- Nowadays you're seeing more and more students switching from a laptop to a tablet for all of their productivity and entertainment. Although laptops are more portable than ever, It's pretty clear students appreciate an, even MORE, portable setup. That's where the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 steps in. This is one of my favorite Android tablets on the market, but if you’re a student, it has some serious competition from Apple. So, is the Galaxy Tab S8 the best tablet for students? #GalaxyTabS8 #TabS8 #Student

I've been using the tab s7 plus for about 2 years now and I have to say that it's a really good tablet. Battery life is great even after 2 years of heavy usage. I only need to charge it every other day, if I end up watching hours of youtube/netflix I might need to charge it everyday. But for productivity it lasts a really long time. It charges very fast (about an hour and a half) and chargers are durable and pretty cheap, so you can replace them. I'm mentioning that because I had a hard time paying for apple chargers in the past. S pen is great and to me feels more comfortable than the apple pen. Samsung notes is a free app that has most of the features you'll ever need, but it is true that there aren't enough apps on android right now and if you want to use a specific app like good notes, then I suggest an ipad. Widgets are amazing, interactive and with the new update (smart widgets) you can save space on your homescreen. Watching content on it is fantastic due to the aspect ratio (lass black bars on top and bottom of the screen). Camera placement is better for video calls in my opinion, but the video quality isn't mind blowing. Screen quality is very good. The one downside for me is the lack of accessories, I did buy the official Samsung book cover but when I travel I do need something more protective than that, 3rd party cases are hard to find, Samsung doesn't sell tip replacements (not sure if they do now but when my tip broke I couldn't find one made by Samsung). I recommend the Lammy EMR tips, there are two different types one that is made out of plastic that works great with paperlike screen protector, the other one has a soft tip and is similar to the one that comes with the spen. I imagine that with the s8 line, Samsung has improved on all of these, so the experience must be even better. This comment is probably messy, so excuse my mistakes and lack of commas.
EDIT: this is for those who wonder how a Samsung tablet performs in the long run.
You can just ask the Samsung support for a new pencil tip, they'll send you one. My bf had the same problem and they even did it for free I think. Idk why they don't just sell them on their website though.
@@laurar6121 oh I didn't know about that. Thank you sm for the tip 💓
Hi, when do you write on samsung notes, social media etc, do you have autocorrect feature while using it with the physical keyboard?
How's the standby power drain on tour tablet i mean when is not activated?
@@Dr.MariaA. should I get samsung s7+ tablet or s8 tablet I just want one for e reading manga n light novels
I missed the "student" perspective
Nice. I am a student myself, and I am glad to see someone review it for that purpose
Dude what the hell the production on these videos is ridiculously good for a sub 50k creator. Hope to see ya high up above next years, all the best!
Easily the most helpful video when deciding to purchase this tablet, and I really appreciate you posting links to the accessories!
Just wanted to say your videos are amazing dude !! Cinematography is in point
Thank you! I was looking for reviews that are study/work related.
Completely agreed with your conclusion here. Also these shots are 🔥🔥
Thank you Kevin!
Good review that covers most of the basics. Thanks.
Thank you so much mate. I was struggeling deciding what tablet to use for students. I came to the conclusion that this one is probably the way to go. I already had Samsung my whole life and I really like the fact, that the Samsung Tablet S8 is one of the best for entertainment, because I will also use the tablet for streaming Netflix for example! Thanks! :)
this video is shot so beautifully!!
It feels good in the hand. He cracked me up sharp edges. I've been on my Tab S8+ since 8 :00 this morning and still have 70% battery. You need to tweak your settings.
Well said and not just for students.
I think i saw your review on Amazon, very objective. I ordered mine, can't wait to use it
Love this review! (Actually the best one I’ve seen, and I’ve watched a load!)
Mark, very much appreciate that!
This was extremely helpful thank yo
I'm really impressed with this tablet! I'm a small business owner, and it's perfect for mobile product demos, prospect and client management, and contract signing for inperson meetings!
Good review and professional video! Greetings from Spain.
Thanks for this review. Very well done.
Thank you. Very helpful.
thankyou for this video!!! 🙏
What they are doing with Dex is really cool, dope video Victor 🔥
Yessir! Thanks Emmanuel!
Loved the Amazon review 🫡 6:11
Loved you video bro.. thumbs up from India..
Love the video! It’s good to know that the iPad isn’t the only good tablet out there.
Right! Finally we have some good competition.
