Feel free to review our Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ review from 2021 and our Microsoft Surface Pro 7 review from 2020 for additional detail. We’ve included what we know of the Surface Pro 8 specifications, below.
Microsoft doesn’t appear to have made many other changes to the Surface Pro 8 hardware, especially in terms of memory and storage-though only the low-end 128GB and 256GB SSDs are removeable. The Surface Pro 8 also includes a color sensor that will adjust the display’s color to compensate for the ambient light, a nifty touch. In other words, the display will now expose your camera during a Teams call properly, lighting your face to best advantage. Interestingly, Microsoft has taken the user-facing camera and has added sensors that adjust for exposure and color. Microsoft’s Surface cameras have been beefed up too, with a more powerful 10 megapixel rear camera. Microsoft doesn’t list a SIM slot among its port selection, however, so it’s possible only eSIMs will be supported. Inside the Surface Pro 8 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 LTE modem, supporting both removable SIM and eSIMs.
You’ll still have the option to use older Surface Pro Type Covers with the new Surface Pro 8, but you obviously won’t be able to take advantage of the new pen cubby or charging features with those.įinally, there a few other subtle bonuses: Cellular connectivity appears on the majority of the Surface Pro 8 models, though there’s still a Wi-Fi only option on the low end of Surface Pro 8 commercial offerings. We do know, however, that the new Surface Pro Signature Keyboards will still be sold separately, as well as the Slim Pen 2. However, Microsoft did say that the new haptic experiences will only be available with the Surface Pro 8 and its stunning new Surface Laptop Studio.
Microsoft didn’t reveal key details, such as the charging time and battery life of the Slim Pen 2. The Surface Slim Pen 2 will also offer greater precision and lower latency when inking compared with its predecessor, the Surface Slim Pen, Microsoft said, sensing up to 4,096 levels of pressure. The pen has haptic motor inside that simulates the way in which real pens interact with paper. Here, Microsoft’s cubby hides and charges the new Surface Slim Pen 2 (sold separately). Microsoft’s new Surface Pro Signature Keyboards now include a pen cubby, another way in which the Surface Pro X paved the way for the Surface Pro 8. Black isn’t a color option this time around, with Platinum and Graphite as the available choices. But at 1.96 pounds, it’s also slightly heavier. Physically, the Surface Pro 8 is surprisingly a bit smaller than its predecessor, even with the larger screen-that likely means that the bezels have shrunk significantly.
