The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus is a solid evolution of last year's Tab S7 Plus, and it comes with some of its predecessor's shortcomings. Samsung will have to address these with the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, after all Samsung is no longer the only player offering a premium tablet.

Well the Tab s8 Ultra is really the iPad pro competitor, the Tab s8+ and the Ultra are pretty different and would fix a few of the problems you mentioned above. Also it's crazy how high the sales are for this line of tablets.
Totally agree Andrew. I have the Tab 8 Ultra and got it with trade in of my S9+ and Tab 4 at a greatly reduced price. In addition I got the keyboard case with this pre-order at no cost. I love it and it's very powerful. I put a 256GB memory card in, so I now have that in addition to the 512GB internal memory. Works like a champ.
