- Should you buy the Samsung Tab S8 Ultra or the M1 iPad Pro? I have been looking forward to this comparison ever since the Tab S8 Ultra was announced, because I wanted to see whether it can compete with the 12.9” M1 iPad Pro. There’s a lot to talk about, both have beautiful big displays, a ton of impressive features, I’ve used both tablets for watching video, social media, gaming, browsing the web, and for the general office-type work I do for managing Tech Gear Talk. And taking all of that into account, I gotta tell you - this is going to be a close one.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and the M12 iPad Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Hey dude,You didn't pin this comment. Please pin the comment so that it would be more convenient to find it
@@sampreethsunkaraneni Done!!! Thank you 🙏
Can you also make a video on hp envy x 360 ???
Am regular follower for ur honest reviews
Keep it up
Can u provide link for my
Samsung S7+ cover and other accessories ??
TQ in advance champ 🤠
Can you confirm the keyboard come with The tablet? Not find a mention on Best Buy.
Just a note on the refresh rate on the Tab S8 Ultra, you can use Bixby Routine to set the refresh rate on certain apps (like I put it at 60Hz for apps like TH-cam, Netflix or Kindle while leaving the 120Hz by default for stuff like notetaking, gaming)
I appreciate the tip Benjamin!
@@TechGearTalk thank you for the video too! I put in a pre-order for the S8U and am defs excited for it to come!!
that still isnt perfect when scrolling for comments
Or you can use an app Galaxy Max hz to make the refresh rate adaptive.
Nice thanks for the tip I got today the Samsung galaxy tab S8 ultra today at my local best buy and it was the very last one they had in stock 😀 👍
I ended up getting the 128gb version because that was the only one available i really wanted the 256gb version because it comes with 12gb ram instead of the 8gb ram on the 128gb
If they had the 512gb i would of got that one instead but that was sold out everywhere
I purchased the S8 Ultra. Nothing can match this tablet right now. For productivity is just outstanding. The stylus is just too good. The air command is just so so good. And the stylus is also a shutter for the camera and more. It's just so many things you can do with it. And the display is beyond amazing. Nothing can match this tablet right now.
How much is the battery life m
@@morningqueens7766 Under heavy use, 7-8 hours. Under normal use I normally get 12+. That's with the display around 30-40% brightness which is more than bright enough for average room lighting. I'll start streaming movies in the morning and even by late night I still have ~30% battery.
@@harshbarj thank you so much. I m planning on buying S8+ soon
Whats apps for drawing
@@keanuprincealtair nothing good
I was on the Apple ecosystem for a good 10 years.. Until just recently.. I will say that I've have been blown away over and over again with Samsung products.. The S21+ was my first Samsung and loved it. Just recently got the S22 Ultra & S8 Ultra Tablet and I'm in love! Just sold the last of my Apple products (IPad air gen 3 2019) peace Apple ✌️
Good choice to jump over. I use an ipad pro and a regular galaxy s21. I try not to have bias when it comes to hardware, but android is just much more flexible imo.
I always find myself having to find work arounds for things i do on the ipad that are just work by standard on android.
I'll give an example:
Sending an image within the discord app in android is 1 press to open gallery, and 1 press to select photo.
To do the same thing on ios, it's one press to open a selection from the gallery, another to press accept when you have highlighted the selection, then another press to open up the selected photos, and another press to send the photo from the selection.
Ios is such a tight system, that it makes you press twice as many if not three times as many times to get the same thing done pretty often and it just becomes annoying if you are doing these things very often.
Ios only users wont notice these things, and they will likely just take them as a given.
These limitations force you into using the device in a certain way, rather than building you own efficient methods to use the device.
You've probably experienced this first hand having switch now.
I have nothing against people using and thinking ioa is superior, and i can agree that some aspects of ios are simply just better, but damn it feels good to use a much more flexible os on the one device that, for me, should be as flexible as possible.
Damn 🔥 lemme show this 👆🏼 comment to my Friend Rn.
Hi did you switch a mackbook pro to a Samsung or other computer?
I was never into apple anything. Imagine with every release the older devices start malfunctioning. It's just greed at this point.
@@motivationjourneys no, I had an Ipad Air and got the Samsung Tab S8 ultra
I was quite underwhelmed when I first bought the iPad pro. Great screen and processor, but very limited in terms of multitasking. Even the Apple Pencil was underwhelming considering I had to pay for it separately from the iPad. Honestly, I can do more multitasking stuff on my Note20 Ultra vs the iPad.
