WHY PAY MORE?!?! Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 VS Tab S7

  • Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 or the Tab S8? And if you already have a Tab S7, should you upgrade to the Tab S8. When Samsung released the Galaxy Tab S8, I was super excited but also a little confused. You see, the Tab S7 is one of my favorite tablets, so when I got the newer version, I could see that it’s better - Samsung did make updates to it - but I was wondering - did they do enough? And, there’s actually one important area where they took a step back.
    Let’s take a look at the size of the two tablets, the design and the options as far as biometric authentication. Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE display hold up to the iPad Air 4? How do the camera and speakers stack up? What about the keyboard and stylus options?
    And finally, when looking at the Tab S7 FE and the Air 4 battery life, multitasking and gaming performance - which one comes out on top?

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Tab S7 and its bookcover keyboard. The stand is sturdy, the s-pen cover is secure, and it is separable. I have Tab S7 and its bookcover keyboard since end of 2020 (1.5 years now) and it still lasts around 14 hours without charging, and if I dont use it to draw, it will last even more. I usually only need to charge this device once in a day, and it takes only an hour to fully charged. Tab S7 also doesnt have heating issue. My only concern is that I find it quite heavy with the cover on, and that the ports and that sides (where the ports are) are not well protected by the cover.

    1:05 very minor point, but still, the only reason of fingerprint scanners being different on regular and plus models is not only caused by Samsung's decision to just creating a differentiator. Tab S7 and Tab S8 both lack AMOLED panels, which can turn off their pixels completely to accommodate an under-screen scanner. LCDs and TFTs on the other hand, aren't transparent enough to let the scanner do its thing. So, the main reason of these fingerprint scanners' position is Samsung opting for non-OLED screens on smaller models.

    The reason you didn't find any differences in latency because Samsung updated the Samsung Notes app for low latency on tab S7 Series too !

  • @crypticquintessence4814
    @crypticquintessence4814 2 года назад +3

    I believe the reasoning behind not having the 512gb model is because its far cheaper and convenient to just have your data on sd cards or flash drives which can be connected to the device to transfer your data. When you get up into the terabyte range its much better to just have a cheap tower computer with hard drives or an external hard drive. That way you can transfer your data from your PC to your sdcard/flashdrive/external harddrive, and then to the tablet.
    If you had an apple or ios device, that simple process is an extreme hassle. Another thing you take for granted is that this tablet runs android and has that kind of flexibility. compaired to your ios counterpart

    • @crypticquintessence4814
      @crypticquintessence4814 2 года назад +1

      also the fact that the minimum has been raised from 64 gb of internal storage is a plus as 64 gb really isnt enough to contain all your apps photos and videos depending on how much you use it. Itll go by much faster also considering the entire operating system is also taking up some of that space

    • @crypticquintessence4814
      @crypticquintessence4814 2 года назад +1

      conclusion, 128gb is plenty for any tablet.. if you need more space just buy an sdcard or flash drive and adapter. The fact you are upset they dont have the higher storage compacities shows that you dont regularly use external storage devices.

    for anyone debating between the slim keyboard and the keyboard w/ touchpad, don't get the keyboard with touchpad. It is trash for a few reasons:
    1. the keyboard with touchpad is not sturdy. The connector to the tablet is not stiff, so if youre typing on your lap, everything will wobble. (The slim keyboard doesn't have that.)
    2. The touchpad itself is *abysmal*. It has weird issues where it doesn't start scrolling until several miliseconds in, and this is both frustrating and causes a lot of issues surprisingly. There also doesn't seem to be a middle click. Not sure if that's an Android limitation, a Dex limitation, or a keyboard touchpad limitation, but it's very annoying. Switching back from touchpad to just swiping on screen and using the slim keyboard was NIGHT AND DAY in terms of ease of use and latency.

You explain that the Tab S7 comes with 128, 256 or 512 GB of storage and all of these have 8GB of ram. I don't understand why you separate the 128 option from the other two. Then for the Tab S8 you show options for 128 and 256GB both with 8GB of ram and say that in that context you are getting a little bump with the 128GB version.

      To the S7+ I give 10/10
      To the S7, I give a solid 8/10
      The speakers are amazing on both, viewing angles are also pretty good for an LCD
      One thing that I don't like about them is both of them got literally no coating on their displays , so they're as reflective as a mirror when the brightness is low

    I never understand the argument about upgrading for os updates alone. If you like your tab on the current OS you'll still like it when the newer one's get updated, plus they release new tablets every 1-2 years so most people aren't even utilizing the whole update cycle before upgrading. I feel like people who are upgrading from s7 to s8 just want to justify spending more money when they know they don't have to
