In short
Tab S8 Ultra is the February 2022 $1,099.99 leftover first 14.6-inch Super AMOLED Ultra: 4nm octa-core, dual 12 MP front cameras, 11200 mAh, Graphite. Buy leftover if you want the first Ultra canvas. Skip it if you want current S11 Ultra silicon or IP68.
Who it is for
- Leftover shoppers who want the first 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S Ultra with dual 12 MP front cameras and up to 16GB / 512GB before the IP68 S9 Ultra redesign.
- People comparing Ultra vs S8 / S8+ on size, dual front cameras, RAM ceiling, and US start.
Who should skip it
- Anyone who wants the current Ultra. That is Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
- Buyers who want 11- or 12.4-inch carry. Those are Tab S8 / S8+.
- People who want a published IP68 rating. That starts at Tab S9 Ultra.
Key differentiators
- First Galaxy Tab S Ultra: 14.6-inch Super AMOLED, 2960 × 1848, 240 ppi, up to 120 Hz; Newsroom 6.3 mm bezel claim.
- Up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage; microSD 1TB. S8 / S8+ stop at 12GB / 256GB on the same table.
- Dual 12 MP front cameras (Wide + Ultra-Wide) plus 4K recording language Newsroom ties to Ultra.
- Graphite only on the Newsroom color row. US start $1,099.99.
Caveats
- 14-hour video, 90-minute 45W charge, 2.8 ms S Pen latency, and “thinnest bezel” are Samsung claims.
- Peak nits are not on the Global/Mobile Press tables we pulled.
- Samsung product photography is not hosted here.

Overview
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is Samsung’s February 2022 first 14.6-inch Tab S Ultra. Current Ultra sell-in is S11 Ultra. This hub stays so leftover shoppers have a tablets-v1 record instead of mixing first-Ultra rows with later IP68 / Dimensity sheets.
We have not used this tablet. 14-hour video, 90-minute charge, and 6.3 mm bezels stay Samsung claims.

Frequently asked questions
Is this still the current Ultra?
No. Current Ultra on 19 September 2026 is Tab S11 Ultra. This slug is the leftover first 14.6-inch Ultra.
Is the chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 1?
The Newsroom / Mobile Press tables we pulled say 4nm 64-bit octa-core. We do not invent a Qualcomm SKU name from a review.
