I'm a huge fan of the Tab S7+. Before, all Android tablets were less than 11 inches diagonally. For my aging eyes, this was just slightly too small for reading small text in e-textbooks, PDF files, and digital comics without a lot of pinching and zooming. All that pinching and zooming while trying to read an e-textbook while using an elliptical machine at the gym was really cumbersome. I was seriously thinking about getting the iPad Pro even though I left Apple's "walled garden" in disgust back in the days of MacOS 9.x (long before MacOS X, much less iPhones, iPads, etc.). While I was still mulling this over, the Tab S7 series was announced, so I bought the S7+. I don't regret it in the slightest. The Tab S7+ is amazing at rendering small text in a way that even my aging eyes can handle. It's been a dream. What you get out of these tablets really depends on what you're doing with it. I'm reading e-books, e-textbooks, social media, watching RUclips, and watching Netflix. At some point, I'm probably going back to school, where I had a great time using the Galaxy Tab S5e as a laptop replacement. I imagine the Tab S7+ will be even better. Bear in mind, I do not use the official cases (bad past experience with the lack of protection on Samsung official cases), so the size of the tablet does not affect my typing experience. I use a protective case with a built-in kickstand and a sensible Bluetooth keyboard (the Logitech K380) when I want to use it as a laptop replacement. I don't bother using Dex for this as I'm generally using one app at a time, and most note-taking apps look great on an Android tablet (unlike some other Android apps that don't make use of screen real estate very well). If you're interested in a laptop replacement, there are a few things that Android can't do. For example, the Android version of OneNote doesn't have that nice equation editor that the Windows version has. Both MS Office and Google Sheets/Docs/etc work really well on Android, and as a nice bonus, Android tablets have a lot more battery life than Windows laptop. This is especially useful if you're using it as a laptop replacement to take notes in class. The weight of the Tab S7+ is right at the edge of what I can comfortably hold in one hand while curled up on the couch for long periods of time. If it weren't for the small text issue, I would probably prefer the Tab S7/S8 vanilla version, as the smaller size makes it better for handheld use away from a table or desk. I'm guessing that the Tab S8 Ultra would be great for video conferencing and art, but would be strictly for desktop or tabletop use.
The Ultra was a great preorder. Ended up paying $750 for the 512 GB Ultra with the free Keyboard. Got $600 for my tab S7+ via trade-in which I nabbed for $450 on BF. Then the education discount also knocked some extra $$ some off.
I agree, most RUclipsrs don't understand this when they talk about the price, nobody is paying full piece for this thing. The ultra was cheaper than the s8+, I pre-ordered with an s22 ultra I was also buying for 25% off and I was also able to use $250 Samsung credit that comes with the s22 ultra on it + edu discount and the free keyboard. This worked out to $750 total for the 256gb/12gb ram model without any trade-in. This is by design, Samsung does this to make it seem like a good deal, the s8+ really only exists to make the ultra look like an unbelievable deal when you buy it for less than the s8+'s normal price and almost the s8's price but with a storage upgrade and keyboard on top of the upgrade the ultra is over the plus. So this guy's entire review is pretty much useless because he is using full retail prices to make the judgement which are not even remotely close to the real prices people are paying
I have the S8 Ultra and I most say... Its AMAZING in all the way of the word! Its like a portable monitor! But almost as thin as a leaf! So powerfull yet so stylish!
I went for the S8+ bc it’s basically the best of both of them. I like the display and it s still portative, replacing my laptop when i’m on the move. Great tab!!!
Ordered the S8+ 256gb as a replacement for my Tab A 10.1 that I bought in early 2017. My Tab A has been heavily used and has been great for its purpose. I travel for a living and mainly for streaming and downloading movies and videos. But it was time for an upgrade. I am a wildlife photographer (hobbyists) and I use Lightroom mobile on my note 20 ultra. Wanted to be able to use the S8+ for that also. Decided to go aftermarket keyboard for it and a separate case similar to my Tab A that allows me to hook it on the airplane seat in front of me! Now.... I am traveling in Canada and my S8+ was delivered yesterday at home so I am excited to get home!
@@joelqvisuals4578 sorry for the late reply. Size wise, I love it! Is perfect for what I am doing all around. I think the ultra would have been too big for my needs. But for you it may be okay. But the colors, the deep blacks and the resolution are phenomenal! I have the Sony a1 and this complements it well!
Glad seeing your channel is growing. Have been watching you for a while now and always thought that your content is underrated. I've already made a couple of purchases in large part thanks to your input.
They said the same about Samsungs Galaxy Note line. People just love to hate on Samsung, when they have proved time and time again to be way ahead of the curve
Wait what ordered my Tab S8 Ultra on the 9th before live stream and still waiting mine was delayed until April 1st still waiting on my red S22 Ultra too.
Those were the days when I paid around 300 bucks for my S2. Still using it often. Display (AMOLED) is still great. OK, no S-Pen support, but still: The prices for current tablets get wackier all the time.
Dude, this is honestly a great review, and still pretty relevant with the new S9 lineup released yesterday. This time however, we're talking almost same specs, including same AMOLED 2x 120hz displays across the board. So bigger is not better in this case. As an artist who only cares about the pen and the size, I think S9+ is most optimal, or even S9. Ultra is too big and defeats the purpose of feeling like a portable handheld sketchbook. We're also getting a standalone Creative S Pen, with replaceable nibs, higher tilt angles, and better grip, that's the real upgrade artists were hoping for along with a matte screen protector for that pen and pencil feel without worrying about natural nib wear.
I played with the Ultra at Best Buy. It is too big for a tablet, but with the keyboard to, as you said, replace a laptop it is very nice. I think for media digital arts people and artists in general it is probably nice to have the larger "canvas". The S8 was nice to hold. I'm still deciding between a Samsung model or an Ipad Pro. I have a newer MacBook air with the M1 and I have a Samsung style phone. The expandable storage and multitasking ability of the Samsung tablets is nice, but the simplicity of the Ipad is nice too. With the Ipad I would have to buy a pen for $100+.
I upgraded from the S7 tablet to the S8 ultra tablet. Great screen and features. After using it for 2 weeks for school, I find that it's too big for my applications. I already have a laptop, so now it feels like I have two. Next time I will stick with the smallest S Tablet for easier everday carrying.