Note 20 Ultra for LIFE....she's a monster..Right next to me all the time at night..
Because the pencil is for artists and creative professionals and not for remote controlling and multitasking?!
Agreed. I hate multitasking on my iPad pro. Only good thing is the hardware.
@@fmax30000 as a creative professional, multitasking is everything. I also like spen (the bigger one) better than apple pencil. Both stylus are really great though.
@@fmax30000 excuses excuses 😴 😒 🙄
Almost I watched all the comparisons between them on TH-cam and this is by far is the best and useful one yet . Thank you TGT. Waiting for your update about these two tablets ( after testing tab S8 ultra more and more). I used both apple and android, both are great however I feel android system in terms of productivity ( Microsoft office, documents ..etc) is more convenient and easier to use.
I feel exactly the same about productivity!
Totally agree .... I used them both heavily and I will give the edge to the tab when it comes to productivity especially using Microsoft office , Adobe, filing system .. ect.
I agree. This was probably one of the most unbiased comparison review I've seen.
Definitely Android for customisation. I've always had Samsung S Series tablets. I was given an iPad and was so disappointed at the lack of options.
To answer the inquiry around 2:31, consider getting Samsung's Good Lock app from the Galaxy Store. With in the app is a feature that lets you adjust the unresponsive deadzones on Samsung devices to prevent accidental touches 👍
it's a pity this apps is not available in every country....
@@_Digitalguy maybe you should use Iphone coz you don't know there's a Nice Lock app that can replace Good Lock...
@@_Digitalguy use fine lock or nice lock.
@@_Digitalguy Ye I find that to be very disappointing especially being that it's a Samsung app and you're using a Samsung device.
@@_Digitalguy You can clear the storage for the Galaxy store then connect to a VPN and find good lock in the Galaxy store
Unfortunately I returned my iPad pro only because how complicated/limited the multitasking ability is. I really wanted to keep it but a week later I gave up. Multitasking on the iPad was more of a hassle to me. I think If the user is more into multitasking, then they should get Android tablets not iPads.
Same here. I find the iPad Pro multitasking very difficult to use and so many apps don't even support it so it's a non-starter quite often.
it’s such a catch 22, better apps yet terrible multitasking. So glad that Android is taking tablet seriously again and I hope after Luma Fusion, other big apps will make their way to Android tabs
@@neelsn007 Same I need goodnotes and Procreate.
Yeah, I have an iPad Air 4 which I still really like , but apple’s multitasking definitely the only word I can think of to describe it is clunky.
You can sort of feel a bit of that iphone UI poking through , like on iPhones some of the times windows and some apps refuse to go into landscape , where as even when you pull down the toggle screen on a galaxy , it will go into landscape.
This is so accurate. I have both iPad Pro and Tab S7. Samsung has better multitasking. Meanwhile I always accidentally swipe the note feature on iPad while I didn’t meant to. Also multitasking on the iPad was more hassle. Also browsing and copy paste on Tab S7 is better than iPad. In conclusion I found myself using more Tab S7 for media consumption, social media, browsing, multitasking compared to only use iPad for playing games.
Hey TGT, I found there isn't audio on mic test on Tab S8 ultra, thx for the comparison anyway 😁
My bad. Thank you. I put a link in the pinned comment.
@@TechGearTalk there isn’t pinned comment :/
To be honest, I think the iPad Pro is better because the microphone is clear but the one on the tab s8 is a bit quiet.
So no mic in s8 😜
@@YoAmazingDucky169 lol I hope that was a joke its obvious he was having difficulty with audio 🤣
3:43 not sure if you know but you can actually just move apps from internal storage to sd card ..its an android feature release a few years ago and one ui makes it more easier when you just go to app info
You glossed through the screen sharing options. What resolutions and refresh rates do they support? I could only get the S7+ to support 1080p at 60hz. I was considering getting the S8 Ultra if it is better for that. Please let me know. Thank you.
I am looking forward to my S22 Ultra being able to interact with my Tab S8 Ultra. I am currently using an iPad Pro 3rd gen and the S22 Ultra. Last year I snagged the Surface Duo phone in hopes it would interface with my Surface Book but no such luck. Samsung swooped in and saved the day.
