Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Real-World Test

I take the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra out for a day in Brooklyn to see if it's worth the ultra name. We talk about the S-Pen, screen, battery, DeX, and, of course, the price. Come watch!

Great video but something reviewers forget about the S Pen is that you don't need to put it on the back to actually use it, it's only for bluetooth gestures if you just want to use it for writing and drawing it doesn't need to be charge.

[@Seroxm13]

Yeah and it does stick to the side with magnets, like the Apple pencil with iPads.

[@sloppynyuszi]

Yeah, lot’s of these reviewers still don’t know how to use a tablet and just look at it how can it replace their laptops, and that’s why they don’t know how to review the stylus or tablets in general. Usually artists, like Brad Colbow, Teoh on Tech and Lisa from mymobiletech are my go to reviewers for tablets because they give out all the info I need on the stylus. My next tablet does good reviews for non artist use cases for tablets.

Most people with visual impairements like myself use the rear camera(s) of our tablets all the time. The bigger display helps immensely with seeing what's in frame, or seeing what's in front of us because the 'decent' camera can see far better than us. I really don't get why most people bash on tablet camera users. It's an accessibility aspect that all designers take into consideration.

[@thekingoflordagames3517]

He didn't really bash tablet camera users, he just said that it isn't important for most people. And let's be honest it really isn't important for like 99,9% of users.

I love my ultra! I don't notice the notch and it's not an issue. It is huge but I got used to the size after a few days of use. I preordered mine with a trade in. I also got the keyboard as part of my deal. So I paid $653 for the entire deal. I am very pleased with my purchase.

[@mikefloris779]

Brydge needs to stop playing and make a keyboard for the S8 Ultra already...

[@Chemy.]

I was just wondering why i enjoy that much this kind of videos and I think are several reasons, first it's s great introduction to the experience with the device you are showing obviously, but also the way of tiny talk about the surroundings, the human experience of the video and the bloopers and of course, because you are a very nice person sir, that KS for sharing. Liked as always

[@jamescassar5348]

I got the book cover( 50 euros) and a wireless keyboard from Samsung ( 40 euros). The s-pen silo has an opening for easy take out and I'm honestly impressed with how well built the case is. Tablet is gorgeous, fluid, and Dex on it feels like a proper PC when the keyboard is attached. I'd recommend for those that want a huge display.

[@namnguyenhoai2010]

Why did't you buy a laptop ?

[@jamescassar5348]

@@namnguyenhoai2010 I like how integrated with a sim card( 4g), with my tv via dex/ Samsung software, with my smart watch and phone everything is. The s pen support is unmatched, the touch display, and Android really. I don't need high graphics for work and I make do gaming on it. For me it's exactly what I needed

Big Thanks for the "Bonus Footage" at the end David - always good to finish with a smile (I did!) Think there was a tablet in there too, but You and the Venues have become the stars of your vids 😉

[@TheUnlockr]

Thanks so much!

[@AswinTDK]

I love this format!! Makes me watch it even if I'm not interested in the products (not always) !!

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

Whatever you do, PLEASE KEEP your outtakes in every video you do! I’m sure they’re annoying at the moment, but your remarks make them surprisingly hilarious! ☺️

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

I'd say waiting is best method or going with the base S8 instead. The LCD panel on their tablets are perfectly fine and looks great. My S7 at launch was under $600 with taxes included, and that was the 256 GB model.

[@kgvertu]

The video was great as always. Tablet is insane, size wise! Outtakes were hilarious, your face said it all.

[@SshanIcsS]

As a German i love this typ of Videos. I see new tech an if i ever go to New York i know where are the coolest places. As allways thanks for the Video.

[@deanthompson4381]

Thank you, David, for another excellent real-world test. Hope you are feeling better. I have looked at the Tab S8 Ultra, at Best Buy. As many of the commenters below have written, there is a market for this device. The food and coffee looked great, as always. If you know, what did happen to that car, as you were leaving the studio? Shout out to Michael, Jaime. Love your neighborhood. The noise issue, you may need a new location to shoot vids. Take Care.

[@TheUnlockr]

Thanks so much for watching as always!

Great review / vlog! But that philly cheese steak though 🔥🔥🔥! i am fasting now but am craving it. i ll probably eat one first time the sun goes down. Keep up the good work my man been a fan since forever and I watch every single video of yours. Love ya!!

[@orcungokcek1724]

Hello, sorry for my english, i want to ask you about samsung tablets apps... i have question about some apps for samsung. I really like tab s9 ultra but im amateur photographer and normally im using photoshop and lightroom. But i think i cant download adobe photoshop in this tablet :( no any apps for samsung same like photoshop or i didnt find it... Im not talking about photoshop express its not the same like computer or ipad version. Do you have any idea for me which program is the best for samsung, same like tools with full photoshop like ipad or computer version... thank you very much and also what about lightroom is it same like ipad version... thank you.

[@SilentRunnerSpeaks]

Great content as always!

[@geraldpolymath]

I pre ordered and got the keyboard free. As an iPad user this tablet kicks you know what. Best tablet I have ever owned.

[@cuz129]

This has just about replaced my Dell XPS 15. Only booted that pc lately to scan some documents and print some envelopes on my HP all in one color laser printer. The Ultra HP printer driver prints fine on normal paper but it doesn't do envelopes or anything but the main paper tray. And it doesn't control the scanner. But otherwise the Ultra is great. Long battery life and lightweight. Detach keyboard and its the best lap streaming device in the world. I had an iPad Pro 12.9 inch but that's too small for multitasking and has a mindbending file system. Plus it did not play nice with Windows or my Note 20 Ultra phone. For a Windows/Galaxy person this can be a real laptop replacement. It's not for most I agree, way too expensive and limited apps. But perfect for some of us. Great review.

[@kung-fuhustle5755]

1:55, the S Pen DOES connect to the sides of the tablet. Magnets built on the long sides the device.

[@michaeljoshuafalcotelonova3607]

Aside from the back, you can also put the S Pen at the top side of the tablet. You can magnetically attached it on the side just like the Apple pencil but it's not as strong as the magnet in the back and it does not charge. If practicality is your problem, you have that option. Lmao.

Hi. I like the purchase I made. And it really meets all the specifications, the only problem. It is that the price is high, and it does not bring the cable, it does not bring the charger. For me the battery only lasts eight hours. They should at least give away the screen saver. I had the opportunity to save money for a year to buy it. That's awesome your video and Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Massachusetts.😍💓

[@tomswan3401]

0:33 no idea if you want to give more details but I would want to understand more about how the sharing of the filming studio works between you, Michael Fisher, Jaime Rrrrivera. Like do you really have sinergies by sharing equipment, how you don't get in each others way, what the advantages of sharing are. Maybe how your production workflow is etc.^^ Seems you don't use complex camera shots where you need a robot camera arm, so you don't need to share such equipment. So each could have a MacBook pro for video editing, camera, some lights and basically that's the entire equipment (so no case for sharing really expensive equipment). I used in the past often Samsung tablets. In the mean time I tend to use surface pros instead of ipads/android tablets, surface is a good enough tablet and good laptop, so good for my use case.

[@TheUnlockr]

We don’t share anything and just share rent for a place for us all to work in lol
