Had to buy this model from the US. I understand the 5G model could have some issues with the cellular bands being different in various countries, but how does the supplied RAM in this model cause affect the availability in Canada? In the end, I needed a portable computer and decided to buy the best model from America. Lost out on the bundle with a Canadian ordered Galaxy S22 Ultra, as well as the free Galaxy Buds not offered in US etc. I hope to see more competition from other manufacturers in the future but these items look and sound great. I miss Archos and wish Sharp brought phones to North America but I hope your latest products live up to the hype!BRING BACK EXPANDABLE STORAGE AND A 3.5 AUDIO JACK !Will update this review when it arrives. In April ? LOL

When it first released, it took a long time to get this tablet, but since I arrived it, I must say it has worked almost flawlessly. The flaws are more so software related in some instances and they're third party. Samsung should continue to promote and ensure that when new versions of apps are released that those that especially benefit from a large screen such as for watching movies and drawing are made to work right away on the latest Android version for tablets.In terms of Samsung's own software, there is little to complain about. From split screen features, to S Pen use and the innovative Bixby Routines, pretty much everything works quite well.The screen is right up there where Samsung is in a category of its own with the Super Amoled type display. As a owner ... MoreWhen it first released, it took a long time to get this tablet, but since I arrived it, I must say it has worked almost flawlessly.

Samsung should continue to promote and ensure that when new versions of apps are released that those that especially benefit from a large screen such as for watching movies and drawing are made to work right away on the latest Android version for tablets.In terms of Samsung's own software, there is little to complain about. From split screen features, to S Pen use and the innovative Bixby Routines, pretty much everything works quite well.The screen is right up there where Samsung is in a category of its own with the Super Amoled type display. As a owner of a couple other premium devices from competitors, unless my device needs recharging, pretty much all my media consumption is done on the Tab S8 Ultra.Same when it comes to mobile productivity. Being able to use three apps at once, in addition to having others floating can be very useful. From watching informative videos, taking notes using Samsung Notes and if need be to use the calculator as part of it, it can all be done seemlessly.The SPen is included and is clearly an integral part of the experience. I use it all the time, there are so many uses for it. The nib is perfect for writing and drawing. Interestingly although I use it every day the equivalent of a few pages worth of writing daily, I have not needed to replace the nib. The recharging of the Spen happens so quickly that there has not been a single instance where I was delayed from performing a given action.As a preorder I got the keyboard case and must say it is also right up there with some of the best. It is backlit and comfortable to type with, the keys are deep enough and responsive. The row of extra functions and shortcuts are well thought out. From time to time there are updates to the keyboard improving on an already very good product. Two features that would be interesting to see in the future would be that the keyboard is at an angle on flat surfaces, like in the MS Surface keyboard, which further improves the typing experience given the more natural angle it creates for the wrists, allowing longer use. Finally, an integrated fingerprint scanner with the keyboard would be interesting. The back cover is sturdy and protects well the tablet while ensuring that the SPen is not lost, even though the magnets attaching it to the back of the tablet are quite strong.DEX is an excellent window based environment which Samsung should continue to innnovate with. While I don't use it too often given that the One UI interface provides so many features, further accentuated by the Good Lock apps, it is still quite interesting to have two fully performing environments to work in.After 6 months with this tablet, the performance has continued to be excellent, perhaps the main challenge for Samsung for future iterations is to find new areas to innovate in. Wireless power sharing would be a good feature and wireless charging with a dock at an angle to allow continuous use would be also a valuable feature. Otherwise continuing to work with apps that are seemingly designed only for phones so that they adapt to the screen size and orientation, would also be valuable.And for those wondering, the camera notch is barely noticeable with a screen this size, and software features allow to cover it by adjusting size of images while retaining great viewing aspect ratio.

I always have high hopes with Samsung for it's innovation and so I ordered S8+ tablet even without a second thought. But, letter I watched YouTube videos and comparisons with iPad Pro and came to know that strangely the OLED display on both S8+ and S8 Ultra are inferior to mini led display on iPad Pro 12". Ofcourse S8+ is way less expensive compared to iPad Pro 12" but Ultra is not. This just proves even with not so good technology Apple can give superior quality compared to innovative Samsung technology. First time it proved a OLED display is inferior to Led display and one reason is of just 500 nits of brightness where as Apple has 1000 nits of brightness. Poor application of reflective coating on S8+ and ultra tabs. Samsung should concentrate on quality rather ... MoreI always have high hopes with Samsung for it's innovation and so I ordered S8+ tablet even without a second thought.
