    about the second screen lag: You have to turn off WIFI on the tablet, then turn on Second Screen. Both on will cause substantial latency. For some reason, Samsung doesn't let this clear for the final user.

    As far as Photoshop/Photo Editing goes, one of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth. I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As I mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software...

Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is! The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil... I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT. If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500... Unfortunately, Samsung's trade-in's aren't great this year... Two years ago I got the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD Tab S7 Plus in Mystic Navy it was $356 from Samsung with a Tab S4 Trade-In I got off ebay for $175, they gave me $400 trade-in credit, so my total cost from Samsung for the Tab S7 Plus was $531. I had zero intention of upgrading. Samsung then offered me more than I paid for the S7+ in trade, for a 16GB/512GB Ultra. They also gave me $200 credit towards accesories. It was kinda of a no-brainer, plus the 4-year OS updates and 5-years of security updates for $517.59. I absolutely love the Ultra, and have no intention of upgrading, especially since Samsung will only give me $650 for the trade-in of my Ultra and the total cost will be $750 for the 16GB/1TB version... Maybe next time, Sammy...

    I’m glad you found a use for it but there is no comparison and the iPad Pro is light years ahead of the Samsung and I don’t see any viable reason why anybody would choose the Samsung over an iPad Pro unless they needed some super specific niche use use case… You have to remember at the end of the day if it’s Samsung or Apple, you’re still running, android and android, is absolute disgrace when it comes to mobile anything. I was the most hard-core Samsung fan you’ll ever meet literally upgraded every single year since the s1 both with the note and the regular, owned the s7+ tablet and currently fold 4, let me just tell you when Apple comes out with a folding phone. I am switching 100% over to Apple Samsung, and every other android device is a complete mockery and a joke of what mobile platform can be and that was achieved only by Apple. It’s literally impossible for android to catch up to Apple, you’re having developers develop apps which are the backbone of mobile platform and they have to develop these apps for thousands of android devices, compared to them, only having to develop for a handful of Apple devices. I know it sounds cliché to say that android is buggy and glitchy but android is the definition of buggy and glitchy. When we compare it to Apple, Apple is like a well lubricated perfectly functioning machine, android is like a nonstop decade long beta test that I am tired of participating in.

    ​@ZxAMobile You made some good points and your own opinions on the subject; simply remember that not everyone loves or likes Apple in the same way you do. As of today, technology for digital artists has evolved to a point in which we all can enjoy a great experience on any device of our choice. Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with the Tabs before; however, in my case, there are only positive experiences with Samsung. That; and of course Krita, the software I use the most, is available on its full version on Android. All in all, it seems to me that having freedom of choice is the best part of our current era of digital arts. Enjoy your iPad and iOS, keep the good work; we people on the Samsung camp will do the same. Stay well.

    ​@@ZxAMobileI have used both Samsung tablets and iPads, and ipads are definitely not as good as what your saying it is. The pressure feel is a lot better on Samsung since it uses Wacom technology. You can buy different wacom pens for the Samsung if you want a better pen. ipad drawing apps are as buggy as with android apps, procreate is not a good drawing app, procreate is limited in a lot of different ways. It doesn't have features most other drawing software has. The ipad has a bad file system, its so difficult to move files to other devices. iPads have decent hardware, but is let down hard with the software it has. Apple isnt "miles ahead" of Samsung, its just a different usecase. If you want to only draw? Go for ipads. If you want to do everything else? Like actually get work done? Get a Samsung.

The iPad Pro absolutely DOMINATES any and EVERY android tablet. You have no right to even compare the two. They are not comparable at all. It is in fact, very disrespectful to even compare them as if they are competing with each other. Bottom line is no matter how fancy and pretty any Samsung tablet looks, it’s still running android, which means it will never ever ever ever ever hold a candle to iPadOS. My S7 plus tablet was the most awful horrible device I have ever used and an absolute disrespect to compare it to my PERFECT iPad Pro. My fold 4 ALSO sucks MASSIVELY vs my iPad. Android is HORRIBLE, stop the delusional bs fantasies. There is literally nothing in a Samsung tablet that I know of, that the iPad Pro doesn’t dominate Android tablets in, EVEN the screen quality is higher on the iPad Pro. There’s no point in having a higher quality screen if all the apps look horrible on it, and even KZread videos are not as optimized and look lower resolution… it’s like having a Bugatti with a 20 mph speed limiter what’s the point of it? I’d rather drive a Toyota with no limiter. Also, the 4:3 is way better aspect ratio, and because android is horrible the developers don’t give a crap about android and everything runs slow, choppy, annoying, crashing buggy, nonsense. Try playing ANY top triple A mobile game, android vs iPad, android is a JOKE. honestly playing games on my fold 4, or my S7 plus tablet before I sold that piece of garbage was literally impossible. On my folder for KZread, can’t even run in the background if I close my screen, even though I have KZread premium, the KZread app constantly crashes the games are not optimized. Everything looks horrible and I can keep going, but you get the point I have repeated in here 1 million times already. Ipad is the ONLY acceptable tablet, period.