Went to buy thr s8+ they messed up my order and were sold out. Got the s8 ultra with the keyboard cover for the same price. At my summer cabin and loving the ultra as a portable tv / streaming device :)
I pre-ordered the S8+ for HK$7788, roughly US$995. For that I got the 256GB version and the free keyboard cover. My only gripe with that is no choice of colours and missing out on a HK$250 credit due to many side items being out of stock.
I would get the tab S8 plus. I had the S7 and returned it for S7 plus 256gb. I have no regrets and love it. I will likely upgrade once the next version comes out or if the S8 goes on a crazy sale.
I upgraded my tab s7 to the tab s8 plus. I felt it gives you the best of both worlds with the amoled and smaller size compared to the ultra. Its been a beast for content consumption, gaming, and multitasking.
I pre-ordered the Ultra. I used my S7+ as a trade-in. I'm a Senior and need the extra real estate for my weary eyes. I use my tablet at least 5-6 hours a day. Mine is coming around the 12th of April. It originally showed the 29th of April. I checked it out this morning and now it's showing the 12th. I can't wait.
One thing to keep in mind with the fingerprint sensor placement: If you are using the vanilla Tab S7 or Tab S8, you are probably expecting to use it away from a desktop or tabletop, in which case, the lack of protection in the official cases is a potential problem. You're doing things that increase the chances of dropping the device, in which case you really should get a more protective case. One problem with this is that many of those more protective cases make the fingerprint sensor in the power button harder to access. I ran into this same issue with the Tab S5e.
All the cases I have bought for my Tab S7 & S8, which are 4 cases, have the hole for the fingerprint and all of them are easy to access. So it's nothing to worry about. Most companies do it right (the hole in the cases).
I'm glad I checked out your video. I was looking to get the plus or ultra because bigger is better right? But now, because I have a perfectly good laptop at home, and because I plan to use mine mostly for youtube and taking notes, I think the regular model should be just fine for me. I might jump to the plus, but I definitely think the ultra is more than what I'll ever need. Thanks!
Good summary. I have been deciding between all 3. One of the big factors is that Samsung will give £120 each for my two iPad Pro with white spot as trade ins (worthless elsewhere) and there are some decent discount codes. The key issue is stock of all the keyboard cases with trackpads as with the discount promo codes around as get one for very cheap when you buy them with the tablet. Got one S8 256Gb on the way with trackpad case for £585 thanks to trade ins and code.
I think S8+ for me. I've watched all your videos on these and at this point, although Samsung's tablets have advanced so far and are capable of replacing a true laptop, I think these devices still perform better as tablets. I would purchase primarily for the tablet usage as my priority, with capability to use it as a laptop alternative as a secondary purpose. S8 is a great tablet, but too small to use effectively as a laptop. S8 Ultra is a great size for a laptop and multitasking, but you compromise the portability and convenience of a tablet, AND it probably can't do the heavy lifting that a laptop can do. So S8+ is a good middle ground for me.
@i only attract to western girl I have one, it is really great. Haven't gotten my free keyboard yet. Been pumping out the work. I have some really good apps. Put a 512GB microSD card in there and got the 256GB model. So, I don't have to constantly transfer my content off the main internal storage, if, in a design flow. It's a multitasking and content creation beast. I never close programs, and split screen is very efficient. I don't use the Samsung Note app that much except on my phone. Don't like the way it handles a lot of notes. On the phone you don't notice it that much. Comes with Noteshelf. It's good for visual notes.
@i only attract to western girl no experience. I don't have any Samsung tablet. But I do have a 2-in-1 14 inch laptop. Not talking about the weight, but just the screen size is too big for me to use as a tablet. The laptop weight doesn't help either. So I'm not completely qualified to say much. Imo, if I were to get one tho, it'd be the S8+
Cool man. I just have 2 Questions: - How is the audio quality? (Like listening to music) - How is the experience with the keyboard? (Is it easy to type?) Would like a very short answer.
Moved from the S7 to the S8+. Still use them both. Was going to trade the S7 but it feels so good in the hands. Really like the S8+ been pumping out the work. I have some really good apps that utilize the screen size. Late at night I find the S7 is easier on my eyes, if not using my laptop. I don't like a lot of light going into my eyes if I am really tired. The ultra was unnecessary because I have a 360, I, use and love, I can flip into any mode. So, an unnecessary duplication. Bottom line is you can't go wrong. But, first, identify your usage needs.
Thanks, I appreciate this video! At a time when there are some nice older IPads, but you are used to using the Galaxy phones, this really helps me to compare the right one to IPads. I love all the creative functions with Galaxy phones and watches, but I'm now into what gives me a larger screen for editing videos, reading, and Craft sofware, as well as geeking out!
The ultra has significantly less bezzels in a much larger surface, combined with an extremely thin format; that really needs an upper level of engineering to maintain the robustness. That's why it's so expensive. In the inside, it's not nearly the same as the other two.
Was waiting for your video and finally!! Sadly pre orders have ended and free keyboard cover offer with S8 tabs is gone. But I never buy Samsung stuff without your testing bro. Is it safe to buy ultra plz tell? I want a tab for making notes on OneNote, media consumption and gaming. This or M1 iPad Pro. Ecosystem/Price no bar..
If you want it primarily for notes taking then I would say that spen is way better for that. It feels like a real pen instead of a plastic hitting a glass in case of ipads.
You should have just pre order it and return it later on once you watch reviews.Mine hasn't even shipped yet so i got plenty of time to know if it's worth it or not
At this point, I can't really imagine you'd get too far trying to replace a laptop with an Android tablet. In some ways, yes. In many ways, no you just can't unless your work is mostly web based and even then it could be problematic depending on the web application.
Depends on your use case. If Samsung can continue to get editing apps for the tab line. It could be competitive with hybrids like the surface and definitely be upgrades compared to chromebooks
I don't need a replacement laptop and mostly will just use my new tablet for occasional RUclips videos and recipes in OneNote. I definitely won't get the Ultra and right now am leaning toward the 11 inch S8. I already have a bluetooth keyboard so I'll just get a thin TPU case and use my sturdy tablet stand. I'll probably play some games on it when I'm in a recliner so the smaller, lighter tablet would be better for that. Thank you for making this informative video. :)
Apologies in advance for the non related content comment. I just found your channel and had to do a double take as you sound and look like the minamalist Nate O'Brien( I have been following for years). I'm guessing he is your brother or close relative.
