However, in such situations even at max brightness you're going to see a lot of your own reflection in the screen, which is disappointingly good at picking up fingerprints. In my own hands-on testing I've found the Tab S8 is bright enough to use in just about any situation, including outdoors under direct noonday sun.

That's bright for an Android tablet, outshining the likes of the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 (390 nits average brightness), but it still can't match the brightness of the iPad 2021 We started measuring things and found the Tab S8's display is capable of achieving a peak brightness of 480 nits in the center, with an average brightness of 463 nits across the whole screen.

While watching TV and playing games on the Tab S8 I found the display to be colorful and quite striking at maximum brightness, which was backed up when we got the tablet into our testing lab. And like its predecessor, the screen looks bright and colorful, with nice smooth scrolling thanks to its adaptive refresh rate (which dynamically adjusts the refresh rate up to its 120Hz max, instead of staying locked at 60Hz), though you can lock the refresh rate at 60Hz in the tablet's Display settings to make it drain less battery power. Much like its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S8 sports an 11-inch WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

If you were to try and purchase the same gear direct, you'd pay upwards of $840. Samsung sent us a 128GB Galaxy Tab S8 in Pink Gold to review, along with a Book Cover Keyboard Slim.

Samsung also sells a slew of accessories, including the $139 Galaxy Tab S8 Book Cover Keyboard Slim, which transforms the tablet into a halfway decent laptop replacement.

Samsung's $139 keyboard cover for the Galaxy Tab S8 has a little cutout in the back where you magnetically attach the S Pen.
