Android tablets allow more things to be done in the practical world. It's more like a PC, way more PC than iPAD OS.

[@themrphone]

I know right. I mean yes the iPad Pros top the benchmarks, they have the raw power and all that jazz, but in the real world what do I do with all that power when my work problems are not able to be sorted. So, the Tab S8+ has definitely been a great experience for me. No longer I am needing to carry my mac everywhere.

[@ИннаЗемцова-ц2х]

It's been a couple months now since I've bought this tablet and it is great. kzbin.infoUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS The tablet is responsive and runs well. There were a few times that the tablet did an awkward thing where it would detect pen on at all times and wouldn't register finger press, but it is usually fixed by closing and opening either the screen or app. This is highly likely due to my excessive use for drawing which caused this and wasn't really very big. As I mostly enjoy using the tablet for drawing (and some light gaming), I would comment from that aspect that there is definitely more accurate pressure and drawing using a PC device and drawing tablet, however i find the moveablity of the tablet more enjoyable to draw on. Like how you can physically rotate and move a piece of paper around or even draw casually on your bed.All in all, as a tablet it is good, and as a drawing device can be good depending on what you want from a drawing device. It is definitely good enough if you just want to use it to take notes. For typing though I can't comment on the keyboard as I did not get the keyboard.

[@hybridinfodesk409]

The charger for me wasn't a big deal. Have two 45W and one 65W. Plus a boatload of the 25W. The feedback on the k keyboard. He is the first person I've heard needed haptic feedback. My Tab S8+ keyboard is a smooth as butter and I use it for ţyping 95% of the time. Just hooked a Bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad to it today, works flawlessly.

[@hybridinfodesk409]

@@sam_yt_id Not that I have noticed.

[@muthmainnahj.abdullah248]

I'm considering whether it's still a good idea to purchase the S8+ with 256GB (excluding Samsung Keyboard with trackpad) later in the mid of 2024 or if it would be more prudent to go for the S9 with 128GB (including Samsung Keyboard with trackpad)?? both options have similar prices

[@aasthaanthwal9602]

Hi, I am a 1st year medical student and I am thinking about buying this but I am worried will it be able to last for at least 4-5 years without much issue as ipads last atleast 4-5 easily .

[@captmaat]

Are there other keyboard covers for the Tab S8 plus aside the original Samsung book cover? Would be nice for Logitech to release one…

[@mrsmith7751]

I loved my tab s8 but I returned it for the iPad Pro which was $100 off. The future proofing and future resell price are just too much to ignore. I really don’t do anything on the tab different then the iPad and I really don’t use the spen so I won’t need the apple pen. I’m happy with the pro and knowing support with apple is much longer. My iPad mini 4 got the iOS 15. Any Samsung tablet that old would already be forgotten by Samsung .

[@minimalist1911]

Hey Aman, please update this review once it recieves the Android 12 L update for tablet optimization. Might be a game-changer....

Ipad pro 11inch or S8 plus? Plz suggest me.

[@abishaynarain]

S8 plus if u are not a gamer

[@rameshs2539]

256 gb for S8,S8+ is NOT available in India market

[@adik176]

Would you suggest to go with it or S7+ for new buyer ? Do you think in upcoming date , price of s8+ get lower ?

[@themrphone]

See unless and until, hardcore gaming doesnt matter to you, I'd say go for the S7+ because if you really need that gaming superiority, the S8+ is all day better than the S7+. Not that S7+ is any slouch, as it also has the SD865 chip, but performance courtesy of the SD 8 Gen 1 on the Tab S8+ is superb. So if gaming is high priority, Tab S8+ otherwise the Tab S7+ will work just fine for you. And no idea currently on the price drops. In fact, the pre-orders are already going delayed because of the high demand, so in my opinion, I don't see a price cut taking place any time soon.

[@rdutta5368]

After 5 years, won't S8 plus become sluggish in comparison to latest iPad pro ? I think in the long term iPad pro will be snappy than S8 plus and this is where iPad pro with M1 chip has this advantage. What is your view on this ?

[@52incredible]

even though ipad has M1 chip , Apple will slow it down through updates intentionally. Apple has done that before in the past and still does it. Also, there is not much you can do to use that M1 chip.

[@themrphone]

Hey R Dutta! It's an interesting thought you put there, but let me try to break it down for you. The reason people will be able to keep the S8 or the iPad for another 5 years or so is because of the fact that smartphone companies have realised that people nowadays hold on to their devices longer, as not many upgrade like they used to back in the day. And the reason for this being, that the pace of innovation has slowed down in comparison to the past. I mean there's only so much you can innovate year on year. So at this rate, companies have realised that since the hardware is potent, the longer software support for a particular gadget shouldn't be ab issue. Apple realised this way earlier and Samsung has followed, which is a good thing. And this brings me to your question whether the S8 Plus will be able to hold its own after 5 years? I think so yes. I mean if we were talking about Samsung's software from 5 years ago, I wouldn't have been very confident. But seeing OneUI and how it's ever evolving, I don't think so it's going to go sluggish. The S8 Plus should work just fine and pretty much in line with the M1 iPads down the road. That's what I think. Cheers! :)

Sir can u please do a giveaway of this tab because I needed it for my online lecture and I can't even buy it because it is very expensive for me

[@jvidia]

Hello! Can you please test if, in landscape, you notice any horizontal effects in the image quality when you tilt the tablet back and forward? On my S8+ I notice a screen "wave" effect. Is this common in AMOLED displays? Can it be a defect in the glass of my screen? I notice it more in still image situations like in Chrome and on the "desktop" page of the table. Thanks.

