On the rear of the tablet is a 13MP main camera with a 6MP ultra-wide option for when you need more in your shots. We experimented with this a little during our testing time and the results were what you’d expect for a tablet of this type.

Although it’s a small thing, it’s good to see such attention to detail from Samsung. Samsung Galaxy S8 review: DisplayNot everyone wants or needs a stylus, but much like Samsung’s retired Note line (maybe it’s just on a sabbatical), if you are going to really integrate a stylus with your device, you need to include it in the box. Samsung’s current S Pen is easily among the best in class with no perceptible lag as you write or draw on the 120Hz display. Other times, when you’re walking or in lower light, the iris scanner just failed time and again (although weirdly it works fine in the pitch-dark). 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.

The Galaxy S8 is also excellent at learning your power usage habits, so when it tells you that you’ve got eight hours’ battery life left, it’s more believable, and means you can plan more effectively to find a charger if you know you’re going out in the evening and will need a top-up.

Memory size - User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the phones features. There's nothing more infuriating about this feature than the fact you can't see if you're 'positioning' your face correctly. There's definitely an angle to hold it at that's optimal... but you have no idea what it is, or why.Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed. Measured diagonally, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra's screen size is 36.99cm (14.6") in the full rectangle and 36.72cm (14.5"), accounting for the rounded corners.
