Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab S8 series alongside the Galaxy S22 series at the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event. The three tablets in the family feature different sized displays and panel types. However, they come with fingerprint solutions from a common supplier – Goodix.

Goodix Technologies took to Weibo to disclose that the latest premium Android tablets from Samsung use its fingerprint solutions. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and the Galaxy Tab S8+ flaunt the company’s under-screen optical fingerprint solution. On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab S8 sports an ultra-narrow side capacitive fingerprint solution.

Additionally, Goodix is also the supplier of the touch controller for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s massive 14.6-inch WQXGA+ (2960 x 1848 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

The last time Goodix announced the presence of its tech in a major consumer product was in late December. The company revealed that the Xiaomi 12 Pro houses its first under-screen ambient light sensor.

As far as the Galaxy Tab S8 series is concerned, it is the successor of the Galaxy Tab S7 series from 2020. Instead of two models, the latest family includes three with the introduction of ‘Ultra’. The entire lineup consists of all the high-end features one can expect from premium Android tablets from Samsung.

All three of them are already up for pre-order in markets like the US. They will be available for purchase starting February  25.

Samsung did not launch the Galaxy Tab S8 series in 2021 due to the global semiconductor shortage. The successor to the premium Galaxy Tab S7 series is expected to release in early 2022. Ahead of that, we have been learning about these tablets via leaks and certifications for the past few weeks. Today, we get to know about the colors of these devices.

According to GalaxyClub, the Galaxy Tab S8 series by Samsung will be available in up to three colors. The vanilla and the plus models will come in three hues, while the Ultra will be only offered in a single color option.

Apart from colors, GalaxyClub does not say anything else about the upcoming premium Android tablets. But another recent report has revealed that these slates will exclusively use the next-gen Exynos chipset. 

However, Geekbench says that they will be driven by the successor of Snapdragon 888 and will boot Android 12. There’s a chance that the trio could be debut devices for Android 12L.

Lastly, as per renders, the Galaxy S8 Ultra will sport a notch. As far as design is concerned, the slates will look similar to the Galaxy Tab S7 series.
