Overview

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ (12.4") 2022 is a premium Android tablet designed for productivity, digital note-taking and entertainment. Its 12.4-inch Super AMOLED display offers generous working space without being as large or heavy as the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

A Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, at least 8GB of RAM and Samsung DeX support allow the tablet to handle demanding applications and desktop-style multitasking. The included S Pen also makes it suitable for handwritten notes, illustration and document annotation.

When buying a used Galaxy Tab S8+, inspect the AMOLED display for burn-in, discolouration, scratches and touch-response problems. Test the S Pen, cameras, speakers, USB-C port, microSD slot, Wi-Fi or 5G connection and battery performance, and confirm that the previous owner’s Samsung and Google accounts have been removed.
