After owning a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 for about a year, it has served me well. However, it has recently received it's last feature update, One UI Core 5.1. With such a short upgrade cycle (it started with Android 11/One UI Core 3.1), I knew I was missing out on updates that Samsung provides for their flagship tablets. I was originally going to go with the Tab S9, but with rumors of a price hike and with Amazon's sale last Friday on the S8+ in Pink Gold, I bit the bullet and ordered it. Also, another factor that made me upgrade was that there was a clear difference in performance between my S23 Ultra and my Tab A8. My Tab S8+ performs almost as well as my S23 Ultra. I see many ordinary people with Apple iPads who don't appear to be power users, and iPads aren't cheap.
I think the upgrade was worth it. The display is beautiful. The Pink Gold color is nice, I got myself a Fintie pastel pink case with a clear back to see the color of the tablet. Performance is excellent with no lag. I won't have to upgrade for years. Already sold my old A8 on Mercari.

Anyone else use the Tab S8 Plus?
I'm using it right now. I have the S6 and 8 plus. I only have 2 bad this to say about it. Technically based on what I read about this product the battery is supposed to last longer than the S6 but it doesn't. It's brand new. The battery is fine. I just wish it would last a little longer. The other problem is YouTube. For some strange reason whenever I used YouTube on the S7 tablet eventually the tablet would turn off by itself. So I got the S8 and everything was fine until I started using YouTube and the same thing happened. I did factory reset and no longer use YouTube and tablet shutting down on its own no longer happens. The settings I checked before factory reset and they were the same. It's still a good tablet.
