  • Here is my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 all-inclusive review! I'm super excited because this is my first high-end Samsung tablet since the Galaxy Tab A8 and A7 Lite. This review is also coming from an iPad user's perspective. I use the Apple pencil almost every day so let's see how the S pen that they included for free, is.

    You can check the settings to limit the charging at 85%. More reviewers should be aware of this feature as this would improve the longevity of your battery.

    quick question: can you rest your hand on the screen while writing with the S Pen without the hand registering a touch imput which then draws on the screen (I couldn't tell from the video if you were actually doing that while writing)?

    • @bff4901
      @bff4901 Рік тому +1

      I have the s8+ and yep. In samsung notes palm rejection is automatically on. You would not be able to write with your hands. It will only work for when you scroll or zoom in. I do think this is adjustable in settings if you dont prefer it.

      Apples users will tell you to stick to iPads.
      The consumer market tells you iPads' market share has crashed from 80% to 34% in the last 9 years.
      And Samsung's marke share has increased from 8% to over 20% during the same time.
      So do you want to listen to the market or Apple fanboys...

      Samsung flagships easily 5-6 years, so totally worth it.
      My cheap 7" Tab A6 from 2016 with only 8GB storage lasted me 4+ years of HEAVY use and still felt great in 2020.
      Now My Tab S7 is my favorite electronic device of all time! It's what I call a masterpiece. My experience with it has been amazing, perfect, and after 18 months of heavy use, it's still flawless. I traded it for the Tab S8 only because I wanted more RAM and storage and since Samsung trade-in deals were so amazing, why not? Samsung gave me back what I paid for it in 2020, which was $550. But I plan to stick with the Tab S8 for 5+ years.
      I also own an iPad Mini 5, which is basically a mini iPad Air 3 and I love it because of the size, which is perfect for mobile gaming. I also love drawing on Procreate with my Apple pencil. The Mini 5 from 2019 is still pretty fast and powerful, but man iPadOS is so disappointing compared to Android OS + One UI.
      So I would never trade a Galaxy Tab S7/S8/S9 for any iPad, even if it had an M5 chip just because of 1-2 more years of life cycle.
      The Tab S7/S8 is a beautiful powerful beast and it's worth it no matter the price.

      iPads are still my 2nd fav tablets in the world, after the Galaxy Tab S.
      I'm a huge tablet lover and user, so I can't live without the the Galaxy Tab S7/S8 now.

    Great tablet for basically everything. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS I bought it specifically for art, and that 4k screen is really fantastic for it! Also has LOUD audio, even tho the speakers aren't in necessarily prime locations it really projects!You do need to get a case for this bad boy IMMEDIATLY though as it doesn't come with one.Battery life is really good! Standby time us FANTASTIC. This guy can go about a week on standby and be just fine. The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. There is no way to turn down resolution either, so it just be like that.Would still judge this bad boi at 10/10 for my first tablet. I've had it 3 months now and its not shown any evidence of "slowing down" or anything. Love it!
