The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is the base model in Samsung's 2022 Tab S8 lineup, built for anyone who wanted an Android tablet that could double as a light laptop replacement, with an included S Pen and an optional keyboard cover. It sits below the Tab S8+ and Tab S8 Ultra in screen size, but shares the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and the same productivity focus: split-screen multitasking, DeX mode, and a stylus that never needs pairing. Ten years after most flagship tablets stop getting updates, a Tab S8 in working order still has real resale value, especially with the S Pen and a charger in the box. Pick your connectivity and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit. If you're weighing this against an Apple tablet instead, you can also sell your iPad through the same process.

Confirm you have the Galaxy Tab S8

Open Settings → About tablet → Model number. The Wi-Fi only version and the cellular version report different model numbers, so this one screen tells you both which tablet you have and which connectivity variant it is. If the tablet won't power on, the model number is also printed in small text on the back panel, though you may need good light to read it.

SM-X700

  • Wi-Fi only, no SIM tray
  • Shows "Tab S8" under Settings → About tablet

SM-X706B

  • Wi-Fi + 5G cellular
  • Has a SIM/microSD tray on the frame

Prefer a visual check? The Tab S8 has an 11-inch flat display with slim, even bezels on all four sides. Look for a rear camera bump with two lenses stacked vertically, and an S Pen slot magnet on the back panel near the top edge. If you're not sure which Galaxy tablet is in front of you, Samsung's own model finder can walk you through it.

Core hardware

Processor

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (mobile platform for Galaxy)
  • Octa-core CPU with integrated Adreno GPU

Memory & storage

  • 8GB RAM across configurations
  • 128GB or 256GB internal storage
  • Storage is soldered, not user-upgradable
  • microSD card slot for expansion (cellular model)

Cameras

  • Rear: 13MP main, 6MP ultra-wide
  • Front: 12MP ultra-wide, auto-framing for video calls

The 256GB storage tier and the cellular variant both hold value better than the base 128GB Wi-Fi model, since neither can be added after the fact.

Display & audio

Display

11-inch LCD panel at 120Hz refresh rate, with support for the included S Pen across the full surface. It's sharp for document and web work, though it lacks the AMOLED contrast of the Tab S8+ and Ultra.

Audio

Quad AKG-tuned speakers with Dolby Atmos support, tuned to reorient depending on how you're holding the tablet.

Security

Fingerprint sensor built into the side power button, plus face recognition as a secondary unlock option.

Ports & connectivity

The Tab S8 uses a single USB-C port for charging and data, and adds a pogo-pin connector on the back edge for Samsung's keyboard cover accessory.

Bottom edge
  • USB-C (USB 3.2)
Back
  • POGO pin keyboard connector
  • microSD tray (cellular model)

S Pen included Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.2 Optional 5G IP68 rated DeX mode

Battery, build & more

Battery

8,000mAh, rated for a full day of mixed use. Battery health is one of the first things a buyer checks, so mention it honestly during grading.

Build

Armor Aluminum frame with an IP68 water and dust rating, a step up in durability from most Android tablets in its tier.

Software

Launched on Android 12 with One UI 4.1, and eligible for several years of OS and security updates from Samsung.

Accessories

The S Pen ships in the box at no extra cost. The keyboard cover and dedicated case are sold separately and, if you still have them, can be worth including with your sale.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Go to Settings → About tablet → Model number. That single screen shows whether you have the Wi-Fi only SM-X700 or the cellular SM-X706B. Storage capacity is listed a few lines down under Settings → About tablet → Storage, and RAM is fixed at 8GB across all Tab S8 configurations, so you only need to confirm connectivity and storage tier to describe your unit accurately.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Galaxy Tab S8+?
Screen size is the fastest tell. The Tab S8 has an 11-inch LCD display, while the Tab S8+ steps up to a 12.4-inch AMOLED panel and the Tab S8 Ultra goes further with a 14.6-inch AMOLED display and a notch for its front camera. If the screen fills most of the frame edge-to-edge with a visible camera cutout, you're holding the Ultra, not the base Tab S8.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or a locked account?
Yes, in most cases. A cracked screen, a battery that drains fast, or a unit that won't power on can still be sold, just select the matching condition above so the quote reflects it accurately. The one requirement is that any Google account or screen lock tied to Find My Device must be removed before shipping. A Google-locked tablet can't be resold or recycled properly, so it's typically declined until the lock is cleared.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Condition of the screen and battery health matter most, since both are expensive to repair and directly affect what a refurbisher can resell it for. Including the original S Pen, charger, and box also helps, as does the cellular variant over Wi-Fi only and higher storage over the base 128GB tier. A tablet that's been kept in a case with no cracks or heavy wear will consistently grade higher than one with visible screen damage.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Start by backing up anything you want to keep, then go to Settings → General management → Reset → Factory data reset. Before that, sign out of your Samsung account and Google account under Settings → Accounts and backup, so Factory Reset Protection doesn't lock the tablet for its next owner. Remove any inserted SIM or microSD card if you have the cellular model. Once accounts are cleared and the reset completes, ship it to us free of charge with insured shipping included. Payment goes out after our team tests the unit, and you can choose PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or a mailed check. Full step-by-step guidance is in our data erasure protocols.
