It’s never looked more like just walking around with a monitor, than it does now. I’m on board with this.

You didn't mention it but i think it is important that you can use it as a second screen for a windows PC or laptop. Which basicly means you can use it as a drawing tablet or just overall as a touch input for your pc which i think is very handy

7:38 Actually ... As an artist, the feature of being able to change the opacity of a window is AMAZING. Samsung really has put in the thought and effort in making their tablets useful for artists.

I've always felt tablets were underrated by most people, so I'm happy samsung is still pumping out decent tablets

Man… for so long, till about the S6, there was almost no reason to get an Android tablet over an iPad, the S7 brought more reason- but this S8, now this is an iPad competitor. Real excited to see the future of tablets with this level of competition! Great video Marques!

I feel like editing photos on this would be a dream

Samsung literally puts so much effort in their tablet products. It's just really sad that so many developers only develop for Ipad. Like Pro create or Good notes and Notability ect. I hope Samsung can work with those developers to make the 2 platforms equaly viable. :)

As a planner and an organised person, I really recommend this tablet honestly. The thing is that it doesn't work with other developers such as Goodnotes. Also, it's great for studying too with its large screen

S-pen included. I like this "computer" it seems very versatile and I am a fan of Android. As long as it is available carrier free, I think it is a slick, portable system.

A big thing you left out was that the pen does not need to be charged to be used as a pen unlike the Apple pencil. Which needs to be charged all the time to be used. The only time you need it to be charged is if you want to access the Bluetooth features on the pen.

6:37 with Samsung Labs you can scale Instagram to how you want it so it looks more like it should. But also you can put it in a properly scaled Pop up window & it'll remember that size next time you open it in that window. Samsung has done a great job working around those issues that other Android tablets have.

I've been fully in the apple ecosystem for 6+ years now, with many iMacs, MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, Apple TVs, mac mini, etc., but I picked the S8 Ultra up recently because the iPad Pro 12.9" is just too small for what I mostly use a tablet for: media consumption, including comics. Especially because the iPads have a 4:3 ratio while this is a wider 16:10 ratio, which makes video even wider than just the screen size increase. It's pretty much perfect for comic as it feels finally the right size. Highly recommend this tablet as I've loved using it since I got it. No problems with brightness in sunny rooms although I haven't used it outdoors.

11 Minutes of pure reviewing, point to point, awesome work.

[AstridNyx]

As a person who already has a S7+, I will not be getting it, but this tablet genuinely sounds like a dream. I love how far android tablets have come!

[konkelkent]

Go in to the developer options, and change the animations etc to 0.5 instead of 1, and the animations/transitions will be even faster, it actually looks insane. And when u have the Keyboard, just add a wireless mouse, and use DEX, thats how i do it. its amazing tbh

[Andrejsoft]

As about the brightness, it can go up to 600 nits if you turn on auto- brightness (without it is indeed limited to 400 nits), however with HDR content the measured peak brightness is 800 nits (you need to activate the bright video mode in the advanced featues for this) which is insane as most of the modern OLED TV-s can't reach this level. So yeah, screen- ways it is a real monster. The rest of the review is great ;)

[joaovitorvieira]

I think that dex will evolve a lot in the next few years, maybe a bigger partnership with google to create an even better UI to turn it into essentially a chromebook, because this is what i feel that android lacks, a good UI for tablets, and dex is just the thing that can improve them to try to reach the popularity of the ipads

[MrCooper]

A 15” screen? Wow, amazing how our grandparents had smaller TV screen size in the 40s.

Good to see that there are still good Android tablets, even though Im an iPad guy since 2010.

[sainteagle]

Finally. It feels like the Android tablet space is picking up again and we're getting some genuine iPad alternatives as of late. First the Xiaomi Pad and Lenevo's tablet and now this. Very excited for Android's future on tablets, I really hope Google and other manufacturers dedicate more resources to improving the overall experience going forward.

I have been using this for 6 months, it is amazing in general, great as a second monitor for my desktop setup.
