The Tab S8 Plus has a 12.4-inch display that has a higher resolution of 2800 x 1752. The picture improvement isn’t instantly noticeable here, but we enjoyed the experience on this screen as well.

Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated (minimum) capacity is 10,880mAh for Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, 9,800mAh for Galaxy Tab S8+, and 7,760mAh for Galaxy Tab S8. Actual battery life may vary depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors. These screens don’t feel that big considering the Tab S8 Ultra features a 14.6-inch display. But it’s all relative, you may want to opt for a larger screen if you’re after the larger product, or you may prefer to carry a smaller device. Camera and battery lifeKoguchi, Takahiro (8 June 2017).
