Global tablet shipments have not seen significant growth since 2014, when they reached their peak. Since then, it has been more of a sharp decline. There are two major players in this segment – Apple and Samsung, although the iPad still remains the most popular device and its dominant position is actually unchallenged.
While in the past it produced tablets with an operating system Android number of companies, many of them have now completely abandoned this segment. After all, this also contributed to the drop in deliveries of tablets with the system Android to market. Samsung has persevered and releases new ones every year, when its offer includes not only flagships, but also mid-range and affordable tablets. So despite the declining tablet market, Samsung remains the second largest tablet seller in the world.

Little competition
It must be admitted that Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi also produce tablets, but their share in the overall market is negligible. This is largely due to unavailability in Western markets. Practically, Samsung is the only global manufacturer of tablets with the system Android, which has a diversified range offering options in all price segments.
Galaxy Tab S8
Samsung's continued commitment to this segment is also the main reason why the Korean giant maintains its position in the market. There is also the fact that the only tablets with the system Android, which is worth buying, is manufactured by Samsung. From rugged design and build quality to exceptional specs and unrivaled software support, no other tablet manufacturer with Android won't even come close to them.
You would be hard-pressed to find a competitor to the model Galaxy The Tab S8 Ultra, Samsung's largest and most powerful tablet to date, would be equipped with the system Android. This is a device intended for the most demanding users who need a tablet for their work. Lenovo has several models in this segment, but they simply cannot match Samsung's solutions.

Software support
The incredible software support that Samsung now offers remains unmatched by many smartphone manufacturers, let alone those dealing with tablets. Galaxy Tab S8, Tab S8+ and Galaxy The Tab S8 Ultra is among the Samsung devices that are supported for four operating system updates Android. After all, from the incredible speed with which Samsung introduces Android 13 to their devices, even tablet owners benefit.
Galaxy Tab S8 +
Apart from the obvious dominance of tablets Galaxy in terms of design, specifications and performance, Samsung's efforts to bring innovative software experiences that improve user comfort from working with these products are also worth mentioning. One such example is DeX. The company created this software platform to allow users to work on tablets like a computer. It brings advanced productivity-focused features with a unique user interface that makes multitasking a breeze.
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
The user interface One UI 4.1.1 then gave Samsung tablets more of the DNA of a computer. It brings app shortcuts from your favorite app bar, it also includes recent app shortcuts, so it's very easy to launch an app or multiple apps in multiple windows. Customers who purchase a tablet Galaxy, they get the assurance that their device will continue to be supported exemplarily, and given all of this, it's no wonder that they're actually the only Android tablets worth buying.
I was considering lenovo 12Pro but the samsung event decided. The S8+ with the keyboard was sent with a trade-in bonus thousands cheaper than the Lenovo. But I made the mistake of not taking an ultra. It was only 2.5 thousand more expensive, but I was worried about the dimensions. Now the S8+ seems small for me to use.
I didn't read the article. The headline alone, combined with the name of the page, is something so incredible that I really significantly change my opinion about the whole Samsung.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 is an absolutely great tablet, but especially at an unbeatable price. Samsung doesn't even come close to that.
With Xiaomi, it is enough to ask this question again in a year or not 🙂 It will be incredibly slow, etc. and updates 😁 forget about it. Although the price is yes, but for me personally, the tablet on which I work and consume content must last at least 5-6 years and not as consumables will go away or not from the above unused for me s8 + best tablet for work 👍
I've had it for a year, it doesn't work, the update goes on and unfortunately Samsung doesn't match it in terms of performance, it's one of the best android tablets up to 10.000.
To: Paul:
Yes, Samsung Galaxy The Tab S8 has better parameters than the Xiaomi Pad 5.
But it costs twice as much 😀
You are good butter... another shovel who thinks Samsung is the best
Xiaomi sales speak for themselves.
Samsung is an overpriced dud for me. Whether I had a Samsung TV that is slow, lags, with completely detuned SW, or a tablet that failed after a few months without use and could not be repaired for reasonable money. In short, a big disappointment. Never had this happen to me with an ipad, so really no Samsung!
I wonder what the Tablet is really good for? Totally useless product, for me 😀
I have a pretty powerful mini PC at home that can handle everything without having a giant pixel on "half the table" (yes, it can fit under the table too). Outside the home, a mobile phone is enough for me, or if I'm going somewhere and I wouldn't be able to "stand it" without technology and a mobile phone wouldn't be enough, then only NB, where I can also work on something.
In the past, I already had a tablet, but after a few days it flew into the drawer, yes, it was a piece of crap Androidem for a few thousand and I wasn't very happy with it, it's probably moved on now, but still….
I'm tempted to buy a tablet again, but I'm afraid it would end up exactly the same because I have a PC at home, so what else would a tablet be for? And it doesn't matter if something with Androidem, or iPadOS, both systems are quite limited (iPadOS even more), only a tablet with Windows, or Linux, it would be possible to work on it a little, thanks to the system, it can also replace NB.
Otherwise, I think that tablets are just toys for children, they have no other use, even though iOvce on iPad PROs masochistically try to cut videos, make "music" or do some "graphics"...
Which is quite funny, for that I have a comfortable powerful PC with a monitor, keyboard and mouse and I don't have to do it on a tablet or a mini keyboard….

You basically answered yourself at the end of the second sentence. It probably makes no sense to you. But this may also apply to diving equipment or fishing machines (I'm just guessing). There is no reason to deny others their need. E.g. I can't imagine working without a tablet (I have the Xiaomi Pad5 and Samsung before that). It's probably due to the fact that even normal reading or writing on those types of mobile phones (and I'm talking about the 6,8″ screen) is absolutely difficult. Of course, performing a full-fledged oration on a tablet is still nonsense at this point. But for all the other things from surfing, handling correspondence after the game, I need a tablet. I do have a POCO F3, but that's just to have a phone that doesn't bite.
And about your practice - I need to check something quickly on INET, or write quickly, scan some pdf, etc. - will I leave the computer because of this? And as I wrote - the phone is too big for my hands and the glasses are barely usable.
And it's not that I despise IT from etvim (I do myself anyway), but I use what suits me, just like you. I don't like cell phones, but neither do NTBs. I like my PC (open so it can be accessed often, with 2 monitors and I'm considering 3) and I like tablets. And that's just my opinion...