Now I need to buy both of these to compare for myself too. Thanks for the review!🔥
I really liked the high information density of this video along with the mixture of real-world, down -to-earth, common man's use case based analysis
Samsung Goodlock allows you to set a no touch zone to avoid accidental touches not sure if it’s supported by the Tab S8 at the moment
Appreciate it!
I have the tab s7+, the tab hasn't shown any sign of aging despite its old hardware from 2020, still smooth and if you include the multitasking you can use it forever until it breaks
Love the new Tab S8 Ultra. Good to see them actually talking with Companies to optimize apps for their tablets. Great review as always!
I've tried the Apple Pencil and I thought it was a waaaay more unpleasant experience compared to the S Pen on my Tab S7+. The S Pen is much smoother and as said in the video the tip is flexible. I think the S Pen is way superior and it's great that Samsung includes it in the package.
I have the Tab S7 and the only thing I hate about the S pen is the button placement. I’m always pressing it accidentally.
@@bear2507 happens with Apple pencil 2 too to be honest, pretty annoying but not a big deal really
The Apple Pencil is better for drawing while the S Pen is nicer to write with.
@@ia285 maybe shading but not drawing lines and being more precise
@@stephaned3072 eh, I disagree. I'd still recommend iPad over a galaxy tab for drawing. Plus Procreate exists on iPad.
But the S-Pen is still great, though.
Got my 8+ today. A very solid tablet. I've been multitasking for hours. It's so zippy it faded to the background while I setup shop. The no charger is crazy. I use my laptop charger for everything. Took my tablet from 39% to 100 in an hour and some change. I have a Samsung laptop. They even have Quick Share working beautifully. Sent video from my phone to the tablet effortlessly.
samsung REFUSES to send my tab 8 ultra. i pre ordered it extremely early. so early that they at first weren't offering the $350 book cover keyboard. when i found out that they were i cancelled the original order and put in a new order that includes the keyboard. well it's been absolute YEARS and that new order has been totally MIA. i called twice and they said everything is ok. but who knows.
I wish quck share was a multiplatform software on windows. I will not ever buy a Samsung laptop. I already have a beast laptop (well, a 2018 one at least) and I was trying to find ways to make it work but it just couldn't but between my Samsung phones, it was amazing to see how fast it was. It made me wish Android had something like this for other OEMs as well. wait, is there such a thing on Android?
@@sonofage As far as quick transfer from your phone to laptop, USB c to usb c is pretty Quick for wired connections.
does samsung provide the same longevity as apple
Great video. Hope you start adding time stamps in your video so I can easily go to whichever category I want to see in the review
What a fantastic and well-detailed review! Preferences aside, how would you compare S8 Plus vs. S8 Ultra? Which is the better contender?
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. I'm finishing up the S8+ vs S8 Ultra - it's not the next video, but the one after that one. Appreciate you being part of the channel!
i used the tab s7+ for a long time and i really like the look and feel of the tab s8 ultra, i also think the multitasking and s pen are so much better on the tab, but having an ipad for the last few months the apps are just so so much better. there are a ton of apps on the ipad that are developed for it and i think until the tab gets that same love it’ll always be a toss up between to two. both are great machines, and honestly i really like that the tab is getting so much better. they will give apple competition in the tablet field that they have owned for a long time.
The apps are the issue with android itself...
The devolpertool for android apps still have no tablets in mind, the only devices you could choose are smartphones and when google dont handle this with android it dont will become better in the near future...
Which one is better to study for a university student!?
@@layaleebadawi6273 depending what are u studying. If you’re arts student i guess ipad is better. But if you’re using for note taking, words, powerpoint then definitely ultra.
@@MsNurkay I'm a medical student and i really wanted to buy it but in my country it is very expensive so i will buy ipad🥲
There is a settings about @2:32 but is about the navigation buttons since samsung have a setting where you slide the edge of the screen as"back" and "home" when sliding mid bottom(just like any other device out there is now). You can adjust the sensitivity/width span of the 2 sides and bottom edges of the screen incase of accidental touches.
Always thought Apple would reign supreme with tablets. Glad to see Samsung excelling in that area as well.
