just to be clear, in clip studio theres almost no lag, the reason why it appears to have lag on your video is because you have "Stabilization" ON, that makes your draw slower but more perfect. if you turn off this feature, you will see how smooth clip studio works on the galaxy tab s8 ultra.
Ignore the wattsapp bot. Thats the scam thing MobileTechReviews was talking about
@@theinktician thanks bro, i allready was aware of that
Yes I agree
in medibang it called correction (you can increase or decrease it but it set for 0 when deffault)
@@theinktician I almoust paid yeasterday 100 bugs for shiping to Europe, he said hes Brad and randomly sending Iphones or Samsung devices to subscribers
Small note on Krita - you can disable touch drawing and this is what you probably should do if you consider using Krita seriously. I personally disable touch rotation as well but that's preference.
As for using the tab as a drawing tablet for windows - I would strongly suggest looking into SuperDisplay - this has been something that I have mentioned in Brad's comment section a few times (I think) - it is what Astropad is in comparison to SideCar - cable has no latency, wifi is just better, the drivers for pen and touch input are fantastic!
I know for Krita you can turn of touch drawing on a Windows PC Tablet and imho is this the most important tablet feature of a drawing app. Do I understand your comment correctly that this is also possible in the Android Version? That would be for me THE argument to buy it, wouldn't like to use a "palm suppression" which is not working 100.00%.
@@skybirdification I took a quick peek at Krita on the S8 ultra before sleep and I am happy to tell you that this setting exists on Android.
Since my last encounter, they removed the obnoxious white bar at the top of the screen. I might get back to sketching on Android since I am fluent with Krita
@@Lemon--Boy Thank you very much for checking this!
Can you reply to me
Re: the magnet along the top edge - I find the pen snaps on really solidly if I place it all the way to the right, with the point facing left.
As you showed, it will attach at other places along the top edge, but it only gets a strong hold in that one spot. For some reason :s
I'm glad it's there though, it's more convenient than the rear magnet for frequent use.
Yeah, you're right. I was just putting it anywhere on the top but something there really grabs onto it. You're right, it is a handy place to set it when you just need to put the stylus down for a minute or two.
Re: using it (or other Android tablets) as a Windows display - there's a great app called SuperDisplay with which you can connect over USB. I've found no noticeable lag or image issues. It supports S Pen with pressure sensitivity (might vary depending on app? I'm not sure).
I think this would be well worth looking at, Brad, for a video on this topic.
Would be very much into this!
Just posted the exact same comment! Really glad to see people discovering and using SuperDisplay - such an awesome app! Just amazing how a developer can do a better job than a multi-billion dollar company like Samsung.
I have it too and it's really good, unlike the default second screen option, the app lets you display full resolution.
Spread the good word... That app is awesome 5 min in, I basically bought the darn thing
Super display and space desk.
One is free somewhat and other is not but better than the free version.
Google them up.
I was able to use my phone as a colour picker like artist pallette!
And it was fun!
Just use your phone as 2nd monitor and put the color picker tool on the 2nd screen which is your phone.
Try it. 😜
Great Review! I love that you do not try to "clickbait" keep your users watching to the end for the great reveal. I see the reveal how it is in the first seconds and wouldn't need to continue watching it. But I watched it ALL to the end. Great work!
Thanks for the awesome review Brad. Finally someone is talking about the 2nd screen function. I'm really interested in that follow up video, esp. if you could compare it to some alternatives (f.e. Ipad Pro and Surface Pro 8).
I recently got the s7. I love it so much! I dont think I need to upgrade but great review as always. I always come to you for digital art stuff. I love the s pen. To me is perfect I have small hands so it fits perfect and I love the tip more than any other I had tried. Thank you for all your reviews 🥰
I have been waiting for this review!! Thank you :)
The review I've been waiting for! Seen a bunch of reviews already (and already preordered), but yours is the opinion I respect most, especially for what I want to use this for - most other reviewers focus on tech specs and gaming. Super excited for your Second Screen video, would love to know if this can replace my Huion Kamvas Pro 16 (late 2019). I think its about an inch smaller screen size than my Kamvas, but it would take up significantly less space overall and be a lot quicker and easier to set-up and tear down, and space is at a premium with my current setup.
Great review, looking forward to that deeper dive vid on the second screen 👏
Thanks brad for the much awaited review. Your reviews are absolutely exceptional as you make these thinking of creative professionals.

