Extra Large & In Charge
There are not a lot of options if you want a plus-sized tablet & this one is pretty easy to recommend. Yes, the dimensions are pretty big but at least it is not very thick & heavy. The OLED screen is probably my favorite feature. Once you go (AM)OLED, it is hard to go back. This thing is fast and the battery lasts a long time. The camera is so-so but that is to be expected w/ tablets. I also have a ChromeBook tablet & I prefer the Android OS experience much better. It is more like my phone so easier to navigate. Giving this thing 4 stars because even tho this is last year's model & thus cheaper, it is still awfully expensive. Plus it did not come with a charger.

Samsung steps up the android tablet game.
This thing is a monster. It’s a beautiful machine with a lot of power. Not as fast as my iPad Pro (2022) but probably more versatile I’d say. It’s limited by android os imo. Dex mode is killer and the S pen is a little better than the Apple Pencil to me so far. Some apps don’t work seamlessly on this giant screen so hopefully developers will address this, but I’m not holding my breath. A handful of very good creative apps I’m currently using for drawing and music production work well on it. Of course, watching content on it is second to none. It’s a beauty overall.

I love this thing
I wanted a computer but dislike the way windows works. My fiancé purchased this for me as a nice Christmas surprise. Does everything I want. The large tablet gives me the ability to play games and not worry about mistakes pressing the wrong thing. The pen is wonderful and works great as a remote as well. We got the Samsung keyboard for it as well. Such a perfect pair. Remote play lets us play our favorites and it looks amazing with the oled screen. Watching shows on it like Arrow and The Flash give you the best picture I have seen in something so affordable. Saw new people and all the dark spots in shows lile The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The feel of the tablet is unexpected. I thought it would feel flimsy or like it could break but it feels solid. Plus it's pretty light. I am definitely suggesting one to my dad to get my mom. She has bad eyes and this would allow her to play the card games she wants without needing a magnifying glass.

Great Drawing Experience/ Wish it had more Art app
I purchased the S8 Ultra mainly to use for its digital art capabilities given its larger screen than my iPad. I loved my experience drawing with the S-pen and how fine it wrote on the screen. The overall user interface/ experience was a bit clunky and not as smooth as my iPad. I really wish developers targeted more illustration/animation apps for the S8 and 9 rather than making them exclusive to the iPad. If I had to pick one device to illustrate on I would choose the S8 Ultra over my iPad Pro because of the superior accuracy of the S-pen due to its fine tip compared to the rounded tip of the Apple Pencil.

Must Have!
Absolutely amazing tablet! Its fast and simple to use! I use it for everything. I love how big the screen is. I am able to easily have 2 apps open and go over the items on them, without having to zoom in. I definitely recommend.
