Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 5G

90.2% Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 5G review: Maximum performance in 11-inch format | Notebookcheck
Samsung aims to leave the competition in the dust with its new premium tablet Galaxy Tab S8 5G. A case out of Armor Aluminum, a high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, a 120 Hz screen, and the Samsung S Pen are just a few of the hardware ingredients that the manufacturer offers. We put the Galaxy Tab S8 5G through its paces in the following review.
80% Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 review: A new standard for Android tablets
Source: Tom's Guide English
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is an excellent Android tablet. It's fast, long-lasting, beautiful to look at and comfortable to hold. The cameras are good enough to make taking photos and video calls with your tablet seem fun, and the packed-in S Pen is a nice touch that works well. That said, the Galaxy Tab S8 can't match the performance or display quality of most modern iPads. With Samsung's DeX mode enabled the Galaxy Tab S8 is a more feasible laptop replacement than nearly any iPad, but even for its reasonable starting price of $838 with keyboard you can get a more capable Windows laptop like the Asus Zenbook 13 OLED. The Galaxy Tab S8 is good at a lot of things, but it's best at being a premium Android tablet.

80% Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 review: A new standard for Android tablets
Source: Tom's Guide English
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 sets a new standard for premium Android tablets. This is the successor to 2020's Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, which we called the best iPad Pro rival — and one of the best tablets, period — on the market. But that was two years ago, and in the interim, Apple redefined what we expect from pro-grade tablets with the phenomenal 2021 iPad Pros. Samsung has also stepped up its tablet game, launching the Tab S8 alongside two larger, OLED-equipped models: A slightly improved Tab S8 Plus and the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, a massive 14.6-inch Android tablet with a screen large enough to overshadow the iPad Pro. So where does that leave the Galaxy Tab S8? Its 11-inch LCD screen is bright and responsive, but it can't match the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021's dazzling mini-LED display. But while it's not fair to call the Tab S8 a real iPad Pro rival any longer, it is an elegant, performant and power-efficient slate that doesn't mar the strengths of Android 12 with too much Samsung tech.

80% Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 review
Source: Tech Advisor English
The Galaxy Tab S8 is an impressive premium Android tablet option, though you should be careful to check that you don’t need a little more – or a little less. With a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, plenty of RAM and storage, and S Pen stylus support this is a powerful productivity option, and there are really no tablets available now that pack more power – at least not ones that run Android. It’s a shame that the display is only LCD, rather than AMOLED, but this will only really matter to creative power users or serious cinephiles – this is a perfectly good LCD panel otherwise. US customers may gripe that there’s no 5G option, while UK ones will likely bemoan the fact that the 5G upgrade costs so much, but if you’re happy to stick to Wi-Fi then the Tab S8 has few faults.

On the couch its great for gaming or reading comics, and at work it's nice to have as a note-keeping device or secondary display, especially if you go to the trouble of investing in the Galaxy ecosystem and making your workspace DeX-friendly.

