WHY PAY MORE?!?! Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 VS Tab S7

Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 or the Tab S8? And if you already have a Tab S7, should you upgrade to the Tab S8. When Samsung released the Galaxy Tab S8, I was super excited but also a little confused. You see, the Tab S7 is one of my favorite tablets, so when I got the newer version, I could see that it’s better - Samsung did make updates to it - but I was wondering - did they do enough? And, there’s actually one important area where they took a step back.
Let’s take a look at the size of the two tablets, the design and the options as far as biometric authentication. Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE display hold up to the iPad Air 4? How do the camera and speakers stack up? What about the keyboard and stylus options?
And finally, when looking at the Tab S7 FE and the Air 4 battery life, multitasking and gaming performance - which one comes out on top?

I have the tab s7 and it works for me and gets my daily use out of it rather it's school or work related. I thought about upgrading to the tab s8 but realized I would of be buying the same tablet in a way. If this was my first tablet I would of went with the s8 but I'm satisfied.

[@stricken1666]

I mean to be fair, the iPad air 4 to the air 5 just swapped out the chip and called it a day. At least these guys changed the back of the tablet, improved the cameras, and upgraded the android software. I just switched from the s6 lite to the s8+ and I love it

[@dkursada]

1:05 very minor point, but still, the only reason of fingerprint scanners being different on regular and plus models is not only caused by Samsung's decision to just creating a differentiator. Tab S7 and Tab S8 both lack AMOLED panels, which can turn off their pixels completely to accommodate an under-screen scanner. LCDs and TFTs on the other hand, aren't transparent enough to let the scanner do its thing. So, the main reason of these fingerprint scanners' position is Samsung opting for non-OLED screens on smaller models.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks so much for contributing 🙏🏻

[@Kr3mloc]

I love my tab s7 I don't care about cameras on a phone or a tablet. The cpu/gpu in the s7 still can handle anything I throw at it with. With the update we get ram plus to convert storage space to virtual ram which is better multitasking. I also use the battery protection which only charges up to 85 percent so my battery is essentially running like new. I'm not upgrading anytime soon

The reason you didn't find any differences in latency because Samsung updated the Samsung Notes app for low latency on tab S7 Series too ! The advertised low latency only of s8 series works on the samsung note taking app and is same on other apps like the s7 . After the update i can feel the low latency on my s7plus too!

[@anascolina]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Tab S7 and its bookcover keyboard. The stand is sturdy, the s-pen cover is secure, and it is separable. I have Tab S7 and its bookcover keyboard since end of 2020 (1.5 years now) and it still lasts around 14 hours without charging, and if I dont use it to draw, it will last even more. I usually only need to charge this device once in a day, and it takes only an hour to fully charged. Tab S7 also doesnt have heating issue. My only concern is that I find it quite heavy with the cover on, and that the ports and that sides (where the ports are) are not well protected by the cover.

[@jcgharib118]

Wow, I didn't know the S7 and S8 were so similar in most cases. I'd have gone for the S7 if I hadn't found that amazing black friday deal. Only like 500$

[@subversiveasset]

for anyone debating between the slim keyboard and the keyboard w/ touchpad, don't get the keyboard with touchpad. It is trash for a few reasons: 1. the keyboard with touchpad is not sturdy. The connector to the tablet is not stiff, so if youre typing on your lap, everything will wobble. (The slim keyboard doesn't have that.) 2. The touchpad itself is *abysmal*. It has weird issues where it doesn't start scrolling until several miliseconds in, and this is both frustrating and causes a lot of issues surprisingly. There also doesn't seem to be a middle click. Not sure if that's an Android limitation, a Dex limitation, or a keyboard touchpad limitation, but it's very annoying. Switching back from touchpad to just swiping on screen and using the slim keyboard was NIGHT AND DAY in terms of ease of use and latency.

