Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra looks like a large deal, but when considering the rumored announcements for this week'due south Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event, don't overlook the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. If the rumors are right, this volition be Samsung's biggest tablet ever and it will literally make the iPad Pro look like an iPad mini by comparison.

Simply it's not just the size of the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra that has me excited for what could exist one of the all-time tablets of 2022. The Tab S8 Ultra is tipped to become the aforementioned powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 scrap as the Galaxy S22 models, an included S Pen, a seriously awesome OLED brandish and an optional full-sized keyboard. In other words, this premium tablet could seriously replace a laptop for some users.

I never get excited about Android tablets, only the rumored Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is an exception. Here's why.

Huge fourteen.6-inch display in a very compact pattern

While the iPad Pro maxes out at 12.ix inches, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is tipped to feature a ginormous fourteen.6-inch AMOLED display. Then that'due south even bigger than the console on the fourteen-inch MacBook Pro.

The quality should exist stellar, besides, as the Tab S8 Ultra's screen is expected to used AMOLED technology while offering a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution of 2960 x 1848 is a bit behind the iPad Pro (2732 10 2048) but that should still be plenty sharp for running multiple apps at once.

I'g not a fan of the rumored notch on the top of the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra brandish, merely it doesn't similar it will exist as well big of an eyesore.

S Pen included with serious performance boost

Apple tree charges $129 for the Apple Pencil (2d gen) but the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is supposed to include the South Pen. Some other plus? The S Pen is tipped to offering a super low latency of just 2.eight milliseconds, which should translate into smooth writing and drawing functioning on the tablet.

Information technology weighs how much?

If the leaks are accurate, the Milky way Tab S8 Ultra could weigh just 1.4 pounds. That would exist remarkably low-cal for a 14.6-inch slate. By comparison, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch weighs 1.51 pounds. What we don't know is how much the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra weighs when the rumored optional keyboard is attached, but I would be surprised if it was over iii pounds.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is as well rumored to be just 0.ii inches thick, compared to 0.25 inches for the iPad Pro.

Faster charging

The iPad Pro doesn't claim to offer fast charging, and its 20W charger isn't very fast. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is rumored to support a 45W fast charger to charge its alleged 11,200 mAh bombardment. We don't know how quick this will juice up the tablet, but it sounds similar an improvement over Apple'due south slate.

Made for video calls

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will allegedly feature dual 12MP cameras upwardly front — regular and ultra-wide — compared to i 12MP shooter for the iPad Pro. This would presumably enable y'all to fit more than of the scene in the frame if yous're belongings a video conference with multiple people with y'all. All the same, nosotros don't know if Samsung will offer a Center Stage-like feature that seems to follow y'all around every bit you move.

The rear of the Milky way Tab S8 Ultra is rumored to sport a 13MP wide camera and 6MP ultra-wide camera.

Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra outlook

We won't know all the specs and features of the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra until Samsung Unpacked gets underway on Feb 9 — and there'south also the big question about what Samsung is doing to optimize Android for what could be a very, very big screen.

But at to the lowest degree based on what I'm hearing, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra could exist a more than feasible laptop replacement than the iPad Pro. Stay tuned to encounter which rumors pan out and how this tablet stacks upwardly to Apple's.
