I've been using the 12.4-inch Tab S7+ for more than a year and I've always felt it's a bit small when compared to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. I have held this with a case on while I stood and sketched for almost 2 hours and it's tiring, and quite straining for my arm.

The 12.4-inch Tab S8+ is a good compromise between size and weight. The display's surface area is noticeably smaller due to the wider aspect ratio and the space taken up by the bezels. Height for both tablets is quite similar but the Tab S8 Ultra is wider and hence can provide more canvas space or surface area to draw on. To me, the iPad Pro still feels like a tablet but the Tab S8 Ultra feels more like a laptop, without a keyboard. This is the 12.9-inch iPad Pro vs the Tab S8 Ultra. I use the Parblo PR100 which is a terrific stand for tablets of any size. This tablet to me is a table-top tablet, not a tablet you can hold comfortably in hand for usage for long periods of time.Īnd since this is a table-top tablet, it needs to be used with a proper stand for maximum comfort when drawing. The Tab S8 Ultra weighs 728g on its own and is heavier with a case. The surface area is almost similar to an A4-sized paper, and noticeably larger than A5.ĭrawing on such a huge display is indeed satisfying, but this tablet is really pricey at US $1099.

The 14.6-inch display of the Tab S8 Ultra is massive. I have the Clip Studio Paint app open because I want to show the tool bar and palettes. If you want to get a better sense of the size, I suggest you cut out pieces of paper to the dimensions of the tablets.

In this article I want to talk about the difference in sizes between the different Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 tablets from the digital artist perspective. So I've just upgraded from the 12.4-inch Tab S7+ ( review here) that I've been using for more than a year to the 14.6-inch Tab S8 Ultra ( review here) recently.
