[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] "Normally, we would not have released press materials before the event."

Famous IT tipster Evan Blass, who shared a meaningful tweet, revealed press materials related to Samsung Electronics' new tablet PC, the Galaxy Tab S8 series, through an email titled "Whoops" on the 7th (local time). It is presumed that the document was intended for use at the Galaxy Unpacked (new product launch) event on the night of the 10th (Korean time).

According to the document, the product specifications appear similar to previously disclosed information. The S8 series is expected to be released in three models: standard, Plus (+), and Ultra. This is the first time Samsung has used such naming for its tablet lineup, and it seems that all models come equipped with the S Pen. Prices are expected to be ▲Standard 829,000 KRW ▲Plus 1,149,000 KRW ▲Ultra 1,469,000 KRW.

Detailed specifications of the three Galaxy Tab S8 series models contained in the document Evan Blass disclosed via email on the 7th (local time)

According to earlier information, the S8 Ultra is expected to feature a 14.6-inch Super OLED display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 application processor (AP), and a large-capacity battery of around 11,200mAh. The refresh rate is 120Hz, and it is expected to support 45W fast charging. RAM capacity is up to 16GB, and storage is up to 512GB. The Plus model includes the same accessories. It supports a 12.4-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a Super AMOLED screen. The battery is 10,090mAh and supports 45W fast charging. RAM capacity is 8GB, and storage is up to 256GB. The standard model features an 11-inch LCD display with the same 120Hz refresh rate. It has an 8,000mAh battery and also supports 45W fast charging. Like the Plus model, it supports 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage.

According to the document, the S8 series uses environmentally friendly materials. The product packaging utilizes sustainably produced paper materials, and the packaging has been reduced to the smallest amount ever. The S8 series will officially launch in the U.S., Europe, and Korean markets starting on the 25th. Ultra model pre-orders will receive a book cover keyboard, while Plus and standard models will receive a slim version of the book cover keyboard. Samsung Care+ will be available except in some U.S. regions.

Meanwhile, Samsung has taken preemptive measures to prohibit sharing of rendering images and videos posted on Twitter by IT tipsters such as Kim Do-hyun and Evan Blass due to copyright infringement concerns. While there is a positive marketing effect from revealing new product information, there are also concerns that it could dampen the excitement of the main event.
