WEBVTT

00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:07.879
it looks like a big Samsung phone I used

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:07.879
the tab S8 Ultra as a phone

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:16.320
I don't know what is this this isn't even the tablet box I'm unboxing the

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:21.960
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and you gave me the box for the the case the case is so cool

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:28.439
I'm having trouble controlling my emotions so the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra I

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:33.960
think it's kind of Samsung's attempt at making like an iPad Pro type of thing

00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:36.719
iPads have been really great recently in

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:40.739
my opinion but Android tablets have sucked for quite a while like when's the

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:46.860
last time someone showed you an Android tablet and you're like wow I I would

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:49.200
want to purchase that almost never I

00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:53.879
this already open like I don't even have to open the box it's just like Loops

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.739
just like dude I wouldn't let this happen on

00:00:55.379 --> 00:00:57.739
tackling

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:04.880
I would let everything else happen

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:08.220
oh well that is a big boy

00:01:04.880 --> 00:01:10.680
14.6 inch screen that's how that's like

00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:14.460
a Macbook size Apple's out here trying to tell you to use an iPad as your

00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:18.920
computer meanwhile Samsung is like we just literally took the screen off of

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:25.320
one of our laptops and made it a tablet yo what is the aspect ratio on this too

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:28.200
it's like is it 16x9 I'm gonna clean the screen with the banana it's not just for

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:32.220
scale uh so let's look at the exterior real

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:37.020
quick because that's what John always wants me to do this is kind of like a

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:42.659
matte metallic finish on the back we got the uh sort of an iPad like rounded

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:47.820
Square Edge Corner thing going on here you got that Andy can I show that to you

00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:50.640
so that's interesting to see Samsung not

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:55.320
really emulate their own phone design so much as they're emulating Apple's

00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:59.880
current iPhone and iPad design with this like Square Edge thing going on although

00:01:57.899 --> 00:02:04.200
it seems to me like maybe they're improving look at this

00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:11.360
thing it's huge although this is the tab S8 Ultra right there's the tab S8 plus

00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:14.280
which is 12.4 inches and then the tab S8

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:20.400
non-plus non-ultra the lowest end which is 11 inches so those are kind of more

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:22.500
normal tablet sizes but I like I like

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:28.200
how big this is on this side we got a power button looks like and a volume

00:02:24.420 --> 00:02:31.739
rocker probably a microphone uh SIM card

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:33.900
slot because this is a what SD card okay

00:02:31.739 --> 00:02:38.700
we've confirmed it's a Micro SD card slot and not a SIM card slot no data on

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:44.040
this thing that's too bad iPads can have data Samsung on the bottom or the side

00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:47.819
or whatever I mean it's the tablets are confusing uh there's two speakers over

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.739
here and I guess two speakers on the other side there's four full speakers in

00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:59.480
this one just like the iPad Pro a USB-C Port which we have determined is a USB

00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.480
3.2 gen

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:05.060
gen 1 what they probably mean to put is

00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:11.580
USB 3.2 gen 1 X1 that's five gigabits per

00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:16.980
second it's not the 10 gigabits one I'm pretty sure hey USB figure out your

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.980
like it wasn't it's not irritating to me until I actually have to deal with it

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:26.159
again and then I forget about it I'm like oh yeah USB that's kind of dumb and then I have to like find out how fast

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:30.659
the USB port is and I'm like God damn it this is stupid on the bottom we got what

00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:36.720
looks like Samsung's version of a SMART connector for like accessories and stuff

00:03:32.700 --> 00:03:37.799
and on the back we got these antenna

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:46.260
lines why do you need antenna lines like that if you don't have network connectivity

00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:49.220
oh the fancy Wi-Fi's are here

00:03:46.260 --> 00:03:49.220
so the tab

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:59.099
s but the tab S8 plus which we don't have

00:03:55.379 --> 00:04:02.580
has an option for 5G connectivity so the

00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:04.980
top end model cannot have 5G but if you

00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:09.060
downgrade to the mid tier option then you can upgrade the mid tier option to a

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:13.739
5G model apparently why don't they wait what's the processor

00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:17.220
in this is the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 why don't they all have 5G by default they

00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:21.479
should support I mean obviously like they have to put in the the actual like

