Keyboard case not included Some software trouble

“The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ is the best Android tablet you can buy. The only thing holding it back is software, and that's mostly not Samsung's fault.”

Gorgeous display

A 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio would be better for productivity

Excellent performance and battery life ; Helpful productivity features ; S Pen included ; Bright AMOLED display

Keyboard cover and charger add to already high cost

Fantastic looking design ; Lightweight and portable ; Great stylus responsiveness ; One UI and Android work well together ; Great performance ; Decent speakers, still not as good as iPad Pro but very much improved ; Good battery life

Thinnest and lightest tablet in its class ; 12.4-inch OLED display is fast and beautiful ; Samsung's One UI and DeX interface makes tablet and laptop use workable ; Offers the best stylus experience on a tablet to date ; S Pen included in the box ; 4K...

Lacks a taller 4:3 or 3:2 display ; Lack of tablet optimised Android apps ; No headphone jack ; Expensive ; The keyboard cover is an essential but exorbitantly priced extra ; No charger included in the box