Agreed, I hate fingerprints on my screen when watching stuff so use the s pen to navigate, having to leave a big thumbprint on my screen every time I open it is annoying. Certainly not a big enough drawback to downgrade to a smaller size though
All the s8 have "Center Stage", I own the s8 and it has it. S8 and S8+ only have a ultra wide and just use that. Also the S8 is 749€ in Germany, the same price as an ipad mini 64gb, with pen and case. And I ordered the s8 with a free slim keyboard cover so it's a very good deal.
@i only attract to western girl with Trad ein of a Huawai P10 Lite (210€ trade in, phone worth maybe 50€ 10% discount for pre-order Pre order voucher for a free add on I got the Tab S8 + with the keyboard slim and the book cover keyboard for 665€ I sold the slim cover for 80€ so I got the tab s8+ für 585€ only.
Upgraded from Tab s7 to s8, nothing much difference but performance improvement is noticeable, since I play fortnite and apex legends, both are bit graphical advance games, it's good but still not optimised well enough as they are new tablets in the market ! But for my note taking it's too good and improvement from tab s7 's pen is noticeable as it feels natural
Great Video. Just liked and subscribed. I am inclined to buying the regular s8. I just have 1 question: - How is the experience with the attachable keyboard? (Is it easy to type on the small size?) Would appreciate a very short answer.
stucked with my fold3 and keep a surface pro as to go laptop. I use dex model alot on my fold3 with my monitor for my everyday tasks, I get the ideas that samsung wants to build, it is so good to only have one device for everything. hopfully DEX could getting better and better.
Great viewpoints as usual Mike! Though I have an unsual perspective. Ignoring price, I am actually comparing the Ultra, to Surface Pro 8 and the upcoming ROG Flow Z13. For me it comes down to the following: Tab S8 Ultra: For Movies mainly, the AMOLED screen is simply too gorgeous to ignore. MS Surface Pro 8: For Work and Design, it still has the best S Pen technicalities (e.g. Smoothness and Accuracy) ROG Flow Z13: For Gaming on-the-go, the sheer power and portability packed truly peaks across both worlds. With all that said, one really has to ignore the price. The moment you factor that in, ROG Flow Z13 is knocked out immediately.
Well, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra would definitely be the best for your money. Besides Samsung Dex, the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor and the gouges 120Hz AMOLED Display it is still better because: 1. Samsung offers; 4 Years of Android OS upgrades with (at least) 5 years of security updates 2. The Galaxy Tab has the big advantage of the Ecosystem, not just because it is a Galaxy but also because of Android, you have way more flexibility 3. It gives you a streamlined experience thanks to One Ui And last but definitely not least 4. The S Pen! Together with Samsung Notes and the latency of just 2.8 ms....it's hard to describe it's just awesome!
@@GT-qv1gl All the 3 choices I had compared have Stylus Pen functionality. The real debate is in which one does it best. Surface Pro Pen seems to be the most accurate and smooth in my own opinion. Although Samsung has the extra benefit of enabling the S Pen for its Eco-systems of apps. That, I would admit is quite a nifty benefit at times.
@@GT-qv1gl an iPad would be better for someone who is an Apple/iPadOS lover. For me, as a HUGE tablet lover and user, and even tho I love Apple and iPads, the Galaxy Tab S7/S8 series are way better, like it's no contest for me. Just love the freedom on Android and One UI. They feel like a laptop, while the iPads are too limited for me. The Tab S8 multitasking is life changing! And so is the costumization! And the additional "free" storage with SD card supports is a life saver! 🤩 And iPads are way too overpriced, which is why I always recommend he Tab S8 or S7 for better value. The 11" Tab S8 can go down to $600-$550, while the 11" iPad Pro is $750. Then the Tab S8 comes with the free S-Pen, while with the iPad you have to spend $130 more. So in the end, the Tab S8 is like $300-$400 cheaper, which is why I never recommend the overpriced/expensive iPad Pros to anyone, better buy a Tab S8, iPad 9, iPad Air 5, iPad Mini 6 or an actual regular laptop.
As someone who has the Apple pencil 1 and Tab S8 S-Pen, while I love both pencils, the S-Pen just feels so much better to use and to draw with! If only Procreate was on Android 😔 I still use the Apple pencil more because I just love Procreate too much. Best app ever lol
No discussion of DEX, especially for the Ultra? As a laptop replacement, this is a big deal. Also, I really wish there was an Otterbox Defender case for these.
I am looking to upgrade from the s7+, which has been a beast. Thereason to upgrade? Switching to a cellular model. I use mostly my phone for data, but after using my tablet for university work, having the tablet have cellular connectivity is so underrated... that means that, in the us at least, my upgrade options are simple, since the only cellular model is the s8+. Im just waiting for them to bring the tablet to other carriers, since I got a free extra line we are not using in my family plan.
@@FrankFurther where did you get the ultra with 5G, whats the GB and RAM? A couple months later and samsung and verizon only carry S8+ in 5G 128GB i think 6 or 8GB ram maybe 12 i dont remember
I think it's either the s8 or go ultra. For me I just use it to watch RUclips or Netflix and I use my laptop to do heavy work. I hold my tablet most of the time. So I guess s8..the s8+ is like kind of neither of both unless I really need the AMOLED.
Considering you recommended the S8+ for "the majority of people" to purchase, why didn't you actually discuss it more in your video? You also failed to mention that the only one with a SIM card is the S8+ or the accessories you used to make the determinations for the video. I admit that this is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt...
I'd be interested to hear a comparison between the ultra price point, the iPad and the Asus Flow X and Z varients with and without the external graphics cards. I'm thinking that either Asus gives you way better performance in a tablet for the price point.
All agreed but 1 thing. LCD vs Amoled is super recognizable and that annoys me so much. I didn't know s8 is LCD. Thanks. I personally like the s8 because of the size, but LCD display makes me think now.
Thanks Mike, went all in on both Tab and flagship S(note) so ULTRA all the way.. I am a Dex user so I have a hard time stating anything but "go for the biggest one(s)"! Still understand that the S8 on the subway with maybe Bose W/L sound link is more than suff.
I pre-ordered Tab S8 last month, and it's really good + free book cover. But I'm a bit disappointed because the book cover is for S7, I want the S8 book cover. The S7 book cover works well but there's no trackpad.
Hey I just got to say this. If the ultra is far bigger than the tab 8 Plus then I am f****** stunned because the tab 8 Plus is already f****** huge and an amazing tablet. Honestly I wanted the ultra but it was out of stock so I got the tab a plus and freaking love it. I've already used a lot of apps that I use on PC and it's pretty awesome! It works just like a PC as it should as the name states tablet PC. Keep up the good work Samsung.
