Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the Samsung S8 tablet online and opted for store pick-up. The day of pick-up the staff was very attentive and polite and asked to see the e-mail with my pick-up information. I showed it and one of them walked off and was back 2 minutes later with it in hand. The only thing I didn't like was a huge sticker on the tablet box with my information on it (see pic). I'm glad the purchase was for myself and not a gift because that wouldn't have gone over well. Make sure you purchase a screen protector and case for your tablet. I picked the foldable case with the Bluetooth keyboard (see pic). I have now owned the tablet for 8 months and have never had any issues. Well there was a small issue when I noticed the cord that came with it was a USB Type-C on both ends. I bought a power block and it charges so much faster than the S7 that came with the block and USB to Type-C cord. It performs flawlessly and has never lagged. For reference, my kids have at least 20 games downloaded and I have photos, emails, countless saved documents (as my son does school from home), youtube, and about 12 video streaming apps and countless other apps and I haven't come close to running out of storage or had to close apps running in the background. It's faster, louder, and brighter then any other phone or tablet I've owned. My friends and family are amazed with it when they watch something on it. I think the S-pen is a nice bonus and I mess around with it from time to time. I really enjoy when I hook the keyboard to it and it works just like a desktop. I'm clumsy with a touchscreen so typing with the keyboard is so much faster (see pic). I also own the Samsung S7 tablet so I can compare them. My daughter uses the S7 daily (see pic). It's perfect for her but I notice the S8 is faster, the S-pen works better, and the speakers sound better. I do want to say, we've never had an issue with the S7. If it weren't for my daughter begging to have her own tablet I would've still been using the S7 and I was content with it. If you are wanting to purchase one of the ones I mentioned, definitely get the S8 because Samsung will not have any OS updates after this year for the S7. The S8 is supposed to receive OS updates until 2026. So that's the biggest deal breaker along with the other things I've stated!!

I bought the Samsung Tab S8 from Best Buy a few weeks ago and I’m very happy with my purchase. This tablet is a great device for work, entertainment, and creativity. It has a beautiful 11-inch screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and a long-lasting battery. It also comes with the S Pen stylus, which is very responsive and useful for writing, drawing, and editing.

I upgraded from a Galaxy Tab A Series that I bought in 2020. I wanted a tablet that was larger with an S-pen and I wanted specs similar or better than my Note 20 Ultra. This tablet does not disappoint. It is so quick and responsive. Multiple apps/games open at once with no lag. Amazing screen quality and overall design. I recommend getting a case that secures the S-pen though, since it just attaches magnetically to the back or side and can be knocked off pretty easily.

I've been absolutely thrilled with my Samsung Galaxy S8 tablet! Its sleek design and vibrant display make it a pleasure to use for both work and entertainment. The processing power and speed ensure smooth multitasking and app performance. The battery life has been impressive, lasting me through long days of use without any worries. The S Pen functionality adds an extra layer of versatility, allowing me to take notes and create with precision. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S8 tablet has exceeded my expectations and has become an indispensable tool in my daily life.

I have been trying to make my digital inking dreams come true since I bought my first convertible Fujitsu lifebook laptop/tablet in 2002. This device is the first one to make me feel like I could have all the things I wanted(great performance, excellent input response, excellent screen, and recently Android OS). It is a near perfect device for me. It has a gorgeous screen(though not OLED) which has a high refresh rate and is super responsive to both touch and pen input. It's not technically the lowest inking latency available but it's so good and responsive that I can't really notice a difference (say between this and an iPad pro) unless I look real hard. I prefer the Android OS though obviously iPads are fantastic products as well so I feel like I have to compare the two a little. The UI performance is on par with or better than iPad(every bit as smooth and sometimes slightly faster). App performance is awesome though I don't encode video or do many things for which an iPad would likely have a computational advantage. Battery life is plenty good enough for me, but not as good as an iPad would be. Game controller latency seems low with my preferred controller same as an iPad. iPad comparison over. I like Dex and it really shines for me when I am playing around in Godot4 game creation tool/IDE. This is the first tablet device which I want to use every day for work and for fun. I can take notes at work, read books and comics, watch tv/movies and play games and mess around with making games and everything works smoothly. Multitasking works very well and it's trivial open a web page or video and take notes at the same time.

You can describe it in 2 words... "Simple Awesome"...

Can't remember 100% when I bought it, but I wanted to give it sometime before I did this. I'll be honest, I don't use it all that much. I use it every other weekend, as I imported my dnd character sheets to it so I could use the pen and make a digital journal of the games as they progress. I do play a few ges on it from time to time, and it works flawlessly. In the few months I've had it, I've only charged it 4 times. Battery life at idle is amazing. Would 100% buy again, if not the tab8 then the 8plus for sure. Now If you're wondering if you should buy over apple ipads, my answer is yes. Apple anything is trash.

My iPad Air 4 kept crashing on me after the warranty for it ran out. Out of frustation I decided to sell it and used the money for it towards buying this tablet, and I'm pretty satisfied by it so far! I'm an artist, so the S-Pen feels really satisfying to use when I use it to draw in Clip Studio Paint. I've only had it for about a month, so I am still getting used to the controls and optimizing it. But so far I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Hopefully I will not have the same issue after having this for a year! I'm never picking up an apple product ever again.

Awesome Android tablet. If you are looking for a perfect sized, beautiful screen, powerful tablet for emulation then look no further. This tablet is great for many other things like playing Android games, watching movies, light weight work, etc. If you can catch this tablet on sale then jump on it.

If you're in need of a tablet, this is a must-have! It's very easy to navigate. Download what you need or want. Great for everyday use for business or pleasure! It's great for any age, and the keyboard works perfectly with it. (Sold-separately)

Love the tablet, light weight and essy to set up and take on the go. I purchased the cover with the key board and it functions just like a laptop. It has Microsoft 360 which is an added plus, I can actually use it for work.

I bought this tablet as a gift, and the recipient loves it. Good size screen at about 11 inches. Fast and responsive, as qell as a great battery life. I would definitely recomend.

I use this for school, I really like the what the S pen works. I have been looking for a tablet I can use to take note and this works well for me. You can also have multiple apps open at a time/split screen. So I can see the lecture slides and my notes on one screen

This is my 3rd Samsung tablet. My last one was 5 years old. They last forever! The screen is so vivid on this latest purchase. It is fast too. It is a great size for me. I am 71 years old and use it every day for social media emails and texting. I can even make and receive phone calls on it through my phone. Love it.

I love this!!! This is my first ever tablet and i love it! I am very glad i don't have to have a phone line hooked to it! This is super easy to use.

Best Tam Ever... pixels al awesome i used mostly for netflix and works great. The battery life is amazin btw charge super fast, even with a regular charger

Upgrades from an S3 tablet. This one is super fast, great display, huge amount of storage space. Excelent battery life

I love the tablet. It’s nice and fast and it’s beautiful. I was a little bummed on the scratches on the back. It looks as if it were used previously. Luckily they are small. But I paid for a brand new one. Not a used one. That’s the only reason it’s getting a 4 star rating. Otherwise I absolutely love it.

Really good and very helpful for my studies. And great for drawing sketches

It is in good condition and runs perfectly. I love the pen that comes with the Tab S8, so it is so convenient.
