Galaxy Tab tablets from “house” Samsung not only develop in quantity but also in “quality”. In addition to Tab S8 and S8 Plus, direct successors to the Tab S7 and S7 Plus duo last year, the company also launched a new version. Tab S8 Ultra with a size that is superior to any tablet on the market.
10.11 or even 12-inch tablets are no longer strange to users, but having a screen size of up to 14.6 inches is a first. With Tab S8 Ultra, this is also a high-quality screen, with a Super AMOLED panel with WQHD resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra makes Tab S7+ “tiny”!
The edges of the screen are also much thinner, making the display area 90% on the front. Of course, making the border as thin as this can also cause mistaken clicks for those of you with large palms, but this tablet was born to be used in the form of a tablet. “replace laptop” put on the table Much more than hands-on!
The border is thin, so the place where the 2 front cameras are located (one regular 13MP one super wide 6MP) is also made into a cutout of the screen. For those who want a screen without defects, this will become a drawback, but the fact that the cut is so small compared to the entire screen that I quickly forgot about it.
As mentioned, Tab S8 Ultra has traded off portability, usability in the hand to have a “giant” screen. Normally, when I use the machine in a handheld form, I will have to lean on my lap or table, only holding 2 hands will quickly get tired.
The large size of the machine in addition to the super large display screen also brings advantages in sound. The machine’s 4 speakers are placed on both sides, giving a very large volume as well as creating a wide sound space, with a bit of bass, not just focusing on the middle and high like smaller tablets.
Right inside the box, we have been given an S Pen, an accessory that expands the usefulness of the device.
There are so many things we can do with this pen, from writing the day’s ideas, digitally signing documents, performing drawings, taking screenshots, controlling the camera… or simply navigating the interface more precisely than fingers.
S Pen when used with Tab S8 Ultra has a lower latency than Tab S7, S7 Plus and even the S8 and S8 Plus duo, specifically only 2.8ms, if you add a grainy screen again, the feeling would be no different than using a physical pen and paper.
The pen is attached and charged with a magnet on the back of the device. And when buying more keyboard accessories, we will have a back cover to hold the pen more firmly.
I said that this machine was born for multitasking in the form of “replace laptop”, and the reason is this: keyboard accessories. The keyboard will have to be purchased outside, not available in the box, but in actual use, I think it will be an indispensable thing for the Tab S8 Ultra.
It connects by magnet to the pins on the bottom of the machine, combined with the back cover to make the line between Tab S8 Ultra and a laptop too fragile! Having a large screen not inferior to today’s laptops, with a physical keyboard and touch-pad (the size is also larger than the Tab S7, S7+ last year) with DeX mode, this machine is ready for sessions. the most “productive” work.
Tab S8 Ultra version “calls full topping capacity” with full pen, backrest and keyboard is not light, we weigh about 1.4kg. This is equal, even slightly better than the current Windows Ultrabook lines. That’s why you’ll also need a bigger, sturdier backpack!
The machine also has a pretty cool feature for multitasking, Second Screen, which allows it to turn into a wireless secondary screen for Windows laptops. Said to be “extra screen”, but Tab S8 Ultra will definitely have higher quality than laptop screen, because there is rarely a laptop on the market that integrates enough display elements like this tablet.
Preliminary assessment, Tab S8 Ultra is not a product aimed at everyone, but will be for those of you who have a high need to use a tablet, besides entertainment will spend a lot of time handling work, especially for jobs that need to type documents, use multi-window a lot.
