Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ review: Best Android tablet despite imperfections
South Korean electronics major Samsung makes
some of the best Android tablets, and the legacy continues with the Galaxy Tab
S8+. One of the three tablets in
the Galaxy Tab S8 series, the Plus model brings the best of Samsung without
being on the expensive side of the price spectrum. That said, the Galaxy Tab
S8+ is a balanced proposition in the premium Android tablet segment. But, what
drives its utility and does it deliver on experience? Let’s find out:
Design
Made of aluminium, the Galaxy Tab S8+ is a thin-and-lightweight
tablet. It is comfortable to hold and operate, and does not take much space, be
it on a desk or inside a backpack. On the front, it has thin display bezels
with the front camera positioned in the centre on the right bezel area (in
vertical orientation). Its volume rocker keys and power button, which doubles
up as a dedicated button to wake-up Bixby, are placed towards the top on the
right side of the frame (in vertical orientation). On the rear, it has a
dual-camera array positioned on the top left side (in vertical orientation),
followed by a thin magnet strip to hold and charge the SPen. The front and rear
camera placement, volume rockers, power button, and SPen placement are design
elements that make it obvious that the tablet is designed for use in horizontal
orientation. That said, the overall design of the Galaxy Tab S8+ is good from a
portability perspective, but not conducive for comfortable use due to its tall
and broad form factor.