    I've had the S8 Ultra since it came out, and it's a fantastic device. I love the size for content viewing, the screen and speakers are excellent. The webcam and mic are also terrific (much better than most laptops). I got a Staedtler Noris pen as the S-Pen is too small and I keep pushing the buttons on the side. The Noris is a lot of fun to draw with. The Sketchbook app works like a dream on the Ultra. I did get the 2-piece cover (back with a stand and pen storage, keyboard/trackpad). The stand is fine though the edge of the kickstand is sharp vinyl and uncomfortable on your legs, especially in shorts. The keyboard/trackpad are atrocious - Samsung should be ashamed of what they were charging for it - it's junk and I never use it.

    I went to BestBuy, and tried all three S8 sizes, and for me personally, I did not like the Ultra size. I felt like it really changed the dynamic from a cozy hand held / single hand / portable device on the S9 / S9+, to a tabletop / desk / laptop / two handed device on the S9 Ultra. I spent 2 hours drawing on all three sizes. For me the S9+ was just right. I was large enough, yet felt portable, the keyboard though a couple inches more compact still felt right. It was the best of both worlds in terms of size and portability. (Though I would not recomment the smallest size, because UI feels suffocating / cramped) I think this size preference is very subjective, so I advice people to go try the sizes. There's been too many videos only talking about / praising the Ultra and I too was sold on the idea that nothing topped the Ultra... until I tried the size and realized it felt too large for me (especially since I'm not looking to replace my PC / workstation). Most importantly, keep in mind, despite how the "ULTRA" name sounds, the S9+ has the exact same CPU, same GPU, same AMOLED2 screen / refresh / ppi, and same 12GB ram as the base model. So you're loosing no tech at all besides size, while gaining portability, a cheaper device, and cheaper keyboard.

    Screen real estate though is why most people pick the Ultra instead of the Plus, I love the Ultra as well, but just like you said while I'll always recommend the Ultra, that one may not be necessarily the one you need. I tell people try out them out and see what fits their lifestyle

    The S9 Ultra looks great. But, I'll be keeping my S8 Ultra at least another cycle. My current 512 GB model includes 16 GB of RAM. I was dissapointed to see that the S9 Ultra 512 GB model only has 12 GB of RAM. Nice to see an offering of 1 TB. And also GREAT to see that Samsung has kept the microSD card slot. I also own an 12.9" M1 iPad Pro. I'll be seriously tempted to trade in my iPad if Apple offers an M3 Ultra, which seems to be in the works. I use my Samsung S8 Ultra for drawing (Clip Studio Paint), but mostly for business (teaching, studying and note taking). I use my iPad Pro strictly for drawing (Affinity apps, Procreate and Art Studio Pro). I've enjoyed your drawing courses also. Keep up the great work, Brad! 🎨

    For those in India, sadly, the spec upgrade is not available. Instead, you get a discount of 3k. If you are a student, you get another 6k discount, and if you have a specific credit card (hdfc and one other), you get another 11k . With the gst write-offs, mine was about 45k(for the base s9), and so far, the tablet has been really great. I think you also get 6 months of clip studios premium for free and a year of goodnotes as well . Considering the price, I thought it was a far better deal than ipad Air 5, which was around 53k (for 64gigs) without the apple pencil included. Can't wait to try digital art on this.

    I have a really hard time recommending this at full price. Thankfully I had my S7 to trade in and sold my Pixel 7 Pro for extra money (Great phone but way too expensive for a communications device) and maybe paid for the taxes. It's been an enjoyable tablet and I'm loving it so far. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is quite powerful and damn good with it's battery. I've been using this mostly for COD Mobile and other games and watching videos on this but I love that this has an SD card slot (Probably the only device ATM that has this processor with one) and I can see this lasting even longer than my S7 did. Only complaint is I can't find a solid case like Supcase yet. (Which they are making, just not released yet) Spigen is too minimal and doesn't feel very protective.

In my Nordic country, this device would have been 28% more expensive if it had been Apple (Apple use an exchangerate incl vat of 15.1 while Samsung is 12.1; more inline with the real exchange rate +VAT).
