Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This is my first tablet. (I am a laptop man). I needed mobility when "mostly" working out and got tired of dragging my expensive laptop around. I had to have a keyboard because I load data as I train. And, I can use it to film training sessions. I like it . I am still getting it totally set up. (mostly files, apps, bookmarks and passwords, etc), but what is new with tech. I am already eyeballing the next version. And, as usual, Best Buy was seamless and helpful during the purchase.

Great take along for reading, playing games, making notes, just about anything you want to do. Versatile and easy to use.

Had bought for my kids but became mine instead. Good for pretty much everything you use a phone for without the phone.

Good speakers, excellent screen. This was a Mother's Day gift for my wife, and I wish the controls were more intuitive for her - she used the tablet to listen to concerts and watch theatrical productions. Nevertheless, she is happy with it

I love my tab S8. It outshined my former S5E in every way so much faster on download speeds for movies and all around better experience. I also added a paper feel antiglare screen protector which works great. Coming the Nintendo switch on the tablet with the shadowcast and covert dock makes this the best gaming screen ever.

The s8 tablet is an amazing tool great with the 23 ultra i use it both for work and leisure

I Love this tablet! Its fast & easy to use. The picture quality is amazing!

Love my new galaxy s8 tab. Been creating a lot of art with it and works great on speed.

Easy to operate takes great photos. Perfect size for doing my morning utube exercising

Love love it. Its exactly what I was looking for. Great screen

Really good, works fast and does what is needed for my job

Good budget friendly tab for students with its 11" screen which comes plenty handy when note taking or media consumption.

Very good tablet! The only problem is the S Pen, the tip just lasted four days and it doesn't come with extra supply. Samsung doesn't sell OEM tips for the S Pen.

A fantastic piece of tech. It's going to take me days to even comprehend everything I can do with this gorgeous tablet. I received mine at a discount through Best Buy's open box thing. It said excellent condition and it is flawless.

Compare this to my wifes S8+ makes this feel like for simple use not everyday day use the size is just right for simple its not to heave to wear around with a sholder strap but also easy to work with while moving just the bigger screen gives more to give to me honestly in terms of work comfortably to enjoy.

The Galaxy Tab S series of tablets are Samsung’s flagship tablets renowned for top notch performance. With vibration abilities, compass, surface level, S Pen and a snappy Snapdragon processor, many will appreciate the value of the Tab S8; delivered at a measly 1.10 lbs. Following the current trend of very minimalistic packaging, the contents on the drastically reduced packaging box size are essentially 5 (five) items: USB-C data/charge cable • Galaxy Tab S8 • S Pen • Ejector Pin • Quick Start Guide You certainly get what you paid for in terms of hardware when dealing with the Galaxy Tab S series. My aluminum encased Tab S8 incorporates an Octa Core Snapdragon Gen 1 processor, configured with 128GB of internal memory, 8 GB RAM and an 8000mAh battery. The battery is capable of Samsung’s Super Fast Charging technology with a 45W charger. Samsung offers this as an optional accessory but once you have tried it, it becomes clear it is very essential. A full charge lasts over a day with moderate binging in my experience. MicroSDs up to 1 TB can be used to expand storage when needed. Four (4) AKG Stereo speakers featuring Dolby Atmos, evenly split between the top and bottom of the tablet deliver a rather immersive experience. The display is a 120 Hz, 11 inch TFT LCD display capable of 2560 x 1600 resolution. Having previously owned a Galaxy Tab S6, I have come to prefer the LCD display over the Super AMOLED version. It is a personal choice due to the color production being not as oversaturated as the latter. I miss out on the darker blacks and better battery life but it is a fair trade off for my purposes. The device runs Android 12 out of the box along with Samsung’s One UI version 4.1; it could potentially receive updates to Android 16. For connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax standard radio is onboard. Bluetooth version 5.2 also helps quick connectivity with the Samsung ecosystem. The convenience of automatically pausing your tablet so you can answer a call on your phone and then resuming the tablet once completed is priceless in my opinion. With compatible handsets, calls and text messages can be received on the tablet. The Galaxy Tab S8 ports a 12MP ultrawide camera in the front and a 13MP autofocus, 6MP ultrawide array in the rear. For dark environments, a flash is provided. Pictures are decent but I will be sticking with my Note as that has a more formidable array of lenses. The flash doubles as a flash light via the Edge Panel utility. There is no NFC on the Galaxy Tab S8. In other tablets I have previously owned, NFC helped facilitate quick pairing with compatible Bluetooth enabled devices. Unlike the Tab S8 Plus or the Tab S8 Ultra, the fingerprint reader is embedded in the power button. In my experience, it is more reliable compared to the ultrasonic variant located under the display of my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. It could be due to the fact that the smartphone display probably gets dirtier/oily compared to the power button on the tablet. Face recognition is another biometric security feature. The Tab S8 ships with the S Pen that all fans of he Note series have come to consider highly invaluable. Latency is now at the lowest level to create a truly enjoyable experience scribbling on the tablet. Its features have evolved over the years and can currently perform the following tasks: • Help clip text and images from apps • Take notes and convert to text • Perform translations • Capture pictures, control music For storage, the S Pen attaches magnetically to the rear of the tablet in a very specific orientation (nib towards camera array. It gets charged by the tablet in the process. As tablets and smartphones have evolved, the laptop has been relegated. I primarily perform about 80 percent of tasks via my smartphone (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G). For streaming purposes (audio and video), I rely on the Tab S8. Microsoft Office is available for free on tablets 10.1 inches or smaller and as such the Tab S8 requires a subscription in order to use. I have never been a fan of the Samsung DeX feature. I prefer to keep the desktop and tablet experience separate. For gaming, Asphalt 9 handles very well with no lag. For the next iteration, NFC would be very much welcome. Although everyone appreciates going Green, including a charger adapter would go a long way to win converts to the brand, especially as every other manufacturer appears to be shipping without them too. I believe my Tab S6 shipped with replacement nibs for the S Pen. I commend Samsung for the very sleek formfactor and shape. It also appears to be the same size as its predecessor implying cases could be reused if upgrading from the Tab S7. This could also be a nod to their Green initiative; way to go Samsung.

As tablets go, this is my first one. Great device to do all the things you would need to in a laptop. Good power. Love the stylus pen.

Great tablet i bought this for my wife to do nursing school and my baby completely took over. Best of both worlds simple but powerful.

Love everything about it. Pen functions. Picture quality- great!
