Tablet · Samsung · 2022
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 256GB is Samsung's 2022 tablet featuring a 14.6 inches, 612.6 cm2 (~90.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 11200 mAh battery. At AED 3,199 in the UAE and ₹84,999 in India, it sits firmly in the upper mid-range tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s 14.6-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display with HDR10+ and 2960x1848 resolution dominates every visual task, making it unmatched for immersive media and precise stylus work with the S Pen. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and Android 12 with four major upgrades, it handles multitasking and creative apps effortlessly. At 726g, it’s heavy for one-handed use, and the S Pen must be bought separately, adding cost. The 11200mAh battery lasts all day under heavy load but doesn’t compensate for the lack of fast charging beyond 45W. In UAE at AED 3199, it’s worth it because the screen and performance justify the premium for professionals needing a desktop-class canvas. In India at ₹84999, it’s overpriced—competitors offer similar screen tech at lower cost, and the absence of a bundled S Pen makes the total ownership cost harder to justify.