I'm just confused as to why you and Samsung made a big deal out of that center stage feature because Google Duo has BEEN had that auto framing feature. I have it on my Note 20 Ultra it was nothing new
I went for the ultra and sold it because it was too large and heavy for everyday use. I still want my powertablet to be portable and the S8+ offers the best of booth worlds.
@@aglez9367 to be honest in my opinion the best one. The ultra was too big, the s8 not big enough. The s8+ has the right size, is not as heavy and the perfect oled screen of its bigger brother. For me the perfect choice.
The Ultra is to big and awkwardly heavy. Unfortunately, not only does Samsung not include a power adapter in the box, but wired charging is the only option available. None of the Galaxy Tab S8 tablets offer support for wireless charging. The lack of RAM in the lower models is a joke.
Wireless charging for tablets just don't make sense. Not only won't it fit on most wireless chargers, but it would take a really long time to charge their huge batteries.
Maybe it's just me but I prefer the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus. I have managed to replace my laptop easily with the Samsung Tab S7 Plus. I find the tab S7 Plus you have just an amazing screen and surprising speakers with great quality with movies and the music. I do sometimes crave a bigger screen especially when seeing the tab S8 Ultra, then I remember that I lose more of the portability even though it's a replacement for my laptop if I'm going away travelling somewhere I can essentially just throw this in my bag and go on my way. I find the software way less janki than Windows 10, coming from a ASUS ZENBOOK. It just feels more user-friendly. The only downside would be that its Android not that there's anything wrong with Android as that's the same with my phone having the Samsung phone also, it's the lack of optimisation regarding apps and developers. Both Android and Samsung when it comes to software have made a lot of effort and have a lot of great features that make it feels great to use as a tablet I just wish developers got on board. I've managed to even luckily find work arounds regarding Photoshop and video editing what I occasionally use more so with photoshop, using Photopea and lumafusion. I honestly think you just can't go wrong with the plus range, as it feels personally like a true premium 2in1. The Bassline S7 was just too small for me I do like a big AMOLED screen for making and consuming. It may have middle child syndrome but you won't regret it. An extra perk is that on resale the Samsung tabs tend to hold their value better than some laptops like my own ASUS ZENBOOK where resale price drops dramatically, on my own experience at least.
I am waiting for the t-mobile version of the tab S8 Ultra. I interpret in sign language for my church and there is some sitting down and standing up and if the center stage like feature will capture the transitions correctly that would be perfect so that I do not need to change the way that my phone is facing everything I change position. Plus, I would feel more comfortable to stand when I feel like I should be standing instead of trying to stay seated so that I can keep the visuals from getting messy.
If you spending that ultra money why not just go for a surface? You get more power and an actual desktop OS, not a tablet OS trying to double as a desktop OS with mobile apps. The tab s8 is probably perfect size for the android tablet experience. Can do some light laptop stuff in a pinch and be a good portable tablet experience. The s8 plus and Ultra is just a gimped laptop experience.
I ordered the s8+ it was the right fit for me not too big and also I don't really understand the ultra samsung do great laptops and there around the same money and far better at being a computer 🤷♂️ its also too big to be a tablet that ur holding for a while so not sure I understand its place
I have Samsung Galaxy tab ultra 256GB with 12GB and screen size 14.6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 128GB 4GB screen size 10.6 and with the surprise both of them play a Xbox game pass with no problems
There is a difference between a LCD/TFT display in galaxy S8 and the super AMOLED in Galaxy S8+. Please do your research before giving review remark. This is misguiding consumers like me.
I have the S8 and compared it to the S8 plus and the ultra, yes there is a difference on paper but under ordinary use unless you're looking at them side by side you wouldn't see the difference.
I'm a huge fan of the Tab S7+.
Before, all Android tablets were less than 11 inches diagonally. For my aging eyes, this was just slightly too small for reading small text in e-textbooks, PDF files, and digital comics without a lot of pinching and zooming.

I don't regret it in the slightest.
The Tab S7+ is amazing at rendering small text in a way that even my aging eyes can handle. It's been a dream.
What you get out of these tablets really depends on what you're doing with it.
I'm reading e-books, e-textbooks, social media, watching RUclips, and watching Netflix. At some point, I'm probably going back to school, where I had a great time using the Galaxy Tab S5e as a laptop replacement. I imagine the Tab S7+ will be even better.

If it weren't for the small text issue, I would probably prefer the Tab S7/S8 vanilla version, as the smaller size makes it better for handheld use away from a table or desk.
I'm guessing that the Tab S8 Ultra would be great for video conferencing and art, but would be strictly for desktop or tabletop use.
S6 as well.. fantastc purchase
A very useful and thoughtful message
The Tab s8 plus really seems the sweet spot!
The Ultra was a great preorder. Ended up paying $750 for the 512 GB Ultra with the free Keyboard. Got $600 for my tab S7+ via trade-in which I nabbed for $450 on BF. Then the education discount also knocked some extra $$ some off.
I went the same exact route. The trade in offer for my Tab S7+ along with the free keyboard and education discount was so good I couldn't pass it up.
I agree, most RUclipsrs don't understand this when they talk about the price, nobody is paying full piece for this thing. The ultra was cheaper than the s8+, I pre-ordered with an s22 ultra I was also buying for 25% off and I was also able to use $250 Samsung credit that comes with the s22 ultra on it + edu discount and the free keyboard. This worked out to $750 total for the 256gb/12gb ram model without any trade-in. This is by design, Samsung does this to make it seem like a good deal, the s8+ really only exists to make the ultra look like an unbelievable deal when you buy it for less than the s8+'s normal price and almost the s8's price but with a storage upgrade and keyboard on top of the upgrade the ultra is over the plus. So this guy's entire review is pretty much useless because he is using full retail prices to make the judgement which are not even remotely close to the real prices people are paying
Did all but education discount. Better typing experience, size fits snug in my 13" Samsonite bag.
Just wondering, what's BF? I'm actually looking for an S7 at that price haha

I have the S8 Ultra and I most say... Its AMAZING in all the way of the word! Its like a portable monitor! But almost as thin as a leaf! So powerfull yet so stylish!

I went for the S8+ bc it’s basically the best of both of them. I like the display and it s still portative, replacing my laptop when i’m on the move. Great tab!!!
