Release date, where to pre-order

PRE-ORDER: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 lineup is set to release on February 25. While Samsung itself has temporarily suspended pre-orders due to high demand, some third-party retailers still have them in stock as of February 14:

• Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 – from $699.99 (Amazon, Best Buy) + free keyboard cover

• Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ – from $899.99 (Amazon, Best Buy) + free keyboard cover

• Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra — from $1,099.99 (Best Buy) + free keyboard cover

Are you dying to get your hands on one of Samsung’s awesome new tablets? Like everyone else, apparently. In a statement to XDA Developers, the company revealed that it had to suspend US pre-orders for the new Galaxy Tab S8, S8+ and S8 Ultra just two days after they were announced due to “overwhelming demand”. (Last time we checked, the only one left in stock on its website was a basic rose gold S8+.)

Consider us a little disappointed: Anyone who bought one of the tablets directly through Samsung before its Feb. 25 release could get up to $600 in trade-in credit and a free keyboard cover worth up to up to $350. Fortunately, several third-party retailers are able to pick up the slack.

Here’s where you can still reserve the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup (and get pre-order bonuses) from February 14:

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

Details: Samsung’s new entry-level tablet features an 11-inch LCD display with 120Hz refresh rate, WiFi 6E, 12MP ultra-wide front camera with auto-framing technology, Dolby speakers Atmos, an 8,000 mAh battery with fast charging support and a 4nm chip — “the fastest processor ever in a Galaxy Tab,” says Samsung. Each comes with an updated, silky-smooth S Pen (for all you sketchers and digital note-takers) and is available in your choice of three colors: graphite, silver, or rose gold.

Where to pre-order: Amazon and Best Buy both had the S8 in stock at the time of writing. Reserve a 128GB model for $699.99, or double that storage for $779.99 — either way, you’ll get a free Galaxy Tab S8 Book Cover Keyboard Slim worth $139.99. Note that Best Buy also offered free three-month subscriptions to YouTube Premium and Webroot Internet Security Plus with antivirus (a $51 value).

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+

Details: The upgraded S8+ comes with a prettier 12.4-inch Super AMOLED display and a slightly longer 10,090mAh battery. Otherwise, its specs are largely identical to the standard S8 model. (Same processor, same camera configuration, same S Pen, same color options.)

Where to pre-order: Amazon and Best Buy will both give you a Galaxy Tab S8+ keyboard case worth $159.99 when you pre-order an S8+, though Best Buy is renewing Jeff Bezos with free YouTube Premium and Webroot subscriptions. No matter where you buy them, you’ll pay $899.99 for the 128GB model and $979.99 for the 256GB version.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

Details: With its 14.6-inch Super AMOLED display, dual 12MP front cameras for video calling, and powerful 11,200mAh battery, the stunning and gigantic The S8 Ultra is an obvious rival to Apple’s iPad Pro. (This new and improved S Pen stylus definitely gives it an edge for creatives.) It’s only available in Graphite, FYI.

Where to pre-order: Best Buy is the only place we managed to find the S8 Ultra in stock. Get a 128GB model with 8GB of RAM for $1,099.99, upgrade to the 256GB version with 12GB of RAM for $1,199.99, or splurge on the 512GB edition with 16GB of RAM for $1,399.99. All three come with a free Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Book Cover keyboard worth $349.99, plus three free months each of YouTube Premium and that Webroot antivirus program.