The absolute best review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. Just what I was looking for...brilliant
Thanks for the review Brad.
I was waiting for your review of this tablet. I value your opinion a lot and always enjoy your videos. Great job
Thanks!!
Great tablet for basically everything. czcams.com/users/postUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS I bought it specifically for art, and that 4k screen is really fantastic for it! Also has LOUD audio, even tho the speakers aren't in necessarily prime locations it really projects!You do need to get a case for this bad boy IMMEDIATLY though as it doesn't come with one.Battery life is really good! Standby time us FANTASTIC. This guy can go about a week on standby and be just fine. The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. There is no way to turn down resolution either, so it just be like that.Would still judge this bad boi at 10/10 for my first tablet. I've had it 3 months now and its not shown any evidence of "slowing down" or anything. Love it!
Yes! Yours is the review I was waiting on.
YEEEEES ive been waiting for this review !! so excited
I've been waiting for this!
Fantastic review as always, Brad! You are the first in my book for tech reviews!!😀👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hey Brad! Amazing review!
Just one thing - I think you need to mention in the title and the thumbnail that you are reviewing it from an illustrator's/artist's POV. If someone is searching for good android tablets to draw on, you need to make it easier for the algorithm to put your video on the top, instead of lumping it in with the rest of the reviews for this tablet.
Also, when you review the sidecar feature on this tablet, if possible please compare it with the SuperDisplay app which I use on my S6 Lite. It's really good, and I'd like to know if this feature makes that app redundant.
Hello!! I love your content and I have been watching you for quite some time! I was so eagerly waiting to hear your opinions on the tablet as the way you explains things so simply and clearly has genuinely helped me with deciding on tablets in the past!! I already knew I was probably going to get the ultra, but I definitely feel more comfortable knowing it has your stamp of approval lol

Honestly, i have been impatiently waiting on this review. 🙏
6:43 there is "stabilization 6" on the pen so it could have affected the latency slightly.
But amazing review non the less! I was really waiting for you to post it!
I was looking for this comment 😂
Hi Brad.....Thank you so much for this review 😎
This review has been SO helpful! Thanks
The S Pen is made by Wacom. So, you can change the S Pen Tip for a Wacom Tip. That's how my S Pen is on my Galaxy S6 Lite. I put a Paper like screen protector on my tablet and then put a Wacom Tip on my S Pen. It works beautifully. Try it out and let us know if it works and how is the experience.
thanks for the tip man!
still waiting for my tab s8+ to arrive and this information might be helpful😁
Thanks to CZcams for recommending this video and the channel. Great hands those doing the drawing 👏🏽👍🏽
I'm been waiting for your review cause your the only people i will trust in terms of gadget that was best for us artist and non-artist! LOVE IT

Nice video! I would love to see this tablet vs the Cintiq and also the updated video Top Android Apps you mentioned!!

Watching this on my Ultraa and personally happy with it. I'm enjoying it and will be using it for my project.
Favorite ball of tape. Very funny and another excellent review. I'm still using my old Samsung but there's a teeny tiny spot in the screen that's sorta off so I keep my eye on what's next. Because I cannot imagine not being able to draw cartoons. So fun. Thank you for the time you put into these videos. Happy Drawing. Cheers, Ivy.
Ever since i saw other tech reviewers reviewing this device i was like “man, can’t wait for Brad’s review”
Was looking for you review on this tablet thanks
Finally, this was the review of this tablet I was looking for. I saw a bunch of reviews on this tablet but all of them were from the perspective of people who only use it for things like watching videos, social media and regular productivity apps.
As someone who uses my tablet to draw, make 2d animations, and videos, it feels like there is a much greater value to the tablet than to an average user.
This review covered a lot of the things I wanted to know like differences in drawing apps and how smoothly they run, s pen latency while drawing, the 2nd Screen feature with windows, etc.
I want this tablet sooo bad now.
Yes! I have been waiting for this review!

