I hope this comparison of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 and the Google Pixel Tablet was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

[@joeldeakin2003]

I'm hoping Google refreshes this tablet this year and actually works hard on adding features that absolutely should've been in the first model.

[@CF542]

The advantages of SD card support cannot be understated.

[@TechGearTalk]

I agree. Thank you for being part of the channel!

[@AssassinsFear]

Except when most major games and apps can't be installed on the slowed SD card

[@mnrt27]

The Galaxy Tab S8 also has the feature as the Pixel Tablet with erasing things out of pictures.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks

[@Mo-rx4bh]

Hey there, really like your videos! Could you share those fancy wallpapers you use with us? Would be very nice!

[@robodd4694]

That Lenova looks amazing and I love the idea. Have a book on one screen and notes on another! Sure you can do that with split screen but having both apps full display is so nice.

[@TechGearTalk]

I completely agree.

[@Sarahlee52106]

Wow you have a Best Buy sponsor! Nice! Congrats on the great channel growth!

[@relaxbaby4331]

Hello bro, I have a question. I have iPad mini 6 and I want to upgrade because of the screen size. Do you recommend an iPad pro 11 m1 or a OnePlus pad, knowing that I love the Android system and hate iOS and my use of the iPad is only for PUBG, KZbin and watching movies. nothing else

[@8flash100]

bro i use a i pad pro 11 m2 for pubg and some student stuff but its extremly good in pro motion buy it

[@iAmMrExcited]

Thanks for the comparison! I have the S8 :) What was that racing game please?

[@alvinjackson532]

Is the S8 still worth it since the S9 has been launched?

[@vesuvius03]

Absolutely

[@dylantaylor490]

Honestly, I went with the pixel tablet because of their software experience and ecosystem. Doesn't hurt that I got 40% off.

[@TechGearTalk]

Wow - great deal!!! The software experience is important.

[@eile4219]

yeah, i also got the 40% deal as well. can't beat $300

[@ForsakenWolf]

Same! Got the 40% off plus credit I had from my pixel 8 phone. Upgraded to the 256 GB pixel tablet pretty much. Got 45% off total with tax.

[@raitute4084]

Pixel tab looks like pixel phone 1-5 gen. They have Very similar philosophy

[@avnertouitou3778]

Could you please make a battery drain test for the tab s9 lineup 🙏 i really want to buy one

[@TechGearTalk]

Will do when I get it

[@amberm4884]

Is the Galaxy Tab S7+ stil in the running against the Google Pixel? I cant afford an S8, potentially not even a Pixel 🤦🏼‍♀️, so was wondering if any1 would stil recommend the S7? Thanks in advance! 😊

[@k1x924]

Still no Wallpaper Package?

[@seanriley6911]

Great review, love my S8 Ultra though and probably won't change it for a while until certain I want to but thanks anyway.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks! The S8 Ultra is amazing!!!

[@yuvans2267]

I have a dilemma here whether to buy Samsung galaxy tab S8 or S7FE CAN You quickly suggest me

[@Aaron-hg8jo]

This video was awesome and super helpful. That buy it nice or buy it twice thing applies to watching reviews, too. I've wasted so much time in the past with unhelpful review videos. This one was everything I needed to know the first time.

[@TechGearTalk]

Oh wow - thank you so much for the kind words. I’m truly grateful. Super glad the video was helpful. (Just realized that rhymed 🤣😂).

[@majestikmoose9]

I chose the Pixel Tablet simply because I vastly prefer Google's version of Android. Personal preference, but I really just don't like OneUI. I know it's loaded with features, but I still feel like it gets in its own way sometimes. Dex is really cool though!

[@anthonywilliams9415]

📠

[@TamerZiady]

Love the review thank you for it. Shows that you are a long time Samsung User. I jumped chip (pun intended) w/ the exploding Note 7. Not hate - love and continue to love many things Samsung. But phones and Chromebook and soon tablet (wish they have a 16g one) all google. The biggest thing about Google UI is how clean it is and doesn't have the gluggy bloatware that is Samsung's UI. But for some, I am sure they love the Samsung UI more. Again, thanks for the review. Good stuff.

[@victorsarkar4592]

Heyy can you do a review of pad 6 ?!

[@TechGearTalk]

Yes!

[@edwardryser6949]

If all I do is watch streaming services, will the pixel tablet be good enough?

[@nikhil9886]

I have been commenting for a long time for those wallpapers

[@MichaelPatrickCrowley]

I'd like to have those wallpapers too 😮

[@jkasta3547]

I'm thinking of buying one now, but the tab s9 will probably launch within two weeks. Should I wait, or get it now. I'm not planning on getting the s9 btw.

[@RoronoaZoro.9280]

What I heard from rumours and leaks are that S9 will have high features but may cost a lot. It depends on ur budget which u gonna buy else if it ain’t urgent u can wait until it releases

[@jkasta3547]

@@RoronoaZoro.9280 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I don't need the latest features, just need a tab with all round features and S8 fits in perfectly

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Can anyone help me with this ? I am facing issue with UNIVERSAL CONTROLLER while using with Safari browser in macbook . The issue is - When i move my mouse cursor to left of the screen the safari "SIDEBAR" keeps popping up . Is there any way to permanently disable this safari "SIDEBAR" , its very annoying when we work using UNIVERSAL CONTROLLER and safari SIDEBAR always keeps popping up whenever cursor moved to the left of the screen.

