Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE release date history
The Galaxy Tab FE is a fairly new addition to Samsung’s tablet series. It was first introduced with the Galaxy Tab S7 series, which was quite well-received as a toned-down budget version of Samsung’s expensive flagship tablet. Which probably prompted the company to continue the “Fan Edition” tab series.
Samsung follows a slightly different release window regarding the Tab FE. Check out the release date history below.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (Tab S7 & S7+) release date: August 2020
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S7FE release date: May 2021
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 (Tab S8, S8+ & S8 Ultra) release date: February 2022
For the Galaxy Tab S7 series, Samsung released flagship devices a year before launching the Galaxy Tab S7 FE. And the company is following the same pattern with the Galaxy Tab S8 FE, as the rest of the Tab S8 series devices were launched a year ago.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE release date prediction: when does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE release?
According to RGcloudS, Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Tab S8 FE at this year’s second Unpacked event in August. The tech giant will probably reveal the budget-friendly Tab S8 FE alongside the flagship Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. Other reports also indicate the devices’ August or September release date.
Last year, the Galaxy S7 FE was also revealed at this event, reinforcing the chances of the Tab S8 FE being revealed at the same event.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE specifications (predicted)
It is still early to say anything definitively about the specs of the upcoming budget Samsung tablet. We can paint a clearer picture with more leaks and tips in the coming days. But here’s what we have at the moment.
The Galaxy Tab S8 FE will reportedly launch with an LCD panel, not an AMOLED or OLED one. The resolution and refresh rate of the panel remains unknown at the moment. However, we have deduced Samsung has gone for the LCD panel to reduce the cost. If Samsung complements the LCD panel with a Wacom digitizer, the pen experience will still be great.
Apart from the panel, we only know Samsung has allocated model number ‘SM-X506B’ for the Galaxy Tab S8 FE, where the ‘B’ indicates a European variant. A GeekBench test has also revealed the MediaTek Kompanio 900T chipset will power the Tab S8 FE. It is a 6 mm processor, very similar to MediaTek Dimensity 900.
Currently, we have nothing more on Samsung’s new budget tablet. However, stay with us; we will update the page once we receive any new information.
