Android tablets might be showing new signs of life thanks to Google’s push with Android 12L, but Samsung never left the Android tablet market. Alongside Samsung’s announcement of the Galaxy S22, the company is also revving its tablet line, and for the first time ever, it’s supersizing Galaxy tablets with the Galaxy S8 Tab Ultra.

The Galaxy S8 Tab Ultra is a monster. Its 14.6-inch (370.8 mm), 120 Hz 2960 × 1848 OLED display has a 16:10 aspect ratio. The 326.4 x 208.6 x 5.5 mm (12.8 x 8.2 x 0.2 inch) aluminum body houses an 11,200 mAh battery, and it weighs a whopping 1.6 pounds (0.73 kg). It’s bigger than the top half of many laptops.

The keyboard case makes this tablet fully laptop-sized.

Samsung’s choice to build an ultrabig tablet came with the decision to slim down the bezels, which I don’t think anyone has ever asked for on a tablet. You can grip a smartphone around the side of it, so the bezel doesn’t contribute much. But you need something to hold onto with a tablet. Samsung went all out on the bezel war and added a MacBook Pro-like notch to the S8 Tab Ultra’s front display, which houses two 12MP front-facing cameras (one is a wide-angle lens).
