The Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra is a fast and powerful tablet with a unique, large size. I mainly use my tablet for watching movies and series, but I also sometimes use it for work. I find the S8 Ultra very suitable for both usage situations.
Big format
The tablet has a chic look, but no striking design. I find it very similar to predecessors from Samsung's earlier S Series. I like the size of this tablet. With the 14.6-inch screen, the tablet is one size larger than the Tab S8+. This gives me a lot of space for multitasking, for example. I find the tablet very heavy. I also don't hold it with one hand. That is why I find a tablet cover with a stand indispensable. I used a keyboard cover. This turns the tablet into a laptop. What is striking is that the tablet weighs less if you compare it with a laptop.
Usage
The S8 Ultra has a powerful processor. This allows me to perform my tasks without stuttering, even with an app like Adobe that demands a lot from the tablet. I use the included S Pen stylus for making sketches or notes. This works very nicely. When I write a text on the tablet with the stylus, I notice that this goes very smoothly. The stylus is ideal for taking notes in documents for work. When I'm not using the stylus, I place it magnetically on the top or back of the tablet. I don't find these places very convenient. I notice that the pen comes off quite quickly and I run the risk of losing the stylus. Fortunately, many covers have a pen holder.
High quality entertainment
I experience beautiful colors when I watch a video, this is due to the bright AMOLED screen. The Ultra has 4 speakers spread over two sides. This allows me to hear sounds full and clear. The placement of the speakers is a bit awkward. When I grab the tablet by the sides, my hand sometimes blocks one of the speakers. This naturally stops the sound.