00:04:19.380 --> 00:04:26.460
antenna and stuff but like come on you got the antennas right here

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:29.040
set there's a magnetic uh attachment for

00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:32.759
the S Pen which is pretty cool that it like goes right on the tablet although I

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:36.419
guess that's nice if you're like carrying it around the office or something you just need to like quickly

00:04:35.340 --> 00:04:40.919
do that but if you're putting that in your bag that's coming off okay let's

00:04:38.340 --> 00:04:45.120
turn this sucker on but before that a word from our sponsor vizzy fuzzy

so keep your feet dry and save 25 with offer code ShortCircuit at vessey.com

00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:19.680
ShortCircuit oh look at that is that

00:05:16.979 --> 00:05:22.919
moving does it have tap double tap to wake for some reason like I just expect

00:05:21.419 --> 00:05:26.580
that to be on every device but some people are like no whatever device it's

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.440
like it should so the most important thing with the tablet probably is like

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:34.500
the image right let's let's go straight to that then let's go straight to

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.940
Youtube or something see this is funny this is like a little

00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:42.240
message saying this app is using the full screen the homeback and recent

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:45.780
buttons are hidden to minimize distractions and to prevent

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:51.120
you from leaving the app accidentally how do I get to I can't do the regular

00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:54.720
multitasking menu okay oh I didn't even notice it's got the notch too this is

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:59.280
the tablet where they they put in the MacBook MacBook notch like crab Rave is

00:05:57.660 --> 00:06:03.720
nice but I should like like what's something beautiful have we done

00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:06.840
something beautiful in a bit

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.000
damn dude so it's not mini OLED like is

00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:15.240
in the like what's in the latest iPad Pro but ammo LED still looks damn fine

00:06:12.419 --> 00:06:20.160
especially at the resolution of 2960 by 1848

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.900
oh look at the colors the colors and the

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.400
and the sharpness is like really there for me crab rave

00:06:30.860 --> 00:06:40.160
that's grimy dude that's grimy dude

00:06:40.979 --> 00:06:49.020
maybe pause this is crazy why would you want something

00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:50.580
this big why wouldn't you I came over

00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:55.800
here because I could hear it it sounded like you were playing something on the TV yeah dude from the speakers over in

00:06:53.880 --> 00:07:03.060
the other set these are pretty good for like a tablet speakers yeah and it's so

00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:05.819
thin so in conclusion the speakers are

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:11.039
freaking sick for a tablet holy crap I like felt the base on them so they uh

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:18.660
there's four of them and they were tuned by AKG so apparently this display 120

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:22.560
hertz HDR 10 plus

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:24.479
as for uh performance I mean like so

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:30.539
this is still an Android tablet now the the Apple has really made a case

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.699
recently for turning their iPad from

00:07:30.539 --> 00:07:40.199
like changing it from a mobile device into like a fun and work device and the

00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:44.280
thing about Android tablets is that Google hasn't really had to do a lot to

00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:49.020
like add that functionality into Android because it was always sort of there so

00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:55.259
it's it's it's interesting to now be faced with like a pro class Android

00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:57.060
tablet that's like yeah you can do what

00:07:55.259 --> 00:08:01.139
all Android tablets can do but I guess like it'll come down to if their

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:08.060
performance can keep up with it because that is really the thing that Apple still has over Android tablets is the

00:08:05.099 --> 00:08:14.940
fact that they are running you know M1 processors now how do I split screen

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:18.599
boom and then what else should I open YouTube

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:21.780
that's sort of annoying to me that you're in split screen but it doesn't

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:24.960
actually use the whole screen it's got these rounded corners on the bottom

00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:30.660
would it do that if I got rid of the navigation thing on the bottom Maybe

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:35.279
that's already a A plus over the iPad with the S Pen you can actually use it

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:37.380
for navigation like it's a instead of

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:42.140
only having the pen be useful the apple pencil be useful for some things on the

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.140
iPad Jonathan

00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:49.620
you sound like Jerry Seinfeld ah yes

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:53.459
swipe just oh you can switch between having the recents on either side

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:58.440
there's so much customization in Android I I've been using an Android phone for a

00:08:55.560 --> 00:09:02.480
day uh and it's amazing what I learned you're switching to Android for

00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:09.060
permanent no no way

