I was very pleased with my purchase. I brought an open box item but everything was like new. I highly recommend purchasing an open box item in excellent condition to save money.

I bought this to replace an older iPad Pro 12.9 inch. I am impressed with the performance and screen but the Samsung Android OS is just not my cup of tea. Settings are way too complicated and buried so deep. Simple operations are not logical and just confusing.
As far as performance, the screen looks great, video and multi-media are a joy to watch. The display can be set to 120Hz for fast refresh rates and very smooth video. The sound is good, but my 1st generation iPad Pro sounded better. It fits perfectly in my stand and is great for watching TV or streaming on the patio. WiFi is fast and the processor is snappy. The screen also clean up easily and very nicely
I cannot justify the high price for the very clumsy Android OS and the battery life. I got all day use out of my iPad Pro, I get 4-5 hours from this tablet. Charging is fast, and battery life is short.
I give this tablet 3 stars for the high price, clumsy OS, short battery life lack of a charger. Yes, you have to purchase a USB C Charger separately.

This tablet has exceeded all of my expectations. I really wish samsung would make a keyboard like apples because the keyboard that they offer for 350 bucks is flimsy and not very durable. Mine has started to curve from sitting in my lap. but 8 out of 10 for this tablet!

Im blown away at the sheer size of this tablet, it is big and fast. It handles everything I do on it with ease. Everything from editing photos and videos, to streaming and bames. The SD 8 gen 1 processor is a beast. I highly reccomend getting a good glass screen protector and a caseas well, rugged cases still arent available yet, trust me Ive contacted all the usual manufacturers.
If you enjoy a true pen like experience this wont disappoint, its like using a real pen. My previous tablet is a Tab S6 and this dwarfs it substantially. Surprisingly unlike samsungs newest S22 phone line these new S8 tablets all have micro sd card slots for expandable storage. I put my old 256gb micro sd card from my Tab S6, without any issues. So now I have a total of 512gb of storage with both the built in storage and my micro sd card being 256gb.
The screen on this S8 Ultra looks beautiful and can get really bright, looks great when viewing pictures and movies. The thickness of this is insanely thin to me, so thin that a good drop imo would seriously damage the tablet. The battery provides me nearly allday usage and using my samsung 25w charging brick charges this up pretty fast. Im currently using a Asus wifi 6 router and have not had any wifi connection issues with this tablet whatsoever.
Everything on this tablet takes some getting used to especially typing as its just so big, which isnt a bad thing just takes getting used to. The speakers sound incredible for a tablet, whether your listening to music or a show or even instagram clips. Im not big on photography with a tablet but I do like that this has dual cameras on both front and rear as well as a rear flash. Which for the price point of these new Tab S8 tablets they should.
I was able to swap over everything from my Tab S6 to this Tab S8 Ultra using the included usb c cable and samsungs smart switch, which took about 15 minutes to complete. I like the newer fingerprint scanner on this S8 line as it recognized my fingerprint more on the 1st try with a glass screen protector and screen sensitivity turned on, then my Tab S6 ever did in the 3 years Ive owned it.
I absolutely love everything this tablet has to offer with no cons in my opinion whatsoever other than its just plain big. Which isnt a con, Just coming from the Tab S6 which has a 10.4" screen will take some more time to get used to this Ultra's 14.25" screen. I highly recommend this baby if your on the fence!

Holding/Using this Tablet makes me feel like Im in Victorious with the huge Pear pad lol. I love it, but what I dont love is the case options for it, so my suggestion would be to look at the accessories you would be needing before you purchase this. The Case is not good.

This tablet is amazing. It's fast like my Samsung phone and does not easily crack if you drop it. I've had this for a few months now and it's still in great condition. It's perfwct for kids! Make sure you get a case and screen protector. They're required for children!

I like the Tab Ultra but I was looking for something like a chrome book. The Tab delivers in many ways, but it just isn't what I'd hoped. I can't download specific applications and I was also hoping for a way to transfer everything from my old computer. Since it doesn't have Windows I'm still stuck. This is a great Tablet for drawing(penup is a great app), watching videos and if you are a gamer. It's a superior coice over kindle.
