    Thanks to your advice, I got the 8+. During the Pre Order Phase, I traded in my Tab S6 Lite and got the Tab S8+ for $550 along with the free keyboard. I declined on the S8 cuz last year I got the Tab S7 FE and returned it due to the poor display resolution. Thank you for reminding me to "BUY IT NICE OR BUY IT TWICE, SAGI!"

      Not meaning to interrupt but the S7 fe density's is lower than the S8
      We're talking about 30 ppi difference
      And that what makes the S8 display much better while they're both sharing the same LCD screen and because the S8 has a smaller screen so ..

    Tough decision for me since the two are almost identical. I decided on the S8 because of its smaller, more portable size that's easier to hold. I will have to wait until Mid-April to get it though. I've never seen Android tablets sell out this fast before.

    • @TheChriddler
      @TheChriddler 2 роки тому +38

      I came to the same decision. Ultimately, tablets fill a very niche market. For me anyway, I already have a desktop PC and a laptop.
      What I will use the S8 for is consuming media and as a portable working machine. My laptop is small but even taking that around with me can be a pain sometimes.
      The s8+ is only slightly smaller than my laptop, so I don't see the point in having two devices the same size. I think we made a good choice !

    Thank you for this great comparison! I am very much in doubt between these two. I want to replace my Surface Pro 5 with either the S8 or the S8+. At first glance it is a no-brainer: the S8+. Reason is that I am using it for business purposes a lot! The huge downside is what I see has happened to my Surface Pro 5 as well: I hardly ever use it on the coach as an actual tablet. So, then it boils down to using the tablet as a laptop with s touch screen....

    For anyone considering the S8 (base one). I was struggling too, and I thought I might regret my choice of the S8, but I absolutely do not, here's why:
    - My concern was that the screen would be too small for note taking. This isn't true, for $200 more in my opinion it wouldn't be worth it to get a little more room. It's absolutely fine how it is right now, and I'm more than happy than it.
    - My other concern was that the screen wouldn't be as good. Although I'm sure it isn't "As good", it's still beautiful and amazing. I'm really happy with the quality.

      Well, it comes down to what you mean by "better". The S8+ technically has a better screen (for example). But it's not better if you want a more portable option. Personally, I like the bigger display because content looks bigger, there's more room to work with when multitasking and a bigger canvas for notes. But it's also more expensive. I can do the same things on both tablets, so it's a question of budget.

    The 10 inch not having a SAMOLED display is a criminal punishment of loyal samsung users. I have been saying this for 3 years......I don't need a bulky 12 inch +. My use is for a more portable 8 inch or at most a 10 inch form factor.....It is absolutely criminal that no one not just samsung is willing to provide a version with SAMOLED screen at that screen size, even at a higher price for the better screen. This is especially puzzling since Samsung does provide incredible OLED displays for the M series phones which are around 6 inches. It is crazy.....and the only reason I won't buy an Android tab. The big screen is a big part for a buying a tan and if that ain't good what's the point. Plus if it is too big and just lies around unused Ima feel much worse about wasting that kind of money and never using it. I don't know if this will be addressed any time soon..... It's been 3 years + waiting.
    I'm normally not too concerned about such slight difference but the difference between a TFT and a OLED is very noticeable..esp in the blacks. And these are expensive devices. Samsung just pushing people to buy the more expensive devices and not giving them more choice in size and displays... don't understand it.

    I have it in an Otterbox Defender, and I have toured on a motorcycle with the tablet in my side cases. Dropped it a few times too, over the years. On of my main hesitations for the Samsung tablets is that Otterbox doesn’t make a Defender case for them.

    Still can't justify upgrading my Tab S4 to one of the newer models. Nothing of fundamental importance has been added over the last 4 years as far as I can see, but then again, I've been around to experience the birth of iOS and Android and the epiphany of owning a phone miles more powerful than my first desktop PC. In comparison, the "evolution" from the Tab S4 to the S8 is really marginal.

      I was just about to disagree but after comparing the two on gsmarena I realized your opinion is sound. I have a tab s3 that I am looking to upgrade. I prefer the aspect ratio of the tab s3 but it is too slow now so it might be time to move on.

    • @lacsativ1
      @lacsativ1 2 роки тому +2

      @@GRYL180 At the very least I can vouch for the performance when it comes to general use (UA-cam, emails, etc). I use it for research most of the time which involves using multiple chrome tabs, note/doc writing apps, and multiple heavy PDF documents in Xodo. Some occasional art here and there in Sketchbook as well. For these the performance is still more than decent.
      That being said, Dex multitasking performance could be better. Using 2 apps at once works alright but then other apps open in the bar will occasionally have to reload when clicked.
      There's also some occasional loading times when opening a new app, it's not perfectly snappy like an SSD PC or an iPad (or some of the newer Tab models I presume).

    The Galaxy Tab 8 Plus is a throttling mess while gaming. For how much this tablets cost there really is no excuse for Samsung not to put in place a much better cooling solution for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. There is no point equipping these tablets with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 if Samsung can not be bothered to make sure that the tablets have a very effective cooling solution to keep throttling to a absolute minimum while gaming.