00:09:05.420 --> 00:09:13.220
I will be switching Android to try it

00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:15.660
out to then understand why

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:20.760
yeah sure dude I'm the person who thinks the iPad Pro 12.9 is too big oh really

00:09:18.180 --> 00:09:24.000
yeah I made the opposite argument I like that there is this option because if

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:28.860
there are people who want to use a tablet as their like main device then

00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:32.300
this is a great option I mean I like I like that there is a tablet this big for

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:38.820
some there's something like visceral Jake he's Rich Jake starts his car up he

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:43.320
purposely makes his car louder yeah why you know the M5 has a great exhaust note

00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:46.080
out of the factory it doesn't need to sound like that at

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:50.399
idle I just need to make that clear

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.480
hey what's that computer that is a laptop of the screen comes off oh my God

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:58.680
how many honest do we need you're different you're not searching up my

00:09:56.100 --> 00:10:03.420
question I am oh it's showing it that's horrible have you tried the iOS version

00:10:00.420 --> 00:10:05.339
of that no scribble yeah is it good no

00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:09.240
well that's you should the magic Keepers what were we talking about before that

00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.620
you had it no you had what you had one good point part of this argument before

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:18.120
the before you got interrupted by a ruined M5 Android can be pretty close to

00:10:16.380 --> 00:10:22.200
an operator uh desktop operator oh yeah closer than iPad OS

00:10:20.760 --> 00:10:25.620
you can do anything you want in Android well I'm gonna find that out when I try

00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:29.399
it when I try it out now that this is here I feel like we should do a video on

00:10:27.540 --> 00:10:33.420
like can you use because we did iPad Pro can use an iPad Pro as a PC we should do

00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:38.660
a video and can use this as a piece well that is a great LTT video no we have one

00:10:37.260 --> 00:10:43.860
last thing you're glad that this exists that

00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:46.740
Samsung has made a huge tablet well

00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:50.279
where's the tiny Mini phone I wish that there were more small

00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:56.399
Android touch screen phones you know thank you

00:10:53.060 --> 00:10:58.500
on the topic of using a tablet as a

00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:03.540
desktop operating system this thing all like the S8 the S8 plus and the S8 Ultra

00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:10.440
all come with eight gigs of RAM and uh 128 and 256 gig storage options but the

00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:15.779
S8 Ultra you can also up the RAM to 12 gigs and 16 gigs as well and then

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:19.980
there's also a five 512 gig storage option so like you can spec this thing

00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:27.240
out like a crazy amount although it starts just the 8 gig and 128 gig config

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:31.320
starts at 1100 is that what you said for the most part I just I want

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:35.040
companies to keep making these so that they can exist as sort of like a

00:11:33.420 --> 00:11:38.180
demo of what the technology is capable of I haven't really tested the

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:42.180
performance in any like meaningful way although one thing I will say right away

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:45.720
oh no okay I thought that it didn't preserve your

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:50.519
split screen instance but it does because iPad os does that as well

00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:55.139
there's an 11 200 milliamp hour battery do we know how long Samsung thinks

00:11:52.560 --> 00:11:59.519
that's supposed to last go for hours over hours I mean

00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:03.660
it's been on for how long it's at 80 I didn't see what it was at at the

00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:05.220
beginning editor you will know

00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:08.880
start scanning with the center of your finger oh it's down here this is a good

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:12.779
position to have this in because I guess if you're like if you are using the

00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:16.320
tablet like that that sort of makes sense but most people I mean most of the time

00:12:15.300 --> 00:12:22.860
you're going to be using it like this so it's right where your finger is or your thumb is wait does it know when I pick

00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:28.019
it up pick up my tablet and it doesn't wake right away I can

00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:31.620
double tap though and do that now I'm looking at this case because I haven't

00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:35.760
looked at it yet this is interesting so without the case it's a magnetic dock

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:40.380
but with the case it's got like a little rubber doohickey to keep it in place as

00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:43.680
well this case is 50 bucks still pretty steep for a for a case but I mean look

00:12:42.180 --> 00:12:48.720
it's a tablet case and it does seem like pretty good Construction

00:12:45.660 --> 00:12:50.700
the ultra one is 70. this is seventy

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.839
dollars yeah okay so what I just said but worse

