At the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event, Samsung announced the new Galaxy Tab S8 series of Android tablets.
The GALAXY TAB S8 series is a high -end product that uses the latest 8 -core processor of the same 4NM process as the smartphone Galaxy S22 series announced at the same time.
In addition to the 11 -inch LCD display Galaxy Tab S8, the 12.4 -inch organic EL Galaxy Tab S8+, the Galaxy Tab is the first 3 -sized medium -sized medium -sized medium -sized small medium -sized small, including the 14.6 -inch Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, which is the first "Ultra".
It also supports the Galaxy Tab series traditional S-PEN stylus, has a smooth writing comfort at a response speed that has been reduced by 30 % further than the previous model, and a function that makes a pen a camera or presentation remote control with Bluetooth connection.
Galaxy Tab S is a series alongside the smartphone Galaxy S, but the previous generation Galaxy Tab S7 / S7+ was released in 2020.In 2021, only the low -priced Galaxy Tab S7 FE (Fan Edition) appeared, so Galaxy Tab S8 / S8+ / / S8 ULTRA is the first new generation model in two years as a tablet flagship.
The feature of this TAB S8 series is that it has become the same three -size natural world of "Muji Plus Ultra" as the smartphone's Galaxy S series.Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra adopts a 120Hz drive Super Amored panel at 14.6 inch 2960 x 1848 (16:10).Because the vertical and horizontal ratio is different, it cannot be compared as it is with the diagonal inch number, but the screen is about 20 % wider than the iPad Pro 12.9 inches.
Despite the large screen, the surrounding bezel is about 6.3mm, the thinnest in the Galaxy Tab S series.The thickness is 5.5mm thinner than the iPad Pro 12.9 inch 6.4mm.On the other hand, by adopting "Armor Alminium" as the material, the bend tolerance is 40%more than Tab S7.
According to Samsung, the reason for putting the "Ultra" tablet on the large screen is that the demand for high -performance large tablets has increased due to generalization of teleworks and video calls and the spread of entertainment apps such as streaming video services.
Among them, as a specification for telework and video calls, a dual configuration of 12MP and a super wide angle 12MP was adopted for the front camera.It has a 120 -degree ultra -wide -angle camera and AI auto reflection function, and even if the subject moves around the room, even if the second person enters the frame, it will zoom in and follow.
The noise cancellation by a microphone installed in three places in the housing is also a function for video calls.Interesting places are also equipped with a function that allows you to easily record content that can easily record "content that shows your face while operating the screen", such as teaching materials, by repeating the front camera at the same time as the screen recording.
As a function that makes use of the large screen, including telework, the multitasking function, which is proud of Samsung, has evolved.You can use three apps at the same time by dividing the screen in three as standard.
Although Android supported the screen split multi -window from an early stage, the OS side was also half -finished, and the app was also available.However, Google has been enhanced to multitasking and multi -windows, including folding smartphones, such as distributing Android 12L of OS for tablets that enhanced multitasking and distributing a corresponding guidelines to developers.I feel like I'm catching up with Galaxy.
Speaking of multitasking, the function of using Galaxy Tab S as an additional display of PC is also enhanced.Along with the Windows PC, you can also use the apps that require handwriting to the Galaxy Tab S.
As a device linkage, CLIP STUDIO PAINT, a standard paint software equipped, also has a function to use the tablet side to the smartphone and use it.