Ordered the S8+ 256gb as a replacement for my Tab A 10.1 that I bought in early 2017. My Tab A has been heavily used and has been great for its purpose. I travel for a living and mainly for streaming and downloading movies and videos. But it was time for an upgrade. I am a wildlife photographer (hobbyists) and I use Lightroom mobile on my note 20 ultra. Wanted to be able to use the S8+ for that also. Decided to go aftermarket keyboard for it and a separate case similar to my Tab A that allows me to hook it on the airplane seat in front of me! Now.... I am traveling in Canada and my S8+ was delivered yesterday at home so I am excited to get home!
Awesome I also am a photographer that uses lightroom and wondering if I was wrong by not ordering the ultra over the tab S+. How do you like it?
@@joelqvisuals4578 sorry for the late reply. Size wise, I love it! Is perfect for what I am doing all around. I think the ultra would have been too big for my needs. But for you it may be okay. But the colors, the deep blacks and the resolution are phenomenal! I have the Sony a1 and this complements it well!
Glad seeing your channel is growing. Have been watching you for a while now and always thought that your content is underrated. I've already made a couple of purchases in large part thanks to your input.
Thank you for your kind words!
MUAHAHAHAH
@@MikeOBrienMedia Mike this is the best comment you can receive as this is why you do what you do and what you are in the business for, great job!
Absolutely love my samsung s8 ultra. No regrets. It's just laptop size I don't know why everyone is going on about it being too big.
They said the same about Samsungs Galaxy Note line. People just love to hate on Samsung, when they have proved time and time again to be way ahead of the curve
Wait what ordered my Tab S8 Ultra on the 9th before live stream and still waiting mine was delayed until April 1st still waiting on my red S22 Ultra too.
I was also wondering why. MacBook even have 16inch.
My s8+ is coming on the 24th march sucks!!
If it were Apple releasing an iPad the same size as the ultra they would all say itis amazing.
Those were the days when I paid around 300 bucks for my S2. Still using it often. Display (AMOLED) is still great. OK, no S-Pen support, but still: The prices for current tablets get wackier all the time.
The cpu in these things at wholesale is a couple hundred bucks by its self
Dude, this is honestly a great review, and still pretty relevant with the new S9 lineup released yesterday. This time however, we're talking almost same specs, including same AMOLED 2x 120hz displays across the board. So bigger is not better in this case. As an artist who only cares about the pen and the size, I think S9+ is most optimal, or even S9. Ultra is too big and defeats the purpose of feeling like a portable handheld sketchbook. We're also getting a standalone Creative S Pen, with replaceable nibs, higher tilt angles, and better grip, that's the real upgrade artists were hoping for along with a matte screen protector for that pen and pencil feel without worrying about natural nib wear.
I played with the Ultra at Best Buy. It is too big for a tablet, but with the keyboard to, as you said, replace a laptop it is very nice. I think for media digital arts people and artists in general it is probably nice to have the larger "canvas". The S8 was nice to hold. I'm still deciding between a Samsung model or an Ipad Pro. I have a newer MacBook air with the M1 and I have a Samsung style phone. The expandable storage and multitasking ability of the Samsung tablets is nice, but the simplicity of the Ipad is nice too. With the Ipad I would have to buy a pen for $100+.
I upgraded from the S7 tablet to the S8 ultra tablet. Great screen and features. After using it for 2 weeks for school, I find that it's too big for my applications. I already have a laptop, so now it feels like I have two. Next time I will stick with the smallest S Tablet for easier everday carrying.
You sir helped me decide that I will take the S8+ not the ultra
Went to buy thr s8+ they messed up my order and were sold out. Got the s8 ultra with the keyboard cover for the same price. At my summer cabin and loving the ultra as a portable tv / streaming device :)
The Tab S8 Plus is a nice middle ground IMO.
I pre ordered the Samsung tab s8+ with the keyboard cover and I’m so excited to get it April 1st :)
I pre-ordered the S8+ for HK$7788, roughly US$995. For that I got the 256GB version and the free keyboard cover. My only gripe with that is no choice of colours and missing out on a HK$250 credit due to many side items being out of stock.
I would get the tab S8 plus. I had the S7 and returned it for S7 plus 256gb. I have no regrets and love it. I will likely upgrade once the next version comes out or if the S8 goes on a crazy sale.
I upgraded my tab s7 to the tab s8 plus. I felt it gives you the best of both worlds with the amoled and smaller size compared to the ultra. Its been a beast for content consumption, gaming, and multitasking.
I pre-ordered the Ultra. I used my S7+ as a trade-in. I'm a Senior and need the extra real estate for my weary eyes. I use my tablet at least 5-6 hours a day. Mine is coming around the 12th of April. It originally showed the 29th of April. I checked it out this morning and now it's showing the 12th. I can't wait.
I have the S7 I use for work and it is a lot easier to carry around and type up case notes than the bigger version
One thing to keep in mind with the fingerprint sensor placement:
If you are using the vanilla Tab S7 or Tab S8, you are probably expecting to use it away from a desktop or tabletop, in which case, the lack of protection in the official cases is a potential problem. You're doing things that increase the chances of dropping the device, in which case you really should get a more protective case. One problem with this is that many of those more protective cases make the fingerprint sensor in the power button harder to access.
I ran into this same issue with the Tab S5e.
All the cases I have bought for my Tab S7 & S8, which are 4 cases, have the hole for the fingerprint and all of them are easy to access. So it's nothing to worry about. Most companies do it right (the hole in the cases).
There's a hole for the fingerprint scanner on my spigen case
I'm glad I checked out your video. I was looking to get the plus or ultra because bigger is better right? But now, because I have a perfectly good laptop at home, and because I plan to use mine mostly for youtube and taking notes, I think the regular model should be just fine for me. I might jump to the plus, but I definitely think the ultra is more than what I'll ever need. Thanks!
Good summary. I have been deciding between all 3. One of the big factors is that Samsung will give £120 each for my two iPad Pro with white spot as trade ins (worthless elsewhere) and there are some decent discount codes. The key issue is stock of all the keyboard cases with trackpads as with the discount promo codes around as get one for very cheap when you buy them with the tablet. Got one S8 256Gb on the way with trackpad case for £585 thanks to trade ins and code.
