    I have both S8 and S8 ultra. There's a noticeable difference between the two screens but it's not a deal breaker. I use the ultra mostly for media consumption and as a note taking device on my desk, and the S8 for handheld notes and on the go. Gave my ipad pro m1 to the kids. Samsung nailed it with these.

      @@MrMartis913 media especially on the ultra.
      Screens are much more vivid.
      Multitasking and the ability to use Dex mode to have multiple apps visible beats apple's UI.
      The Samsung writing experience is far better as well. The pens have some give to them that duplicates the soft feel of pen on paper. Apple pencil is hard tip writing on glass. Even with a Paper-Like screen protector it still feels heavy and stiff to write on.
      These are just a few of my favorite things.

      So... does the s8+ fall nicely in the middle?? I'd prefer the ultra screen quality but without the massive size.
      Or should I just jump to the ultra? I'll 100% only use it at home so the size might not matter as much as I think

      @@vyvynylification all your choice, I love the Ultra, if I had to give up every other tablet in my life I'd stick with the Ultra. It's the one I use the most. By day it's a desk pad for note taking, by night it's a media consumption device. I have the S8 for portable work, and some handwriting when I need an extra screen. I'm just saying as far as the displays are concerned, yes, there is a noticeable difference between the quality and brightness of the Ultra vs the S8, but it's not a deal breaker, and side by side with the Ipad Pro the S8 is the better screen imho. Hope that helps.

I do not have more money to buy the plus or the ultra version, and your video got me back to life ahaha now I'm happy I decided for the s8 tablet and that I could buy it, because despite it isn't as cool as the plus and ultra, It isn't that cheap.

      You dont have to regret about it, simply because they're for different categories of people. S8 might have a bit worse worse screen, but its not as heavy as s8 ultra. If you go to a toilet, just a silly example, you wont be able to hold s8 ultra with 1 palm like s8, its just too big. Its basically a laptop without a keyboard. Its just too huge, if you need such screen at home, then maybe you need to think about buying a screen or a tv, because using such a big tablet is just uncomfortable. I'd rather buy a proper laptop with windows, on which i can install proper applications, an even some old video games, rather than buying such a huge tablet. I think tablet should be compact and s8 and s8+ are the best in it. And screen. Screen its nothing. Look how iphone xR was popular a couple of years ago, its screen was way worse than the main line of iphones. Good software is more important than good hardware.

    Good points and it would make sense especially if you use a Samsung phone and Windows (like I do) but I just couldn't get past the software update timeframe. I just upgraded from my Ipad Air (10 years old) and it did stop getting software updates 2019 (still not bad I got it 2013 when it came out) and still gets security updates, but with the new Ipad Pro 11 (3rd gen) I bet it'll get more like 7 to 8 or maybe even more years of software updates. So if I was someone who changed tablets every 4 or 5 years, ya i'd go Samsung S8, but because i'm more the 7 or 8+ year person I think Apple is a bit safer for the long run. Great breakdown though.

    I have the tab s8 ultra. Love it for content consumption, and the keyboard case makes it great for light productivity.
    However, good luck attempting to ever use it in portrait mode. Also not my favorite tablet for gaming unless they are controller compatible games and you are into emulation like myself. Also, the size of it makes it to where it never leaves the house. I prefer my cellular iPad mini 6 for that.
    Unless performance craps out or there is a hell of the deal, I won't grab the S9, but if I do it will probably be the base model. Hopefully, they will come out with a cellular mini version one day, because I would snatch one up quick.

    Samsung tab is absolutely awesome for content consumers as someone who owns almost every top ipad model since ipad 3. Even though samsung Tab cpu chip is massively inferior to the m1 and m2, without third-party app support, ipad are just an expensive brick. Manga and anime app, movie and TV show all in one app, emulator apps, games from ps1, ps2, Gameboy, 3ds, and other are vastly better than nowadays money grabbing mobile games. I made the switch to the samsung tab when Apple removed my 7th manga app, and the anxiety of if the next app will still be in app store the next day.

