In short
Tab S8+ is the February 2022 $899.99 leftover 12.4-inch Super AMOLED flagship: 4nm octa-core, in-box BLE S Pen, 10090 mAh. Buy leftover if you want the 2022 Plus canvas before IP68. Skip it if you want current S11-class silicon or S8 Ultra’s 14.6-inch dual-front setup.
Who it is for
- Leftover shoppers who want the 2022 12.4-inch Super AMOLED Galaxy Tab S with an in-box BLE S Pen and 10,090 mAh before the IP68 S9+ redesign.
- People comparing S8+ vs S8 vs Ultra on panel (Super AMOLED vs S8 TFT), size, and battery.
Who should skip it
- Anyone who wants the current large-canvas flagship. Start at Tab S11 / S11 Ultra.
- Buyers who want the 11-inch S8 or 14.6-inch Ultra. Those are separate slugs.
- People who want a published IP68 rating. That starts at Tab S9.
Key differentiators
- 12.4-inch Super AMOLED, 2800 × 1752, 266 ppi, up to 120 Hz.
- 10,090 mAh typical; Newsroom footnote 12: 13 hours of video playback for Tab S8+.
- On-display fingerprint (not the 11-inch side key). In-box BLE S Pen; 2.8 ms latency footnote shared with Ultra.
- Newsroom processor row is “4nm 64-bit Octa-Core Processor.” Do not invent Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Caveats
- 13-hour video, 80-minute 45W charge, and 2.8 ms S Pen latency are Samsung claims.
- Peak nits are not on the Global/Mobile Press tables we pulled.
- Samsung product photography is not hosted here.