I think S8+ for me. I've watched all your videos on these and at this point, although Samsung's tablets have advanced so far and are capable of replacing a true laptop, I think these devices still perform better as tablets. I would purchase primarily for the tablet usage as my priority, with capability to use it as a laptop alternative as a secondary purpose. S8 is a great tablet, but too small to use effectively as a laptop. S8 Ultra is a great size for a laptop and multitasking, but you compromise the portability and convenience of a tablet, AND it probably can't do the heavy lifting that a laptop can do. So S8+ is a good middle ground for me.
@i only attract to western girl I have one, it is really great. Haven't gotten my free keyboard yet. Been pumping out the work. I have some really good apps. Put a 512GB microSD card in there and got the 256GB model. So, I don't have to constantly transfer my content off the main internal storage, if, in a design flow. It's a multitasking and content creation beast. I never close programs, and split screen is very efficient. I don't use the Samsung Note app that much except on my phone. Don't like the way it handles a lot of notes. On the phone you don't notice it that much. Comes with Noteshelf. It's good for visual notes.
@i only attract to western girl no experience. I don't have any Samsung tablet. But I do have a 2-in-1 14 inch laptop. Not talking about the weight, but just the screen size is too big for me to use as a tablet. The laptop weight doesn't help either. So I'm not completely qualified to say much. Imo, if I were to get one tho, it'd be the S8+
@i only attract to western girl They are really good tablets you can't go wrong whatever size you choose.
How's the battery life on s8+? Mine only last around 6-7 hours 😢
@i only attract to western girl yes, i got mine last week and overall the battery life a bit disappointed.
Hands down the best review I have seen. I just bought the s8 regular, got an amazing deal by pre-ordering.
Cool man. I just have 2 Questions:
- How is the audio quality? (Like listening to music)
- How is the experience with the keyboard? (Is it easy to type?)
Would like a very short answer.
Moved from the S7 to the S8+. Still use them both. Was going to trade the S7 but it feels so good in the hands. Really like the S8+ been pumping out the work. I have some really good apps that utilize the screen size. Late at night I find the S7 is easier on my eyes, if not using my laptop. I don't like a lot of light going into my eyes if I am really tired. The ultra was unnecessary because I have a 360, I, use and love, I can flip into any mode. So, an unnecessary duplication. Bottom line is you can't go wrong. But, first, identify your usage needs.
Thanks, I appreciate this video! At a time when there are some nice older IPads, but you are used to using the Galaxy phones, this really helps me to compare the right one to IPads. I love all the creative functions with Galaxy phones and watches, but I'm now into what gives me a larger screen for editing videos, reading, and Craft sofware, as well as geeking out!
The ultra has significantly less bezzels in a much larger surface, combined with an extremely thin format; that really needs an upper level of engineering to maintain the robustness. That's why it's so expensive. In the inside, it's not nearly the same as the other two.
Great video and all but did Daniel Tosh do the voice over?
Was waiting for your video and finally!! Sadly pre orders have ended and free keyboard cover offer with S8 tabs is gone. But I never buy Samsung stuff without your testing bro. Is it safe to buy ultra plz tell? I want a tab for making notes on OneNote, media consumption and gaming. This or M1 iPad Pro. Ecosystem/Price no bar..
If you want it primarily for notes taking then I would say that spen is way better for that. It feels like a real pen instead of a plastic hitting a glass in case of ipads.
You should have just pre order it and return it later on once you watch reviews.Mine hasn't even shipped yet so i got plenty of time to know if it's worth it or not
At this point, I can't really imagine you'd get too far trying to replace a laptop with an Android tablet. In some ways, yes. In many ways, no you just can't unless your work is mostly web based and even then it could be problematic depending on the web application.
Depends on your use case. If Samsung can continue to get editing apps for the tab line. It could be competitive with hybrids like the surface and definitely be upgrades compared to chromebooks
I don't need a replacement laptop and mostly will just use my new tablet for occasional RUclips videos and recipes in OneNote. I definitely won't get the Ultra and right now am leaning toward the 11 inch S8. I already have a bluetooth keyboard so I'll just get a thin TPU case and use my sturdy tablet stand. I'll probably play some games on it when I'm in a recliner so the smaller, lighter tablet would be better for that. Thank you for making this informative video. :)
Apologies in advance for the non related content comment. I just found your channel and had to do a double take as you sound and look like the minamalist Nate O'Brien( I have been following for years). I'm guessing he is your brother or close relative.
Yes, Nate is my brother. Excellent observation!
Personally, I prefer the side mounted fingerprint sensor because it's less invasive to the screen.
Agreed, I hate fingerprints on my screen when watching stuff so use the s pen to navigate, having to leave a big thumbprint on my screen every time I open it is annoying. Certainly not a big enough drawback to downgrade to a smaller size though
@@FrankFurther You can make it to where the fingerprint sensor isn't shown all the time in the settings.
All the s8 have "Center Stage", I own the s8 and it has it. S8 and S8+ only have a ultra wide and just use that. Also the S8 is 749€ in Germany, the same price as an ipad mini 64gb, with pen and case. And I ordered the s8 with a free slim keyboard cover so it's a very good deal.
@i only attract to western girl with Trad ein of a Huawai P10 Lite (210€ trade in, phone worth maybe 50€
10% discount for pre-order
Pre order voucher for a free add on
I got the Tab S8 + with the keyboard slim and the book cover keyboard for 665€
I sold the slim cover for 80€ so I got the tab s8+ für 585€ only.
In India after applying all the offers its was ₹49049 with keyboard book cover and 10 March was the last date for this offer.
Could you please give me the details of the offer, also where did you buy it, From the website or the store?
Upgraded from Tab s7 to s8, nothing much difference but performance improvement is noticeable, since I play fortnite and apex legends, both are bit graphical advance games, it's good but still not optimised well enough as they are new tablets in the market ! But for my note taking it's too good and improvement from tab s7 's pen is noticeable as it feels natural
What do you think about the S8 Ultra in comparison to the Microsoft Surface 8? Is it even possible to compare these two?
It is possible to compare them, and I will make a video comparing them eventually!
Awesome video! Great information! Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video. Just liked and subscribed.
I am inclined to buying the regular s8. I just have 1 question:
- How is the experience with the attachable keyboard? (Is it easy to type on the small size?)
Would appreciate a very short answer.
stucked with my fold3 and keep a surface pro as to go laptop.
I use dex model alot on my fold3 with my monitor for my everyday tasks, I get the ideas that samsung wants to build, it is so good to only have one device for everything. hopfully DEX could getting better and better.
