After [accidentally leaking]( the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G on its own support pages, Samsung subsequently also listed both that and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ on Amazon in France. Why does it matter? The listings revealed some key specifications, prices, as well as images of each of the forthcoming Android tablets. What's my take? The listings have all been removed of course, which only adds to their credibility. Leaks are nothing new, but it's good to see that Samsung still believes in Android when it comes to tablets and that it's launching not just one, but multiple variants in the coming weeks. Now we just need to wait to see how they perform. And, with an event slated for presumably this range and the next iteration of the Galaxy S line on 8 February, we won't have too long to wait. Instagram launches subscriptions to help creators earn income from followers Instagram What's happened? Instagram will [soon]( allow users to subscribe to their favourite creators in order to gain access to exclusive content. Why does it matter? The social network is trialing this experience with a small number of creators and influencers - 10, to be exact, including basketball player Sedona Prince and Olympian Jordan Chiles. What's my take? Another potential subscription you'll have to add to your monthly outgoing then. I'm not sure how many more subscriptions people will be able to take. - [29 top tips and tricks to win at Instagram]( A MESSAGE FROM SPONSOR EcoFlow's new DELTA Pro ecosystem is the perfect backup for your home Ecoflow The [EcoFlow DELTA Pro ecosystem]( offers a massive 3.6kWh of power from a single unit.
