In addition to the flagship Galaxy Tab S8 series, Samsung also has an affordable Android tablet at work. The new tablet, called the Galaxy Tab A8 (2021), appeared in a render that was leaked before its launch.
Well, we’ve seen the device in renders before, but the latest leak (via) is without any watermark, which gives us a more clear look. The latest leak shows the tablet in multiple colors.
The Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) has a budget look with large bezels around the display. We have the only front-facing camera that sits on the top bezel when you hold the device in landscape orientation.
In that trend, you will find a USB Type-C port and two speaker grills on the right edge. The tablet has a quad-speaker setup, as well as two other speakers on the left side. There is also a microphone hole on the left edge.
The power button and volume control are located on the top edge along with a second microphone hole. The SIM tray is at the bottom. We can also see the 3.5mm headphone jack port in the top right corner. On the back, the Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) has a single camera and much more. There is also no LED flash on the back.
In particular, we expect a 10.5-inch LCD panel with full HD + resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. It is reported that there is a UNISOC processor under the hood, Samsung is offering a maximum of 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The cameras are a 5-megapixel sensor (front) and an 8-megapixel sensor (rear). The tablet is powered by a 7,040mAh battery.

Samsung is set to revolutionize its wearable game with a 3nm Exynos W1000 processor. The company officially launched its first 3nm processor, not for mobile but wearable devices. The chipset is set to debut with Samsung’s upcoming smartwatch models.
The Exynos W1000 wearable processor is manufactured on an advanced 3nm process by Samsung. The Korean tech giant is said to have utilized Samsung Foundry’s second-generation 3nm node. The chip is equipped with a Cortex-A78 CPU core for enhanced performance.
Exynos W1000’s CPU is quite powerful, featuring 1x Cortex-A78 and 4x Cortex-A55. As for the graphics, the new Exynos packs Arm Mali-G68 MP2 GPU, supporting screens with resolutions up to 640 x 640 pixels.
It is expected to offer 2.7x faster app launch times compared to the Exynos W930. In addition, the performance in single-core benchmark is 3.4x faster, while 3.7x faster in multi-core.
The company’s new wearable processor also enables faster app switching. Apart from 32Gb integrated internal memory, it incorporates many new technologies for size reduction and performance/efficiency increment.
Exynos W1000 also packs a 2.5D always-on display (AOD) engine. It is slated to offer an enhanced display and watch faces with rich details. Each element of the AOD UI is ultra-clear and easy to check.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7 series will pack this newly launched processor. Apple’s Watch Ultra 2 packs an S9 processor, which is manufactured on 4nm process technology.
As the popularity of wearables increases, upgraded chips may give an edge to Samsung. The first Watch Ultra by Samsung is unquestionably coming to compete with Apple’s Watch Ultra segment.
Last but not least, Samsung revealed Exynos W1000 has Bluetooth LE for audio and LPDDR5 RAM for enhanced power efficiency. The platform’s connectivity features include 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, and NFC.
Samsung recently revealed details of the July 2024 security along with the revised list of the software update plan for Galaxy devices. Through this list, Samsung has officially announced the discontinuation of updates for the Galaxy A21s.
Launched in 2020, Samsung Galaxy A21s has completed its update cycle as per the company’s policy. This smartphone will no longer receive new Android updates beyond version 12 and the latest security patch released in May 2024.
Samsung Galaxy A21s is an affordable Galaxy A series smartphone and features an innovative front camera design. But now, users of this smartphone will no longer get regular software updates.
Despite the end of software updates, the Galaxy A21s continues to function normally and remains safe for use with compatibility for common applications like banking apps on Android 12. Instead, the phone will continue to receive Google Play system updates, ensuring important security features remain up-to-date.
Users of the Galaxy A21s can look forward to newer models such as the Galaxy A15, A25, and A35, which offer enhanced features and the latest software.
Samsung is working on Galaxy S25 (not Plus) and S25 Ultra, expected to launch in January next year. The company is expected to change with its next flagship lineup radically. A new report suggests that the change won’t be limited to design refreshment but also simplify the series.
AndroidHeadlines spotted Samsung developing Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra. Unfortunately, the source failed to fetch the existence of the Galaxy S25 Plus. This means the Korean tech giant may abandon the Plus model to simplify the flagship lineup.
In its own database, the outlet spotted the existence of the S25 and S25 Ultra. The lack of the Plus model aligns with previous rumors about the company discontinuing the Plus variant. The rumor was for Galaxy S24 Plus, but seemingly becoming true next year.
Per the report, the Galaxy S25 is available with the model number SM-S931B/DS in the IMEI database. Besides, the S25 Ultra appears under SM-S938B, SM-S938U, SM-S938N, and SM-S9380 model numbers—where “B” stands for Global, “U” for USA, and “N” for South Korea.
Plus going away?
It won’t be quite surprising if Samsung cancels the Plus variant in 2025. It has been observed that the middle child somehow fails to gain sales momentum. This year, Samsung brought many fruitful upgrades to Galaxy S24 Plus, but Standard and Ultra sold the most.
Since 2020, Samsung launched three variants of its Galaxy S flagship series – Standard, Plus, and Ultra. As the Note lineup has been discontinued, the foldable segment is gradually entering the mainstream. Further simplification might be done with the Galaxy S25 series by ditching Plus.
