List down all your considerations first. Then choose a compromise. For me it was a choice between Fold 4 or Tab S8. I went for the much bigger and better screen. And bonus amazing near field speakers. Plus all the cost savings and free book cover. I must admit I don't really need a tablet but the S8 Ultra is such a technology showcase all the deals made it a sweet purchase. Free home delivery, too in just 4 working days.
If you can get the S7 Plus (not the S7FE), it was last year's flagship for a cheap price, then go for it. If the price difference is just minimal, go for the S8
Hey Marianne! Happy to see you reaching out for suggestions ♥ That's what we're here for!
So, you're choosing between the Galaxy Tab S7 and the Galaxy Tab S8 for your first tablet. Here's a few things you need to consider:
1. Purpose
Both tablets are productivity machines and come with S Pen support. If you're using this for work and/or school, then both devices are going to be perfect for it!
2. Future proofing
Since the Tab S7 series came earlier, it will lag behind the Tab S8 when it comes to software updates. But don't worry - the Tab S7 will still be supported with more updates in the future, ensuring that you can still use it for years to come! But if you don't want to worry about being left behind in updates, choose the S8 series!
(Bottom line: the Tab S8 comes with features absent on the Tab S7, such as auto-tracking and better cameras -- great for video calls!)
4. Price
At the end of the day, this is what it comes down to, right? Think really hard about how much you want to shell out, because there's a huge gap in pricing between the two devices. They may look alike visually, but there are tons of features in the Tab S8 that is well-worth the price jump. (I mean --- a wireless charging dock for the S Pen built INTO the S8 is nothing to sniff at!)
Hope this helps you out in your decision. Do let us know through a post when you finally make a choice!
I took advantage of the 6k discount voucher last month and bought an S7 FE WiFi instead of an S8 WiFi and I am very happy with the decision I made. At the end of the day, you should base your decision on what you're intending to use the tablet for.
