Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series
After launching the Galaxy S22 smartphone series, Samsung is now gearing up to launch the Galaxy Tab S8 series. The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series includes three new tablets, the Tab S8, Tab S8+ and Tab S8 Ultra. The new tablet will also see a low-latency S Pen to boost productivity. The products were launched in select markets alongside the S22 series during the Unpacked event on February 9.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has a 14.6-inch screen, the Tab S8+ has a 12.4-inch screen, and the Tab S8 has an 11-inch screen.
The Tab S8 Ultra has a dual front camera with 12 MP resolution and a 4 nm chipset. It comes with an 11,200mAh battery. It also has dual rear cameras. The S-Pen sticks magnetically to the back and can also be charged from there.
Likewise, the Galaxy Tab S8+ has a 10,090 mAh battery and the Tab S8 has an 8,000 mAh battery. The three tablets may not come with a charger in the box, but you’ll need to buy one separately.
The Tab S8+ has a 12-megapixel camera on the front and a dual lens on the back. It also uses a 4nm SoC. The Tab S8 also has the same camera and chipset features.
Oppo has launched a new high-end flagship Find X series of smartphones. Dubbed the Oppo Find X5 Pro and Find X5, the two new smartphones are likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. The Hasselblad branding first appeared on Oppo smartphones with the Find X5 series. Hasselblad already has a partnership with its sister company brand OnePlus.
The teaser hints that the Oppo Find X5 series will be aimed at night photography and will also correct overexposure in the footage.
The OnePlus Find X5 series also highlights the MariSilicon brand. This is the company’s in-house developed neural processing unit, also known as the NPU, which was announced during the Oppo Inno 2021 in December last year.
The Oppo Find X5 series will be displayed in two colors; white and black. The back design looks smooth and shiny. The back also shows triple lenses along with an LED flash.

Vivo will launch a new smartphone Vivo V23e in India tomorrow. The Chinese smartphone maker has launched two smartphones, the Vivo V23 Pro and the V23 series of the Vivo V23, in January this year. The V23 Pro and V23 are mainly launched in the high-end category, and only the 8GB version of the V23 is priced at Rs 29,990. Now it seems that the Vivo V23e will belong to the mid-range smartphone. The Vivo V23e will be broadcast live via social media channels at 12pm.
Vivo V23e images show the smartphone has a dewdrop display and a slim design. It has a triple camera on the back. A main camera, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a macro sensor can be seen in the image section. The Sunshine Gold colorway was presented in the hands of brand ambassador Virat Kohli.
Vivo may equip the V23e with a MediaTek chipset and 6GB of RAM. It’s more likely to run on Android 11 alongside Vivo’s FunTouch OS.
Its predecessor, the Vivo V23, runs Android 12 based on FunTouch OS 12 and has a 4,200mAh battery. It is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC. For photography, the V23 has a 64-megapixel primary lens, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. It also has dual selfie cameras with a resolution of 50MP + 98MP.
The Vivo V23e may get a more powerful battery, probably around 5,000mAh. Lens specifications may also be revised in the V23e.