Watched this after watching his Tab S7+ review! They really turned a premium product into an ULTRA one!
I can’t applaud Samsung enough for their efforts to bring us premium software ❤️
Awesome review! Been thinking about what I'd do about upgrading from my Surface Pro 4 and was considering tablet options. This really helped me figure out a few things about what I'll need for a tablet to work. The sidecar-like feature on windows would be super handy. It looked like you were doing it wirelessly but can it be done with a cable as well?
On a side note any chance we'll see your thoughts on the Asus Flow z13?
As usual, awesome review brad
Thanks for watching
I feel you should mention that it's fairly easy and inexpensive to get an alternative stylus for these tablets - particularly the one staedtler makes. Even more so when you start go into pros/cons vs ipads for drawing. In regards to the huion app, they apparently took it off saying they want to improve features. I'm left wondering if the real reason they did so because some of their features were very similar to other apps (procreate in particular) or if it became popular enough they wanted to consider charging for it.
Great video as always! Do you think there's a possibility to do a review of the S22 Ultra?
Great review! I'm thinking to get this as a companion for a Cintiq Pro 16, especially if the pen experience is similar. Would be great for something that can be used to draw in the couch and for content consumption. :)
Great review on it. Was thinking pick this or s8+ tablet. Wanna learn about digital art, doing animation or digital sculpting.
I got it last week and so far, illustrating on it has been an amazing experience. The extra screen space means I can draw while having something else play in the background as that helps with my concentration. Haven't tried out gaming on it yet since I've been swamped with work and school but I'll try that soon
Hey question! Is this standalone? I inport reference images via Dropbox for example, can I do that on this tablet without needing a laptop / pc?
@@kurimallow easily. I either have the reference image open in an app beside my art app or just import it into the art app
@blackbriarwolf it functions the same way as background noise, and trying to ignore it helps me keep my attention on illustrating💁🏾♀️

I absolutely Love this new Samsung galaxy tab ultra . It truly is fantastic ! Brilliant in-depth review . New subscriber 💗💙 . I definitely will be buying this . Great for those birthday , anniversary, holiday's gifts 🎁 just a suggestion there 😀 .
Finally !!!! The review that I wanted to see.
Palm rejection is perfect in Samsung tablets, regardless the app you are on, because as soon as the SPen is within the hover distance, the touch fully turns off. So it's absolutely impossible to mark anything with your palm.

Great review Brad! I'd really love to see you review this as a second screen drawing display on Windows with Photoshop & Clip Studio. Please feel free to go as in-depth as you need whenever you do.

