In our Galaxy Tab S8 review, we were mesmerized by its bright, vivid display and solid performance, and included the S Pen. We were also impressed by its high capacity battery which lasted roughly 13 hours in our lab. That's where we put it through continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness. We gave the Galaxy Tab S8 an overall rating of 4 out of 5-stars and our Editor's Choice award.
In one test, we navigated between 30 Google Chrome tabs with a YouTube video running and there was no lag swiping between tabs.