    I bought the S8 to replace the S5E, and I did not consider it an upgrade for the $283 after trade-in. The S5E screen is noticeably better due to the AMOLED's contrast and viewing angles. The pen was annoying to keep on the tablet, so I left it off. The S5e is 20% lighter and slightly more compact, with the same amount of pixels. I ended up returning the S8. I'd rather keep the S5e and not worry about carrying a new S8 that is a downgrade. Sure the S8 is more powerful, but that's better on a phone you keep on you, not a media consumption device. An S6 which also has an AMOLED would be more of an upgrade. I think once you have a favorite compact laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 5 14"), a tablet is just for media.

I'm bi-vocational as a safety consultant on my day job and worship pastor/drummer so having a good phone is a must. Because of my consulting gig I travel a lot and need to take pics of trains and maintenance shop safety conditions. The camera has been the buggiest. On one of my latest trips to El Paso the camera caused the phone to lock up and overheat. Overheatiing is an issue I have had with all of these phones. And it just locks up on me while doing the most mundane tasks. I have used iPhones for the most part over the last 10 years but I had a Samsung S10 for a work phone a couple years ago and it was just okay. Since I have a new Lenovo Thinkpad I thought I would go back to Samsung. Maybe the wrong decision or maybe I should either get a pixel or go back to iPhone?

    Tab s7 fe was just hard to hold in bed, so I wanted to try smaller form factor.
    I have the accessories that match tab s8 plus. I thought it was little bigger than my expectations, but ...
    I will try the s8 for few days and decide if it still want it. If not, I will try the s8 plus by returning the tab S8. Still this is a learning experience.

Lacks a lot of features. I tried using them but it will take much longer time than working on a laptop to write a simple report. As a matter of fact. The Microsoft word experience on the iPad is even waaay better than the tab s7. If they improved it in the future I can truly say it can replace a windows device.

    I find that Android apps aren’t as good as their iOS counterparts. So, an Android tablet is a no-go for me. I own the 11” M2 iPad Pro and am very happy with it. So, I won’t “forget the iPad Pro”, as suggested.

      @@henenkumbe2133 That may be, but some of us like tablets to do some creative things, too. In my experience, iOS apps perform better than Android versions, so the only Android apps I have are on my old Samsung Note 8. I like the quick transfer of video files (via AirPlay) from my iPhone 12 Pro Max to my M2 iPad Pro for cleanup, then to my MacBook Pro for final video editing. I may look at a Samsung S8, if I get a tax refund this year. 🙏

    I hardly use my 7+ 5G.. I only regret not getting more ram. Even looked into Korean version for the extra 2 gigs... So when I look at what the trade in value for the cellular model was, all I could do was say "no way". Even if I got respectable value for the unit, it does mean I'll use it more. To seal the no deal , was the like new zfold3 . It's big enough, fast enough, affordable and I use my note20 ultra5G as a primary use. So, as greedy as my desires are, I'm fine with that "trio" being my "Duo " experience.
    The hot chips , the battery life experience, the wifi 6e, the extra gigs of ram.. all that is tolerable when I get my head wrapped around my usage and extra cash outlay .

Hopefully the s9 tab with the snapdragon gen 2 processor solves both the battery and performance/lag issues. I'll be upgrading next month depending on price when it comes out. Also not sure if you returned yours prior to the android 12L and 13 updates but multitasking is even much better now that there's a taskbar dock at the bottom like on the fold 4. It literally is unparalleled now in that regard. Not to mention you still have Samsung Dex which can have its own set-up which basically gives you 2 UIs in one. I prefer the stock with the taskbar now because with that you can add folders to the dock compared to the dex ui you can't.

My only (very, very minor) complaint is that I ordered this in bronze and they sent me black. Yes, it should have been corrected, but we were only in country for a short period of time and I didn't want to run the risk of not getting a new one in time. I'm such a fan of Samsung Galaxy tablets that I'd rather suck it up than lose out on having it. In the big scheme of things, this rates an irritant factor of .0000000001 out of 1000. In other words, I'm not looking at the colors when I use it, so I got over it very easily.
