What's the Tab S8U like compared to the Tab s7Plus

[Blues Fan]

I guess related since they're trying to intertwine the two, Samsung marketing.

Is it worth the $$$$$$ and upgrade over the Tab S7 Plus? I use the S7 Plus for my business and enjoy it. Everytime I get a tablet though I never use it much because I whip out my phone.

I don't know about the Tab S7 but I was coming from a Tab S6 and hated using it in comparison to a flagship phone because of the 60Hz screen and general sluggish feel of it (again, in comparison to flagship phones). I bought the Tab S6 about a couple months before the Tab S7 came out and right away it felt a couple generations behind the flagship phones that where out at the time (I think I was on the S20 Ultra) so I really wanted a tablet that felt more on par with a flagship phone so in my case, coming from a Tab S6 the S8 Ultra was definitely worth it. In fact, if not for the pre-order bundle deal with the Tab S8U/S22U I might of even skipped upgrading my phone this year but the with the combo deal it was a no brainer to upgrade even if I didn't really need the new phone.

One thing I think I remember about the Tab S7 is that the display didn't have as good of deep blacks as the Tab S6 or something to that effect, it's been a while since looking at Tab S7 reviews so I might not remembering correct there. But I would say that if there's not something specific that you're looking to get out of a new tablet like I was (wanting a 120Hz display instead of a 60Hz display, faster performing closer to that of flagship phones, and a larger screen for media consumption) it's probably not worth it. Research what you would like the Tab S7 to do better and see if the Tab S8 offers a better experience to what you're looking for. I completely couldn't deal with a 60Hz display anymore when my phone was 120Hz and my PC is 144Hz that 60Hz display just drove me nuts lol.

I don’t know about the tab 7, but I have the base 8 ultra and the screen is simply amazing. It is fast and amazing and Dex really give’s it that desktop feel.

My chief complaint is the keyboard case that samsung bundles is not something you can use anywhere like I am right now with my iPad in bed. It really needs to be on a desk or table, not a lap or when you are chilling in bed. I hope a 3rd party comes out with a case/keyboard form factor that addresses this.

So- depending on how you are using your 6, this may or may not be an issue.

I picked it up during the pre sale because I figured I could use it as a better streaming device when in bed or around the house- and the screen size and width is absolutely everything you would want or desire.

It's a tad bit faster. I have both the 7+ and 8+ (from what im seeing, the Ultra is just a big S8+) right now comparing them before sending my 7 in. They're identical in looks and size, so much so that cases and SP are interchangeable.

The screen on the 8 is a smidge better, brighter. There's a new setting where you can make it very dim for night use. Scrolling seems to be a bit faster, and I find web pages load a tinch faster.

The front camera is a knock out. My vidoe calls are very clear, similar to those on the S22U.

Spen is smoother. It really does feel faster. You can actually see the lower latency if you put them side by side and compare. Never better.

I paid around $300 with the trade. If it were more expensive, I may have passed. The S7+ still holds its own very well. It's similar to the N20U vs the S22U comparison.

I went with the S8plus since I didn't need cases or chargers that's where my preoder credits went to. Going to sell the S7+ and almost part for the phone and tablet.

Didn't get the Ultra because it looked to big for lap/bed use. And that Notch!! Wtf
