It comes with 8/12 GB of RAM and a choice 128/256 GB ROM choice. Add Android 12, with the One UI 4.1 skin on top and you have an excellent flagship device. Add to Samsung’s ingenious software and hardware integration, they have found a way to extract performance from this device, to the maximum possible extent. It comes with dedicated expandable storage.
Camera
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is, like most tabs, is not large on cameras, but it still keeps a dual-camera arrangement on the back. It comes with a 13MP wide primary sensor, for those excellent daylight photos. They also throw in a 6MP wide sensor, which is important for those landscape and group photos that tablets are usually in use for. With great software integration and post photo processing, it does deliver decently.
The video can support up to 4K video at 60 fps, with HDR support & gyro-EIS, in addition to 1080p at 30fps. The selfie camera is a decent 12MP and can impressively also record in 4K at 60 fps in addition to 1080p at 30 fps.

Other specifications
The beauty of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is that first of all you get to enjoy the Samsung DeX experience. We get USB-C, with very fast 45W fast charging but no wireless charging in this unit. This is in addition to a massively huge Li-Po 8000 mAh non-removable battery. It can get fully charged in just over 80 minutes. The unit has great battery management largely due to software optimization and the low-power TFT screen.
It is available in both cellular and Wi-Fi models. Not to forget the productivity advantage of having a native Stylus pen, which is housed in the back magnetically, and great software integration, like many tablets before it. These tablets are bonafide workhorses straight out of the box. It comes in Gray, Silver, and Pink Gold
