    2:30 to open face unlock with keyboard case, go to : setting - biometrics and security - face recognition - turn off "stay on lock screen until swipe" - after that click "add alternative appearance to enhance recognition" . If you're wearing glasses, wear them first. Then just follow the step after that.
    Try it with lock screen and close the keyboard, then open it again. It works on my tab. Hope this will help you too.

    Also, the S Pen doesn't need to be charged to write and work as a regular stylus. The only purpose for charging it is to use the bluetooth air gesture function thingy. So if you're someone who primarily just uses it for taking down notes or drawing, you never have to worry about having to wait for it to charge.

    I think both the iPad and the tab s8 will be relevant for about the same amount of time even if the tab gets 4-5 years support and the iPad gets 6-7. Android versions don't become as irrelevant as quickly as iPad /iOS versions. Android seems to retain support for mainstream apps for years after the release of a particular version of android where as once and IOS / iPad OS version becomes one year out of date you start to lose app support like crazy.

      So true! I think he doesn't know this because he has no experience with other Android tablets. I have an old Lenovo tablet on Android 5 and it can run the vast majority of apps. Instead, IOS 9 and even IOS 10 are a disaster in terms of app compatibility. Even youtube does not run anymore. And Android 5 is older than IOS 9.....

      The main point of update is to provide new features, but the fact that people don't understand is that, one version of android updates easily contains more new features that apple provides in an life time of their products. What's the point of updating every year if you get nothing new...
      Main feature of ios 14- widgets (available in android for 10+ years), ocr in gallery(any android can do that with google photos app with 8+years), main feature of ipad os- multitask(available in android since marshmello -split screen),,,,i guess i have nothing more to say...

      @FubarMike 2 роки тому +29

      @@im_not_sarcastic yes. Also elements of android get updated through Google play services so you get new features without needing a full OS upgrade. The thing that really annoys me about apple is like you said them introducing features that android has had for ages as new revolutionary features. The best I've heard apple say is we weren't the first to do this but we are the ones who did it right. When in reality google did it right from the start.

    The tab S8 is a great buy for students, busy bodies, mobile on the go people, etc especially with other Samsung devices. It works great for the phone, Google messages, using the same pair of earbuds with another device. I've been using mine for Samsung Notes, editing video with KineMaster, UA-cam in 4k, etc. The integration for Samsung Notes is really awesome especially on WiFi it updates and tells you when you're on the S8. For students this is awesome as you don't have to worry about syncing all of time. Don't have a keyboard so can't comment on that but the s pen is awesome. 👍

    Bought the tab s8 plus , as a student I've been entirely in android ecosystem ever since , so the idea of gettin an iPad pro or this was tough , but I chose this and it's been worth it , for my usage this tab is a monster performer , never felt a gitter in my almost 2 months of usage , and that screen and speakers combo makes it a entertainment powerhouse as well , I don't game alot , but trued genshin at high settings , it was buttery ... Plus the level of multitasking and dex support is also brillaint , now the most imp part the notes (I'm a student lol) , samsung notes are by far excellent and the multitasking capabilities make it even better as I can jot down notes and have 2-3 browsers and apps open, it doesn't break a sweat,,, the only grieve I have is from s pen , due to rubber nib it feels delicate to use , though I use it often and from where I've purchased they have promised that they will get me nibs in case these get broken but I think here apple did a better job at making it a hard tib so you get carefree with the intensity , but again if you are interested in this I can tell nibs are cheap so don't worry much
    On and all , I feel this is the best tablet (s8 +) for a majority of people ,and students , I'm super happy with this purchase

    To be honest…I have an iPhone 13 and I also have a galaxy s21. I have my sim in the iPhone (iMessage needed for work) but I have the Galaxy laying around the house on WiFi. I use both heavily. The apps on the iPhone have been been buggy lately. Even on my previous iPhone 12. Also navigation (back swipe, notification shade pull down, etc) is far better on the android. Dare I say the iPhone is actually sort of annoying to use and the Galaxy is more how I’d imagine a user interface should work. Not sure what’s going on at apple but their software design team is starting to get smug. It’s showing. Same with macOS. Mostly annoying to use when compared to windows.

    I think paying the extra for 256 GB storage is a no brainer. In the UK the 256GB model is £50 more (£699 Vs £649). The system takes up storage before you've even started. So in reality for £50 you're actually MORE than doubling the available storage.

      @@ryanwerner6137 Sure. Internal memory is miles quicker than microSD. Apps filll up storage quickly and don't update when moved to microSD. I've had microSD cards corrupt on me. Internal ROM is far more reliable. It's only £50 for in real terms more than double the storage after considering space for the OS. If you're willing to pay £649 for a premium tablet then an extra £50 is a no brainer. I have the 256GB model and use microSD too for downloads - mainly data that's not important like Audible, TV shows, Prime, UA-cam etc so if the microSD card does corrupt it's no big deal as I can download it again. It also keeps the serious data I store on the ROM separate from the junk I use for entertainment.

    I would upgrade from the base model! The OS takes up 32GB of ROM before you've started. So by going for the 256GB model you are MORE than doubling the usable RAM. In the UK the base model is £649 and 256GB model £699. If you're willing to pay £649 for a tablet then £50 is nothing. And the extra storage is nowhere near as expensive as Apple's.

    I’m a long term Samsung user in a mobile professional capacity for close to a decade. Watch, lots of paid apps, latest big phone, smart tags, tablets, laptops, TVs. I switched everything to Apple last December and while Samsung is the best integrated ecosystem next to Apple, there is still “friction” using Samsung products. Samsung products also get slower over time for reasons I don’t understand. Apple takes the edge off and just works the same all of the time. Android and Windows have lots of great features and incredible “customization,” but Samsung’s only advantage category is DEX and MAYBE google voice over Siri. People who don’t use DEX are missing the marquis feature of Samsung. But everything else is a little “hacky” and build quality just doesn’t give me a feeling that I COULD use Samsung products for many years like Apple. Great review, but I think the new will wear off the Tab S8 in ways that never come to mind with Apple products. One other great thing about Samsung is that they give unbelievable trade in deals on their tech every year.