They still do for artists
for drawing iPad still better
@@deepinside255 never said it wasn’t

Thanks Tech Gear. Talk Great comparison. Very informative. Am definitely going for the tab s8 ultra (sorry Apple). Can you share a link for the stands you are using for the tablets
Wait for new S8 stand to come out that won't block the screen. I have the stands he has and I'm waiting for a lower profile one
I am also with you
I have the 12.9" M1 iPad Pro. I absolutely love it. I especially love the new features with iPadOS 16.
Awesome review. Non biased. Direct. Informative. You got a new subscriber! Thanks!
I love your videos. You are so good at what you do! You cover everything, very helpful.
Don't know if this was asked. And I do appreciate the review as I'm looking into purchasing a new tablet. Question: How do you know the facial recognition is not as secure on the Samsung as on the iPad Pro?
Because Samsung’s face unlock is 2d using just the camera. iPad Face ID uses infrared dots and time of flight sensing to make a 3d map of your face. If you get the s8 just use the fingerprint reader.
The benefit of FaceID, it works in the dark, but it would get annoying if you planning to use it outside wearing a mask.
@@zect556 yeah the mask thing is true. They have implemented mask mode face id in the iphones but the iPads haven't been getting that feature.
The S8 ultra I think is the current top flagship tablet. Yes, both tablets have their pros and cons but for the price, I think you get more if you go for Samsung. Especially in the multitasking realm.
iPad Air 5 is cheaper and better. Though its only at 60hz but if you're fine with that, take it.
@@john10minutesago15 The IPad Air is cheaper but it’s is definately NOT better. If you compare different things between the two you’ll see
@@john10minutesago15 The S8 is a lot better value by far.
@@john10minutesago15 comparing a 10.8inch screen to a 14.6. Not in the same class.
@@john10minutesago15 - it is cheaper until you add in all the extras. Like a keyboard/case, pencil, any adaptor that you might need. Then Apple gets too $$$ fast.
How well does the ULTRA communicates with a MacBook Air in terms of file sharing and as an additional monitor? Thanks in advance and congrats on the amazing video.
Still using the S7, so just wondering, how does it compare in terms of screen length, like how it looks while in portrait , feels like a big phone, and is quite nice for some games meant to be played in that orientation.
Really enjoy your reviews! I had my finger poised over the buy button for the S8+ but after thinking about it, I switched to the regular S8. I already have an iPad Pro 12.9 and thought it would be nice to have a smaller premium tablet. Only possible downside is the S8 does not have an OLED screen.
I am looking forward to your reviews of the S8 and S8+ tablets in the near future. Hopefully I made the right choice.
I got the iPad pro m2 and I think ima switch to the s8 plus
how do you like them in comparison? I am currently looking into buying either (s8+ or ipad pro12.9 2021). Want to use it for uni, video editing and digital drawing.
@@angelinabnd well I only got iPad because of procreate. Other then that Apple will always be garbage to me because it's very limited and controlled. I ended up gettin the tab s8 plus and I like it alot better because well I can do alot more without feeling controlled. If you know about apk files then you know why android is better.
Excellent review. Does it make any sense to get the Tab S8 Ultra and keep my 11-inch iPad Pro M1? I’m in a bit of a dilemma to pre-order the gorgeous Tab S8 Ultra before the promo offer ends today in the UK (free keyboard, Disney+). I have the 11-inch iPad Pro M1 which I love and want to keep. I was hoping to get a laptop replacement with a bigger screen iPad/tablet as my current ASUS flip Zenbook (late 2020) is pretty useless with short lasting battery, less portability and a screen that is nowhere as crisp and bright as my very previous old 2011 MacBook Pro. I dislike the Windows user experience as well, plus an iPad/tablet would meet most of my user needs.
Stay with your 11”. In a few weeks, Apple may announce details on upcoming new iPads. From there, you can decide to keep or sell your 11”.
I think they are sufficiently different that keeping them both is fine. The S8U is very different from even the 12.9 Pro. Also having access to both OS's is very nice. One thing the TH-camrs aren't tracking is that the HP Elite Folio 13 keeps dropping down to $849-999. Depending on what you like about these ARM tablets, that one is also a good fit for some people. I use all three and can say that they all have something that they do better than the others.
Buy Chromebook tab it's more smooth like MacOS
Thanks for sharing your experience-helpful 😊
Thank you for the review👍
for ipad i like the speakers and app ratios, for samsung tab's the style and display plus cameras
Just to avoid that stampede away from the Mac, I doubt Apple will soon release a closely competitive iPad in screen ratio in an OLED panel. The letter box will stick around for a little longer, but the Tab S8 ultra font facing camera is quite a clever guide that actually makes the bezels hiding it more appealing overall, compared to other landscape margins.
