I know why they have the camera on the back , it is mainly for business purposes imo . A while ago while looking at a house to buy i was accompanying a real estate assessor, he was using an iPad snapping photos of the house and land , checking the quality and sending off photos while on the go , and conversing with the real estate agent , the bigger screen made it much easier to see the quality of his pics and super fast to interact with . I was impressed with how much easier the big screen made the job , and its ease to see out in open.
@sakitech Thanks for this excellent review. I want to order the ultra but am not sure if it has the ability for a sd card. Reason for asking is the pre ordering + deals ends on the 25th (that's what I was told from Samsung) and am leaving for a family funeral that day. Also, do you have a Patreon to join? Thank you Saki.
I’m very happy with my S7 that I got back in October. The screen is great and the speakers are fantastic. I would definitely recommend a Samsung tablet to anyone.
@@primeworld9337 Apple is a closed ecosystem. You would only want an iPad if you have an IPhone. If you have an Android phone don't buy an IPad. They don't work well together.
Had mine for two days now and love it and dont even know all the features. Thank you for this tutorial. The sound is pretty amazing on it. I did get a keyboard off amazon for like $60 and it works great with it. Also lets you stand the tablet up just like it is in a case.
This might not be relatable but Can anybody tell me what does ram do in samsung s8+, s8 or s8 ultra And also whats the difference between 8, 12, 16 gb ram?
Excellent review/demo/presentation. Most tech reviewers put themselves between the viewer and the product (figuratively and literally) but you step aside to allow the product to take centre stage. Thanks!
Thanks Saki for this fantastic review on this Awesome tablet. I was wondering if you will be doing a review on the ultra? Thank you Saki and have the greatest day ever!
Great unboxing video...very detailed! I remember back in the day however unboxing stuff used to be fun...it was like opening a Christmas gift. Is it just me or are companies getting either lazy or uncreative in their presentation? Great video though :)
The one you got is the LTE/5G variant? In some countries, they'll have the WiFi variant instead. This can be difficult because some people may have slow WiFi speed at home. Mine has WiFi speed up to 128 kbps, over 200 kbps max.
I am using this tablet for a few days now and i bought 3rd party keyboard cover and now its like a laptop tab s8+ is the best option for who dont want spend more than 1000€ for a tablet and want full experience
Right before Christmas, they had it on sale for $599.99, I got an excellent open box from Best Buy for $549!!! Even though I have an iPhone, I didn’t want to pay iPad Pro prices! I love the galaxy tab S8+
Wow, without your fantastic setup master class I wouldn't have had a clue about how to set up my Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. I followed you word for word and my tablet is now running perfectly , I don't know if you made a video about how to set up the Galaxy Tab S7 plus but I have 2 of them and also need someone to show me how to set them up. Without people like you the millions of people using Android phones and tablets everyday would be totally clueless. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for presuming we are all thick. Do you seriously think the people paying this sort of money for this tablet don't know what their doing. Your arrogance is unbelievable.
You don't need a pin, just use a paperclip to get access to the tray. Pins, like those microSD cards, have the tendency to get lost if you need them. Paperclips have saved me quite often. ;-)
I'd just like to know about the Sound settings if there's a Sound Equalizer or not. My Tab A 10.1 does but my new Tab a8 doesn't which kinda makes me mad
Nice review as always Saki. However I own the Tab s7 plus and I must say that most of what you could offer on this review (by no fault of your own) is basically the same as the Tab s7 plus. It's like staring at the same tablet, even the keyboard cover case is an identical fit for both tablets. It's only taken Samsung 2 years to bring out the same tablet in my opinion.
same here im not paying anything to upgrade but samsung doesnt need to try too hard theres alot of people who are suckered into always having the newest tablet/phone ect. You wont see a real upgrade for another 2 tablets yet.
I use the camera to scan documents when I meet clients at their office/home. That makes them instantly available for integration into my software for filing.
nice video, but I was wanting to know if there is an adapter that works with samsung s-8+ that go's into the charging port and lets you use 3.5mm plug to use headphones. it plugs into the port but I don't want to mess up.
