Tablet · Samsung · 2022
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 256GB is Samsung's 2022 tablet featuring a 12.4 inches, 446.1 cm2 (~84.6% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 10090 mAh battery. At AED 2,699 in the UAE and ₹69,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 256GB excels with its 12.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz, delivering buttery motion and vivid HDR contrast perfect for extended reading, video streaming, and precise S Pen input. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it handles multitasking and creative apps without lag, while Android 12 with four major upgrades ensures long-term software support. The 10090 mAh battery lasts through full workdays but drains faster under heavy 5G or screen use. At 572g, it’s heavy for one-handed use. In UAE at AED 2699, it’s worth it because the screen and stylus precision outclass most rivals in this price bracket. In India at ₹69999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the iPad Air or Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro offer similar screen quality and performance for less, with better local service support. The S Pen works flawlessly, but no stylus is included in the box.
