Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra looks to take on the iPad Pro

When it comes to tablets, professional or regular ones, Apple’s iPad enjoys market dominance. This is primarily because of Google’s sheer lack of interest in portable devices with bigger displays and hence there are only a few quality products that you can count on your fingers.

That being said, Samsung’s Galaxy tab range has been impressive of late and has tried filling the gap in the Android universe. Since its tables are available in global markets and are spread across the price gamut, you can call the Galaxy tabs the “Leader of the pack” in the Android part of the world.

Now, after gaining a foothold in the tablet, Samsung is looking to take on the iPad Pro head on. A now-deleted tweet has have given us a fair idea of what the next Samsung tablets could look like and their approximate price has been leaked as well.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Plus is going to be the second device in the lineup and for obvious reasons, it may come with better internal specifications. It is going to come with a 12.4-inch OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, an in-display fingerprint sensor and a massive 10,090 mAh battery pack. While it may weigh 575grams it could be slightly thinner than the vanilla variant at 5.7mm.
