The 7 or 8 inch tablets don't sell well because the available ones are very basic ,being very slow, not enough Ram

Tablets aren't only just about size, you know. Some people buy tablets because they have no cellular connectivity, which is great as a gift for their kids. 8 inches is probably the ideal size for a kid to use.
I do agree with the 8.9" though, especially if it's at a 4:3 aspect ratio like the Nexus 9. Or a 8.4" 16:10 would be nice too.

We're getting closer and closer to that mark. I don't see the point of making 8-inch tablets, they don't sell well as they used to. Even, Apple is aware of this, hence why we rarely see iPad Mini upgrades. If some OEM does make a new 8-inch tablet, 8.9" is the sweetspot. Anything smaller than that is too small for me.

I still don't really see foldable or rollable phones becoming mainstream though. It's still going to a niche category of phones for this decade at least.
That being said, do you REALLY think normal phones will become 8 inches within the near future? Are you... positively 100% sure about that? I don't know about you, but it seems highly unlikely, and in my opinion an unwise direction.
I am genuinely willing to bet $100 that (normal) phones won't go up to 8 inches within this decade.
Will hold off to see what's the price for this one. Tab S6 Lite is down to 270$ on Best Buy, but I dont like that Exynos cpu
holding off to see refresh rate as I want to use for drawing

Shellyman Infinity, 17 May 2021What's the point of an 8-inch tablet when smartphones are getting closer to that size?I prefer to have a more compact phone for casual stuff and the tablet for multimedia and reading....check aspect ratios too....
They play a role in the overall size of the device
Pennss, 17 May 2021Have you ever noticed how big an 8 "display is in 16:10, compared to a smartphone in 20: ... more^This! Even 7" Tab with 16:9 screen is significantly bigger than recent 6.7" phone.
Even if it's only a minority, there's market for phones with extra large screens such as Samsung Note 1 - 4 or Galaxy Grand, Zenfone 6, and Mi Max.
X41, 17 May 2021Who would buy a 8 inch tablet when most phone are around 6.67Have you ever noticed how big an 8 "display is in 16:10, compared to a smartphone in 20: 9 ?? !!
Anonymous, 17 May 2021It's competing with the 300$ ipad which has better specsYeah but the iPad is is optimized like there is no tomorrow. That's the only reason why it seems better
The Tab S7 should have come with an AMOLED Display.
I hate LCD & Tab S7+ is not avail in Africa!!

The Pen makes the tab expensive.. hahaha
It should be $400 or lower (which should be a pretty good deal), but I am expecting $500+ since this is Samsung.