Samsung’S Galaxy Tab S8 Ships With A Stylus But It Can’T Outrun An Ipad
Source: Reviewed.com English
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 is a fine tablet despite the quirks of its display aspect ratio and the limitations of the Android operating system. It’s bundled with an excellent stylus, is easy to handle or pack for travel, and has strong battery life. I enjoyed my time with the tablet. Yet the Galaxy Tab S8 is hard to recommend. It’s slower than Apple’s 5th-gen iPad Air, is saddled with a less impressive app ecosystem, and struggles within the limitations of Android. Longevity is also an issue. I’m confident the 5th-gen Air will be useful in five years (my personal tablet is a 2017 iPad Pro 10.5, and it works great). Samsung, by contrast, tends to support its tablets for only a few years. The Galaxy Tab S8 will appeal to Android fans who want a solid tablet and a great stylus at a reasonable price. If you’re not allergic to Apple, however, an iPad is a better choice.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Review – Best Flagship Tablet You Can Buy Right Now
Source: Cashify English
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is one hell of an offering if you do not compare it with iPads. This is the maximum potential that an Android tablet can offer you at this price point and let us leave it at that. My personal experience with the tablet was rather marvelous over the period of a week that I used it. Moreover, if this is your first high-end tablet and you have never used an iPad before, you will totally love it. Apple has set a benchmark in the tablet segment with their iPads (especially the ones running on the latest M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max chipsets) that is extremely hard to beat. However, if you like the freedom of Android and joy of being able to download third-party applications easily, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is for you. Besides, if you are on a tight budget and the base model is all you can go for, so be it. You get the latest and greatest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 anyway with a large 11-inch display. Not to mention that there is 8GB of RAM and at least 128GB of internal storage. Additionally, the S-Pen works seamlessly well and will further add to the whole premium Android tablet experience.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Review: Premium Android, S-Pen Prowess
Source: Hot Hardware English
The Galaxy Tab S8 lineup offers a range of premium Android tablets for a variety of use-cases, from a mobile entertainment/media device to a portable productivity machine and something in-between. While Samsung currently owns the premium Android tablet space, the company hasn’t been complacent in its market domination. The Tab S8 and its brethren pack all the specs and features you’d expect and more at prices that compete with Apple’s tablet offerings. Even if you aren’t married to the Android platform, we think the Tab S8 is worth recommending.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 And S8 Plus Review: Welcome To The S Ecosystem
Source: The Verge English
After years of not seeing a great reason to buy an Android tablet, I have to admit that Samsung has presented a compelling pitch this time around — provided you are already in the Samsung Android ecosystem. The Tab S8 and S8 Plus integrate well enough with other Samsung products, they are excellent hardware on their own merits, and if you have specific use cases that are poorly served by Apple’s strict control over iOS, these tablets might just be what you’re looking for. Samsung still has some work to do fleshing out its ecosystem, and hopefully, Google’s renewed interest in Android tablets will produce better third-party app support (I’m not holding my breath there, though). And it’s a bummer that if you have a Pixel or other Android phone, you can’t really take advantage of a lot of the integrations Samsung has developed. But I think the biggest hurdle with the Tab S8 and S8 Plus as they are is their pricing. These are premium tablets with big price tags — especially once you start to add accessories to them.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 review: Portable multimedia powerhouse
Source: Sam Mobile English
The Galaxy Tab S8 is best described as an entertainment device that can sometimes double up as your workstation. Indeed, if watching videos, making video calls, or playing games is what you want to do on a tablet, the Galaxy Tab S8 is excellent. But for work or for drawing with the S Pen, the 11-inch screen might feel a little cramped to some. On the other hand, the more compact dimensions do have the advantage of letting you carry the tablet around more comfortably. If that’s something that attracts you, the Galaxy Tab S8 is actually a great pick, as it can do everything its siblings can even if it doesn’t provide the absolute best experience. Plus, its price tag is the lowest, and that has to count for something, right?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series could be the ultimate laptop replacement you needed
Source: Tech Nave English
So, what do you think of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series? In our opinion, the large 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (RM5,899) is your best bet if you want an alternative to a Windows laptop. If you're fine with a smaller screen, the Galaxy Tab S8 (RM3,299) could be a better deal. However, since all of them weigh well below 800gm and are 5.5mm to 6.3mm thin, all of them are super portable and easy to carry about. If you're interested, it's even better that Samsung is now holding a promotion till 31 March 2022. During this period, you get to enjoy freebies worth up to RM1,887* when purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series tablet! Not only do you get a free Book Cover Keyboard and S Pen worth RM1738 (already included in the box), but also a Neoprene Pouch worth RM149. In addition, you can get also get 30% off on a Samsung Care+ 1 year protection plan (worth up to RM330).

70% Samsung Galaxy Tab S8
Source: PC Mag English
If you're invested in Android apps or just really don't like Apple or Windows products, the Galaxy Tab S8 (and the other models in the lineup) offers more power for creativity and productivity than any other Android tablet. But the Tab S8 is pricey, especially if you start adding accessories; the combination of the entry-level $699 model, a $199 keyboard, and a mouse takes you close to the $1,000 range. And although you can cheap out with a $65 Logitech K780 Multi-Device Keyboard, a $15 generic wireless mouse, and a $20 Fintie slim case from Amazon, the assemblage then becomes pretty kludgy. The other problem is that the Tab S8 simply doesn't offer as premium an experience as iPads and Windows tablets. Creative types don't have as many apps at their disposal, and Samsung's Dex mode isn't ready for full-scale productivity. Ultimately, the pricing is a Samsung problem and the apps are an Android problem. If you're willing to look beyond Android, the $599 HP Chromebook X2 ($599) includes a keyboard and a pen, so while it's noticeably slower than the Tab S8, it's substantially more affordable.