[@melissa.deklerk]

The pixel tablet in Germany is 679€. Not sure what rhe s8 goes for, but I looked it up a few weeks ago and remembered thinking "nope, too expensive". Pixel tablet is also too expensive in Germany.

[@TheAaronJP]

I live between the UK and Germany and I have noticed that we don't seem to get the same pricing for tech. Another example is the pricing of ipads. Maybe there is some kind of European tax on products?

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you for the info!

[@melissa.deklerk]

@@TheAaronJP oh yeah, iPad pricing is a similar story. My guess is that it's a combination of shipping costs and taxes.

[@johnrodes4859]

S7 plus for 570 usd or S8 plus for 735 usd? The only thing i am considered with is that there is just 1 more year of security updates left. i dont know how that will affect my usage? would love some tips and a recommendation?

[@saurabhpawar1281]

Did you buy s7 plus???... I was planning on buying the same... Is it still worth it??..

[@johnrodes4859]

@@saurabhpawar1281I havent bought yet, but i have decided to go for a s8 plus, due to the extra software and security updates. currently considering a few used and new options... they are both essentially the same thing, just no updates for the s7 plus from next year, so if that doesnt matter to you, go for it.

[@saurabhpawar1281]

@@johnrodes4859 yes... I bought it few days back... It's great... Just one problem it heats near keyboard pins...Otherwise it's great device...S8 plus is great choice 👍

[@CMG02]

​@@johnrodes4859I might go for the 8 just due to the upgraded processor.

[@user-jgn1944]

I'm in England. Don't know all prices yet. Still looking at Amazon

Didn't expect the Samsung would pull this off, but an google wiith a necessarily docking is the same price...I will go for Samsung this time

@TechGearTalk Hahahaha, amazing!!! I'm glad you've taken that well. 😅

[@lkizan]

Here in Brazil Google doesn't sell anything but the nest audio devices. But we can find the Pixel Tablet in some places, unofficially, for R$5.500,00 (US$ 1.145,00). And the Tab S8 can be found from R$ 4.000,00 to R$ 7.000,00 (US$ 833,00 to US$ 1.458,00).

[@anthonywilliams9415]

😮

[@terryhughes7196]

You can magic erase on the Galaxy tablet as well I can do it on my S7 they just don't use it as a highlight feature in their advertising

[@thebigint-hw1on]

*Samsung seems warmer and more true to life

[@jaedo71]

Google needs a top notch stylus with pressure sensitivity and a premium line of tablets

[@scottlathrop66]

Can you do a video of the dog?

[@TechGearTalk]

I really should

[@d1238abc]

€719 in Ireland for the Pixel. Way past my tablet budget.

[@bryans8656]

I'm happy with my iPad Mini but if I was in the market for a tablet I would go for the Tab S8. I like the Pixel dock but that would be the only advantage. I think Samsung builds a higher quality product.

[@TechGearTalk]

Appreciate the perspective 🙏🏻

[@rolins3279]

Tab S8 for the win 🥇

[@ldmun]

Just dex alone is major plus

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks for voting

[@rushmore3927]

No microsd slot and weaker chipset. Sammy wins.

[@noahreadsreddit]

Very helpful comparison, just wanted to point out that you spelt Tensor wrong when comparing benchmarks

[@MichaelStanton]

I’d rather take the Pixel assuming updates are still better on Google. If updates aren’t a thing then I don’t care either one is fine.

[@Brrushediz]

Best dad award goes to you 🎉

[@moritzkindgen6587]

I'm fromm Germany, the Pixel Tablet costs 679€ and the Galaxy Tab S8 659€. I'm looking for a tablet and the two are on the short list

[@jaydawg3031]

Everything is literally better on the Tab S8. You should only buy the pixel because of the price and dock station.

[@CodeMasterAbhinandan]

[@ForsakenWolf]

One thing that most people don't ever talk about is the pixel experience. I am not a fan of Samsung's UI or the Samsung experience so I prefer the pixel. I love that it just works experience with pixel UI, regardless phones or the tablets.

[@TechGearTalk]

I appreciate you contributing with your opinion 🙏🏻

[@sc3740]

Get a pixel tablet, Samsung tablet after 2 years of usage will get bootloop issues, strike me 3 times on 2 tab 6 lite and a tab 4S.. Speechless on this ,

[@cherkas009]

actually I can't think of anything the pixel would be better at than the S8

[@richardhall-trafford8653]

Love the stylus keep it up Google and Samsung.

[@themapletraveller]

Thats not an entry level samsung tablet...A7 or A8 would be entry level. Thats a mid tier.

[@TechGearTalk]

That’s fair. I meant entry level flagship. Thank you for the perspective

[@catseyereflex6774]

Tab s8 for sure

[@hiddenmonkeyofdoom]

Pixel tablet is the only option, cause GrapheneOS only works on pixel tablet

[@blueciffer1653]

But for 99% of users who aren't going to do that, the Galaxy tab is the better choice.

[@saulgoodman2018]

The Pixel Tablet would be good, if it was not for that useless speaker. It should have at least been Bluetooth. And sell the tablet alone. I would still choose Samsung. Google have a habit of abandoning their hardware. Like the Nexus tablet. Chromebook pixel. Stadia. Google Home Max.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you for the input

[@drobostoko5714]

In Australia S8 = $1000 aud and pixel tab $900 aud

[@eile4219]

Pixel Tab $300 USD. I don't know why everything is so expensive in Australia. Same with Playstation, Xbox, Iphone and others as well.
