    Reminder that the Galaxy Tab S9 will be announced soon.

    • +3

      Why would they this discount otherwise

      • +3

        Eofy.

      • +5

        Nah there is a surprising amount of people who impulse buy when they see a decent number of upvotes and don’t do research… only to come back later and go oh nooo I should have waited for the new model!

    • +1

      Google Pixel Tab has just been released. Lower specs than the S8, but arguably the better home / family tablet.

      • Im curious. How is it better?

        • For me, besides the doubling as an 11" Google Home Hub (the Hub Max is 10") and always being charged and on-hand, the killer feature is the multi-user TouchID functionality that currently has no equivalent on the market (Apple or Android).

          It's not cheap in Australia though and I won't be getting one as my Galaxy Z Fold 4 already doubles as a tablet.

  • These prices are so good, I am jealous. I paid more a year ago. I want to buy another one!

    Great deal!! Especially the tab s8+ 5g.

    • The 5g version is an extra $750, not so much of a deal IMO.

    • +3

      $1k price for a tablet is a so good price? What has the world become into…

      • +2

        Check groceries price before make this comments please 😜

    I am honestly so impressed with tab s8+ . Regular software updates. Really good tablet….. effortless productivity and entertainment.

      • +7

        Yeh, but ipad is apple….
        Each to their own, i just dont want to move to that ecosystem just yet.

      • +10

        Dex is on another level

        • Where's the dex equivalent on iPad? Ever tried using an ipad with a mouse and keyboard? It is very restrictive and frustrating compared to a proper desktop-like interface. Also, good luck getting a current generation iPad Pro with 120Hz for $692.

          • -1

            @heef: yes because ipads support mouse and keyboards. But you should never treat a tablet as a PC because its NOT a PC. The software for iPad OS is build for tablet use if you want to operate a PC buy a laptop.

            • @kungfuman: Yeah lol I know it supports kb and m, but its just not very good. Still missing a lot of shortcuts from MacOS and the like. Also not a fan of the cursor, can't do any meaningful customisation of that.

    • The Tab S8+ is awesome, I've had it for a few months now. Good sound, image quality, speed etc, but I find the typing experience very bad. It misses key presses all the time.

      I've set the toggle for screen sensitivity to "on" but it hasn't helped. Any tips?

  • +4

    bought the s8+ last month. highly recommend for this price. great tablet.

    • +2

      Is it really worth the $250 more compared to the S8?

      • +4

        For me yes. It has a different display - LCD vs Amoled.

    • Say Whaaatt??

  • Does it handle dex properly? My s6 keeps shutting down apps in the background and is very slow..

    • +5

      I have the S8+ since last year and have had no problems switching to and from Dex.

  • do these s8 replace laptop? are they like surface pro?

    • samsung used to make windows tablets a long time ago about 10 years or so, then they just stuck with android. but yes its just an android tablet. Your better off getting a surface pro at least there usable.

    • +5

      In a word no, think more like a chromebook.

    • +1

      No, Android tablets aren't there yet in terms of being a laptop replacement. Stick with the Surface Pro if that's what you're after.

      I have the S8 and it's just for streaming, playing games and for web browsing. I will use stuff like Google Docs and Sheets if I have to.

      • Thanks. Wouldnt a7 or a8 help you with that as well?

        • Yeah I had the A7, but gave it to one of my parents because they wanted a tablet. I upgraded to the S8 because I had a voucher through work.

      • Wouldn't a Lenovo Duet be a better and much more cost-effective solution for your use case (unless you're playing really demanding games)?

        • that is garbage

          • @paloverde88: Duet 3 has an 11" LCD. Duet 5 has a 13" OLED display. I sold my S7 Tab with the keyboard cover last year, replaced it with the Duet 5 and it's getting a lot more use.

            • @elektron: I tried a Duet 5 for a bit, but the screen resolution just didn't feel good enough for me. Feature-wise it's pretty good for the price though.

            • +1

              @elektron: the samsung S8+ has a more pleasant screen to look at
              samsung amoled is much more vibrant

    • +2

      I have an S8+ and a Surface Pro 8, and my Surface Pro have honestly been gathering dust since I got the S8+.

      • +2

        Is the battery substantially better on the S8+? Battery life has kept me away from Windows tablets (last I owned was Surface Pro 3 and it was an overheating mess).

        • +1

          Waayy better. This is the reason why I always reach for my S8+ too as my Surface Pro 8 only last about 4 hours of use in the office, so I basically have it plugged in when it's on my desk so I don't run out of battery in meetings.

  • How is S pen handwriting experience on S8?

    • For handwriting I think it works fine. But if you're looking to get one for drawing or anything creative I'd stick with an iPad and Apple Pencil.

