Samsung's Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra features a sweet 14.6-inch (2960 x 1848) Super AMOLED 120Hz display for highly immersive viewing. But that's not all! Samsung DeX emulates a desktop experience on your tablet, with Microsoft 365 integration for editing documents just like you would on the best business laptops and best 2-in-1 laptops. Bonus: Samsung's new S Pen accurately mimics the realistic feel of a pen gliding across paper, which should give you a boost in daily productivity chores.
If you could pop open the the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra's aluminum hood, you'd find a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of microSD-expandable storage. While we didn't test this Ultra model (yet!), in our 11-inch Galaxy Tab S8 review, we were impressed by its bright, vivid display, solid performance and S Pen. Battery life was top notch, too, at nearly 13 hours in our Laptop Mag Battery test of constant web browsing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness. When the stardust settled, we gave the Galaxy Tab S8 an overall rating of 4 out of 5-stars, not to mention our Editor's Choice award. We expect the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to carry on the galactic legacy of excellence.
At 1.27 pounds and 11.2 x 7.3 x 0.2 inches, the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus is markedly more portable than its competitors. It's lighter and thinner than Apple's 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1.5 pounds, 11.04 x 8.46 x 0.25 inches) and Microsoft's Surface Pro 7 Plus (1.8 pounds, 11.5 x 7.9 x 0.3 inches).
