Noticed the s8 series tabs on clearance. Also includes the s8 for the same price.

Were meant to have 4 years of software updates on release, so should have another 2 years. Includes S-pen.

    I'm still using mine almost every day, it's pretty solid. You can use it as a second screen if you're on Windows which comes in handy.

    • How? Wireless display?

      • Yeah, through Wireless display. It's not perfect by any means, but it does work.

        • +8

          Found out you can use it via USB c as well, which is far more stable and less latency

      A tip in case anyone wants this feature without a new tablet, SpaceDesk app does the same thing, is free, and works on pretty much any device over USB, Wifi.

      I have an old Galaxy Note 2014 tablet with high resolution oled screen not useful for any native apps. Works perfectly as a second (third typically) monitor. I've run up to 5 virtual monitors at once (3 Spacedesk+Laptop+HDMI) on my old Win11 T490s laptop. Some minimal network lag but usable for productivity, and surprisingly good for video playback.

    • is it possible to do second screen with Mac

      • From doing a quick look online, you can. Looks like you'll need to download an app though. So it'll be more fiddly to do it. I wouldn't look to buy this if this is what you're intending to use it for. Just get an iPad.

  • This or Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE for kid to play games like Roblox ?

    • +14

      The Tab S9 FE is lower-spec that the Tab S8 Plus. Less RAM / less GPU performance and lower end display (IPS versus OLED)

      The only advantage it has it that it's lighter and it's newer so software support will last longer, it will get future One UI updates, but hardware wise it's inferior.

      Both tablets come with an S-Pen and SD card expansion.

      • +3

        Yep ^

        100% get the Tab S8+…..much more capable and even when official software support ends in two years it will have a much longer life being supported by developers. You will be able to find a whole bunch of custom ROMS on XDA Developers.

  • Compared to s9, worth to buy it ? S10 too expensive

  • +6

    'Pen up' is a beautiful app from samsung to use spen on this beast. I used it on note 5, not sure if it's available on tablets

    • Yes, it's avaliable on tablets as well. It's quite a well optimised experience on tablets.

    Wish there was a cheap cellular model ahh

    This or iPad 10th gen?? Same price pretty much….

    • well, you can't have this..

  • Anyone use OneNote on these? Is it any good?

  • Latest update this morning adds Samsung AI

    • +1

      What does Siri think about that?

  • I don't need, I don't need it.

    • Its gone. Was thinking the same thing whilst it was in my cart but then it disappeared

  • +1

    s8+ sold out. only s8 now for $1 extra :(

    • +8

      The normal smaller sized S8 has the same processor and same 8GB of RAM, but it loses the OLED display and is instead TFT LCD. Something to take into account before you buy.

      • very good info - I wouldn't have jumped if not for the OLED. Hopefully we get a similar price for Black Friday.

        • +1

          How many retailers will still have stock though?

          Good Guys got cleared out via ebay recently and now JB.

            @nismo: yeah chances are slim, cant find s8 anywhere, even gone from samsung's website. HN has it on clearance for $1399 (puke), maybe they'll discount to sub $500 on BF.

  • I literally pressed the checkout button and got an error that it was no longer for sale…

  • I missed it :(

    Still on the tab s3 lol great tablet

    • +1

      I'm on the tab S1 10.4"

      • +1

        Checking in with my tab s2 9.7

  • That's a cracking price for a large tablet with amoled screen

  • Link broken?

    • typically happens when sold out (or price error). weird the S8+ is cheaper than base S8

  • +2

    BUGGGERRRRRRR have literally been hunting these for months

  • +3

    Got contacted by the store I ordered for pickup. It was an ex-display model. So order cancelled as I didn't want to negotiate that hassle.

    Hopefully someone benefitted.

    • Whats the store you ordered from? Also what hassle do you mean?

      • +3

        Just mean the hassle of trying to get two years warranty from a device that has been on display for two years and issues like battery life etc.

        If they could guarantee two year warranty, I would have taken it and just claimed warranty straight up.

        • +3

          Feels like I called all stores in Aus, ex-demo stock but they said it still comees with 2 year warranty. What would you have put your warrantly claim under? poor battery?

  • +4

    I called my local JB and he spoke to a few stores and sounds like the remaining stock is ex-demo

  • -1

    Can I cancel my contract immediately? Do I get a giftcard?
    /s

    • +1

      yes, you can keep the gift card and return the vaccum, and use it for ATO payments

  • Will whip my self for waiting 10 mins to order.

  • still a good price for a ex-demo no?

  • Everyone get one the phone to JB if you bought one and feed the rumours they're hearing

  • Has anyone’s order shipped? My order still shows as confirmed.

  • Cheap case - Cygnett TekView Case $19 delivered @ TGG eBay

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ 12.4" Book Cover for $19 delivered, would fit S8+ as well