81% Galaxy Tab S8 review: Samsung's new tablet exceeds expectations
Source: Zdnet.com English
The Galaxy Tab S8 has surprised me with its appeal over the past few weeks and has exceeded my expectations. It's not a major upgrade over the Tab S7 with the same form factor, but it does have the latest and greatest processor, improved cameras on the front and back, and improved S Pen latency. For those looking for a tablet companion to their laptop and smartphone, the Tab S8 is a worthy option and with a microSD card, you could choose the $699.99 entry model and likely have all you need. Remember, Samsung throws in the S Pen too so unlike Apple you won't have to pay another $100 plus for the stylus.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 and Tab S8 Plus are remarkably limited upgrades compared to 2020’s Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7 Plus.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 initial review: A premium Android ace
Source: Pocket Lint English
On the one hand the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is a little disappointing in that it's almost identical to the Tab S7 that came 18 months prior. But to solely see it in that way would be shortsighted: for the Tab S8 is a true premium Android tablet with great design and top-end power, which is a relatively rare commodity in this market. However, if you want a larger screen then the 12.4-inch AMOLED panel of the Tab S8+ might be yet more appealing, while we find the 14.6-inch panel of the Tab S8 Ultra to be to excess for a pure tablet product (fine as a laptop alternative, however, if that's more your aim).

Model:

The latest Galaxy Tab S8 from Samsung has arrived with a whole new standard for premium Android tablets. Basically, the device comes in with an 11-inch LCD screen which is bright and responsive, but it definitely cannot match the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021's dazzling mini-LED display. However, it would not be fair to call the Tab S8 a real iPad Pro rival any longer as it is an elegant performer and power-efficient slate that does not match the strengths of Android 12 with too much Samsung tech. In terms of its design, this tablet is the entry-level model of its generation, but it definitely does not feel like it. Coming in at roughly 10 x 6.5 x 0.2 inches and 1.1 pounds, the device feels rather comfortable to be held, even during long stints gaming or reading on the couch. While the Book Cover Keyboard Slim do add a bit of bulk when attached, not to the extent that one could notice the extra weight in a backpack. On the back of the device, there is a slight bump that houses the rear camera, as well as a magnetized strip where the included S Pen stylus can be attached to charge it. In addition, is there is a USB-C port along the bottom edge of the tablet for charging or connecting accessories (including a variety of displays, since it supports DisplayPort out).  On the left edge, there is a port for attaching the Book Cover Keyboard Slim. The right edge of the device houses the power button, the fingerprint reader, the volume rocker and the microSD card slot, which is housed in a secure compartment which can be opened with something small and pointy (Samsung includes a tool for opening the microSD compartment in the box). However, it is worth noting that there is no headphone jack in this device.

As far as its display is concerned, just like its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S8 sports an 11-inch WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Similar to its predecessor, the screen looks bright and colourful, with nice smooth scrolling thanks to its adaptive refresh rate (which dynamically adjusts the refresh rate up to its 120Hz max, instead of staying locked at 60Hz), though the refresh rate can be locked at 60Hz in the tablet's Display settings to make it drain less battery power. In terms of its performance, this model has been equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip which gives the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 plenty of power for most tasks, and the 8GB of RAM helps making running and navigating between apps rather snappy and responsive. As for its audio, the four speakers inside this tablet is surprisingly loud, and they support Dolby Atmos to boot, though there is a need to make sure that the feature is enabled in the Settings menu to enjoy the full effect. Overall, it is a great tablet to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.

Qualcomm Adreno 730: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 30% faster than the Adreno 660 in the Snapdragon 888 SoC. For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in late 2021.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 8 Gen 1: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2021 and manufactured in 4 nm at Samsung. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-X2 architecture clocked at up to 3 GHz. Three more performance cores are based on the A710 but clock up to 2.5 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A510 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 6e modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5 memory with up to 3,200 MHz. 5G is now included in the chip with the Snapdragon X65 modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


11.00":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