Great viewpoints as usual Mike! Though I have an unsual perspective.
Ignoring price, I am actually comparing the Ultra, to Surface Pro 8 and the upcoming ROG Flow Z13.
For me it comes down to the following:
Tab S8 Ultra: For Movies mainly, the AMOLED screen is simply too gorgeous to ignore.
MS Surface Pro 8: For Work and Design, it still has the best S Pen technicalities (e.g. Smoothness and Accuracy)
ROG Flow Z13: For Gaming on-the-go, the sheer power and portability packed truly peaks across both worlds.
With all that said, one really has to ignore the price. The moment you factor that in, ROG Flow Z13 is knocked out immediately.
Well, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra would definitely be the best for your money.
Besides Samsung Dex, the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor and the gouges 120Hz AMOLED Display it is still better because:
1. Samsung offers; 4 Years of Android OS upgrades with (at least) 5 years of security updates
2. The Galaxy Tab has the big advantage of the Ecosystem, not just because it is a Galaxy but also because of Android, you have way more flexibility
3. It gives you a streamlined experience thanks to One Ui
And last but definitely not least
4. The S Pen! Together with Samsung Notes and the latency of just 2.8 ms....it's hard to describe it's just awesome!
Half the point of these is the pen, because otherwise, an M1 Air/Pro or a regular laptop will be better AND cheaper
@@GT-qv1gl All the 3 choices I had compared have Stylus Pen functionality. The real debate is in which one does it best.
Surface Pro Pen seems to be the most accurate and smooth in my own opinion. Although Samsung has the extra benefit of enabling the S Pen for its Eco-systems of apps. That, I would admit is quite a nifty benefit at times.
@@GT-qv1gl an iPad would be better for someone who is an Apple/iPadOS lover. For me, as a HUGE tablet lover and user, and even tho I love Apple and iPads, the Galaxy Tab S7/S8 series are way better, like it's no contest for me. Just love the freedom on Android and One UI. They feel like a laptop, while the iPads are too limited for me. The Tab S8 multitasking is life changing! And so is the costumization! And the additional "free" storage with SD card supports is a life saver! 🤩
And iPads are way too overpriced, which is why I always recommend he Tab S8 or S7 for better value. The 11" Tab S8 can go down to $600-$550, while the 11" iPad Pro is $750. Then the Tab S8 comes with the free S-Pen, while with the iPad you have to spend $130 more. So in the end, the Tab S8 is like $300-$400 cheaper, which is why I never recommend the overpriced/expensive iPad Pros to anyone, better buy a Tab S8, iPad 9, iPad Air 5, iPad Mini 6 or an actual regular laptop.
As someone who has the Apple pencil 1 and Tab S8 S-Pen, while I love both pencils, the S-Pen just feels so much better to use and to draw with! If only Procreate was on Android 😔
I still use the Apple pencil more because I just love Procreate too much. Best app ever lol
I was keen on getting one but the lack of spell check in a previous video from you Mike deterred me - is it a deal breaker?
No discussion of DEX, especially for the Ultra? As a laptop replacement, this is a big deal.
Also, I really wish there was an Otterbox Defender case for these.
These can't replace laptops lol. If they hadn't canceled that Linux dex thing they were developing, maybe it could have.
@@BuzzingGoober Can be the equal to or better than a Chrome book though.
@@davidc1961utube fair enough
I am looking to upgrade from the s7+, which has been a beast. Thereason to upgrade? Switching to a cellular model. I use mostly my phone for data, but after using my tablet for university work, having the tablet have cellular connectivity is so underrated... that means that, in the us at least, my upgrade options are simple, since the only cellular model is the s8+. Im just waiting for them to bring the tablet to other carriers, since I got a free extra line we are not using in my family plan.
You are incrorrect. I have the cellular s8 ultra, its 5G, had it since Feb 25th.
@@FrankFurther where did you get the ultra with 5G, whats the GB and RAM? A couple months later and samsung and verizon only carry S8+ in 5G 128GB i think 6 or 8GB ram maybe 12 i dont remember
thats why i dont get whats samsung thinking. hands down s8 regular is the most loved model, they should throw in all the good update to regular model
I think it's either the s8 or go ultra. For me I just use it to watch RUclips or Netflix and I use my laptop to do heavy work. I hold my tablet most of the time. So I guess s8..the s8+ is like kind of neither of both unless I really need the AMOLED.
You gave the battery life hrs for the Ultra (14hrs) and Plus (13hrs) but neglected to say the hrs for the 8 and I really wanted to hear that.
Considering you recommended the S8+ for "the majority of people" to purchase, why didn't you actually discuss it more in your video? You also failed to mention that the only one with a SIM card is the S8+ or the accessories you used to make the determinations for the video. I admit that this is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt...
Wrong. I have the S8 Ultra 5G with a sim card. Had it since Feb 25th
I'd be interested to hear a comparison between the ultra price point, the iPad and the Asus Flow X and Z varients with and without the external graphics cards. I'm thinking that either Asus gives you way better performance in a tablet for the price point.
All agreed but 1 thing. LCD vs Amoled is super recognizable and that annoys me so much. I didn't know s8 is LCD. Thanks. I personally like the s8 because of the size, but LCD display makes me think now.
Mike, I really liked this video. Exactly what needed.
Thanks Mike, went all in on both Tab and flagship S(note) so ULTRA all the way.. I am a Dex user so I have a hard time stating anything but "go for the biggest one(s)"! Still understand that the S8 on the subway with maybe Bose W/L sound link is more than suff.
Mike's videos are always so classy, keep it up. 👍
When will the galaxy s22 series review, Mike?
I pre-ordered Tab S8 last month, and it's really good + free book cover. But I'm a bit disappointed because the book cover is for S7, I want the S8 book cover. The S7 book cover works well but there's no trackpad.
Hey I just got to say this. If the ultra is far bigger than the tab 8 Plus then I am f****** stunned because the tab 8 Plus is already f****** huge and an amazing tablet. Honestly I wanted the ultra but it was out of stock so I got the tab a plus and freaking love it. I've already used a lot of apps that I use on PC and it's pretty awesome! It works just like a PC as it should as the name states tablet PC. Keep up the good work Samsung.
for ANC which one is better- galaxy buds pro or galaxy buds 2
I've always owned + models and I have traded my S7+ for an S8+. The ultra is way to big for a tablet imo.
