the Galaxy Tab s8 Ultra on its website earlier this week. Now, full-blown retail listings for the entire lineup have been spotted.

The Galaxy Tab S8 series will offer three models, the vanilla Tab S8, Tab S8+ 5G, and Tab S8 Ultra. Listings for all three models were spotted on Amazon’s Italy website and have confirmed the product specifications and notched display design ahead of launch. Here’s a closer look at the details.

All the three models share some similarities, such as the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, the Adreno 730 GPU, support for expandable storage via a microSD card slot, a USB-C port, Bluetooth v5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, four stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and One UI 4.1 based on Android 12 installed from the factory.

The rear camera setup is also the same on all three Tab S8 models. It includes a 13MP primary shooter with an f/2.0 lens and a 6MP ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.2 lens. A black S Pen also comes bundled with all the models, irrespective of the color of the tablet.
