Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love drawing with this! The pen is nice - not too thick like typical drawing tablet pens and not too thin like Samsung's note pens. Im particular with pens and so the S pen on this tablet passes my test. The screen is huge which is great for a lot of things, and definitely for drawing! My one nitpick is that you cannot use finger touch and the S pen at the same time, so you have to consciously lift up the S pen every time you want to input touch from your hands. It was a little annoying at first since it slows down my workflow - I wanna be able to move my canvas around and actually use my hand AS im drawing! - but I got used to it quickly. As for other tasks, the tablet is incredible and has incredible performance. I love all the screen real estate and how powerful my tablet is! Ive attached an art piece I made using the tablet.

One of the best tablets I have ever had, I travel for work. And it's really good and high quality video. Help me to relax. I'm playing and in my rooms still a very good option, and it's august thirty first twenty twenty four

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is nothing short of a technological marvel, setting the bar impossibly high for premium Android tablets. As I embark on this review, it's crystal clear that this tablet deserves nothing less than a perfect 5-star rating. Design & Build (5/5): The Tab S8 Ultra boasts an elegant, premium design that's both sleek and sturdy. The ultra-slim bezels create an immersive viewing experience that rivals the best in the market. The build quality is impeccable, with a luxurious glass back and a reassuringly solid feel in hand. Display (5/5): The centerpiece of this tablet is undoubtedly its massive 14.6-inch Super AMOLED display. With a stunning 2960 x 1848 pixel resolution and HDR10+ support, this tablet delivers breathtaking visuals. Colors are vivid, contrast is exceptional, and the 120Hz refresh rate ensures silky-smooth scrolling and video playback. Performance (5/5): The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is an absolute powerhouse. Equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset and up to 16GB of RAM, it effortlessly handles multitasking, resource-intensive apps, and gaming with grace.

The combination of the stunning display and powerful hardware makes it a multimedia powerhouse.

Samsung has truly outdone themselves with this exceptional device.

As an owner of a 5th gen iPad Pro 12.9, I really wanted to try this tablet out, as I'm a fan of OLED and the extra size was appealing to me. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I am not the biggest fan of Android either. So here's an honest opinion of this tablet. First, let me say that this is one aspect where Android fans have been unable to compete with the larger iPad for several years now, but that changes with this tablet! THE GOOD * Size of the display * Contrast ratio * Free pen included * Performance is very good * Not directly controlled by Google * Good Battery Life * Dolby Atmos Support * Speakers are great * Gaming is Good THE BAD * Android's history of slowing down tech within 2 years * WiFi stays connected, but tells me there is no internet * Display isn't as bright as the iPad Pro 12.9 * Pen Docking Location isn't optimal * Google has very little respect for privacy * No Variable Refresh Rate SCREEN Obviously, looking at the display, the size of the screen and the contrast ratio are fantastic, there's very little more that needs to be said. The only disappointement is the lack of VRR technology as 120 Hz full time can create a drain on the battery and 60 Hz can create a weird scrolling affect for every day activities (this is something the iPad Pro has and does very well). PERFORMANCE The model I have is the 256 Gig with 12 Gigs of RAM and it performs very well without any real hitches as far as playing games, browsing the web, using apps, and the like. Watching movies is great and the aspect ratio of the screen really works well to complement the performance. Does it match the iPad for performance? No, but it really doesn't have to, as it really doesn't struggle anywhere either. Gaming gets a solid 60 FPS for the most part and day to day apps never slow down at all. SOUND The speakers are great and the addition of Dolby Atmos is great for movie watching. Music also comes through very clearly on the tablet and quite loud (I do not hear any benefit to the iPad Pro over these). NETWORK CONNECTIVITY This is honestly the most troubling aspect of the tablet... While the speed of the WiFi is great, the tablet occasionally decides that there's no path to the Internet, even though it shows that I'm connected to my WAP. This can be frustrating when you're watching a movie or video on YouTube and it just starts throttling. When you check the WiFi, you get the error message "Connected without Internet" and I think it might have something to do with the tablet's ability to work with mixed WPA2 / WPA3 autonegotiation that my router has built in. PRODUCTIVITY You get pretty much full access to Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, Powerpoint, and Teams if you have an Office 365 Subscription and the Dex desktop, makes the device much more like a desktop when paired with a bluetooth keyboard or Mouse. I could honestly see somebody using this as a laptop replacement for many of the tasks the average user does day to day. The biggest downside is that I could find no way to mirror the tablet to my PC monitor (maybe it is there, but I do not see it), but other than that it is a great mobile device. HARDWARE The iPad Pro is solid and thicker than the Samsung tablet, thanks to the extra layers required by the Mini-LED Display. The Samsung uses self illuminating pixels in the OLED Display, so it is considerably thinner than the iPad and while that's fantastic for use, I have flashbacks to the thinner, more pliable design of the 12.9" first gen iPad Pro and I could honestly see the Samsung Tablet bending as well, if you're not carefult. Another piece of hardware is the S-Pen vs the Pencil. The S-Pen is included with the Galaxy Tablet, where Apple will charge you an extra $129 for the Pencil. However, the S-Pen build quality is nowhere near that of the Pencil and the flexibility of the Pencil for angled drawing and generally for art work is better than the S-Pen. With that said, the S-Pen is very functional and does the job well for day to day note taking, drawing, or touching up photos and such, so don't take this as a negative for the tablet. STORAGE I wanted to mention this, because the Galaxy Tablet has the ability to extend the storage with an SDCard and the iPad has no easy way to do this without an awkward dongling hanging from the Thunderbolt Port. So it is possible to offload files temporarily on the iPad, but the Galaxy can have a permanently attached 1 TB SDCard inserted right into the tablet and that's a big plus. PORTS Well, there's no easy way to say this... Samsung went with USB-C and that might be why the external display thing is such an issues, where Apple went with Thunderbolt 3 and there's no contest between the two as the TB3 port is simply much faster and more flexible, even though they have the same connection, the hardware is very different. CHARGING Unfortunately, the Samsung chargint (with the same MBP Charger, I use for all my devices) will take about 2 hours to charge up to full, the iPad Pro is less than an Hour easy and that makes this tablet less flexible when you're on a tight schedule and have to be somewhere with a low on battery. OVERALL If I were in the android camp and looking for a good alternative for the iPad Pro 12.9", this is the tablet I would turn to, as it checks enough of the boxes that you just don't need to worry about anything else. It is a solid device with good quality and I have very few complaints about its day to day use.

