I bought the Tab S8 back in February for the university and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, this has been a massive game changer for me, I used to carry between 3 or 4 notebooks almost every day in my backpack for my classes but now with this tablet I only carry one notebook and my tablet, I even had to buy a smaller backpack because it has saved me a lot of weight and space. I also use the Micro SD card slot to have all my files from previous semesters and with all the functions this device has I barely use my laptop these days, it's been my best purchase ever

[@kuroyurimusashi3843]

With technology from Wacom, Samsung's S Pen is definitely the best digital writing device currently. Tried it once on my friends' tablet, and that feels so comfortable and really made me want to replace my iPad 😂 (However I am bound to iOS by some APPs that only available on it, what a pity)

[@prithwirajbhardwaj9295]

I'm worried just about one thing, Lenovo and other brands gives OLED display but Samsung tab s8 has LCD display right??? Lcd is boring 😢

[@NashDourado]

Would buying the S8+ for the bigger, more A4 sized screen, be better? Atleast in terms of University

[@antonioecoboost]

@@kuroyurimusashi3843 Well, I've been using Samsung One UI since 2018 so I'm very used to the software and their apps, I've never used Apple because iOS is a little bit confusing for me and yes the elastomer tip in the S Pen is amazing, I love writing notes in Microsoft One Note when I'm taking my classes

[@antonioecoboost]

@@NashDourado I think that's very subjective mate, if you pretend to do a lot of multitasking with the tablet, the 12.4'' size of the S8+ would be better for you, in my case I don't usually use more than two apps in my classes so the 11'' in the S8 is enough for me

[@alex-chicago-80]

I have the S8+ and it's what I use when on the run and when I don't feel like carrying around a laptop. It makes editing photos pretty quick and simple.

[@gabegalleries]

The move to "Armoured Aluminium" is a reall good move from Samsung. I've been using the Tab S7, the older model for a bit over 2 years now, and the number of scuff marks and nicks it's picked up on the sides (that aren't protected by the Keyboard Case) really makes it look a lot worse. I might be getting the Tab S9 or even the Tab S10, and it's really nice having a peace of mind that your device isn't going to break anytime soon.

[@MrLanternland]

The glass backed tablets and phones r some of the stupidest things ever, except for the manufacturers who want them to break so you'll buy another one or pay them a few hundred to fix it.

[@mr.j5112]

And don't forget about Samsung's Sound Assistant app where it can let you play media simultaneously. It also lets you adjust the app's individual volume, so you can play youtube and also browse social media and play videos without the other one stopping. It can also let you play sound in one app through your earphones and the other ones through the tab's speaker.

[@ovrxpsd]

i love this feature on my s23. i love teasing my gf when her iPhone interrupts the music on the car when she's browsing social media and watches a video with sound haha

[@TheKylaas]

I bought an extremely discounted S7+ last year from Best Buy and it's changed how I do basically everything. I have a work laptop but I've ditched my Chromebook (which was an admittedly nice one) for this GORGEOUS screen and better speakers. It's my main consumption device and I took basically everything distracting from my phone and put it onto that. I'm more focused throughout the day AND I've got a device that is a purposeful distraction. Battery life lasted all the way through a 11 hour flight to Europe and I honestly couldn't think of a better product for me and my needs.

I have been trying to figure out the best set up to reduce my “technology footprint.“ I’ve tried using my 5th gen iPad Air with stage manager for word documents, etc. but for me it is too cumbersome and inefficient. After watching this, I think the Samsung galaxy tab 8 or 8+ with Dex might just be exactly what I’ve been looking for! This video came at just the right time. Thank you!

[@HiiipowerdanniRuns]

I really like the new set up of you recording in a new space. I am happy that you are reviewing other brands besides Apple. Nothing wrong with Apple, but there are SO many tech brands that make quality products. I loved this video.

[@MartaZiomek]

Watching this on my 1-year-old, still great S8... And I agree with every single point you make. 😃 I had been using my good old iPad Mini before that one, and even though I prefer its smaller size, Apple products got soooo expensive in Poland where I live, that I finally chose S8 - and never looked back. 6 months ago my work computer started having issues with video calls, but I switched to my tablet, and the front facing camera is where it's at - I never even wanted to fix the camera on my work computer after that 😅 AND I love watching YT, Netflix, and read comics on it, the screen is great, even if it's not an OLED. After this year - I also higly recommend it. 😁

[@MrLuffy9131]

I realized ipad has a 4:3 ratio so mostly any movies will have black bars even the large 12.9 one and even the ultra in the US was actually cheaper than their base ipad with a trade in

[@morrigansraven61]

I have used IPads since the first edition came out 13 years ago, and waited 12 years for them to develop a Dex like function to eliminate the need for caring a laptop and a IPad. Well they failed to build that functionality into their Tablets. I have always used Android phones, Garmin Watches and windows laptops so the Apple ecosystem wasn't a huge issue. I got a good deal on a S8+ and have set my IPad aside. I like how it pairs so well with my S21Ultra and finally get the appeal of a functional ecosystem, I still struggle with some of the apps not having the same experience as on IOS but I only use the IPad for the books and music I got through Apple. Great video and a nice break from the Apple polishing

[@juliaG753]

I'm using it now also for a year and I recommend it always when people ask me. I use it for school, video conferences, and of course, samsung dex. Since I have it I rarely use my laptop. I love watching yt, Netflix and what I also love is cloud gaming. If you have the xbox game pass you can take your games with you. Only thing you need is a stable internet connection. I use it for art too, there are apps for drawing. I am not a professional artist but if you're new to digital art and don't want to spend a lot of money, the s8 is in my experience the best option.