@@panelsm7933thanks for the response, it was just a wish to be able one day to experience unlit deep blacks, those glowing letterbox bars are kinda distracting.
I'm sure non-Apple displays engineers have figured out how to maintain accuracy in their technique.
BTW, I did compare the experience with other devices, and the battery saving is amazing too.
Imagine seeing a floating image in the dark and you realize "Oh, this is me watching something," that's all.

The S8 Ultra destroys the ipad on all these aspects.
Nice review, indoors can you notice a significant difference in brightness? I know outside the ipad makes the tab s8 ultra look bad. But. How is it using it outdoors compared to the ipad
Learned alot during this video! Thank you
S-pen included in the box, sleeker design (imo), SD card slot, better software for multitasking, Dex, OLED display. Need I sya more which is the better option ?
Edit: oh and a much better front facing camera. Like miles better
I like how you completely ignore the fact that the s8 ultra is 500€ more than the iPad Pro for a half of the performance
@@Arkulust 500 more? 1250 for 128gb on the iPad without the apple pencil vs 1350 for the 256gb included with the s-pen.
@@Arkulust performance is futile if the software can't take advantage. It's a blown up iphone, not a multitasking beast like the tab s8 ultra
@@jamescassar5348 if your going for the 12'9 model, the 11' one is 450, 899 vs 1350
@@Arkulust that's why Samsung offers the plus and the regular with the same features but with a toned down display, same chip and multi tasking prowess. If we're comparing ipad pro to the ultra, you have to use the 12.9" as it's the biggest and baddest of the bunch hence why I used that in the comparison
I love the Ultra, and am so tempted by it, but I feel it's just a bit too unwieldy for carrying around so think I'll go for the S8 plus
How was your experience with video editing on s8? I am usingipad m1 pro and Lima fusion and not sure if it works as good if I switch over to S8.? Thanks.
Very well done on the mic test!
Just a note, the mic test on the s8 ultra have no audio
Even if I buy apple it's repair cost or replacement is insanely expensive. I can get another entry level pad in the one year repair insurance hence Samsung has lot of edge over apple. Apple score in hardware any given day and OS for those who prefer more security.
I’m glad you mentioned activating with the thumb inside inadvertently. I that happens with me all the time. Seems like the screen is more sensitive now, or else I’m just getting more careless.
Hey, great review! That comparison was pretty great. I just wish that there was a lot more in depth review towards the settings and what you can do. I know you covered some of it but there are some just other things that I like to look at but there's just me. Either way I. Subbed
Thanks for the video. 5:10 I also prefer the iPad's aspect ratio, especially for reading textbooks. Most textbooks fit well in 4:3 aspect ratio.. it's about the size of a 8/5" x 11" piece of paper which is nice as well. Great for magazines.
Thank you! Been watching your reviews and they're really informative and honest. I'm wondering if you're gonna compare Galaxy tab S8, S8 plus, and S8 ultra soon. Keep it up!
Coming soon!
@@TechGearTalk Looking forward to it!! 🥳
does samsung provide the same longevity as apple
If you illustrate, there is one issue. Having gone back to an iPad- it’s the screen ratio. In landscape mode, I kept wishing the Galaxy Tab was taller. It became a big irritation (great for movies, though)
Could you please timestamp your video? I cannot find the battery life comparison between Samsung S8 ultra and iPad Pro m1.
May I ask you if in the next reviews you can add also pdf management, especially for students: how is reading pdf and taking notes on them with such big screen?
Buy s8 plus better
Samsung Notes that comes with the tablet is a great PDF management app, you won't be disappointed.
@@flood2k3 I agree.
Pick samsung. PDF management is 'difficult' on ipad. Trust me, I have both.
pdf management is fine on ipad too. i use it as a student with no issues. and note taking on a ipad is really good too, especially due to its aspect ratio vs the samsung. but both tablets are good for both
I just got an Ultra a week-ish ago and I've been BLOWN AWAY by it so far. People love to poo poo Android as a tablet OS and it's like, "have you used one in the past couple years?" It's REALLY good. Total multitasking ANIMAL!!