00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:59.760
so that's nice like that that feels like a surface surface pro level almost

00:12:57.019 --> 00:13:03.899
cameras okay that is something that's interesting about this this is Samsung

00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:07.920
this is their high end tablet so I got big expectations they

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:13.459
don't even have it right on the front thing oh it's right here okay I just I'm

00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:18.240
unfamiliar with the Samsung icons okay

00:13:13.459 --> 00:13:19.860
wow yo uh the preview here looks pretty

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:25.260
rough I mean the yeah like the color and the

00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:28.260
sharpness is not quite there double tap power button and we get a camera

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:33.420
shortcut so that's nice geez Louise look at look at how big that

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:36.560
screen is I mean like I feel like I'm shooting a movie or something

00:13:40.199 --> 00:13:44.339
um okay so we got the ultra wide as well

00:13:43.199 --> 00:13:51.600
though wow yeah that that doesn't look great

00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:53.699
jono I mean it's only a 12 megapixel but

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:58.019
like I feel like that's worse even than normal smartphone cameras these days I

00:13:56.459 --> 00:14:03.839
I'm not surprised that they you know were trying to save a little bit of money still on like it's like

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.860
tablets not many people are buying them you don't feel the need to like put like

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:12.480
the best camera on there but still like this is an eleven hundred dollar tablet

00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:16.260
so there's the normal length and we got oh we got two

00:14:14.699 --> 00:14:21.839
cameras here that I did not mention as well correction correction these are

00:14:19.380 --> 00:14:28.139
both 12 megapixels on the back we got a 13 megapixel and a

00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:31.620
six megapixel Ultra wide so that's why when the I took the ultra wide shot

00:14:30.060 --> 00:14:35.120
right there it was particularly bad because that's only a six megapixel

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:39.839
camera yeah this is more like what I would

00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:44.339
expect from a you know modern smartphone camera it's still a little bit fuzzier

00:14:41.880 --> 00:14:48.139
than I have seen on some other cameras but it's a little you know that's more

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:53.820
along the lines of what I would expect so conclusion time I think I'm just

00:14:51.420 --> 00:14:58.980
happy to see that Android tablets are back in the market with like good

00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:03.180
quality units and I'm not saying you should go out and buy these I think it

00:15:00.779 --> 00:15:06.720
just makes me happy because like iPads have dominated anytime people have

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:12.660
talked about tablets you know you're talking about iPads unless you're like

00:15:08.339 --> 00:15:15.480
my father-in-law who refuses to buy new

00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:19.860
technology and it will only shop on eBay or Craigslist for like used stuff and

00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:23.579
he's like I bought this new tablet for twenty dollars I'm like

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:26.699
but maybe that's all you need and so that's fair but for people who are

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:32.040
looking for a little bit more out of their Android uh tablets this is nice to

00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:35.519
see your father-in-law has three iPads yeah so then there's other types of

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:41.100
people who just like buy a ton of iPads because they think that that's the only tablet you can get more Android tablets

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:44.399
are good in my book even if this one is probably overpriced although I don't

00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:49.860
even know it's eleven hundred dollars that's what the flagship phones are these days and this is a like a 15 inch

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:55.199
thing it's probably not overpriced for what it is honestly it just for 1100 all

00:15:53.220 --> 00:16:00.540
I really want is the option to have five that's true but then it would be more

00:15:56.699 --> 00:16:05.579
expensive the S8 plus is 900 and it's

00:16:00.540 --> 00:16:09.540
got the 12.4 inch screen the S8 is 700

00:16:05.579 --> 00:16:11.399
and it's got the 11 inch screen so if I

00:16:09.540 --> 00:16:15.120
was to say which one of these you should probably probably buy it would probably

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:19.320
be the S8 although this is not a recommendation this is not a review it's

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:24.300
an unboxing and uh hopefully we take a deeper look at these uh units in other

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:26.759
Linus Media Group channels properties

00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:30.380
TechLink will do a review go watch this go watch the tech longer if it's out it

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:36.000
might be out by now and I guess subscribe to ShortCircuit if you really

00:16:32.940 --> 00:16:38.639
want to that's the end

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:43.459
is pontificating the iPad's for the finger some people like the fingers some

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:43.459
people like the pen
