The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is a speedy, long-lasting Android 12 slate that's beautiful to look at and comfortable to hold. It can't compete with the best iPads, but it's still a new standard for premium Android tablets.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 and Tab S8 Plus are remarkably limited upgrades compared to 2020’s Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7 Plus. If you’re after an Android tablet, this will likely be a top choice for 2022 – we’ll know at the time of full review - but it isn’t worth upgrading from Samsung’s last release.

The Galaxy Tab S8 is probably the best option for most people out of Samsung’s flagship tablet line. The 11in display is the ideal size – big enough to work on, small enough to use in one hand – and specs are strong despite the affordable price. We wish the screen was OLED, and Android still isn’t perfect for tablets, but there’s not much else to complain about.

La tablet Galaxy Tab S8 es probablemente la mejor opción para la mayoría de la línea de tablets insignia de Samsung. La pantalla de 11 pulgadas tiene el tamaño ideal -lo suficientemente grande para trabajar y lo suficientemente pequeña para usarla en una mano- y las especificaciones son sólidas a pesar del precio asequible. Nos gustaría que la pantalla fuera OLED y que Android aún no fuera perfecto para las tabletas, pero no hay mucho más de lo que quejarse.

La Galaxy Tab S8 est probablement la meilleure tablette Samsung de la série 8. Son écran de 11 pouces a la taille idéale, il est assez grand pour travailler, assez petit pour être utilisé d’une seule main, et ses caractéristiques techniques sont solides, le tout à un prix abordable. Toutefois, nous aurions aimé que l’écran soit un OLED et Android n’est toujours pas optimisé pour les tablettes, à part ceci il n’y a rien à redire.

The Google Pixel Tablet is designed to fit seamlessly into your smart home setup. It comes bundled with a charging dock that doubles up as a smart speaker, essentially turning this versatile slab into a Nest Hub display. Then when you want to use it as a tablet, just pop it off the dock and away you go.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is a solid upgrade from last year's version, thanks in part to an AMOLED display and an IP68. It's a great option.