Can we connect tab s8 ultra with our pc as an extended screen and use s-pen on it for drawing etc? Asking this because i do lots of photo editing on Photoshop, and photoshop is not available on play store!!!!
Excellent video. Only missing one thing.
Battery life comparison - playing standard 1920x1080 video should cover the basic battery load. Also for samsung, in both tablet and Dex mode. I'm still unsure what I'll prefer, but I might end up making room on my production table for the Tablet as a third screen.
Thank you for this video. I just pre-ordered the S8 Ultra minutes before I saw this video in my subscriptions. What a stroke of luck. I was shocked when Samsung offered me 600.00 for my S7+ as a trade-in. AND the free book/keyboard cover and shipping and handling. What a deal!
I took advantage of the same deal. Looks like mine won't ship until 3/30/2022 (ouch, lol)
Same bro gave me $350 for my s6, I'll take it!
I bought a galaxy s9 for $120 on ebay for the $400 enhanced trade in deal. Paid a total $580 for the s8+ lol
Was going to get it but I'ma keep my tab s7 puls got the z fold 3 to wish I would had waited for the s22 ultra
@suzanne c, wondering if you received your tab 8 ultra yet??
Given how thin the new Galaxy Tab S8 is, I’d like to see how it would perform in a bend test.
Also, after having used Apple’s 7.9” iPad Mini, 9.7” iPad 5, 10.5” iPad Air 3, and 11” M1 iPad Pro, I am very curious what using a larger tablet is like. I definitely prefer the aspect ratio of the 12.9” iPad Pro as it’s far nicer for multitasking, especially on a smaller screen.
Why do you feel the iPad aspect ratio is better for multitasking? I find the opposite to be the case. Split screen on S8U basically gives you two iPad Minis. It is so much better than split screen on an iPad 12.9, which gives you two skinny windows. The S8U is the first tablet I've owned where I can have a book or paper on the left and OneNote on the right and it doesn't feel cramped at all.
@@ruzaroos Fair enough! I’m using an 11” iPad Pro, and for that size at least I find the extra height to be very useful.
@@ruzaroos Most people do not multitask in portrait mode so the iPad Pro split-screen is just fine for prosumers. Min is permanently attached to the keyboard.
@@andyH_England I was talking about landscape split screen. The S8U being 16x10 gives you two 8x10 aspect ratio apps. The iPad being 4x3 gives you two 6x9 apps. The difference in horizontal width of those apps is quite noticeable. I realize the iPad is fine but it is certainly not better for horizontal split screen. The other advantage of the S8U is that you can hold the tablet in portrait and split the screen horizontally to end up with 2 10x8 apps or any arbitrary combination of sizes. The S8U is basically the size of Legal paper. You can partition two apps so that you have one running at 8.5"×11" with a 8.5"×3" in app underneath. This is a very good layout for reading and light note taking underneath.
Jerryrigeverthing did a bend test and it passed! Took Apple years to figure out how to make a thin tablet durable, Samsung doesnt have that issue!
thank you for the video, it was so informative
Is there a reason you're zooming in on the video on the S8 and leaving the iPad at the full image? Is it to make the bars seem worse on the iPad?
The way you described the feeling of writing using the Apple Pencil and Samsung S-Pen is just Spot On! I have tried both and 100% completely agree with you.
which one is better?
@@KamaloExp there both amazing in there own ways I love em both but I like the feel of s pen way better in my opinion
Please please do a comparison between the normal Tab S8 and the iPad Mini. For the more budget oriented people.

It's the first time that Samsung pushes Apple tablets to the limits...I own an iPad pro 2021 (apple fan on tablets, but Samsung fan on mobiles) and I received tabs8 ultra two days ago...honestly right now I don't know where ipadpro is...the display of tab s8 ultra is massive...and I think for tablets the most important thing is the display...
Update on the bending: it won't! It is in fact quite significantly more ridged than the iPad
Great video & very informative! I need to buy that stand he uses for both tablets. Anyone know the brand?
Such a good recommendation. Thanks
The video we've been waiting for!
Been using the Tab S8+ and my only real gripe is the relatively dim display compared to the iPad. I pre-ordered the Tab S8+ and the total was *$330* after an iPhone 8 Plus trade-in, education discount, and 10% discount from their customer service.
IMO Apple made the right call going MINI LED vs OLED as it's easier to drive higher brightness in the panels.
