    I love my tablet. The size is a bit to get used to but for watching movies or playing games on my long overnight shift it works great! The pen works good. Drawing on it is a little lack luster but i dont have alot of experience using tablets to draw. I cant vouch for the durability mine came right out of the box and went into a case. Battery life leaves a little to be desired. So i am taking a star off for that.

    Amazing tablet if you can get used to the size and weight. It is NOT light and easy to hold like a "normal" tablet. But the display and performance is well worth it. The keyboard case is a must get to make most of this product.

    I love this new Samsung tablet. What I love the most is the size and it has the same features as my Samsung cellphone. It's literally like a huge samsung cellphone. I can even place calls and wite text messages from this tablet once I linked it with my Samsung cellphone. The screen colors of this tablet is also another feature worth mentioning. Feels like a mini flat television set with great sound quality.

    The King of Android Tablet

    Posted .

    Gorgeous screen. It's a laptop/portable TV/entertainment center alternative. I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 tablet. Yes, it is heavier; people complaining it's difficult to hold is silly because if you're watching a movie, you will most likely be using a stand or leaning it against something - instead of holding it the whole time. The extra screen size was definitely worth it. I own a 4K OLED gaming laptop, but the fan on it gets really loud and battery life is awful; with the tablet, it is silent, no heat, and battery life is a lot better. If only this had Windows, it would completely replace a laptop; instead it has DEX which is like a desktop version of Android from Samsung. I highly recommend getting the "Samsung Flow" app to make your workflow faster to transfer things to the tablet. The backlit-keyboard accessory is a must have with this tablet. I also got a magnetic stand for this which makes it look even more like a portable monitor/desktop. (you can check out my photos) The speakers are impressive for the size. Of course it has a high processor and RAM, you can throw many recent games at it. It really is having a slim gorgeous screen laptop. I own an OLED Sony TV, 4K OLED laptop, and now this OLED tablet. OLED is definitely the way to go.

    Ive had this for over a year and it's wonderful. I love the large high quality screen and have never had it be lagging or slow. I do photo editing, ps5 remote streaming, and play games like fortnite directly on it. Great pen as well. It physically feels high quality too. I have no complaints except I wish it supported wireless charging.

    This tablet it's all I needed. The way I can study and write notes with the pen using dex is amazing, watching videos it's really nice since the screen is big enough to appreciate hd videos. I also got a 1tb micro sd (yeah I went big with this tablet) so I dont thing I'll ever worry about storage.The speakers are loud enough to hear everything clearly. All this while being loud. The only downside it's if you wanna play pc games...well you obviously can't... but if you wanna play games from the play store it's really comfortable (at least for me) it's also really light if you compare it to a laptop and easy to move around with the keyboard case. The problems I've had it's finding a good paperlike protector screen. Overall a good experience of a table of you can afford it and if you don't really need a laptop.

    A 15in Android Phone!!!!!!!

    I loved this tablet (past tense). Actually I love it more, than my iPad Pro and would have kept it; however, I had to return it because of the reasons below. In my opinion it felt like an extra large android phone as a tablet. I liked the galaxy fold better and the fold is more useful than my iPad mini. Back to the Samsung Ultra review, I was expecting the Samsung Ultra to have pro features built in because Samsung named it Ultra. I gave it 4 stars because the screen is awesomely stunning, the overall functionality is smooth and responsive, the keyboard made it feel like a top tier 2 n 1 laptop. I love it’s so thin, light, and portable. I would have given it 5 stars if the Apps could fit the screen, if the Apps had pro- functionalities that work. And, if what was on the ultra screen, matched what was printed. It was hard to format content on the ultra because it didn’t fit the screen and stretching the apps made it choppy. It was a hard decision to return it, but ultimately there were to many little things that kept annoying me. There honestly wasn’t any ONE big thing, just a lot of little things. I didn’t want a 15in android phone, I wanted a beautiful 15in pro tablet, with pro functionality and that’s what I didn’t get, so for that reason I gave it 4 stars and returned it. This is my own user experience and opinion.

    I love it! As a sight impaired person, it's great because its large with adjustable font sizes. I can read everything with ease. Thr spen is super cool in it's abilities. It has been working without any glitches. The only things i wish were different: the screen timeout options are very limited! As a musician, i need more than 10 minutes (longest option available) before timeout. I did download a 3rd party app that gave me more flexibility. But for the ptice, come on, this was such a simple thing to include! Also, thr eay thr file system is organized for documents is quite different from my older version of this tablet and bit tricky to navigate.

    I wasnt able to appreciate the size of the Ultra until it was in my hands! I've only had it for about 3 weeks, but everything from the battery to display quality to work and play has been nothing but exceptional. I HIGHLY recommend you purchase a case with a kick stand though, between the size, weight, and slippery back, it would be difficult to work with this tablet if you had to hold it the entire time

    I bought this tablet to replace my Galaxy Tab S6. The screen size and the clarity and definition in the S8 Ultra are outstanding and second to none. I bought the 512GB storage and 16 GB RAM version and I would Highly recommend this tablet to everyone. I also added a 512 GB micro SD card for additional storage.

    Samsung did a great job with this tablet. We love the 14.6 inch screen. Pen works great. Photos and videos look excellent. Easy to use and worth it so far. Would recommend to others who like Samsung products.

    This tablet is flippin' awesome! It's so fast! And the screen is so beautiful! I'm glad I bought it! As far as its size goes, it's really just like a 15" laptop, especially with the keyboard cover, which I also purchased. So sure, compared to other tablets, it's larger, but compared to PCs, it's not that big! I plan to use it when I fly, and when I'm watching movies and listening to music in hotel rooms. One excellent feature is it has built-in GPS....which is awesome since I track my location while flying, using GPS and offline map apps. I really like the kickstand on the keyboard cover, and the keyboard itself is beautiful....just like the ones built for Surfaces. Speaking of which, I paired my Surface headphones, and it sounds great! Now - it was a bear to set up....because the annoying 'please complete setup' notification kept popping up, even though setup was finished. Finally, I had to do a 'force stop' on the 'System UI' app - and that ended the problem. I use a MX3 mouse also, which paired perfectly and completes the 'PC-like' experience. The tablet and keyboard cover were quite expensive. Close to a couple of G's. But for me? It's worth every penny. Highly recommended.
