5 Reasons to Wait for the Galaxy Tab S8 & 3 Reasons Not To

Wait for S Pen Upgrades

In addition to performance upgrades, Samsung always makes yearly upgrades to the S Pen experience. While we probably won't see a completely new stylus, we do expect Samsung to make changes.

In 2020, Samsung made some huge changes to the Galaxy Tab's S Pen. They included better battery life, a Bluetooth module and antenna, the S Pen button, better latency, and more. 

The Galaxy Tab S7 also has a magnet on the back where you can easily store it for safe keeping. As an added bonus, the stylus will also charge. 

Thanks to an FCC filing, we now know the Galaxy Tab S8 series will utilize the same S Pen as the Galaxy Tab S7 series. 

Again, given the changes it made in 2020, and rumors we've heard thus far, we probably won't see a huge overhaul. That said, you can expect Samsung to trot out some new software features that might appeal to those who still like using a stylus.

All three Galaxy Tab S8 models will reportedly come with an S Pen.