[@themrphone]

Hey buddy! So I just checked on my particular unit. Nothing of the sorts that you've mentioned. All good on my tablet. If the problem persists at your end, it's better you get it to the service centre.

[@bijitsahu7269]

very nice review mr. phone.. i have also ordered the same model.. very excited to get my hands on this device

[@themrphone]

You'll love it. And thank you for watching! :)

[@PHILOSOPHY260]

Firstly it's not a iPad pro killer . Secondly it's price is more than ipad and it's have been delisted from benchmark fraud.

[@themrphone]

Hey Manish, so thanks for writing in. Now let me explain a few things... So, of course, for me, the Galaxy Tab S8+ is the iPad Pro killer. I mean, trust me, I'm into the Apple ecosystem, and for me, I still haven't been able to live with the limitations that the iPad brings. OS limitations, no proper file management, no storage expansion, many file formats that I use aren't supported and the list goes on. And Android while not being perfect, has been an eye-opener for me. I mean I don't know about you, but for me, the Galaxy Tab S8+ has been able to replace my MacBook Air for all the stuff that I do, and I can't say the same about the iPad Pro, so there's one. Second, the price. So, I don't know how you see this as expensive from the iPad Pro, but the 11" iPad which is not even its competitor, that one is only about Rs. 3,000 cheaper than the Tab S8+, and doesn't even bring as much value for the money as the Tab S8+ does. As for the 12.9" iPad Pro which is the true competitor to the Tab S8+, well, let's not talk about that one's price, it's absurdly pricey. Plus, go for a higher storage variant, and both the iPad 11 and 12.9-inch models go crazy on the pockets. The Tab S8+ on the other hand has expandable storage, people power! Finally, the Geekbench controversy. Now, this is wrong what Samsung did here and I also admit that in benchmarks as well as in raw power, the A15 chips are superior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but do those numbers affect day to day usage? Because as far as I know, both the iPad and Galaxy Tab S8 run BGMI like butter, and in my usage, there's not a heavier app than BGMI that I utilise. Plus day to day tasks again is handled well by both, so I don't understand why do people care so much about the numbers. So it's okay if you have an opinion and the iPad might be the best device for you, but for my work and play demands, and I am sure there are many like me, the Galaxy Tab S8+ is simply the iPad Pro killer we were looking for. Cheers!

@@themrphone S pen comes free too, and true, benchmark points mean nothing, many reviewers even prefer the tab over the ipad, it can easily run heavy games smoothly, no jittering whatsoever but the only advantage of the ipad is that it has 120 fps, otherwise if used at the same level by which I mean if they are used on the same settings, tab beats the ipad in gaming experience

[@52incredible]

@@themrphone 100% agreed. Also, actually the geekbench thing. It is just a battery optimisation. its stupidity to keep the cpu clock running high unnecessarily. In Apples case , you cant even get to know if apple is also doing something similar because of its closed nature.

the only thing i dont like was the ratio i prefer 4:3. cause 16:10 is too narrow

[@themrphone]

In fact, a lot of people prefer 4:3, hence the iPad Pros and the Surface laptops of the world sell so well. But I don't know, after having used the iPad for ages, and now using the Tab S8+, everything felt fresh and natural. Especially when you also take the front camera placement into consideration. And then one by one everything kept falling in place and after a couple days it was no looking back. I have started enjoying the 16:10 aspect ratio and it has been fine for me ever since. But I get where you coming from. Cheers! :)

One word conclusion..... Android is nothing in comparison to iPad os!

[@52incredible]

I have already pre ordered this device , the delivery date has already passed. what to do.

[@themrphone]

Hey Shashwat, first up, yes the device is pretty good, have been using it and having a wonderful experience. That said, suppy issues has definitely plagued the latest Galaxy tabs. The thing is Samsung themselves didn't anticipate the demand for this product, and so now that so many people have ordered one, the s8, the plus or the ultra, Samsung is having a hard time fulfilling those orders. I guess, this is what I believe the case is. I mean they totally didn't guess it'd become so popular that so many people might end up ordering. So at this point, a lot of folks who have pre-ordered haven't received their tabs yet, and so, all that can be done right now is wait and hope Samsung fulfills the high demand. Keep following up with Samsung buddy, and don't worry you'll get your tablet. I remember, back in the day the Galaxy S6 Edge+ was selling hot, and I pre-ordered it. I remember getting it like about 2 months after the promised date. So yeah I know it was annoying but the wait was well worth it! I wish you get your order delivered soon. Cheers! :)

[@52incredible]

@@themrphone thanks for the response. I just talked to customer support and he escalated my issue and said that they will give me a new delivery date within 48hrs.

Now as a reviewer, I saw a couple of things that I feel could've been better, I don't understand why are you so salty about it. And I guess you didn't see the part where I straight out suggested the Tab S8+ over the iPad Pro. Also, here in India at least, the keyboard with trackpad isn't available for the Tab S8+ but anyway, never mind.