Oh wow the video ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for a very good informative video
Nice video. Really like the cinematograpgy! It's somenthing different than most tech youtubers :D
Thank you:)
I think this tablet is perfect for an all around use. I have an iPad 12.9 pro and this on the side for plane travelings and Kindle/Audio books. I am mainly an apple user but this is definitely something I don't regret buying on the side. Great review!
Helpful review.
Que perfeição vídeo! 😊
Really nice review. Great video Bro!
Thanks for the support bro!
if marquess brownlee or mrwhoestheboss were to quit, this man is going to carry on their legacy 👏
This was shot in my school!!!! 😁
I am getting obsessed with this tablet and I think I should ask for this for my birthday
Good luck getting it lol . I begged for a month and I'm still begging
@@user-se4gz2on5p rip father said I will get a gaming pc
Well, here is a genuine students perspective: Do NOT buy a galaxy tab s8
done...
Because - why would you? If money is no concern .. get what you want. But that is hardly a "students" perspective, because money must always balance usefulness. Do you NEED an up-to-date tablet? really?
If you take notes, use it for a quick text, annotations, screen-write and a brainstorming .. you do not need it. Get a S6 lite, a Xiaoxin p11 or an old surface pro 7 or 8. All of those options cost you less than 25000 ISK (something like 200 $) - there is no need for a latest Apple or Samsung device .. unless your "need" is to show that you can.
In terms of usefulness .. the S8 (i actually use the big one) is by NO means superior to any other tablet that allows the use of a good stylus. ... except for gaming. (and the Ultra for size - which is only matched by the Galaxy view, which is garbage)
If gaming is your focus - get a Switch
If working with and in texts is your thing - get an older iPad (and i really dislike Apple) - or an older S6 lite (goes for 25000-30000 ISK)
If drawing, painting and graphics are your thing - get a Wacom Cintiq (for Students i would suggest the Entry "Wacom One" - which is around 30000 new)
if writing AND drawing is your thing .. get a used Microsoft Surface (preferably 7 if you have to turn every penny - or 8 if you can afford it .. because the battery life of the 7 is poor and the 8 is good) - Especially the Surface pro makes sharing with an actual PC much easier.
My advice to students .. differentiate between what you NEED and what you WANT. Two very different things.
Thank you...this was very helpful 🤗
But i want to know whether s6 lite has samsung dex🤔
@@normie111 I have an s6 lite and it does have Samsung Dex
@@meritxellshepherd7680 1)i heard that in Samsung notes you can record voice during class and making notes...and when u play the recorded file the notes will appear according to voice playing...was this feature available when u were using s6 lite or is it only for flagship?
2)And did extra size make any difference to you or is small size just fine?
3)Also what about the s-pen?....i heard s pen is bad in s6 compared to s7 and s8..is that true?
@@normie111 honestly how big of a difference does that make for a student lol. All gimmicks, just students trying to justify spending a fat amount of their financial aid on new toys for "studying" purposes. Because why would I NOT need that, right?
I'm a student who uses an s6 lite and honestly it's a bit too slow
It's just not fast enough when I'm trying to finish my homeworks before deadline in an hour or something, thinking about upgrading to the latest one (s8 or maybe s9 when it comes out) for reliability and i will keep using it until i need an upgrade
great vid
Good review
I get had the tab S7 for about a year and have loved using it
do u think its worth buying now?
@@user-se4gz2on5p I have the same doubt
@@slowgirl2699 lol same. But I don't think it's worth because the update support is over. Old chipset, old and already degraded battery, old things and yeah. Better to save up a bit and get the s8 or trade in ur stuff for one OR
get a life and sell ur kidney for it jkkkk
@@user-se4gz2on5p I like my kidney :( lol
But I don't know, it will get update until 2023. In the samsung official store, it's available for $460. I'm still I doubt with it. It's a very great tablet and the price as good.
@@slowgirl2699 haha cool . Alright. What device r u trading in? It's better to sell on ebay and use that money rather than trade in
This guy is so cute and I love Samsung. I would love to meet this man.
Can it be connected to projectors via type c via hdmi, to see the output on projector while typing/using? plz answer.. its urgent. 😥
Will it play 4k video files recorded on a digital camera? I have a Nikon Z6II and want to use a tablet to view the videos i've taken with my Z6II on a tablet.
Make a comparison video with the iPad Pro.
Tab s8 is just the perfect size for me.
just what i needed. im a eight grade student. i have a laptop which is the same price as the tab s eight. im selling it to buy this. ur review helped me a lot. im rly a nerd so i always study so i need some good stuff lol
Very glad I can help!
