Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE release date history
The Galaxy Tab FE is a fairly new addition to Samsung’s series of tablets. It was first introduced with the Galaxy Tab S7 series, which was quite well received as a toned-down budget version of Samsung’s pricey flagship tablet. Which probably prompted the company to continue the “Fan Edition” series of tabs.
Samsung is following a slightly different launch window over the Tab FE. Check out the history of release dates below.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE specs (expected)
It’s still too early to say anything definitive about the specs of Samsung’s next budget tablet. We can paint a clearer picture with more leaks and tips in the days to come. But this is what we have at the moment.
The Galaxy Tab S8 FE will reportedly launch with an LCD panel, not an AMOLED or OLED one. The resolution and refresh rate of the panel remain unknown at the moment. However, we have gathered that Samsung went with the LCD panel to reduce cost. If Samsung supplements the LCD panel with a Wacom digitizer, the pen experience will still be excellent.
Aside from the panel, we only know that Samsung has assigned the model number ‘SM-X506B’ to the Galaxy Tab S8 FE, where the ‘B’ indicates a European variant. A GeekBench test also revealed that the MediaTek Kompanio 900T chipset will power the Tab S8 FE. It is a 6mm processor, very similar to the MediaTek Dimensity 900.
Currently, we have nothing more on the new budget tablet from Samsung. However, stay with us; We will update the page once we receive new information.
