The bold and beautiful Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra sinks to a very tempting price،
Samsung pretty much has a monopoly on high-end Android tablets and it's not hard to see why. The company's premium slates are designed for productivity and if you're interested in picking one up, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is an impressive $206 off.
The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra may not be Samsung's latest tablet, but that doesn't make it any less capable compared to the best tablets of 2024. Sure, it could theoretically be slower by an imperceptible amount, but considering the fact that this device starts at $1,099.99 and is currently $206 off, while the base Tab S9 Ultra costs $1,199.99 and you'll have to spend $1,178 for one 12.9-inch iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil (ouch), it's easy to overlook the not-quite-the-newest specs. .
The Tab S8 Ultra is a thin tablet with a 14.6-inch 120Hz OLED screen. Under the hood, it features the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. It comes with a free S Pen, which you can use for taking notes, doodling and completing checklists.
There's enough screen space for multiple apps and the large screen helps you work without having to squint. The fluid Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip ensures the tablet doesn't collapse under the weight of multitasking.
All Samsung apps as well as commonly used Google and Microsoft apps such as Gmail, Google Maps, Outlook and Office have been optimized for the tablet. It also supports the underrated DeX mode, which lets you run apps in windowed mode for a more laptop-like feel for getting serious work done and meeting deadlines.
Amazon's deal makes the Tab S8 Ultra sub-$900, which is a very good price for a tablet that is more of the equivalent of a laptop and can do a lot of things than an iPad can't do.