I will barely use the tablet but couldn't pass up the $500 trade-in credit for an old iPhone 8 Plus and other discounts.
Also their pre-order promos end today for anyone looking to take advantage of it.
@@BobTheWhiteBoy Where did you trade in your phone? And how did you get education discount? Nice price, man!
Wait how were you able to do trade in with the educational discount? I tried it with Unidays and it had a exclusive shop in the Samsung website where I wasn't able to do a trade in.
ayo if you don't want the tablet I will gladly buy it from you for 350$, i would love to take notes on such a big beautiful display

Also the new s pen has lot of new features like swipe and gesture controls... anyways love ur videos 😁❣️
First thanks for the tutorial!! Would the samsung tab s8 ultra also be good to work with wordpress, elementor etc.. so for designing websites?
Ty, great review!
I only wish Samsung offered a 4:3 screen ratio tablet as I rarely watch video on a tablet, the added width for drawing does it for me. I like the S-Pen much more, you can feel it's Wacom technology, just nicer to draw with.
Galaxy Tab aspect ratio is so much better for media consumption.
Plus One UI 4 is an absolute game changer for Samsung.
For background I have Apple desktop, iPads and iPhones in my house.
Bro did u follow up on this guy , he's saying he's got something for u right ?
Really nice work. But what kind of green foil is this to make speaker visible?
hmm great review. I am not seeing the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra deal including the keyboard with the price of the tablet that you mentioned. The link you have has the price of the keyboard at an extra $350. did it end?
Samsung does allow you to disable touch on the edges. The Goodlock app lets you do that and so much more.
Wow thank you
Indeed thanks bro
Personally, I prefer the apple pencil over the S8 ultra’s pen due to the unnatural weight (wish the S8 pen is a bit heavier so i could have more control with my lines). I’m glad to see samsung going to the right track! But for now i’m sticking with my iPad. If they bring more apps to android for creative professionals, I would gladly buy a samsung one! (Can’t pass on expandable storage)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the weight of the stylus - and it's impact on your line control.
Kindly provide the download link for the iPad wallpaper??
In android you can install apps extension in browser by kiwi browser but on ipad there isnt allow that in her safari browser .
I need answer about this issue how or when or can ipad safari browser allow this issue in the future or in the update .
Like amazon extension that really helpful or what a matter extension to save us time and effort and management (productor ,merch informer .etc ..)
14:10 Node and Alight which are on both platforms are still better apps for actual editing, especially node with actual time remapping, curves, motion tracking, time interpolation, etc.
15:11 faster 45W that isn't really always 45W, but rather a mix of 20-25W and 45W for a few mins, also with Xiaomi's 120 charger I saw as reported by iMazing charging speeds of 43-44.9W, mostly staying at 30W tho
Do alight sometimes lags on s8 ultra or it works smooth?
this is by far the most unbiased comparison ive seen thus far
I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you for being part of the channel!
This vid showed on my timeline today so I watched it. My Tab S8 Ultra is linked to my S21 Ultra phone and I use it as my phone at home. I find I use it more than my TV for media, specifically when everyone in my home is sleeping, because I'm up till 4AM with my crazy work schedule. I also use it for drawing. I'm laughing because I've been using the Ultra since I got it in March and totally forgot it had a notch. Hopefully by the time the Tab S10 comes out it will have a brighter screen but it's still beautiful.
Android now does let you set app data and storage on a case by case basis to be either internal or on a micro sd card. Also the Samsung self powered SSD allows for super fast data transfer rates, and with AES256 built in.
It’s crazy how much more the iPad Pro captures when u r on a zoom call. It seems to capture more of your warmer colors. Did anyone else notice that?
Yes. Ipad pro is much better
Thanks. When you are comparing specs, it would be nice if you showed both specs on the screen at the same time, side by side. It makes it easier for us to retain and compare the numbers.
I was thinking the same thing
Hi, I have a question, do you know if I could use adobe creative cloud? because i wanna buy the ipad or the tab but idk if this apps are compatible. Thank you, and have a nice day!!!
LOL drive to survive at the beggining.
I cancelled my order on the tab s8 ultra... The display isn't bright enough..400nits on a top tablet is rubbish..I returned my tab s7 plus for this reason..hdr mkv 4k video looked terrible compared to my iPad pro
Its an oled display oled display arent bright enough same for oled tvs
I dont own the s8 but cant you just turn the brightness all the way up if you wanna burn your eyes?