      • +8

        Why? I've seen artists create absolute masterpieces with Galaxy Tabs, not to mention that it comes with the pencil, unlike the iPad.

        • Probably the apps? There are more apps available, and because there are more artists who use Apple products, that in itself is a boon (better accessories, more apps etc).

          That said, if there is a specific app you use, then I feel like that might not be too much of an issue? When I got S7 tablet, I think Clip Studio became available which apparently is good (not an artist myself)?

      • It's for hand notetaking. I need to get something, decent e ink tables like Kindle Scribe etc you pay around $600, so I thought for a similar price get S8.
        Or S6 lite for under $400.

        • +2

          One benefit to getting a Wacom-compatible tablet like the S8 is you can use nicer pens like the Lamy EMR.

  • +2

    Had the S8+ myself. Absolutely loved it for what I used it for, however I stopped using it as often (and eventually sold it) as I preferred my Surface Pro 3 due to it having a keyboard. I think their S8 line up of tablets are a surprising strong point for Samsung, the display is amazing, and it is a very capable machine. My recommendation is to buy a keyboard cover if going for the plus model, but then again everyone's needs are different and you may not care.

    • +3

      I agree to your recommendation. I purchased the Samsung Keyboard Cover together with my Tablet, and I now prefer this over my Surface Pro 8.

      • I have the keyboard cover too. For the cost ($250), I was disappointed as it is not illuminated and is a little weighty too. I now use a Logitech MX Keys connected via Bluetooth most of the time.

        • I don't mind it not being illuminated, and I don't mind the weight either so it really depend on how you use it. In saying that, I used to hate the spacebar as it was fidgetty at first.

  • Hate how then 256GB 5G version is not on sale.. argh..

  • +4

    Browsing this on my trusty Tab S4 that was bundled with an optus plan sorta wishing it would die so i can justify an upgrade but damn thing has been flawless and does everything I need;(

    • +5

      Still rocking on my 9.7 inch Tab S2, all I do is stream shows, watch youtube and read the occasional ebook, honestly have a hard time justifying upgrading until it dies as well.

      • +1

        Still waiting for my Tab S 10.5 to die. It still holds nearly 3 hours of screen on time (original battery) and the screen is still beautifully AMOLED. Resolution is 2k… and stereo speakers.

        THis is from what, 2012? Ahead of its time.

  • +4

    Don't even bother with the a7 lite. Shouldn't even be listed as a deal. The thing is terrible

    • +1

      second this - not even worth recycling

    • +1

      What's so bad about it? Just after a very basic portable tablet for basic tasks, is there a better alternative?

    • +2

      My parents use it. It's fine as a YouTube player and web browser (what they use it for). I've even watched movies on it - it is absolutely fine.

      No it's not an iPad, but it's $150. I got mine (parents) for abouot $250 last December.

    • Fully agree, out of the box on a fresh install and you have to wait for it to load even setting menus, let alone do anything else. My S6 with running apps in the background feels like a jet in comparison - I'd suggest looking for an older, used S model before thinking of the A7 as a bargain.

    • Would it work well for YouTube, other streaming platforms and browsing ozbargain? I'm looking for a small tablet, alternative is an ipad mini but I don't want to spend that much, I want something I can take anywhere and not be overly worried about.

  • +2

    The regular tab s8 should have a AMOLED screen , it creams my corn that it doesn't

    • +3

      They switched back to AMOLED in the S9. That'll probably cost at least $1.1k though, which is what the S8 cost at launch.

    • Haven't even noticed. Only haveca S21 Ultra to compare though lol.

    • I agree. I got myself a slightly used as new Tab S6 LTE model instead for $325

  • prices for s8+ which is the crown jewel has gone back to normal $1118 for wifi and $1699 for 5G

    • :(

  • +1

    Paid $799 last year in July, good savings i guess.

  • I love the regular s8 tab. The physical finger print sensor was the main reason - it is flawless!

  • Good price, I picked up a second hand S7 for $500 in January 2023. The S8 at the time was $889 from memory with Goodguuys commercial. 👌

  • With A7, is it possible to buy pen? How much is it? Hopefully there are after market ones that are good price

    • +1

      No A series don't work with S Pen, they don't have the technology. Only the S series does.

    • +1

      Don't bother getting generic capactive pens that you can find online. You can't get any precision with them (e.g. for writing) as they just look like a finger to the device. The tablet needs proper digitizer hardware to support proper pens which the A series doesn't have.

  • +1

    Those of you wanting to buy s8 wifi 128gb it's $750 at TGG Taylor lake. It says warehouse clearance silver colour
