Tablet · Samsung · 2022
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 128GB is Samsung's 2022 tablet featuring a 11.0 inches, 350.9 cm2 (~83.6% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 8000 mAh battery. At AED 1,799 in the UAE and ₹46,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8’s 11-inch 120Hz TFT LCD screen delivers smooth motion and sharp 2560x1600 detail, making it exceptional for scrolling, video, and note-taking with the S Pen included. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 octa-core chip and Android 12 with four major OS upgrades, it handles multitasking and creative apps without lag. At 503g, it’s portable but noticeably heavy for prolonged one-handed use. The 8000mAh battery lasts all day, yet lacks fast charging beyond 45W. In UAE at AED 1799, it’s worth it because you get a premium display, long-term software support, and stylus precision unmatched at this price. In India at ₹46999, it’s overpriced — competitors like the iPad Air offer similar screen quality and better ecosystem integration for less. The S Pen works flawlessly, but the TFT panel lacks OLED contrast, dimming media immersion. Choose this if you prioritize Android flexibility and stylus accuracy over display depth.
