Is the S Pen included?

Yes. The S Pen comes in the box and works without charging for writing and drawing.

Can I add more storage?

Yes. A microSD card slot accepts cards up to 1TB, on top of the 256GB built in.

How does it compare with the Galaxy Tab S8?

The S8+ has a larger 12.4-inch AMOLED screen and a bigger battery; the Tab S8 is smaller and lighter with an LCD panel.

Does it work with a keyboard?

Yes, Samsung's Book Cover Keyboard attaches and turns it into a laptop-style setup, but it is sold separately.

Is it good for taking notes?

Yes. The S Pen and Samsung Notes make handwriting and sketching a strong point, and the large screen leaves room for split-screen notes and reading.

Does it have a headphone jack?

No. There is no 3.5mm jack, so wired headphones need a USB-C adapter or you use Bluetooth.

Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 12.4" 256GB

The Galaxy Tab S8+ is Samsung's 12.4-inch Android tablet with a Super AMOLED screen at 2800 x 1752, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage that expands up to 1TB with a microSD card. It ships with the S Pen, which needs no charging for writing and drawing. It suits people who want a large-screen tablet for notes, sketching, streaming and split-screen work. Against the Galaxy Tab S8 it trades a bigger AMOLED panel and larger battery for more size and weight; against the iPad Pro it offers the included stylus and expandable storage, but fewer tablet-optimized apps.
