Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Galaxy Tab S8's large screen size, the included S-Pen, and its long battery life. Many also appreciate its ease of use and performance. While some find the price high and the lack of a headphone jack inconvenient, the positive feedback on other features outweighs these concerns. The expandable storage is also a plus for many users.

    This tablet is very astatically pleasing. It has a sleek design and very light weight. The pen capabilities set this this tablet apart from other tablets I've owned in the past. There are a lot of things you can do and explore but google and youtube offer some great videos to learn more about the settings. I use this table for keeping track of task, for home life and for work. I also, use it for playing games, and coloring.

    I use this for Nursing School by taking notes, editing PDF files, and apps for school as well. I cannot express how happy I am with this product by Samsung. Don't let the non OLED be the reason NOT to buy this, it still looks great, you cant tell at all. Also, it comes with a stylus pen, I cannot complain about that. Battery life is great, I barely have to charge it (I dont play games on it). Overall, its a great purchase if you need it for school. I cannot speak on the entertainment wise, the most I use it for it youtube and apps thats about it

    Amazing tablet, loaded with features and the android platform is easy to use. Got this for my daughter and setting up parental controls were a breeze. I get pinged for every download and can monitor activity. Samsung Dex is great as well. Using Xbox game pass cloud gaming on it is a plus! Battery life is great and even has battery protection to extend battery longevity. Definitely a good purchase and I'm glad we swapped to this and retired the ipad.

    Amazing tablet for the money. Coming from a former iPad user, I will never purchase another iPad if Samsung keeps making great tablets. Android apps work fine and Samsung Dex is actually really useful on a tablet screen. Definitely get the keyboard case to to with it. I'm very impressed with this, so much so that I made the switch to using all Samsung products instead of Apple because of it.

    Got this to play Xbox game pass on a road trip. Does ok. Glitchy screen with battlefield 2042. Had it hardwired to the network with a cat 6 cable which helped tremendously, but still glitchy. Good for games with slow paced graphics. I ended up buying a $1k ASUS Tuff A15 gaming laptop which plays BF2042 flawlessly. Should have bought it to begin with. The tab is a nice unit. I like the bigger screen than my note10 which is synced to it. It's great for streaming on the road.

    I bought this tablet to help with feeling frustrated about not being able to practice drawing anywhere I want to. And so far, its drawing functionality does not disappoint. I tested out a few other competitive tablets, such as several of the current Apple tablet lines, and Microsoft surfaces, and a few other off-brands from Lenovo, etc, available in-store. I was impressed by its drawing capabilities and its competitive price point. It's much more economical since it includes a pen and I don't need to buy another pen for an extra $100 and I have drawn with it almost everyday since May of 2023. It has other nice features, I will list in pros. I really like Clip Studio Paint on it, and they've made it pretty convenient. I did have Clip studio already on my desktop and hoped that it would be able to be a cross between. However, the trial ended, and I was thinking about my options. But I ended up buying Infinite Painter, which is very similar to the ipad preferred software, procreate. But I don't believe in paying much more, plus, I used to have a ipad 2nd gen. And a lot of people say their Apple products last for decades, not this one. After they stopped sending updates, the ipad is still usable but extremely slow and unusable. This is why I went with Android. Pros: -Price point -Includes pen -Is able to use Dex/PC hookup -USB-C, port can be turned into a hub for more USB, HDMI, extenstions, etc. -Can be turned into a mini portable laptop with a bluetooth keyboard. - Cons: -Battery life drains within 1.5 days -Issues with bluetooth connectivity and pen connectivity for the last 6 months. -Contacting customer service through tablet support is very confusing, I wish they made it easier -Back camera is very meh, but I didn't buy it for the cameras, so this is a neutral for me personally. Ultimately, I do recommend it, but that battery life really needs to be fixed. Its a big con for me, because there are some days, I have no time to even touch the tablet and still it drains to zero? What is it doing in the background to be constantly draining battery? It makes me question Samsung and whether or not they steal data while I'm sleeping. Also, if they are taking in data, why isn't the pen connectivity fixed yet? For 5 months, my notifications keeps saying it can't find the pen, even though the pen does have battery and is connected. There's only so many times I can take the pen off, and put it back on the magnetized slot. If this tablet does break down, will I search for another brand to replace it? Absolutely. But for now, I have it and I'm going to use it until it dies. And it does what I need it to: draw anywhere I want.

    I had the same Samsung S2 that was old even when I bought it and this is definitely a massive improvement, the battery life is quite good, I forgot to charge it for two days and when I came back it was still at like 82%. My one criticism is that the size and dimensions can make it a little unwieldy at times but that is also what I asked for

    If you want an Android tablet with stylus capabilities, Samsung is the clear leader. Great user experience with fantastic software to compliment excellent hardware. Ive used both the 12.4 inch size and I prefer this 11 inch size more - it's lighter and easier to handle in portrait mode. If you plan to use it like that, the 11 inch is the way to go.

    Amazing tablet that has withstood the testament of time and intensive use thus far with no performance drop since day one of use. Would recommend if you are in the market for a tablet and double recommend if you use Samsung products.
