Display

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 will happily stream HD video from all popular services. Using the tablet and bright conditions is no problem either. Since the screen is not AMOLED, it supports a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and is not an under-display of the Plus model. The content looks great and the sound on this tablet is amazing too. Thanks for its quad stereo speaker setup (4 speakers) tuned by AKG and have Dolby Atmos support. There is no 3.5-millimeter jack on this device though. For traditional headphones, you’ll need to use a USB-C adapter or connect USBC headphones.

The screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 itself is TFT with 1600 x 2560 resolution. This gives you a total of 274 PPI (PPI higher than on the Plus). It has a 120 Hz refresh rate. This screen looks great. Enabling the high refresh rate doesn’t require you to change the resolution and it makes supported content and UI elements appear much smoother. By the way, is not this the same display Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 also had? In many ways, truly it is.

Platform

What you have got running the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is Android 12, One UI 4.1 launcher. One UI just brings the best of Android 12 here. For instance, the privacy features are present and correct. You can fast toggle the camera and microphone access for all apps. And when you load up an app that uses the camera or the mic, you’ll get a little indicator at the top corner. You’ve got great customization in one UI. For example, you change the wallpaper and everything as usual, but you’ll also see the new color palette option as well. This can actually change up the theme and colors based on the wallpaper you’ve got installed at the time.

Mini laptop

If you turn on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, you get something a bit different from a smartphone UI. This is more like what you’d find on a PC. Complete with stacking windows for each open app. Furthermore, Samsung offers a keyboard, which you can attach to the tablet (sold separately). But you can also connect your own wireless keyboard and mouse. With this setup, what you will have before you is a substitute for a small laptop. It’s nice that you get expandable storage on the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus as well as Tab S8. This is to say you can add on top of the 128 or 256 GB onboard. Something you do not see on the iPad Pro. The tablet offers options in 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, and 256GB 12GB RAM. Oh, and by the way, Samsung DeX is wireless on this tablet. How cool is that? Wireless Samsung DeX? In Samsung DeX mode, you can take a closer look at things like videos, artwork, and documents on a larger display

Performance

The entire Samsung Galaxy s22 family is powered by a new chipset in the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4 nm). And this is the same chipset that powers Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. Samsung, still, is making big, bold claims when it comes to the chipsets here. You’ve got all kinds of crazy graphical features packed in here. If you are a gamer, the Galaxy Tab S8 should certainly satisfy you. And of course, this tablet also gives you a good bit of 5G support as well (HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE-A (CA), 5G). You’ve got Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6e support on there as well. It is under the battery and device care section of the settings of Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 5G that you’ll find the storage.

S-Pen

Now the Galaxy Tab S7 series have S-Pens with 9ms latency. But read this, this time Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 has ultra-low 6.2ms latency. Taking notes is super easy. And the low latency coupled with a high refresh rate of the screen makes the writing sensation feel really authentic. The notes app can convert whatever you’ve written into the text. You can then export this text as a file, like a PDF or a word document. Plus, all of the notes you take can be synced via the Samsung cloud. This responsive stylus works great for drawing too. Screen translate is yet another useful feature of this S-Pen. There are also a variety of air actions, which are just your controls for the UI or supported apps. The S-pen runs on a battery and recharges wirelessly.
