The Galaxy Tab S8 Plus was intended to be a second-level tablet in the Galaxy S8 line of tablets. The specs are similar to that of the S8 Ultra, but the Tab S8 Plus costs $200 less. This tablet features a screen that is 2.2 inches smaller than the S8 Ultra, but both models have the same Super AMOLED display and refresh rate.
Included with the purchase of this tablet is Samsung’s S Pen that provides a realistic paper-on-pen experience. In addition, you can add the $229 keyboard accessory to the tablet, turning it into a DeX-powered 2-in-1 that you can use to hammer out emails, crush work reports, or watch your favorite YouTube channel.
Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus
ZDNET Editor June Wan labels this Samsung tablet as the “best Android tablet on the market.”
“The Plus size, which is armed with similar hardware and software features as the Ultra, currently starts at $829 on Samsung’s website,” he said. “Save for the extra front-facing camera and larger display and battery size, you’re getting a near-identical, flagship tablet experience for hundreds of dollars less.”
Though photography on a tablet isn’t incredibly popular, Samsung has included a 13MP standard camera along with a 6MP ultra-wide camera so you can capture all the content your creative heart desires. Additionally, when playing back videos, you can listen through the tablet’s 4 AKG Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos technology for high-quality entertainment.
