It has only been a few days since Samsung started accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Tab S8, but the company confirmed it has to pause it for now. The tech giant confirmed that it received an “overwhelming demand” for the new tablets, leading to the decision to temporarily halt the pre-orders from its own online store.
To recap, Samsung held its latest Unpacked event last week, where the three-device lineups of Galaxy Tab S8 and Galaxy S22 were unveiled. However, customers in the United States who are just going to pre-order the new tablets now will find the tablets currently unavailable on Samsung’s website.
Samsung confirmed to XDA that it decided to suspend Galaxy Tab S8 pre-orders after only a few days because the new tablets have been so popular since its launch. “We are thrilled by the consumer response to our new Galaxy Tab S8 lineup. Due to the overwhelming demand in the last 48 hours, we will be pausing pre-orders at Samsung.com for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S8,” Samsung said. “We are working quickly to meet consumer excitement and demand.”
When customers visit the Samsung US online store, they will find that the Galaxy Tab S8 and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra buttons are currently grayed out and marked sold out. That means they cannot place an order for now for any of its variants. The only model that can be ordered, as of this writing, is the Galaxy Tab S8+ with a Verizon line and 8GB / 128GB configuration for $1,099.99.
While Samsung did not mention it in its official statement, the postponement of Galaxy Tab S8 pre-orders is likely one of the effects of the continuing supply chain issues. It is worth noting that the Galaxy Tab S8 tablets are not scheduled to ship and hit the stores until Feb. 25. And the immediate suspension of pre-orders paints a picture of how the problems are still very much present even for major companies like Samsung.
Customers in other regions will have better luck in ordering the tablets, though, as the Galaxy Tab S8 models remain available for pre-order in Samsung sites for other countries. Meanwhile, all three variants of Galaxy S22 remain available in the Samsung US store.
