Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra launched in 2022 as Samsung's largest and most capable Android tablet, built for people who wanted a laptop-replacement device with a pen built into the workflow rather than sold separately. Its 14.6-inch AMOLED panel and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset made it a target for designers, note-takers, and anyone running Samsung DeX as a desktop stand-in. Because Samsung never released a direct successor at this exact size and price tier, well-kept Tab S8 Ultra units continue to hold decent resale demand. Pick your storage and connectivity above to see a live cash offer, or read below to confirm you have the right model and check the condition grading. You can also see how the process works before you commit, or compare it against other slates on our tablet buyback page.

Confirm you have the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

Open Settings → About tablet on the device itself. This screen shows the model number, storage capacity, and RAM, which is the fastest way to confirm exactly what you are holding before you accept an offer. If the tablet won't power on, check the original box or the sticker inside the SIM/microSD tray for the same information.

Wi-Fi only

  • No SIM tray anywhere on the frame
  • Settings shows no mobile network or SIM option
  • Connectivity list under Settings → About tablet omits a carrier/IMEI field

Wi-Fi + Cellular

  • SIM tray present, usually on the top edge
  • Settings → Connections shows a Mobile networks entry
  • An IMEI number appears under Settings → About tablet

128GB configuration

  • Settings → About tablet lists roughly 128GB total storage
  • Ships with 8GB of RAM

256GB configuration

  • Settings → About tablet lists roughly 256GB total storage
  • Ships with 12GB of RAM

Prefer a visual check? The Tab S8 Ultra is the only Galaxy tablet with a camera notch cut into the display for two front-facing lenses side by side. It also has a magnetic S Pen slot on the back panel and quad speaker grilles along the top and bottom edges. If you are unsure which exact model you have, our model finder can help.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
  • Same chip across both storage tiers and both connectivity options

Graphics

  • Adreno 730 integrated GPU
  • Handles Samsung DeX and multi-window multitasking without a discrete card

Memory & storage

  • 128GB storage paired with 8GB RAM
  • 256GB storage paired with 12GB RAM
  • RAM is soldered and not upgradable
  • microSD slot expands storage beyond the built-in tier

The 256GB configuration moves resale value the most, since the extra RAM improves multitasking on top of the larger storage pool.

Cameras

  • Rear: 13MP wide plus 6MP ultra-wide
  • Front: dual 12MP wide and 12MP ultra-wide, positioned for landscape video calls

Display & audio

Display

14.6-inch Super AMOLED panel running at 120Hz with HDR10+ support. It is the largest screen Samsung has put on a Galaxy Tab, and AMOLED panels can develop faint burn-in with years of static use, which is worth checking before you list a condition grade.

Audio

Quad speakers tuned by AKG with Dolby Atmos support, split across the top and bottom edges so sound stays balanced in either orientation.

Security

A side-mounted fingerprint sensor built into the power button. There is no under-display or face-unlock biometric on this model.

S Pen

Included in the box at no extra cost, with a magnetic slot on the back panel for storage and charging. Low input latency makes it a genuine note-taking and sketching tool rather than an afterthought accessory.

Ports & connectivity

The Tab S8 Ultra keeps a single physical port and leans on wireless standards for everything else.

Wired
  • USB-C 3.2 port for charging and data
  • Pogo-pin connector on the back edge for the optional keyboard cover
Wireless
  • Wi-Fi 6E on the Wi-Fi only model
  • Wi-Fi 6 plus 5G on the cellular model
  • Bluetooth 5.2
  • GPS, GLONASS, and other satellite positioning

S Pen included 120Hz AMOLED Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 IP68 rated Quad AKG speakers Samsung DeX microSD expandable Dual front cameras

Battery, build & more

Battery

An 11,200mAh battery, one of the largest Samsung has fitted into a tablet, with fast charging over USB-C.

Finishes

Sold in Graphite and Silver. The aluminum unibody scratches more visibly on Silver units, which is worth noting when you grade cosmetic condition.

Software

Shipped on Android 12 with One UI 4.1, and eligible for several years of Android and One UI upgrades. Samsung DeX is built in for a desktop-style windowed interface.

Accessories

The S Pen ships in the box. A book cover keyboard was sold separately and adds resale value if you still have it.

Market positioning

Positioned at the top of Samsung's tablet lineup, competing directly with larger iPad Pro configurations. Demand stays strongest for units in clean cosmetic condition with the original S Pen included.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Go to Settings → About tablet on the device. This screen lists the model number, storage capacity, and RAM in one place. If the tablet is dead or won't boot, check the sticker inside the SIM or microSD tray, or on the original retail box, for the same details.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Galaxy Tab S8+?
Screen size and the front camera layout are the clearest tells. The Tab S8 Ultra has a 14.6-inch display with two front cameras set into a notch cut directly into the screen. The Tab S8+ has a smaller 12.4-inch display with a single front camera and no notch. The base Tab S8 is smaller still, at 11 inches. If you're not sure which one is in front of you, Settings → About tablet will confirm the exact model.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or an account lock?
Yes, in most cases, and the condition picker above accounts for cracked screens, weak batteries, and units that won't power on by adjusting the quote rather than rejecting the device outright. What you cannot ship is a tablet still tied to a Samsung account or Google account. Remove Find My Mobile lock and sign out of your Google account before you send it in, or the unit can't be resold and may not be accepted.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Clean cosmetic condition and a complete accessory set matter most. An AMOLED screen free of scratches or burn-in, an S Pen that still charges and pairs, and the original charger or keyboard cover all push the offer higher. The 256GB configuration also holds more value than the 128GB tier, since it carries more RAM alongside the extra storage.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Start by signing out of your Google account under Settings → Accounts, then remove any Samsung account and disable Find My Mobile under Settings → Security and privacy. Next, go to Settings → General management → Reset → Factory data reset to wipe the tablet completely. Once you accept your quote, we send a free, insured shipping label. Payment goes out after our team tests the device, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full erasure steps are covered in our data erasure protocols.