I'm just confused as to why you and Samsung made a big deal out of that center stage feature because Google Duo has BEEN had that auto framing feature. I have it on my Note 20 Ultra it was nothing new
I went for the ultra and sold it because it was too large and heavy for everyday use. I still want my powertablet to be portable and the S8+ offers the best of booth worlds.
Hows the s8+ im not sure which one to get!
@@aglez9367 to be honest in my opinion the best one. The ultra was too big, the s8 not big enough. The s8+ has the right size, is not as heavy and the perfect oled screen of its bigger brother. For me the perfect choice.
I have the 5SE. Tempted by the Ultra but think I'll go for the plus version as it's 2 inches bigger than the 5se and the Ultra looks huge!
Do you know if the S8 ultra going to be offered in 5g in the USA ?
why don't all tablets have a phone built in them ?
Waiting for your s22 plus review Mike!
Does the tab 8 series handpalm recognition? Or to say s pen input only?
First thought after looking at the title, Don't they charge more for bigger TVs?
The Ultra is to big and awkwardly heavy. Unfortunately, not only does Samsung not include a power adapter in the box, but wired charging is the only option available. None of the Galaxy Tab S8 tablets offer support for wireless charging. The lack of RAM in the lower models is a joke.
Wireless charging for tablets just don't make sense. Not only won't it fit on most wireless chargers, but it would take a really long time to charge their huge batteries.
@@FrostArchon I get where you're coming from, however the Samsung has the 45W super fast charging capability, whereas the 5th generation iPad doesn't.
Does anybody know where to find the wallpaper shown in this video for the S8 Ultra, the cabin with the forest ?
Does Samsung intend for us to get all three tablets and use them for a different purpose?
I have the samsung galaxy tab 8 + , an upgrade from my samsung tab 6 , and its totally worth the money 💰
You have momentum 3? It's cool, isn't it?
Maybe it's just me but I prefer the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus. I have managed to replace my laptop easily with the Samsung Tab S7 Plus. I find the tab S7 Plus you have just an amazing screen and surprising speakers with great quality with movies and the music. I do sometimes crave a bigger screen especially when seeing the tab S8 Ultra, then I remember that I lose more of the portability even though it's a replacement for my laptop if I'm going away travelling somewhere I can essentially just throw this in my bag and go on my way. I find the software way less janki than Windows 10, coming from a ASUS ZENBOOK. It just feels more user-friendly. The only downside would be that its Android not that there's anything wrong with Android as that's the same with my phone having the Samsung phone also, it's the lack of optimisation regarding apps and developers. Both Android and Samsung when it comes to software have made a lot of effort and have a lot of great features that make it feels great to use as a tablet I just wish developers got on board. I've managed to even luckily find work arounds regarding Photoshop and video editing what I occasionally use more so with photoshop, using Photopea and lumafusion. I honestly think you just can't go wrong with the plus range, as it feels personally like a true premium 2in1. The Bassline S7 was just too small for me I do like a big AMOLED screen for making and consuming. It may have middle child syndrome but you won't regret it. An extra perk is that on resale the Samsung tabs tend to hold their value better than some laptops like my own ASUS ZENBOOK where resale price drops dramatically, on my own experience at least.
Finally Android Tablets which are really functional, not just big phones
I am waiting for the t-mobile version of the tab S8 Ultra. I interpret in sign language for my church and there is some sitting down and standing up and if the center stage like feature will capture the transitions correctly that would be perfect so that I do not need to change the way that my phone is facing everything I change position. Plus, I would feel more comfortable to stand when I feel like I should be standing instead of trying to stay seated so that I can keep the visuals from getting messy.
Hopefully they will have 5g for the ultra tablet soon in the states
If you spending that ultra money why not just go for a surface? You get more power and an actual desktop OS, not a tablet OS trying to double as a desktop OS with mobile apps.
The tab s8 is probably perfect size for the android tablet experience. Can do some light laptop stuff in a pinch and be a good portable tablet experience.
The s8 plus and Ultra is just a gimped laptop experience.
Exactly
i paid $200 more for the S8 regular, kind of the seme prices in south american countries, but still a nice devide dont regret it
Do a video comparing the S21+ with the S22+ please
didn't feel the need to upgrade from the S7+ this time around. maybe the next tablet.
I got an s8+ base config mostly because I don’t do anything overly intense and it’s nice to have versatility
To those who bought the ultra one, is the dex mode only available if its connected to the Samsung keyboard or it can be any other keyboard
Dex mode can be toggle with or without a keyboard, and yes you can connect to your own keyboard, I use a logitech k770 for typing input
@@oni7729 I understand. thank you so much for taking your time to reply to me!

In Romania all these tablets cost about $120 more than in the US
I ordered the s8+ it was the right fit for me not too big and also I don't really understand the ultra samsung do great laptops and there around the same money and far better at being a computer 🤷♂️ its also too big to be a tablet that ur holding for a while so not sure I understand its place
Ultra cost 2000$ in Norway for the one with 8gb RAM, 125gb
Probably one of the top reviewers out here
I've got S 8 Ultra! I absolutely love it. Not as big as the hype!
In Australia I paid $1500 for the S8+ wifi and 128gb
In my opinion s 8 plus should not cost more then 100-120 $compared to s8 ,so about 820$ and ultra about 950$
I have Samsung Galaxy tab ultra 256GB with 12GB and screen size 14.6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 128GB 4GB screen size 10.6 and with the surprise both of them play a Xbox game pass with no problems

S8 Reg. As Long As I Can Stream videos (RUclips, Netflix Etc) in 4k & Play Cloud Gaming I'm Good 👍🏼!
Got the regular S8 and it's great!
None have a 4k screen so no you can't
I got the s8+, regretted it and got the ultra instead. Much happier with the gigantic screen
There is a difference between a LCD/TFT display in galaxy S8 and the super AMOLED in Galaxy S8+. Please do your research before giving review remark. This is misguiding consumers like me.
I have the S8 and compared it to the S8 plus and the ultra, yes there is a difference on paper but under ordinary use unless you're looking at them side by side you wouldn't see the difference.
Gonna pass on this one. The S7+ has all I need for much much less.
i bought the s8+. I dont need the s8U since i have the surface book 2 15".
I'd say for me it's the ultra is the one already have a smaller tablet for curling up on the couch
All S8 tablets have a front-facing ultra-wide camera . . .
If you complain about the ultra, there are other sizes you grouchy😉
Iam getting the ultra for Christmas, got almost a 700$ discount.