You have the absolute best reviews.
ive been waiting for this
the trackpad thing!!! okay i'm not crazy. Great video!!!! I would like to add that if you go to Settings > Advanced Features > Labs > App Ratio you can changed the apsect ratio of apps and have them look better in landscape mode!! Baked in, no extra apps needed
Excellent reviews. Could do you a video of how you set up clip studio paint for the tablet. Also how did you get a reference pic on the back round
Really fun and different review , many thanks
This is unique review which is what i am looking for. Thank you..
Thank you for the cool review! So if i understand well, there is more lag of the stroke following the pentip on Clipstudio android (even with this tablet) than on the Ipad Pro?
I know it's not a dealbreaker. But this case-scenario would totally make a change of hardware out of the question for me.
Except from that, what a beauty!!
Hi Brad!
I just starting to watch your vids here, and they are very enjoyable and fun to watch, plus rich in info about everything 😃
I saw you talked about palm resistance and pen pressure, but also to buy the screen protection on it.
Is the pen really eating/digging that much into the protector, if so, how long does it last for the amount of time you draw/write on it before you need 2 change it again?
Thank you Thank you very much for reviewing Second Screen feature and looking forward to seeing the follow up video!
I hope you review the SuperDisplay app with USB wire connection instead of Wifi connection on it and Second Screen.
Incredible and impressive artwork, really a delight to view, hope we stay connected, hope you have a safe and wonderful day.
My tab is coming in the mail tomorrow and I can not WAIT! So excited.
Update of experience one year later?
Oooohh 🙏 looking forward to getting home and watch 🎉
Looking sharp, man. Digging the sweater.
Hey Brad 😁 thanks for this review, once I heard about the ultra I began anticipating your video. It is a nice tablet, but I am still in love with my S6 lite. I actually don't like the size of the ultra - I lean more towards 'traditional' on paper/canvas when I'm creating so I only use my S6 to rough draft or draw once or twice a week. You're right, this tablet is for some but not for me at this time is my art journey. I cannot thank you enough for this review bc I feel most consumers are 'apple heads' when it comes to tablets and often miss what Android has to offer. Great content as always!!!
same, got s6 lite and i dont think ill change since the s6 lite still works. and second screen can work with hdmi. and its too big for me.
We love S6 lite bro
I have an S6 and an S7+ and there's a very clear divide between them in that I bring the S6 with me a lot - drawing at the coffee shop or whatever - but the S7+ is my current substitute for a pen display and mainly sits at home.
I think in the case of the latter this one is a no-brainer upgrade, but for on the go stuff I definitely think it would be too much of a hassle.
I bought an S6 Lite because of Brad's reviews as well and think the size is just perfect. Maybe a bigger screen would be better if that's your only drawing device but I already have a PC at home for that and the S6 Lite is something I use to draw at work/when I don't have access to my PC. 1000% didn't regret buying this tablet, especially with how CSP works great with it!
To be fair there wasn’t much offering in the Android world until like 18 months ago, when we saw a resurgence of premium Android tablets
Was waiting for your review. Btw, like everybody mentioned, do a superdisplay test!!
Awesome review! I really like your videos.
Are going to review the normal galaxy tab S8 as well?
I wanna get a tablet I can use for drawing. (I use clip studio paint)
So I'm really having a hard time to decide If I should go for the galaxy tab S7 or S8.
Originally, all I was looking for was a portable monitor that I can use with my laptop for work purposes at locations other than my home. I'm a 3D animator. Then I came across monitors with touchscreen and thought might as well add an extra feature. Then I saw one that you can draw on with a stylus (not a dedicated drawing tablet). So I thought of getting a drawing tablet that will double as a 2nd monitor. This is when I also started watching your videos for reviews. And finally I saw the S8 Tab Ultra which can do all of the above but close to the size I wanted as a 2nd monitor. Originally, I wanted a 15.6". So I decided to preorder it since Samsung also has a 0% installment plan. I know it's waaay more expensive than a drawing tablet but at the same time, it's more compact than the drawing ones as they have thicker bezels and buttons, AND the S8 is stand alone. When I travel, I can bring this out at the airport or on the plane instead of my laptop as it's smaller and lighter, not to mention, if I feel like drawing something I can with this, versus my laptop.

Well put; I'm in the same boat. I'm glad I noticed this before buying something that, although cheaper, wouldn't have worked in stand-alone situations.
Hi, what are the softwares you are using for your drawing routine? How is the machine works with you after 8 months now? I am iPad mini 5 user with Apple Pencil. I spent quite many approaches to adapt my desktop photoshop workflow into it. I still couldn’t get comfortable with it. The most I have patience was Sketching in black n’ white only.
I am looking at this S8 which potentially could bring over my desktop photoshop workflow into this larger screen tablet. Procreate is not really making me happy to draw.
Myself does enjoy Clip Studio Pro for comic line drawing a lot.
What do you think of its performance as for digital illustration?
Hi, I would like to know about your experience with it as a second monitor/drawing tablet. Are you able to use windows apps and such or are you limited to android stuff? Thank you.
yeees, i was waiting for this
Great review as always! Do you have any plans to review the new Huawei Matebook E? It seems to be a great Windows tablet with an OLED screen and pen support.
Thank you for this great review! One of the best i was able to find. I'm just wondering what App do you use to draw and edit Images? I am struggling because there is no photoshop for android but i am completely used to it and it would be so great on this big screen. So i dont know if i should go for an ios tablet where PS is an option.
Great review brad you killed it.

