I've had my S8U also since it came out, and I still love it. Works like new. Display is still gorgeous as ever. It's so good that I see no reason upgrading to the S9 or even the S10 that's coming out soon. I love, love, love my S8U

Thank you for giving the tabs 8, some love. Most of the youtubers give apple way too much credit and say this tab is a throw-away due to app skilling. They never touch on the things the device can do without the Play Store. Plus, dex is a way the device can last you longer because it works like a chromebook using the brower

Agree on the battery also! 🔋 It's also incredible how it doesn't drain at all overnight... very quiet. I'm guessing it will be a little bit like Newcastle on European nights

That's a great idea to feature people doing everyday jobs like engineering and planning and asking them how they utilize the device. Even to follow around a student at university would be very helpful to document. Thank you

I absolutely love my Tab S8 Ultra 512gb with keyboard cover...theres really no need for me to upgrade ..the new on is nice as well

Great video! Here's my review of the 16GB/522GB S8 Ultra. I got the 16GB RAM/512GB SSD S8 Ultra it was $517.59 from Samsung with a Tab S7+ Trade-In. They gave me $600 trade-in credit (my total cost from Samsung for the Tab S7+ was $531). I also got the Book Cover & the Rugged Stand cover free... The 14.6 Super AMOLED screen is amazing. S-Pen is the best stylus on any platform. Super fast processor. Speakers are fantastic with lots of bass - loud and clear, crisp highs. VERY impressive. The S-pen and it's low latency is spectacular. The super-amoled screen at 120 mHz is hard to tie, let alone beat... One of the GREATEST features of the Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is! The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil... I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT. If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500... But guess what, the Tab S8 Ultra supports HDR10+ and has a 120Hz refresh rate, so your covered. Best of luck with your decision.

Absolute beast! The tablet is great too 😅

This is a great video, I really enjoy hearing real world usages from real ppl, the kind of stuff I want to see before buying a new device.

I support you bro. I hope your channel does well. You do a really good job and you explain the utilization of the technology very well. God bless

Awesome review, thank you.

I've had the S8U since day one, it's been in my travel bag everyday using Gamepass and Playstation remote play is clutch for the device.

Great video, thanks very much. Will check out your other videos. New subscriber 😊

Hey mate really enjoying your channel and great to see an aussie presenter on here (Brisbane lad myself) I have been looking at the S9 Ultra but just found a good deal on the S8 Ultra and keyboard, do you think I am crazy getting it or would you wait and get the S9 Ultra? Just does not seem to be a huge difference that I will notice anyway. I am a tech gadget man myself. Keep up the good work your very easy to listen too.

Didn't know you shot these on the S23 Ultra, was a nice surprise and a great showcase of the ultras cameras. Big fan of these tablet devices with dex, was a big dex fan when it first launched as someone who is a big ChromeOS. Great review 😊

You have the Samsung Laptop. Where to buy in 🇦🇺 ?

Didn't the keyboard and kickstand come free with the Tab S8 Ultra at launch?

What keyboard are you using?

I’m a student who relies on digital note making while simultaneously watching classes online. I’m inclined towards s9 ultra over iPad Pro. I’m just concerned about how the snapdragon 8gen2 ages compared to the m2 pro. Any suggestions please?

Great vid! Quick question: Does the device get hot when you use it to write? I have experienced this with S7+ with just a few min of writing making it almost unusable.

It could be interesting to make a comparision with the new lenovo tab extreme 2023

Is the Book Cover Keyboard hinge still holdup? I'm thinking between S9+ or S9 ultra so thank you for long review

Do a dedicated Gaming on tab S8 Video 🙏🏻

I have the Tab S7+ but thinking about getting the S8Ultra or S9Ultra. My current line up is the Galaxy Tab S7+, Galaxy Watch 4 (Watch 6 Classic on preorder), Galaxy Buds 2 and Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Book2 Pro 360, S23ULTRA, Fold 3 (Fold 5 on preorder)

The biggest issue with the taskbar vs. DeX is that app windows don't minimize to the taskbar like they do in DeX. It makes for a disjointed UI that falls apart quite quickly. For this reason I really want DeX on my Fold.

Im starting school soon and eyeing the s8+ 5g from T-Mobile. Do you know if the chip used is different than regular s8+?

I know this isn't for the phones, but I want a question answered and I can never find it online anywhere. My girlfriend has an iPhone 14 pro max, and I have an s22 ultra. I've noticed that her apps especially social media ones like tiktok use the whole screen all the way to the top, around the dynamic island (meaning it's using all the pixles to show content). My s22 always has the black notification bar on these apps active so the whole screen isn't being used. It's bothering me because when I watch KZfaq in full screen it does use the whole screen, the hole punch is the only part blackened. Is there a way to customize my notification bar to show content like KZfaq full screen does? My settings to hide camera or show it does not do it for all apps. Thanks!

Whats your opinion, should I pick up the s8ultra 12g 256gb that's going for $1400 at the moment, or wait for s9ultra? Do you think they'll release it in a couple weeks at the event?

looking for nice size to use for tiktop viewing? which is better? S8 plus or S8 Ultra? currently have Mipad Pro 11inch, want to upgrade to bigger size. That tablet is for media consumption only as already have 14inch Macbook Pro

I would think Samsung notes is a lifesaver for you guys. It offers so much more than keep notes from Google

I have the tab s8 ultra with 16gb of ram and 512gb internal storage and that thing is faster than my s22 ultra.

I love my tab s8 ultra. ✌️

which note-taking app on Android is a direct competitor and as good as good notes on ios?

How does samsung laptop fit in the "ecosystem"... Can it be compared to apple? I know MS made a lot with PC/smartphone connection/integration, and samsung did too, but how much additional software is needed and how does it integrate, is it seamless or are there multiple stages of configuration/debugging before it works, and does it work 100& out-of-the-box?

Anybody know if this or new s9's support 4k externals, either in standard or DEX?

The tablet s9 ultra looks alot brighter than the s8 ultra and does the s8 ultra over heating issues

I am hoping you are able to answer my question. I am a data analyst. More specifically I am a geospatial data analyst. To do my job I use some tools that require me to work in a Windows environment and on some pretty beefy machines. It is because of this I have not purchased a Tab S 8, and now 9, Ultra. This past year however I have been working on a Windows 11 Virtual Machine. It all of a sudden dawned on me… Could I just run a Virtual Machine on the Tab S9 Ultra? I could literally have the best of both worlds. I could run a full-blown desktop version of Excel, SQL Server, QGIS, NODE, Python, etc on the Virtual Machine and then have all my media content experience on the Android tablet. Do you think this would work? What would the down sides be?

I love my S8 Ultra. I’ve got fingers crossed for the S9 Ultra to have LTE built in. That’s the only missing feature in my opinion.

Do you ever worry about the data that Samsung collects on you?

If apps arent optimized there is no point

Owning an ultra phone AND ultra tablet seems like a tremendous waste, anyone making a battery powered touchscreen that can function as a dex screen/tablet for your ultra phone? Battery powered and minimal onboard processing would be the killer feature

They could've fitted a 14000mAh battery. They could seal the air gap in the display, which wouldn't make this reflective and look cheap.

Why everyone talks only about ultra? It is to big

Tab s9 is here so s8 is useless

Terrible ,just terrible !