[@damonaniton]

Been running the S8+ 5G with keyboard since launch. By far my most useful and versatile piece of tech I own. Truely limits my need to use my laptop, especially on the go. Though as you touched on I may seriously go with the smaller size when the new 1 drops just because it carries easier.

Great video, as always, and I completely agree. I use my Tab S8 daily. During my work day, it's sitting next to my work laptop, in Dex mode, with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse attached for all my personal needs. Example: I may want to look up something on Amazon or watch a KZbin video during the work day, but I don't want to do that on my work laptop because it's monitored.

I actually wanted to buy a tablet for media consumption, reading news articles and online books, emails, quick work access and easy to carry around. Also would love that additional external sd card and additional s pen that is included on purchase. I've always had that dilemma of whether to buy a S8, S8+ or previous model S7+. The larger 12.4 inch screen would be a plus point. 11inch sounds ok for my small asian size. But then again there is the S7 FE that also sounds tempting since it ticks most of the boxes i need for a really lower price. So really this is the biggest dilemma I have.

[@praveenkumarb5555]

I am in the same exact dilemma now. What did you end up doing anyway?

[@vimalkumarvelupillay9512]

@@praveenkumarb5555 i went for the S8+ model. There we some discounts going on online that buying it makes worth. If you plan on getting a tablet, wait until the S9 series releases most likely next month. Then buy the S8+ which will be alot cheaper but you still get some good benefits and deals out of it.

[@rudybacani480]

I actually got the s8 ultra. I usually use paper notebooks when taking notes now I switch to the s8 ultra coz I want a larger display. I work from home so I don’t have to worry about carrying a larger display plus things look better on a larger display😊

[@M0M0M0M0M]

i recently got this for 600, it is fantastic first tablet ive actually bought due to thinking the redundancy was not worth it, but im now using it more than my gaming laptop and s21 ultra the quad speakers sound good, the price-performance is great, the processor drives the 120Hz screen great, the nonamoled panel still looks fantastic, the multitasking is fluid because the specs are very close to the Ultra, runs games really well (better than my S21 Ultra) possibly the best computer price-performance ive ever had

[@LutherBuilds]

I got the Tab S8 on launch and couldn't imagine not having it. It helps me to be able watch content and edit photos and videos without the eye strain that comes from looking at a phone. I have also used it in the past for mobile gaming and it doesn't disappoint with the performance.

[@Flix-f6q]

I have both, a Samsung S6 lite and an ipad 9. gen. And depending what you want to do, Apple has some niche software that Android is lacking. IOS has the Affinity Desktop publishing suite, Apple has better apps for music making. But aside from that, I love Samsung Dex and better speakers. On the other hand, the ipad screen has brighter display and better color range, but lightning and limited disk space stinks. I bought the ipad as a Synthesizer and for GarageBand, my daily Driver is still my Samsung, but the iOS files App does a nice job in scanning documents and handling .pdf files. Some Apple Apps feel really polished, Android is lacking there. I prefer the file management in Android OS, although some of my folders are really messy. Filewise, I feel restricted in iOS. All in all, you get stuff done with Samsung, you have to pay Premium for the same usability from Apple.

The only problem I have is the Spen's tip seems to not be durable enough while reading reviews. Samsung for some reason doesn't sell extra tips for the Spen even though the Spen pro comes with backup tips. It seems like it's a bit of a cheap way to force people to spend more on yet another pen. I've seen someone on a forum say that one of the similar tip replacements for other devices worked but it had a few issues compared to the original tip. As a student using it for note taking that would be a massive con.

[@SushibarFan]

yeah but not the domestic version which gives half the performances at double the price of exporting ones. the companies there are basically price-dumping in US, the same thing applies to automobiles

Can I use Microsoft Edge with this tablet?

[@brunocalcagno1256]

I’ve had both the Tab S8 and the iPad Pro. I loved the S8 because of its amazing battery, display pen and webcam. However, I had to switch to the iPad because of the default desktop web browsing experience in Safari, which the S8 doesn’t have. So, using the Google suite webapps for instance was a pain, and the same with most things I use the web browser for.

I am thinking about buying a tablet. S8 (with 5G) is almost 700€ (none 5G is 600€), and the S6 is about 315€. I basically just need a tablet to watch movies and youtube on. I have a 10th gen laptop I barelly use, do you think I should get the S6 or go for S8. I think S8 will stay updated much longer than the S6. Also would you get a 5G model or the wifi version, i am debating if the 100€ difference is worth it (might be as I can just get another sim card and not bother with using hotspot). Edit: I can get a S7 for around 500€ (new), so now I am even more confused.