@@everytingauto no probs
You can barely spell, as a nerd student.
Laptops with Windows are superior devices in every aspect. The only thing they are lacking is the option to take notes with a stylus. If that is what you want, I would either suggest getting two devices (and a cheap tablet will suffice) or making the jump to a 2-in-1. Alternatively, you have to live with lacklustre performance and options in the Office suite.
Great video
Appreciate it! The video came out🔥🔥🔥
I replaced the s-pen with Wacom one stylus and I use my tablet S7+ every day ☺️
Did it broke? How long id endured?
@@slowgirl2699 it’s been about a month and I haven’t changed a nib yet so the pen is durable and holding one, also easy to grasp.
@@LvUhcX oh and is it good for writing?
@@slowgirl2699 yes 😊
@@LvUhcX why did you replace s-pen?did it broke😰?
Hi, when do you write on samsung notes, social media etc, do you have autocorrect feature while using it with the physical keyboard?
I just hope the base tab S-series would have amoled display in the future.
They do now 😊
Well done. I just got my galaxy tab S8 last week. Trying to find productivity software that will work with it beside Microsoft 365. Does the S8 work with Open Office?
Did you use the Samsung education offer/program you verify with email? And if you verify with email for student program to get discount, is it a regular s8+ tab? Or does it have restrictions specific for students like only certain apps? Or is it literally just a regular tab s8+ only with the discount?
it is a regular device. i bought a watch using the edu discount. that's all it is, a discount.
front camera also 4k video recording at 60fps?also full hd 1080p- at 60fps video recording on both front and back camera?
This video edition… omg
Nice vid
any plans to review the Galaxy Tab s8 ultra?
If in school you get like handouts can you scan them and do them digitaly or is that not possible
can you please explain about "how much internal storage to use as virtual memory" there are options of 2GB, 4GB, 6GB and 8GB
Start with the lowest (2 GB). If you crash from lack of memory, increase it. If you don't crash, leave it be. Same deal as with Windows 3.x.
Thank you Paul
IN GENERAL for tablets, the memory (RAM) starts at 2 GB IS NOT ENOUGH to do much especially if you open a couple of applications at the same time. The cheaper tablet 2 GB or 3 GB on Samsung A8 tablet works really well but you may be limited with 2 GB or 3 GB.)
**Samsung tablets SAMSUNG S8 OR S8+:
Higher memory levels for Samsung tablet S8 gives you: 4 gigabytes tablet (GB) or another 6 GB tablet. You CANNOT CHANGE the RAM on a tablet (BUT RAMs can be changed ON A LAPTOP OR DESKTOP).
Samsung tablet RAM of 4 GB is very good but in my personal case, I will buy a 6 GB tablet so I can use it for 4-5 years as the internet applications increase too.
Samsung S8 PLUS (S8+) tablet has a 8 GB RAM tablet RAM but in my personal case, it's too expensive tablet because I don't use tablets as a PROFESSIONAL (I use my day job on a laptop and desktop so S8/S8+ RAM 6 GB IS ENOUGH to play, email, internet websites, reading books, and watch videos and others.)
--Note: Some people use Samsung tablet S7, S7+, S8, and S8+ as a professional applications (artwork, editing, etc) and they need maybe RAM 6 GB or 8 GB (the RAMs are increasing almost in every new version of the tablets but may be more expensive too.)
Laptops and tablets are converging almost today by performance, screen quality and size, and applications. Good luck!
---
Storage (photos, documents, etc)
Samsung gives you 64 GB, 128 GB storage and more BUT you can change the storage by buying a microSDXC and its very affordable. In my case, I will start with 128 GB.
I was about to buy ipad but now i am love with s8 especially the camera the s pen and dex mode i have a samsung tab but its too old
So you're ended up with buying Galaxy tab?
If this tablet was $550 or $600, it would be a steal but it's still a solid device! Great vid..👍🏽
Check best buy open box- I got one in "excellent" condition for 550 and it's brand new. All the packaging and plastic was intact.
Tab s8 plus Only 54000rs (650 $) In india after bank Discount
Bruh ❤
I think that S Pen is far far more comfortable and accurate than Apple Pencil 2...
Nice video 📌
Thanks bro!
Can s8 ultra be useful for engineering student?
So I would use this for university in enginieering. I'm looking for a workhorse
Is it good for web designing and graphic designs?
hey yall, i just wanna ask yall if anyone has good knowledge on tablets because i don't.