I have 8GBs and 256GB model of 8+, and 6GBs 128GBs on S7. The only difference I notice is I don't have to transfer my work to my microsd card as often. Actually not at all. From my 3GB external Toshiba hard drive, both transfer files lightening fast. I use both daily. Like the size difference and OS difference, both perform great.

[@paddy232323]

3GB only?

[@crypticquintessence4814]

I believe the reasoning behind not having the 512gb model is because its far cheaper and convenient to just have your data on sd cards or flash drives which can be connected to the device to transfer your data. When you get up into the terabyte range its much better to just have a cheap tower computer with hard drives or an external hard drive. That way you can transfer your data from your PC to your sdcard/flashdrive/external harddrive, and then to the tablet. If you had an apple or ios device, that simple process is an extreme hassle. Another thing you take for granted is that this tablet runs android and has that kind of flexibility. compaired to your ios counterpart

[@crypticquintessence4814]

also the fact that the minimum has been raised from 64 gb of internal storage is a plus as 64 gb really isnt enough to contain all your apps photos and videos depending on how much you use it. Itll go by much faster also considering the entire operating system is also taking up some of that space

[@crypticquintessence4814]

conclusion, 128gb is plenty for any tablet.. if you need more space just buy an sdcard or flash drive and adapter. The fact you are upset they dont have the higher storage compacities shows that you dont regularly use external storage devices.

[@petrostz.5022]

I tell people to get a used s7+ over paying for the s8 because of the value. There is no way the 8 imporved enough to justify the price difference.

They did the same thing with the s10+ where the 1TB was the max option then with s20 ultra they removed the 1TB storage.

I'm gonna be rocking my Tab S7 (love my Tab S7🥰) & LG V60 Thin Q ( paid for) for a few more years! Heck I'm still paying for the S7💰😳. I pay my S7 off & my bill go's down & me likes👍🏿😁. Update, tablet paid off last summer & still my favorite electric device 🥰. LG V60 is still operating as smooth as butter also👍🏿

Emi culture both a boon and bane Joining the bandwagon with s8 purchase

[@shyamvijaya1845]

I am hanging between s7plus and s8 wifi models. I like bigger display but as all are saying S7 plus will stop getting software Updates in a year or so. Will that be a problem for me in future if I go with s7 plus now. Or should I switch to s8 ? But s7 plus is at my price point now.

[@theicekingkobe]

does the s pen of the 8 work on the 7?with all it’s functionality? I ask because I am looking to buy an original s pen for the s7 fe but for the life of me I can’t find an genuine new pen.

[@aldousquerubin7974]

Can you do comparison video between s7 plus and s8? Since they have almost the same price. Can't decide what to get between the two. Thank you

[@BalkanBiker]

Not really that much to compare. It's up to what you want. Oled, larger screen on S7+ and smaller screen, lcd, better performance and longer software updates on S8. Some people prefer smaller screens, others bigger. I'm just annoyed Samsung (and Apple) are refusing to put better displays on smaller tablets.

[@dougnulton]

If there is up to 1 terabyte of external storage, and you said that running files/apps from the external storage was generally fine, can you explain why wouldn’t you just choose the lowest internal storage configuration and use external for the rest? Companies usually up-charge you in internal storage as compared to an equivalent amount of external storage, plus the sd card that you buy can be used with other devices, if you wanted.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi Doug. I would only upgrade internal storage if it gave me more RAM (and I wanted/needed) more RAM. Hope that helps.

[@dougnulton]

@@TechGearTalk yeah, that helps, and that’s what I figured. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something, because from your summary it sounds like the all configurations of the Tab S7 and Tab S8 have 8 GB of RAM, but you didn’t like that the S8 doesn’t have the 512 GB option. But if RAM is all the same regardless of configuration, idk why you wouldn’t just always go for the 128 GB and have an SD card pick up the rest of the slack - as it’s probably cheaper.

[@siamhie]

On the West Coast US, I can pick up from Samsung's web site the S7 for $450 and the S8 for $599 as of Dec 2022.

