Although it is the smallest of the trio, compared to the Plus model it only has a smaller display, a smaller battery capacity and a fingerprint sensor in the button instead of in the display. In addition, the smaller diagonal brings benefits in the form of less weight and better portability. Look at the contents of the package and tablets Galaxy Tab S8 from all its sides and the first photos taken by it.
Graphite color is pleasant to the eye, but unfortunately it likes to catch dirt, so be prepared for that. It's also noticeably harder to photograph, because a black pancake will still be just a black pancake. On the other hand, it gives the tablet an exclusive, understated and extremely elegant look. There is practically nothing to complain about the design. So sure, the bezels of the display could be thinner (as the Ultra has), the shielding of the antennas could be more color coordinated with the color of the aluminum, as well as the camera assembly would not stand out so much. But you can live with it.

It is not possible to reduce the frame completely, because it contains the sensors and the camera, which is in the cut-out of the Ultra model. You will not perceive the shading of the antennas while working. The protruding camera is the most annoying when handling the tablet on a flat surface, typically a table. Just expect a wobble. But still annoying to the little ones. However, it does come at a premium for the dual camera setup, which gives you a 13MP wide-angle and a 6MP ultra-wide camera.

Galaxy The Tab S8 has an 11" display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels at 276 ppi, its dimensions are 165,3 x 253,8 x 6,3 mm and it weighs 3 grams over half a kilo. So for a tablet, the ideal ratio of size to useful value. If only its price was a little lower so that it could better compete with the iPad Air. CZK 19 for the Wi-Fi version is still a lot, even if you already find the S Pen in the package (but not the adapter).

Galaxy Although the Tab S8 has 128GB of memory, it still lacks any fundamental advantage that would win Apple fans over. Perhaps the upcoming review will reveal that.
