Is the S Pen included?

Yes. The S Pen comes in the box and attaches magnetically to the back of the tablet for charging and storage.

Does it work with a keyboard?

Yes, but the keyboard cover is sold separately. DeX mode turns the interface into a desktop-style layout when a keyboard is attached.

How does it compare with the Tab S8 and S8+?

It has the largest screen and battery of the three, plus the ultra wide front camera. The S8 and S8+ are smaller and lighter, which suits handheld use better.

Is 5G worth it on a tablet?

It helps if you work or stream away from Wi-Fi often. If you mostly use it at home, the Wi-Fi model covers the same apps and screen.

Can it replace a laptop?

For browsing, notes, drawing and light office work with DeX, many owners use it that way. Demanding desktop software and some pro apps are not available on Android.

The tablet, the S Pen and a charging cable. A charger and the keyboard cover are not included.

Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G is Samsung's biggest tablet, built around a 14.6-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a notched dual front camera that includes an ultra wide lens. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with the S Pen included, and the 5G modem keeps it connected away from Wi-Fi. It suits artists, note-takers and multitaskers who want laptop-scale canvas space, but it is heavy and large for handheld reading, and its price and size put it above the smaller Tab S8 and S8+ for most casual buyers.

About the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G is the largest tablet in the Galaxy Tab S line. It has the largest screen of any Galaxy Tab S and the first ultra wide front camera on a Samsung tablet. It comes in a graphite finish.

The casing is Armor Aluminum, which guards against bumps and drops. It is the thinnest, biggest and toughest Galaxy Tab S so far, with a slim, lightweight design.

Samsung Notes handles memos, sketches and drawings, and it can turn handwriting into text. Clip Studio Paint offers a natural brush feel for drawing and painting. LumaFusion provides video editing tools, and the S Pen is more responsive than before for precise editing. The Galaxy Tab S8 series also works with the Galaxy S22 series, so you can choose brushes on your phone while keeping the tablet canvas clear.