[@wgh2059]

I'm an s7 user. Do you see the difference between the two regarding display? People say that s8 has better white-balanced display. I don't even know what it precisely means.

[@joeblowjo]

What is that green sheet that allows you to xray through the tablet? I've never seen anything like that!!!!!!

[@Tobi-vw4ip]

In Germany, the S8 starts at 749€=829$ for the 128GB version. Why is it soo expensive here😅?

[@paddy232323]

Same here in India at 826 dollars for wi fi version and 128gb..there is no 256 gb on samsung official site

I have a Samsung tab S7 , and I wanna know that can you use s8 case / keyboards on s7 ? I couldn't find s7 keyboards with good price in my city but I found s8 keyboard/case with a good price and I wanted to know if it's worth it to buy the s8 case/keyboard

[@seniartkreatif]

im an ipad user..for a while now..but im itching to try good android tablet just wanna draw on it...so im eyeing galaxy tab..but dunno whether to go for the latest one or maybe s7?

[@internetexplorer9430]

I found that the S7plus right now is several dollars cheaper than the latter S8, which made me consider buying soon. However, this is the last year that Samsung is gonna be pushing some software updates... Question: Is Software update a major deciding factor? I am really confused. ps... I am more into savings but I also want quality over my purchases.

[@hoangphung86]

Is there difference between TFT LCD in S8 vs IPS LCD in S7?

[@allydew4604]

Both are tft

[@d4mn3t]

As someone who takes a lot of pictures, videos at 60fps, has alot of apps used, stores movies/series in device.. This is kind of a deal breaker. 256gb has been enough for me but could be better. And hearing S8 only has 128gb 🥲. Might as well wait for S9 then...

[@connorkenway4322]

I mean I got the tab s8 because first there aren't any tab s7 left in my country also, it was at the same price with tab s7+ but for pre ordering they have gifted me tab s8 case, samsung keyboard and mouse, galaxy buds 2 and 1-year screen insurance, so tab s8 was far more the superior choice for me.

[@connorkenway4322]

Altough I could find some tab s7 online it was the same price as s7+ so it was not worth it.

[@izzt_fahmi]

I'll wait for Ipad Air 5 vs Samsung Tab S8 🔥

[@TechGearTalk]

Coming very soon!

[@Zr0din]

Does the S7 have a high-end amoled screen? Does it have the 2nd Screen function like I've seen demonstrated on some other reviews for the s8?

[@TechGearTalk]

Neither of these have AMOLED and both of them have Dex

[@Zr0din]

@@TechGearTalk there is a difference between dex and second screen. Basically 2nd screen goes in the opposite direction as dex.

i wish i could get the s7 in the US. i bought it for 782 dollars.. after a really small discount, but on the spcial pre-order sale (with a case included). still not cheep at all, but it was the chepest here.

[@abandonedacc]

if I'm gonna get any of these 2 tablets, it's the s8. The s7 loses support in 2023... and it's 2022. I don't want a tablet that's gonna quickly go out of date. But, that's just a personal preference.

[@Knuckles549]

Losing support is why i am going to get the S7 so we can start getting 3rd party OS updates.

[@AVNGDOLDIR]

Im still on the original tab s think i paid £550 for it about in 2014, its super slow now and the battery only lasts for around 4hrs watching KZbin or movies, dont think im going to bother getting a new one till its broke

[@booramyeaswanth8814]

It means,the Tabs7 models will not get the extended year support and till now I was comparing both in processor,camera,s pen latency,here in India it is about (tab s7+)500$,so even if I want to consider tab s7 plus,due to the reduced price,it will be updated to Android 13 and one UI 5,but Samsung is increasing their level now,I thought till now tab s7 models will also support 4years update,so sir help me in this Confusion.

[@james9031]

No .they mentioned only s8 series will get 4 yrs update .

[@badri6922]

Can I buy S7+( wifi )now?,or suggest any other in same budget 😊

Absolutely - if it's priced lower enough from the S8+. If they are really close in price get the S8+. Hope that helps.
