Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Review

Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Review. After my first impressions of it being too big for just for tablet only use and better suited as a laptop but was I wrong? This review covers battery life, charge time, One UI 4.0 performance, Genshin Impact gaming performance with FPS meter, S-Pen, and much more!

00:00 - Intro
00:51 - One UI 4.0 performance with FPS meter
03:27 - Battery life at 120hz & charge times at 45W
05:10 - Benchmarks Antutu and storage
06:01 - Gaming FPS performance & thermals with Genshin Impact
07:55 - Youtube playback and those 4 x AKG tuned speakers
09:22 - Camera samples both video and stills
10:58 - The 14.6" SAMOLED 120hz screen isn't so bright
12:43 - S-Pen active stylus
13:42 - Still having fingerprint reader issues?
14:20 - Final verdict with Pros and Cons

I'm a pretty unique use case, but I am really excited for this size in portrait to read sheet music all day as a music teacher. I use the S7+ now and it's very good but a bit small to read. Thanks for the review.

I remember when I got the tab s7 plus in the beginning, the fingerprint reader was Shaky, but once it got more updates, it got better and accurate.

Got mine yesterday here in the UK after waiting for 1 month after pre order. I love it so much and I can't put it down. The screen is amazing but I still feel that it needs to be bigger, maybe 15 inches:)

One of the best critical review... covered every aspect...not like other, products promoting channels

[ovrkill]

This is why I love this channel. It's the only one that does in-depth review of devices.

I can't wait for the follow up review with keyboard. It would be great to review it using Dex and as a general purpose laptop.

Im going to go out on a limb and say that as an accessory for a college student this would be great. Really comfortable and large screen for note taking apps like Notability, Flexcil, or Noteshelf and big screen that is easy on the eyes to read the fonts on all those digital college textbooks.

Thank you for your review. I was sceptical at your first video now i think i am going to buy this.

[eduard]

I don't understand why the refresh rate is not adaptive. I feel like that could save some great battery life

[bailey]

Where are you shooting your video from? Beautiful!!

[MedusaJellyFish]

Thank you for changing your mind. I'm expecting my baby on the 25th, hopefully it gets here on time. I really can't wait to have it in my hands. 🌷🌻

[cnfusd]

wow that front facing camera is amazing!

[Andre_M_D]

Nice tablet and excellent review . I still love my tab s7 plus 256gb. I don't see enough of an update to bother upgrading. I did order the s22 ultra 256gb and should have it by tomorrow. I can't wait.

I definitely feel like this can be practical for some people but definitely not for travel. Thanks for sharing all your findings 🙌🏽

[milaraspa]

Look forward to seeing the keyboard and laptop wise performances... Cheers.

10:25 that scenery is a bigger flex than playing your own videos. That view is incredible!

[saifultrains]

That’s the best mic quality on a tablet. Footage looks so good too.

[kennethsundnes]

I am watching this video in 4k on a Tab S7+, just pick that quality manually. YouTube wants to save bandwidth costs. Also tip: no need to hit the power button to sleep the screen, you can double tap on the home screen to sleep, and double tap again on a black sleep screen to wake it. Might be a setting. Ref, your finger sensor test.

Try using a good Bluetooth mouse (Logi MX Anywhere etc) even without a keyboard, it's fantastic. Better than Windows due to 120hz. Scroll wheel, right clicking etc in chrome. Magic.

Dark mode also looks slicker?

Finally enable Atmos on the speakers, it's the best surround sound I have heard. Audio comes from speakers around you for real.

With android 13, there's a highly likely chance we could see a very usable version of Windows 11 running soon.
