I have the tab s8 plus and coming from an iPad the differences are night and day with multitasking. The s8 plus is incredible and Apple I’m sure deliberately does everything they can to stifle true windows and multitasking to avoid losing sales from their MacBook line. The stage manager update for example seems a way to “almost” solve the window problem but not all the way. Apple could make iOS great but they clearly don’t want to whereas Samsung is innovating all the time.
Thank you for explaining this, Sak, it made my day!! The ability to extract text from pictures is a game changer as a student. I always screen shot and selectively highlight each page of my digital textbooks when studying. Now I can also extract text from those screen shots as I see fit, and drop the text into Samsung notes! I tested this and entire pages of text are copied accurately!
Great review! Thanks Sakitech. I bought a Tab S8 but returned it because the screen was kind of dark. I saw this review and decided on the Tab S8+ because it is so much better.
I’m an iPhone user and planned to get the iPad Pro, but after my research, opted for the Galaxy Tab S8 plus. Great feature rich and display. When compared to iPad m2 pro size for size, much cheaper with more versatility. M2 powerful processor good for developers, but don’t need for typical use. I love your reviews Saki, and get a kick out of your “boom” app open gestures! Great job!
Hi Sak, I'm a huge fan of yours thank you so much for all of your information 💗 I was wondering if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong, since the new update some apps that I go on will not show my keyboard so that I can type information in. Do I have it set on something wrong? I've tried to figure this out but I'm having no luck. Please help/advise 🙏🏾
I would agree with one BIG caveat. Without universal file drag and drop it really hurts the Tab S8 in terms of feeling like an ipad killer. Dex is great, and it would be better if the files drag and drop universally available across the OS was thing. iPad has done this for a long time now and the iPads Slideover drawer is a better way of managing popup apps than the Tab S8's current split of an edge panel and then minimizing popup apps into floating icons on screen. its just not as practical as iPad's slide over dock workflow. Dex Mode without the ability to drag and drop files is a really bad "Desktop" experience.
The Tab S Line Finally Got Good With S6, S7 & S7+ got better, with all the Ram & Ram Management System, The S8 Ultra is The Best! HANDS DOWN, I DONT SEE ANY OTHER COMPANIES OUT THERE PUTTING 12 GB OF RAM LET ALONE 16GB OF RAM on any Tablets & THEY'RE STILL AFFORDABLE! $1000.00 IS ALOT BUT NOT WHAT YOUR GETTING FOR IT!
Great video bro great job but you didn't forget to make the video on z fold 3 how to write on screen when it's off but I'm not in a hurry I know you have a lot of videos to do but great video and great job on this video 👍
Hi guys, i am looking into this for a man with disabilities who can't press buttons. Can it be woken by a lift and wake option or by touching the screen?
Why won't screen stay LOCKED , when turning on its starts in upright position then when googling ,apps it then turns why not start up in long wise because its locked . Also if youtubing their a split , top showing youtube then other 1/2 is the rest of the youtubes vides, even if you expand the top youtube window. Some updates screw things up changing locations especially in settings and rename some things ;-( . Then when you were use to go to going one place , theyve changes names ,locations, I realize you have the choice to update or NOT to prevent but then us out on certain other udates ;-( Thanks for all your Videos
I have an s8 plus with 5g. I can make and receive calls and email. However at&t tech support cannot tell me how to set up messaging. I want send and receive messages on this tablet can you help please
Hello, i have a strange problem related to sound feedback of pen in notes and in screen off memo. After fresh install of android 13, the spen is making sound like pen on paper in notes app and in screen off memo, but after a wile the spen is mute in screen off memo and notes app. Its working with write sound only in writing on screenshot and thats it. If i reset tablet to default, the sound of writing on paper is back in screen off memo and notes, but after 10 min is mute again. Maybe it has something to do with updating apps on google play?
@@nerohea4094 The Galaxy tabs will still be very performant after 3 years, the Tab S7 still performs great after 2 years so that's a good indication for the rest
Key things missing are Files Drag and drop across the entire OS. iPad does this...we need this on the Tab S series. Then if they really want to make the ipad obsolete they need to make the popup apps work better in tablet mode when minimized like iPad has with their slide over. We can hide them off to the side instead of just minimized into little logos. The tuck/hide is far better than the minimize to log which is still in the way on screen. This is basically a poor use of the edge panel. As long as they minimize to edge panel that would even be fine...not ideal...but better than current standard. Ideally, popup widget would also allow popup apps to be docked on a page. That would be excellent. BUT at a minimum we need drag and drop of files to be universal on the OS or it isnt a real desktop replacement device.
An android tablet will never kill an iPad.. android sucks. Only thing an android tablet is good for is for kids and for gaming. That’s it. I’d buy this for a gaming tablet or for my kids but not for anything else

That text extraction is epic. All of these things work on fold 4 also 👌
SAKI COMING THROUGH AGAIN! FIVE STARS BROTHER!
I just got this tablet 2 days ago and am getting it all set up. I aldo got this update too today. I really like it.
Nice one Sakitech. Checking this out right now.
Thank you for this nice and detailed explanation, very useful
I like this tab a lot. I wish I could have it someday.
I came here to learn more about the tab s8 plus i just ordered but ended up learning I can do all of these things on my Zfold 3 too!
My Tab s7 plus got it yesterday:)
To me this is basically an I pad samsung finally nailed it
Nice review keep up the good work

i already think the s8/s8+/s8 ultra killed the ipad pro m1 version even before this new update. productivity is on a hole other level
does the ipad pro use gorilla glass and if so what version.

the IPad it's like a fisher price tab in comparison to the Tab S8 line
Now that the galaxy tabs s9/s9+/s9 ultra are out two months ago. The also killed the m2 version.

