Editor Rating
4.3/5

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is the base model tablet in the premium Galaxy Tab S lineup, which features a more sleek and refined design than its predecessors, as well as much better build quality thanks to the use of Armour Aluminium in the construction of the device. It also gets a massive upgrade in terms of raw performance, thanks to the inclusion of the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which is paired with a healthy 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. There is even a 5G model on sale, but that is limited to a handful of markets, so you may want to confirm before you decide to buy.
