![]() As such, we cannot be sure our tests are accurate. Suffice to say that the SoC (System-on-a-chip) has the most processing and graphics power in the Android world, and you can play any game, run any app and flog it under load – it can cope.īut we need to mention Samsung flagships are throttled – user discovery prompts action where Samsung may detect test software and manipulate results. I don’t want to get into arguments over Apple’s M1 and the SD8 Gen 1 because they run different operating systems that manage memory and other things very differently. ![]() Off-angle viewing (with all OLED) is excellent. The screen is very good in sunlight but a little reflective in direct light. It is colour accurate, and you could do further calibration with its colour temperature and RGB adjustments. Great for video content, and the speakers add presence to movies. But in a practical sense, it is a 60 or 120Hz (not adaptive) refresh rate, and while it claims HDR10,+ we suspect it downmixes that to the screen 16.7m colours. It earns Exceed because an AMOLED screen is rare on a tablet. But remember that the 12.4” S8+ also has this screen, so you have a choice. There is no denying that the fantastic Super AMOLED screen is the prime reason to buy. Take care of it by getting a keyboard/trackpad cover or a slipcover. To our dismay, we nearly dropped it several times – it is not something that fits well on your lap. This is a huge tablet – a two-hand hold – and you need to remember that it is all glass on one side, very narrow bezels (that you can have edge detection issues with), and a vast Armor alloy back – and it is $2K. My pick is the S8+ – it has a more manageable screen size. ![]() We covered the release of the Galaxy Tab S8 family Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series comes in standard, plus, and ultra and the main differences are screen size (11” LCD, 12.4” sAMOLED and 14.6” sAMOLED).Īs they all use the same processor, performance is pretty similar. We occasionally give a Pass ‘+’ rating to show it is good but does not quite make it to Exceed. We use Fail (below expectations), Pass (meets expectations) and Exceed (surpasses expectations or is the class leader) against many of the items below. We cover the essentials in a 5-minute read and then we attach our test results for those that need to know more. ![]() Samsung online and approved retailers Harvey Norman, Domayne, Bing Lee etc Optional Keyboard $349.30 (Magic Keyboard $549).USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps (Thunderbolt 4 40Gbps).13/6MP rear and 13/13 front camera (12/10 rear and 12 front cameras).8/128GB base config with 1TB microSD (no MicroSD).Qualcomm SD8 Gen 1 Flagship SoC (Apple M1).this is not meant to Apple bash but to point out that versus the Apple iPad Pro: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is its ultimate weapon to unseat the iPad Pro – or at least offer Android users an alternative that is, in many ways, superior.