The keyboard on the S8+ are not the full size of the screen??
How's that feel??
Great video as always!
Could you maybe link for the wallpaper?
Yes, where can we get the wallpaper
Great video bro great job but you didn't forget to make the video on z fold 3 how to write on screen when it's off but I'm not in a hurry I know you have a lot of videos to do but great video and great job on this video 👍
does it support to get one ui 5 or 5.1 ?
I have a question...does the taskbar appears only if you use navigation buttons? I use the gestures option and it doesn't appear.
I am not able to afford this Tab 😭 but i want this so badly 😭🖐🏻
I still don't have it on the T mobile version. Do you know when it will be available?
Hi guys, i am looking into this for a man with disabilities who can't press buttons. Can it be woken by a lift and wake option or by touching the screen?
It's sucks that we can't pin the edge panel to the front display! Especially on the Zfold 4!
Hopefully they will have the ultra tablet in 5g soon in the states 😊
I see that they have the s8+ with 5g, but I don't think that I can afford it right now.
They may as well just make their own os for the fold, the tablet and their laptops
Can you please link the wallpaper?

How did you manage to have navigation on the right bottom side and compact but not the middle bottom?
Huh, it's available only for buttons but not gestures... :(
Cool, like the Fold4. I should plug in my Tab S7 and see if this is available for that device
Probably not. This is just Samsung being greedy like every other company!
It will come soon to Tab S7 series, too. They're in testing right now.
@@TheScavengr It's already available

Amazing
I don't know why I haven't received this update on my s8 plus yet.
Can I use the S8 plus for my zoom needs?
Definitely
How to activate the tSk bar mine look like you can't click it,yet I'm sure it was on before.thanks
Oh you have to make it a default home screen hmm,so not with nova..?
Am I the only one that noticed that his wallpaper looks like the album cover of “Army” by Neoni and Besomorph???
What is the best case for the Tab S8+
WHAT IS BEST CASE AND KEYBOARD OF SAMSUNG GALAZY S8PLUS TABLET AND ASSESSORIES..THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VALUABLE INFORMATION...... RESPECT..LESLEY
Will it come to s8 plus only, not the smaller s8?
It's available for all the tab S8 & S7 tablets
Wallpaper name?
is there a way to disable this stupid popup bar it just looks dumb and blocks screen space
Are these features also available in Tab S8?
Yes
can i have the background image please :)
THE S7 FE ALSO GOT THIS UPDATE
Hi Saki, is it possible to get WhatsApp on the tab S8 ?
Yes, it's in the Google play store
The S7 FE is an iPad Air killer
I fucking hate my iPad I need this tablet ASAP! 😢😢
false caption
caption = tab 8 plus get update but when i was open video =tab s8 get update!!!!
Samsung users be like
“You can only have up to 14 apps in the task bar, let me show you how that works”
What the Galaxy Tablet can't beat the iPad is performance. In reality, gaming is not good enough as an IPad...
The galaxy tab S7 & S8 has no performance issues where gaming is concerned

NO REASON IT DID NOT COME OUT TO THE TAB S6 LITE WIFI
2020
I hate this new taskbar mini vibes - beyond annoying
No reason this isn't on the Tab S7 plus. Just lame Samsung.
And this is why I jumped to iOS.
I’ve got a iPad Pro which is the same date as the s7 and it’s running the same update as the newer iPads.
@@DipsyMum29 don't lie you always had ios you didn't jump to nothing ..you just came here to bash the Tab lol
@@tstarf nope I had Samsung note 2, 3, 4 and was going to get the 7 until it was recalled.

Bruh it will come to tab s7+ but u just gotta wait
This update is coming to the Tab S7 and S7 Plus🤷🏾♂️, their making sure its compatible with the SD865 S.o.C!
Its already better than the iPad Pro lol. Wdym one step closer to being an iPad killer?
Still don't get it....
I guess it is a region thing for live in a third world country...
You should get the update by now, check again
no update for me S8+ and S22 ultra
You Should have it by now
Yeah, that’s embarrassing in comparison to what Apple offer
Copied from the iPad
Can the iPad split the screen for 3 apps?
@Tevii or 4 split screens plus a few pop ups... no it can't 😂
Is this not for the s7 plus roo?
It's now available on the tab s7
