Thatās a great suggestion ā and one a lot of users would likely agree with.
Samsung doesnāt currently have a direct equivalent to the iPad mini in its Galaxy Tab lineup, which leaves a clear gap between their larger tablets (like the Tab S9 series) and their phones. Something in that 7.9 to 8.3-inch range ā with S Pen support, DeX capability, and premium screen quality ā would hit a sweet spot for many users who find phones too cramped and full-size tablets too bulky.
Hereās why your idea makes sense:
Portability: Easy to carry and hold with one hand ā great for reading, light editing, journaling, or media on the go
Productivity Boost: Just big enough for multitasking without dragging out a full-size device
Content Creation: Perfect for sketching, writing, streaming, or managing social platforms
Gaming and Live Streaming: Big enough for immersion, small enough not to be a burden

In the meantime, the closest Samsung has made in recent years was the Galaxy Tab A 8.0, but it lacked flagship features. A modern Galaxy Tab Mini Ultra or S9 Mini would definitely fill a real-world gap.
Let me know if youād like a mock spec sheet or concept outline ā Samsung does listen when enough voices request it.
