By Prakhar Khanna Published May 11, 2022

Samsung looks all set to unveil its next generation of flagship Android tablets in the form of the Galaxy Tab S8 series. The devices are expected to be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S22 lineup next week. Ahead of the launch, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra pricing has also appeared online, thanks to a European seller.

A report from GSMArena reveals that the Galaxy S8 Ultra is listed for pre-orders in France. The device is listed for a price of 1,699 euros, which translates to around $1,915. However, this isn’t the starting price point. You will get the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant for that price, which is likely the highest-end model. It is listed as “in stock” but is likely to ship after February 9.

Samsung is once again betting on MediaTek to power its flagship tablet

Samsung’s flagship tablets could go a third year without a Qualcomm chip

Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Pen Up live drawing

Samsung appears ready to place another major bet on MediaTek for its most expensive Android tablet. After using the Dimensity 9300+ inside the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and the Dimensity 9400+ in last year’s Tab S11 Ultra, the company may stick with the chipmaker for a third consecutive generation.

A new Geekbench listing linked to the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra now gives that possibility more weight. The device carries the model number SM-X946B, closely following the SM-X936B used by its predecessor. Its processor configuration points toward MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500. The chip features one prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores, while the fastest core reaches 4.21GHz. Those details rule out Qualcomm’s last two flagship Snapdragon processors.

Apple’s new Upgrade plan won’t punish missed payments with restrictions, but three strikes could end your lease

Restricted Mode remains in iOS 27 beta, but Apple says it won’t be used for Upgrade payment defaults

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Apple recently announced its new Apple Upgrade leasing plan, which lets customers pay monthly for an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch through Klarna. The program replaces the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program and expands the option beyond phones for the first time.

However, code discovered by 9to5Mac in an iOS 27 beta raised concerns about what could happen if someone fell behind on payments. The new App Managed Features system appeared capable of checking a customer’s payment status and placing a financed device into Restricted Mode.