This tablet is a beast, also i am currently typing this review on the very tablet I'm writing this review about. Anywho let me tell everyone who will read this. This tablet is the best android/samsung tablet i have ever owned and that's saying something because I've had many over the years. Definitely get this tablet if you want a large tablet that is super bright even when the brightness bar isn't even slid up to the halfway point, a tablet that has four loud speakers and i mean they make sure you can hear what you're looking at. Also the tablet is light and not heavy at all for how huge the screen is overall this tablet is an absolute unit, I've had no problems with it since I've purchased it. I definitely do not regret this purchase and if whoever is reading this decides to purchase this tablet i feel like they won't regret it either

If you want a compact tablet, this is not the item for you. If you want a powerful mobile tool for drawing/graphic design, note taking, multimedia, or other things that benefit from a big bright popping screen? This tablet is unbeatable. This won out in a head to head vs. an Ipad Pro and benefits from having all of the software accessibility of Android and the absolute maximum real estate you can get in a tablet design. The integrated magnetic keyboard case is great too and turns it into an honest to god full-fledged 15" Chromebook. As you might expect, the battery life is not the top of the line but it's more than respectable considering the amount of screen it has to power. The tablet build is nice and probably quite sturdy but I marked 4/5 Durability because it certainly feels like it needs at least some kind of protective case, and at this price point we're not going to test that theory! The display is the draw and it is otherwise almost identical to the smaller 12.x" design. Playing a mobile game on this thing felt like playing on a full-blown laptop PC.

Great piece of tech. Best battery life on a mobile device. BEAUTIFUL 14 inch OLED screen. Great S pen intergeration. This is thin and looks cutting edge. Downside is this this NEEDS to be on a surface to use. Your hands will get tired.

This tablet is huge! It's a little cumbersome to carry but its screen is mesmerizing. 256GB seems like a healthy amount of space for dozens of games, thousands of pictures, and hundreds of songs. However, I may get an SD card in the future if I run out of space. A keyboard and mouse practically turns this into an android laptop. The S pen is smooth and draws perfectly with no lag. I found the official Samsung accessories to be overpriced, but there's plenty of unofficial ones out there and many compatible bluetooth accesories. I currently love gaming on it with a PS5 controller with bluetooth earbuds. I think I would have been slightly happier with the smaller Tab S8 Plus due to its portability, but it's amazing having such a big, beautiful screen on the Ultra.

I purchased this tablet as a replacement for my 10in Apple ipad but i was pleasantly surprised by the speed and the size of this tablet first of all it's massive at a Wapping 14in And the storage can hold up to a terabyte. I mean, that's crazy. The price is way more economical than the apple ipad and the size I love it!!!!!!!

This is hands down the Best Android tablet available on the market. The 14.6 inch screen is amazing, and the performance is superb. If you get the Book Cover Keyboard it's a genuine laptop replacement.

Great Tablet. By far. Dynamic Screen with Extraordinary HiRes. Huge 14". Fast & Speedy with 12 GB RAM. Whole lot of memory (expandable to 1 TB, external Micro SD). Great price. FAST charging with Samsung 25W charger. Full charge last longest till, needed to be charge again.

Such a Powerhouse. I love the Spen, I use it all the time for my table and I use the notes all the time to draw and take important notes down for later use. It has a beautiful design, sleek, and firm. I love the battery and I got me a military protective case for it which it has a stand so I can watch important videos.

Very very impressed with my purchase. I bought the tablet with the intention of using it as extra storage only for my video edits and artwork and ended up using it full time now, even more than my own phone. The camers quality is outstanding, the display is very clear and bright with 4k viewing, smooth and very fast response with the extra touch sensitivity option, and the connection between samsung and android products is crazy fast and responsive. 10/10 i highly recommend this item

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.

It works great, it's a good size similar to a mini laptop... It's perfect.

Best tablet ever! OLED Screen super thin and large. Blows the doors off of Ipads!

I highly recommend this product for sheet music viewing/storage. I primarily bought it after my Samsung 12.2 pro broke that I had been using for sheet music also. The multi-window & split-window view feature works great to have 2 or more windows of different apps viewable at same time.

I absolutely love this device. Its large screen makes watching movies very pleasant and the quality of the video are a 10/10

This is by far the most powerful tablet I have owned. Cons - it is expensive! It is great for work or play. Its S Pen, powerful chipset and good-looking screen. I got the case for it right away because it feels a little fragile. I totally recommend it.

One of the best tablets I have bought so far. I can do all that I need to be done on it .
