People like Android tablets? That is the bizarro world presented to us by the latest news from Samsung. The company made the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup available for preorder last week, and now Samsung says the tablet is so popular that it had to stop taking preorders.

XDA Developers noticed preorders were shut down for some models and got the following statement from Samsung:

We are thrilled by the consumer response to our new Galaxy Tab S8 lineup. Due to the overwhelming demand in the last 48 hours, we will be pausing preorders at Samsung.com for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S8. We are working quickly to meet consumer excitement and demand. Please stay tuned for more updates

Samsung launched three models of the S8 last week: the base model Tab S8, the Tab S8+, and the Tab S8 Ultra. Only the Tab S8+ is still up for sale, with the $699 Tab S8 and $1,099 Ultra model listed as "sold out."