love your reviews, How to Remove the Notch: Go into (settings) tap (Display) then tap (Full screen Apps), then pick the apps that you don’t won’t the notch to show up in, then go back to the app you were in.
Brad to disable touch drawing on krita you have to go to settings, configure krita, general, tools tab then under Brush Flow Mode you can disable "Enable Touch Painting" there you can have a much better palm rejection experience and also play around with the performance section in the settings.

hi brad, love your videos. i was thinking if i should upgrade from my s7 plus to s8 ultra and while watching your reviews i wanted to clarify that the pen sits very securely at the top of the screen. it has 2 magnets on the right side when in landscape view. however, you're putting in the center and it attaches to only one.
thank for the review, it was very nice! Also, what drawing app are you using?
Can you review the 2021 Penup App in one of the Samsung reviews, it’s no procreate but a really solid free and ad free option...

This is the only S8 Ultra review I’ve been waiting for lol
Great review and thanks. It would be nice to hear how the tablets communicates and interacts with samsung phones within the samsung ecosystem. Any specialised features that makes a samsung phone user choose this instead of another brand tablet?. Thanks
Nice, nice bit of kit! I don’t like the flexing as you draw, but I’ve got a great third party foldable stand for my iPad and it doesn’t move. 🌸

Great review! I have the older version (S7+) and I love it! As for the apps, same happened to me with huion (??) But if you use the link to Google play store on their website it takes you to the correct app. Also Infinite Painter 7 is currently in beta on Android, can't wait for it to be released!
I also have the Tab S7+ and I love infinite painter but recently I have encountered too much instability and bugs on this app, I cannot use it reliably. I swear that this update will fix all the bugs, especially about the autosaves and app stability.
My fold 4 and s8 ultra just delivered today and im loving both of this devices.
Any update?
Oh man! As usual, another AWESOME VIDEO review. You always make “kickass” content! As for the tablet, it’s pretty great. But what do you do when you already live in the apple ecosystem, and you are content using an iPad. Because you love Koolaid! . . . and Apple Juice. 🤪
I really really love how Samsung's s pen doesn't need to be charged to be used. I had an ipad and an Apple pencil and the amount of times I was half way through annotating PDFs and it went flat drove me insane. Since I switched to the tab s7, I've never had that issue. Why can Apple figure that out.

Wacom.
Ever since Steve Jobs died apple went downhill. Sure, they maintain a level of quality but its not what it used to be.
Can you do a video on pen tips for the Ipad? I have been considering getting some and I really trust your opinion over some other peoples.
Yes, please do a new review video for Android drawing apps! I'm looking to get this in the next few months and there's a TON of apps and I have no idea which ones are actually good for art.
best review i ever seen for s8 ultra
thanks for the awesome review !
I just have a question does it have extra tips/nibs for the pen ! like what if the tip broke? all the previous tablet that I bought had extra tips for the pen but i don't know if this one also have extra tips! or is the pen better than the previous and ot won't break so they didn't put extra tips?
Thank you for the detailed review. 👍 Regarding the soft nip of S Pen it has that you mentioned in the video, if you purchase extra S Pen nips from Samsung directly, there will be 2 types of nips: soft nips (black ones) and hard nips (grey ones). I heard that the hard nips are better for drawing while soft ones are for taking notes, so I think the hard ones would be better for you. 😊 Looking forward to your new videos.
I agree with you its better to think of that as a laptop replacement. In that sense in your video I was surprised you were in normal mode and not dex most of the time. Dex is very good and makes the big screen alot more usable, like you mentioned things not being the right size, well dex just resize. Or in the case of drawing you can have 2/3rd of the screen for your drawing app and a reference pic sitting there.
2y later and I just bought this tab. Mainly because with the s9 line release I got it for $400 off. I love it.
really looking forward to the update on android apps, i feel like so many apps have come along way and now i'm torn between which to devote the time into mastering. Between Krita, CSP, and Infinite Painter on my s8+
Yes i loved so much, im now start saving so i can buy s8 ultra 😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Excelente video, me llamo mucho la atención el arte qué realizas durante el video, me podrías indicar qué aplicación utilizas para realizar los dibujos, saludos!!!!
