Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 design and software features
The Galaxy Tab S8 with Samsung's first-party keyboard for it
The base Galaxy Tab S8 and its bigger brother - the Tab S8 Plus are quite similar in design to their predecessors. We have the same premium glass and metal build and the same magnetic S Pen storage spot on the back, next to a very similar pill-shaped camera module.
However, the big Galaxy Tab S8 ultra is different, with a signature notch at the top center of its display for the front camera, clearly designed with video calling in landscape in mind. As mentioned, the Tab S8 Ultra is also huge at 14.6 inches, yet is also the thinnest in the Tab S8 series at just 5.5mm.
In terms of software, all tablets come with One UI, which has fantastic S Pen stylus shortcuts, in addition to plenty of power user stylus and multitasking features. Also noteworthy is Samsung DeX, thanks to which the Galaxy Tab S8 tablets can switch between a traditional Android interface and one with a taskbar and windowed apps, much more similar to Windows or MacOS, for enhanced productivity.
