The Android tablet market has had its ups and downs, but Samsung seems to remain consistent in releasing new tablets. Samsung released tablets in almost all segments. Samsung is also starting to expand its high-end tablets to include more size and configuration options.
Slash Gear reports that next year, Samsung will release the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra which will blur the line between tablets and laptops.a
This tablet is said to be not only bigger, but potentially more powerful than any tablet Samsung has ever made.
According to a post on the Korean Client forum, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will use the upcoming Exynos 2200 with AMD graphics. The Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+, on the other hand, may only get the Snapdragon 895.
It's possible that Samsung adopts the necessary approach with its flagship phones, using Snapdragon chips for North America and China, and equips other models with Exynos SoCs, but that's just speculation.
Other specs for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra include 12GB of RAM and at least 256GB of hopefully expandable storage. An 11,500 mAh battery is also expected to support this tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 may be announced alongside the Galaxy S22 next year.
In theory, this would put the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra on par with the M1 iPad Pro. The latter is already seen as a hybrid laptop as it shares the same processor as the M1 Mac. Whether the Exynos 2200 will perform as well as the Apple M1 remains to be seen, although recent benchmarks suggest it at least outperforms the Apple A14 Bionic.
This model is estimated to cost around $1,320 or around Rp. 18.79 million in South Korea. It is predicted that the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will be the best Android tablet in 2021.
