Those looking for a tablet that is great for work and play can now have a giant-size Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. This, however, comes for a hefty price, but considering the powerful chipset, S pen, and great display, the price tag is worth it. 

Previously, Apple had the title of the biggest tab manufacturer with their 12.9-inch iPad Pro but the title has now been shifted to Samsung with their 14.6-inch display in the S8 Ultra tab.

Pros

Who would have thought in modern times we could have a laptop-sized tablet? The massive screen lets you sketch using the S Pen stylus and is great for note-taking. Moreover, you can view multiple files at once on a large screen. Also, you can set up a movie night on this portable device anywhere you like. 

Cautions

We’d suggest you purchase a protective case with the tab because you would not want this fragile item to break and cost you a bank. In fact, the same case will help you keep the magnetic S Pen safe too.

Specifications

In terms of specs, this tablet is powered by the super powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. The display features AMOLED screens. Plus, you even have the 5G connectivity feature available on this device.

Price

There are different configurations available in the market for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The higher the configuration the heftier the price tag. The lowest configuration price starts at £999 for 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage with Wi-Fi connectivity. Then you have a 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage variant which retails for £1099 for the one with WiFi connectivity and £1249 for 5G. However, the highest configuration model retails for £1399 for 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage with 5G connectivity.

Build and Design

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is huge bearing dimensions of 326 x 208 x 5.5mm. The chassis is thin and the back of the tab is coated in glass, which is why the device is fragile. Also, the tab is fairly heavy, weighing 726g for the Wi-Fi variant and 728g for the 5G variant. As for color availability, it comes only in Graphite, sort of a dull grey color.

In terms of connectivity, ports, and slots, you get the USB-C port, SIM tray, and three-pin connector for accessories. There is also a bump for the camera featuring two lenses and a magnetic streak to attach the S Pen stylus too. Moreover, there are four speakers with great bass and treble.

Display

Now the main feature of the S8 Ultra Tab is its 14.6” screen, which is bigger than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and bigger than some laptops. That said, apart from sketching and working this device is great for entertainment as well. You can enjoy sharp images with a resolution of 1848 x 2960 and smooth motion graphics with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The colors are bold with stark contrast, thanks to the AMOLED screen.

Battery Life

The gigantic screen gets powered by an 11,200mAh battery. The device gets fully charged in merely 83 minutes with a 45W charger. Also, only 16% of battery drains when playing media for 90 minutes. That means you get good battery timing for streaming videos, writing documents or editing photos/videos without the battery dying.

Should you buy this?

If you want a massive screen display with a portability option, a dual front-facing camera for video calls, and enjoy using the stylus for sketching or note-taking, then S8 Ultra is for you.

Why you should not buy this?

If you think the bigger screen of the tablet might be an issue to be carried around easily and you fear that handling it carelessly might break it, then you should not buy this. The device is super-fragile and can easily be broken into two with bare hands. Hence, it requires extra care when carrying it in your backpack. Use extra cushioning or invest in a protective case with the device. Also, this device is expensive, definitely considering how fragile it is, better not to spend your serious cash on it, if you cannot be careful.
