Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (2022)

Samsung's 2022 14.6-inch flagship was the first Galaxy Tab with an Ultra-class screen. It runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and uses a single USB Type-C port at USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gb/s) with DisplayPort Alt Mode — that wired video output is how you drive a monitor or TV with Samsung DeX. The same port handles 45W Super Fast Charging over USB-C PD. A microSD slot (UHS-I) takes cards up to 1 TB. POGO pins on the back attach the Book Cover Keyboard, and there is no 3.5mm headphone jack.

Samsung’s 14.6″ 2022 Ultra with a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port (DP Alt Mode for DeX, 45W charging), microSD, and a POGO keyboard connector.