@@zerbutterftw not when you're sat outside.. Ok if you live in a basement
@@thewonderofyou1 uhh...
@@zerbutterftw you want to burn your eyes. Look at the sun... Not at this tablet.. Don't you know that screens look a different brightness when looking inside against outside..🤣🤣
I really want one feature that apple should release in IOS16 that now there also a sperate OS like DEX which would literally be sick and nice. Also which will help in multi tasking
Keep dreaming, apple will never bring that
@@swagger6166 ik ik
I kinda hate the concept of dex but better multitasking would be nice.
@Nielsf2704 if uouve ever tried dex you wouldn't say that. It really is amazing. I even use dex from my s21 ultra wireless to my 75 inch TV to view content and web browsing and a host of other things that I would do on my laptop.
@@dreadlockscayman I have tried dex with my s21u on an external monitor too, but I just prefer the iPad's more minimal simplistic UI. It works perfectly fine for tablet as well as when paired with a keyboard. Dex is really nice but I noticed some apps to not even work properly on dex anymore while in the regular mode, I experienced no issues.
Been using the Tab line ever since the first one, and love them, got the Ultra and it's phenomenal.
Bro, this review was excellent 👌🏾 👏 🙌
The apple pencil has way less functionality than the s pen expecially Considering the price range
They are both good pens, no need to fanboy one over the other.
@@bear2507 Even ignoring functionality which is what this thread is about (OP wasn't fanboying at all, he just stated a fact, more functionality and less price, if you don't like such statement I'm afraid the one fanboying is another even if trying to pass it as neutral), I'd say EMR actually should legitimately be favored by us customers, mind you, for it is much better for us. Active pens are a cash grab for companies, Wacom himself included (AES. Which of course they don't use in their own premium pen displays, why would that be?), it has been the re-inventing of the wheel all over the place.
Even if they are good, and the Apple pencil regarded as the best out of them, EMR still holds a lot of pros over them, and being cheaper is the reason why Samsung can throw the pens in the package. They're also cheaper at the time of replacement and you can find a lot more of third party options if it suits you better.
but Apple Pencil is still better for artists because of its better latency and pressure monitoring sensors
@@nekogaming8461 Sure. Again, that's why premium pen displays use Apple pencils/active pen and not EMR ones at all. Hell, EMR pen don't even have pressure sensitivity it seems!
Sarcasm aside and although kinda irrelevant in real life performance since that depends on the software used a lot but, both the apple pencil and the S-pen were on 9ms latency IIRC, Surface pen 2 got theirs to 21 but they're still the worst of the bunch. The S-Pen dropping it below 3ms this time around means they're the ones with better latency right now. So no, none of your points are actually a victory for the apple pencil, the only pro is subjective feeling which I can agree can feel better using it for some, but EMR is still the preferred and objectively better input by a lot, just not known since most people in the industry can't care about tech specs and it's not like they'll get something other than EMR on a dedicated pen display.
@@gerardopadilla2666 go watch max tech's video about iPad Pro vs Tab S8+. they compared latencies
The Galaxy Tab Ulrtra's pen is Waaaaay better than the Apple pencil. As an artist who traditionally uses Wacom Cintiqs to do my work, the pen on the Galaxy Tab's feel is very similar to the Wacom pen, with the divited nib. It feels smoother and strokes are executed better than the hard as hell Apple pencil tip.
Very good video, exactly what I was looking for, thanks very much!
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Great video, what stand are you using?
For maybe note taking and drawing, I would probably go for the s8 ultra as it comes with a bigger screen size and battery, it makes the screen look more clear and simple, the work gets done easily and I would also probably go for the s8 ultra for multitasking as with the keyboard, it looks like a laptop to me or almost it gives the look of a laptop with the keyboard attached. But I do like how the s8 ultra comes along the included s pen inside the box so you don't have to spend extra unlike the iPad.
Great comparison, but it looks like the audio was cut out on the Ultra during the mic test. I couldn't hear anything.
Thank you, and you're right. I put a link in the pinned comment.
if you're worried about bezels, you can also get a case...
I do think your idea of a customizable dead zone on the edges is good.
👍👍 Very good review!
🙂🙂 Thank you!