I received my S8 plus a few days ago yet I have not used it yet. To go to the box to power it up but just been too busy. I just did not want to do the ultra and I went to Best buy to look at it. I'm not looking for a laptop replacement. I have enough laptops that are that size and right now in my life I like the smaller devices. The regular S8 would be a great size, but what I want to do with it the 12.4 inch screen is the perfect size. Same with the keyboard with the trackpad, as much as I would like that, I think the one that I'm getting with it is going to be better as it works on the lab a little better. My surface devices with the little kickback don't always work on the lab but device is like the iPad with the keyboard that sits on its cover work a little better on the loud. My goal is to use this one lying in bed or sitting down somewhere to edit videos with the lumafusion when it comes up.
Thanks for this. I pre-ordered this guy but I also have an 11 inch M1 iPad Pro that I won off eBay for a few $100's less than retail (brand new) shipping to my house as well. Confused on which one I should keep. I know the S8 Plus has the better AMOLED display compared to LCD and the pen is included, but the iPad has that M1 chip. It's under utilized on the iPad for sure but who knows what iPadOs 16 will bring to the table.
I received my Tab S8+ today, when I move close enough to see the screen, I can see slight noise on the display and also a slight green tint when dark mode is turned on, is this normal with an AMOLED display. Especially, in grey areas like the background grey color in the notification panel where Device Control and Media output options are and in the settings area. It isn't at all noticeable at a viewing distance but if I look close enough I can see that. Should I keep the tablet or replace it. I'm confused, and not sure if it's a display problem or it is supposed to be like that.
Im planning to buy my first tablet mostly for note taking because im starting Medt school on august and use it on my free time for other things like gaming or media etc. But im still deciding between getting the tab s8 plus or M1 ipad pro 11 inch... Which one should I go for?
Depends on which other devices you have mostly. If you already own a mac and an iphone the ipad is a no brainer because of the intuitive way apple devices work together. Otherwise I would go with the tab s8 plus just because of the better value you get with the free s-pen, the sd card slot and the free keyboard you can get sometimes (depending on the deals in your area). I personally use the ipad 11 pro and had the chance to test the samsung s8 plus for a week as well. Despite from the user interface and software both perform very similar. Both are top quality.
Looking to buy the Galaxy S8 plus Tab. The only thing holding me back is a functional webclipper ( as in Windows ) which can give me simplified articles of web news. Any app which can give me that?
Seriously? You don't know why tablets have rear-facing cameras? Some apps need a camera to scan documents or bar codes. This is especially the case for tablets that get used as part of Point-of-Sale systems at retail stores. People are not using them to snap family photos. That's what phone cameras are for.
Thank you for the info but I want to know how does it handle Facebook and other compatible with those Twitter, Instagram, TikTok platinum especially Facebook Camera functions.. Thank You...
It is very good of the product, very helpful. Just one question though, how can i create a folder and save my files etc into a particular folder like we do in windows
We have amazing tablet like these but with Android it feels like you can't utilize the full potential of the tablet. Makes me wish MS would come out with a similar Tab with Windows 11 OS properly optimized along with MS version of DEX. That imo would be what can really compete with Apple.
The point is that most people use tablets for simple things. Ilove the android tablets and they are a bit cheaper as well in comparison to apple. I have had both but I prefer the Samsung tablets. I dont really draw on the tablet. I mostly write, game, internet, listening to music, watch movies and shop on the tablet. These things are feeling better on the tab s
with being $400 cheaper than comparable ipad pro model with pen, I would take s8+ anyday. s8+ 128gb with discount I got it for $740. ipad pro 12.9 5th gen 128gb is $999 + pen $129 + tax = $1200. it is $740 vs $1200.. with this much price difference, I don't care M1 chip is 2x more powerful than snapdragon 8 gen 1. snapdragon 8 is good enough for multi-tasking and I don't play game much. it's not like m1 can beat my rtx 3080ti equipped pc or ps5 and xbox one x. :D

i have seen people link tab sultra to s22 ultra and draw on one screen and it appears on another ,does this work for the tab s8 plus too?
8:06 false. The Ultra has 2.6 ms latency but the normal 8 amd the Plus do have 6 ms
not enough of an upgrade to trade in my s7+ 5g but its nice!
My mom says he will buy me a tablet after 4-5 months and I am very excited 😆🤩
Gonna get it tomorrow!!!
I noticed that there are no nibs for the Tab S8+ S-pen in the box
as with the Tab S6
Do they no longer need changing?
