Does the S Pen come in the box?

Yes. The S Pen ships with the tablet and needs no separate purchase or charging for basic writing and drawing. It attaches magnetically to the back of the tablet.

Can I add more storage?

Yes. There is a microSD card slot that takes cards up to 1TB, on top of the 128GB built in.

Is it water resistant?

No. Samsung does not rate the Tab S8+ for water or dust resistance, so keep it away from liquids.

How does it compare with the smaller Galaxy Tab S8?

The Tab S8+ has a larger 12.4-inch AMOLED screen and a bigger battery, while the Tab S8 has an 11-inch LCD and is easier to hold. Both use the same chip and include the S Pen.

Does it work with a keyboard?

Yes. It supports Samsung's Book Cover Keyboard, which attaches through the pogo pins on the side and turns the tablet into a laptop-style setup. The keyboard is sold separately.

Can I use it as a second screen or drawing tablet for a PC?

Yes. Samsung's Second Screen and nearby-device features let it work as an extra display for some Galaxy laptops, and apps like SuperDisplay support pen input from a PC.

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners rate the Tab S8+ highly for its big AMOLED screen, the bundled S Pen and its speakers, and call it one of the best large Android tablets. The recurring complaints are battery life under heavy use, the 5G model's premium over the Wi-Fi version, and the chip's heat when gaming or multitasking hard.

What people mention

DisplayPraisedOwners call the 12.4-inch AMOLED screen bright and vivid, and the 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and pen input feel smooth.
BatteryCriticisedReviewers say battery life is only average and drops quickly with 5G, gaming or heavy multitasking.
S PenPraisedThe included S Pen is widely praised for low latency and for snapping magnetically to the tablet for storage and charging.
HeatCriticisedThe Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 gets warm during long gaming sessions and sustained workloads, which some owners notice through the frame.
SpeakersPraisedThe quad AKG-tuned speakers are described as loud and clear for video and music.
App supportMixedReviewers say Android still has fewer apps built for large tablet screens than iPadOS, though Samsung's own apps and DeX work well.