Is this s8 worth it? I'm a university student whos looking for a tablet for taking notes and stuff, i just cant know for sure if im going with the right option here, idk if this is a good upgrade on s7 or s7 fe (which was my #1 to go to until they released the s8), so what do yall think? is the -1.4 inch that i lose if i choose s8 on s7 fe really worth it?
I think it depends a lot on also the money you want to spend on them, however for what I know the s8 extra screen is very useful
I ageee with pickle rick the more inch screen better for note taking 📝
@@picklerick8971 the s7 fe I bigger
Bro i love your videos and this review is very well done. One thing that I can't figure out about this tablet as a university student is : are 11 inches enough or it happens to feel very limited while taking notes and using it as a substitute to notebooks? I was wondering if maybe go for the s7 FE just for the screen space. If anyone that owns a tab s8 can reply it would be very helpful!
11 inches is the same size as a regular piece of paper. It's perfect for notes (unless you write largely)
In the end i bought It and used It to study 4 exams since. I substitjted It to books and notebooks, it's a very beutyful machine. Very powerful, very good audio, very good display, and the stylo even if Is not 100% precise Is still precise enough to let the user have a very nice experience writing.
You can attach the spen to the top of the tab s8 like the ipad Witze the apple pencil 2 of you don`t need to Charge
But it helped me a lot in deciding what to buy
Really nice video
@@Jojo-cc4el Glad I can help! Lol I just tried that and you can definitely just snap it to the side.
@@everytingauto oke i habe the tab s8 and it works😂
I want that stylus so bad lol
It sounds like you need a Tab S8 G!
It's nice. Using it now.
Right they're on sale on Costco, 100$ off. Snatching it right away!

Glad to hear your honest review.
Much appreciated it bro!
How did you get the dad emoji?
@@everytingauto Hi, when do you write on samsung notes, social media etc, does autocorrect feature work while using it with the physical keyboard?
What about gaming on s8 ?
Very helpful! Thanks! I am really in doubt of replacing my Surface Pro with an S8 or an S8+. I notice I hardly ever use the SP as tablet on the couch. So that would verify going for the S8. However I am worried I will be disappointed with the smaller size when using it for productivity. Can you shed any light on that?
Well s8 ultra is a 14.6 inch screen and it's amazing
@@JCE_Productions , however, the S8 ultra has never been on the table as an option. Either the 8 or the 8+. If someone can shed some light on that....
Nah the normal s8 is perfectly fine for productivity, the "smaller size" is not a deal breaker for most people.
@@danielkaye2615 Thanks! I will check it out in a store. Hopefully they have a keyboard with it as well. I'd really like to test that too
Are you going to sell your old tablet? I m a student and i m really in need of tablet
nice channel name bro XDD

Don't waste your money kids!
Are you reviewing the S8 or S8+? If that's the S8, I must say, it's still a good size for a medium tablet.
put a caption, please
3:07 My man skipped on a good pair of pants so he can buy a tablet 💀
LOL
Anyone looking to buy an s8 rn, they cost $279.99 for the 128 gb model
Where?
is it s8 or s8+, seem like s8+ for me
Thats a tab s8
s8+ would be better.
Why did Samsung refuse to give your Android tablet a Chromebook mode? And invent their own Dex mode?
With Portable displays that take a HDMI signal, I think modern tablets all should do the same. When you plug in a HDMI cord, signal comes in and you have the option of using your tablet to preview a cinema camera recording or watch a movie from a DVD player. Because Samsung is not Apple, they can do cool things like this (Apple would remove every port if they could! Even the power port!)
These tablets can also double as a poorman's Wacom Cintiq. But only way to test that is to borrow a moment of an art friend who can really stress test such a use case. They can tell their friend Victor whether the stylus' lag (how soon a stroke shows up in the app) is tolerable. Can the stylus tilt? Does palm rejection work? Is pressure sensitiveness work okay?
Learn how to use swipe input on Android (both the Samsung software keyboard and Gboard do it). It's just as good as a physical keyboard for most things.
Swipe input is one area where the S8 is going to be better than an S7+ or S8+, much less the S8 Ultra.
This was bought to replace an old Lenovo tablet which was essentially too sluggish to cope with modern websites. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxz4qYZoyAOb_hq_UbaKI6AsZX0FnoFm-U This tablet is fast, has a very clear display with built in optional eye comfort shield, great sound with Dolby Atmos, split screen option and numerous tweaks that I've not yet explored. I've plugged a wireless receiver into the i/o socket to connect a mouse if I need it and a bluetooth keyboard works fine - unlike the Lenevo which somehow would often garble the input. Battery life seems good. In short I'm very pleased with it
