After months of speculation, the Tab S8 Series was finally revealed at Samsung’s February 2022 Galaxy Unpacked event.
The Tab S8 and S8+ represent minor upgrades over their predecessors from 2020, but the Tab S8 Ultra is a brand-new device. It increases the screen size to a huge 14.6in, introducing a notch for the very first time on a Samsung tablet.
How much does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Series cost?
Predictably, the cheapest tablet in the range is the regular Tab S8 – it starts at £649/$699. It’s available in Graphite (Black) or Silver in the UK, but US customers can also buy it in pink.
It’s the same scenario for the Tab S8+, which will set you back at least £849/$899 at launch.
For the new Tab S8+ Ultra, you’ll need deep pockets. It starts at £990/$1,099, while you’re limited to just the Graphite finish.
