Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+

“The Galaxy Tab S8 Plus is a solid evolution of last year’s Tab S7 Plus, and in view of the scarce competition in the segment of premium tablets the Korean manufacturer did the bare minimum required to create the best Android tablet of 2022. The Galaxy Tab S8 Plus’s only real competitor is the slightly cheaper Lenovo Tab P12 Pro. If you find the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus’s display too dim to be used outdoors or its battery life to be a deal breaker the Lenovo tablet can be a great alternative. Having said that you need to keep in mind that Lenovo’s Precision Pen 3 cannot hold a candle to the excellent stylus experience offered by Samsung’s S Pen. When it comes to sustainability, Samsung is the only Android tablet OEM with a five year long update cycle, something we are hitherto only accustomed to from Apple.”

“If you’re looking for a content consumer or a Netflix box, there are any number of tablets that will fit that bill for far less money. But if you want a tablet that can work and play with you, and you want it to be Android, this is the best there is.”

“The Galaxy Tab S8+ emulates the Galaxy Tab S7+ in its design while adding scratch-proof materials, faster connectivity with optional 5G, improved S Pen responsiveness, a vastly improved selfie camera, and game-changing software upgrades for using several apps at once. While somewhat tricky to hold, it's much lighter than the Tab S8 Ultra and iPad Pro while offering plenty of power. Just be prepared to buy a fast charger and keyboard cover on top of the high price.”

“The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus hits the sweet spot when it comes to design, performance, and flexibility. This is a powerful slate with an excellent widescreen display, an included S Pen, and plenty of extras to entice would-be buyers, though it hits the ceiling of what’s possible on Android tablet software and mobile processors.”
