Looking for the best Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 pre-order? We've just spotted these massive trade-in deals at Samsung that can get you one of the new tablets from just $99.99. Plus, if you buy directly from the manufacturer, you also get a Slim Keyboard Cover included for free.

Announced during today's Galaxy Unpacked event, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, S8 Plus and S8 Ultra are the latest in the manufacturer's range of high-end tablets. Prices start at $699.99, but Samsung is currently running an enhanced trade-in promotion for the pre-order period that save you as much as $600 on your chosen device.

In addition, any pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 or Galaxy Tab S8 Plus will come with a free Slim Keyboard Cover. If you choose to go for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra instead, your freebie is slightly upgraded to a Slim Keyboard Cover with backlight. Either way, that gift is worth up to an extra $349.99 in value. Remember, too, that all tablets in this range come with the S Pen stylus as standard.
