As the official launch of the Galaxy Tab S8 series is fast approaching, the three tablets are being leaked online. We recently learned that the most expensive Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is supposed to have a huge 14,6-inch screen. More recently, a massive leak revealed all their technical characteristics, confirming the previous information that appeared on the Web.
According to the latest news, Samsung should bet on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, Android 12 with the new One UI 4.1, Samsung S Pen, Gorilla Glass 5 glass protection, 8000 mAh, 10090 mAh and 11200 mAh batteries for the largest model. and charging at 45 W, like on the Galaxy S22.
As the number of leaks increases, Samsung has released a promotional photo of the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, the most premium and sophisticated version, on its official website. The image was uploaded to the support page for Bixby, the South Korean brand's voice assistant. The South Korean giant quickly removed the picture from its website. Thus, it is obvious that this was a simple developer error; or even a communication operation aimed at sparking interest across the band.
The image confirms the visualization that has already appeared on the canvas. As expected, Samsung puts the selfie photo sensor in a small notch above the screen. The tablet is visible in the background. In fact, details of the design of the touch pad were not disclosed. This "mistake" in any case confirms the imminent appearance of a line of tablets. They should hit the market shortly after the Galaxy S22, which will be released on February 8th.
Samsung maintains second place in tablet market
In the third quarter, global tablet shipments were down 15% year-over-year. According to Canalys analysts, this applies to sales of any tablet computer in all regions of the world; except for the Asia-Pacific region. Although Apple and Samsung are the top sellers, shipments have dropped noticeably; the Korean company is still among the leaders.
So, Samsung remains in second place. In three months, 7,2 million tablets were delivered; in total, 37,7 million tablets were sold worldwide in the third quarter. At the same time, in the corresponding period of last year, 9,03 million Samsung tablets were sold in the world.
