In Depth Review : Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

 The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 Ultra is a tab that definitely won’t disappoint you for sure. After using them for a week plus, we are totally immersed and fall in love with the tab itself.  The Design 

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 Ultra is indeed a tab that impressed me. It's seriously the slimmest packaging for a tablet that I've seen for the huge screen. The Galaxy Tab 8 Ultra is the biggest tablet as for now and it comes with the 14.6 inch giant display.  It’s an aluminium tablet that’s virtually all screen, with thin bezels and a surprisingly thin chassis. Samsung has managed to keep the tablet surprisingly thin at just 5.5mm. In landscape orientation you'll find the power and volume buttons in the top left corner and the SIM tray on the top-right. You get four speakers on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra with two on either side. In addition to this, the left side has a microphone while the right has a USB Type-C port. It comes with the fingerprint scanner which is very easy to be reach with your thumb. 

And below they come with the three-pin connector with the notches on either side on to the compatible accessories such as the Book Cover Keyboard.

As for the back panel, it is made of metal which brings you a premium look and feel. They are completed with the camera module on the top with the two camera sensors. And it comes with the glossy black strip which extends below for the wireless charging for the S Pen which can be latched magnetically.  The Display  The display comes with the 14.6 inch, 2960 x 1848, 120Hz OLED screen. It’s a tremendous display, with the punchy colours. It completes with the OLED screens where Samsung is famed for. With the high refresh rate, it makes every touch interaction feel very smooth. When you are watching movies and videos, they are indeed marvellous especially it is paired together with the loud and powerful speakers.

  The S Pen 

The S Pen allows you to perform actions much like on Samsung's Galaxy Note phones, such as taking notes, selecting part of the screen to capture in a screenshot, and even launching your favourite apps. Air Actions allow you to perform certain actions by holding the button on the S Pen and moving it around. You can also sketch or colour using the S Pen, in compatible apps. It is well detected and using it for sketch and colouring is perfect as I can feel like it is just like colouring on the paper. Love it so much!  

  Performance 

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset - that’s the top-end chip used by Android devices at the time of the tablet’s release.  We tested the tablet with a few games and found it performed well, although it was admittedly hard to use touch controls on a massive screen.  The chipset is paired with 8GB, 12GB or 16GB RAM, and 16GB will certainly be useful if your workflow involves loads of apps. Storage tops out at 512GB but a microSD card slot lets you get an additional 1TB space if you want it. 

  Camera 

 As for the camera, they are packed with four cameras on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra where there is  two are front-facers are two are on the rear. The two front cameras are both 12MP: one has a wide-angle lens while the other is ultra-wide. The former is the one you’ll use for selfies while the latter is useful for video calls as you can get multiple people in your field of view and the camera can follow you around a select area if you’re presenting.  On the back, there’s a 13MP main and 6MP ultra-wide snapper. As the tab is huge, I don’t think you will be using them for photography but they are good for scanning documents, AR functions and reference imagery. Asides from that, they comes in few camera modes too which includes Single Take, Pro Photography and Night Mode. 

  Battery life

The Battery which is packed in the S8 Ultra Tab comes with a 11,200mAh power pack, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra’s battery is meaty enough to provide that gigantic screen with loads of juice. With my casual usage, which also included remaining idle            at times, the battery lasted me between two to three days before the tablet needed to be charged.  For heavy users, they are able to use it for full day. Samsung does not bundle a charger in the box and you can get the charger on your own from Samsung Store. It supports 45W fast charging and for me who are using the 68 W charging, I can fully charge them within 2 hours.  

  Verdict 

Overall, the Samsung S8 Tab Ultra is indeed an impressive tab with great quality product where you can use them not just as a tab but like a laptop too. The battery life is awesome and the overall experience is a good one.  For more information about the Samsung S8 Ultra Tab, checkout here : https://www.samsung.com/my/tablets/galaxy-tab-s/galaxy-tab-s8-ultra-wifi-graphite-256gb-sm-x900nzajxme/

Nightography Masterclass #withGalaxy S22 Series

Taking photos nowadays is as easy as whipping out your smartphone from your pocket and snapping away. Imagine looking up at the sky and a beautiful bright full moon is there and wanting to capture it, but your photos somehow turn out looking like a small white dot against a grainy background on your phone. I’m sure we’ve all been there, even professional photographers like Joshua Se and Nadirah Zakariya deal with these (#firstworldproblem) when shooting without proper equipment.  With the camera technology we have today, taking good pictures in the dark is no longer an issue - just ask Joshua and Nadirah, who both put their creativity to the test with their new Galaxy S22 Series and garnered tips to share with new aspiring content makers! Let’s hear it straight from the pros on how they use the Galaxy S22, along with all the tips for you to be the best creators you possibly can! Be Passionate About Your Subject “Photography is a huge form of self-expression for me, and if it can move at least one person or if someone else can resonate with my work, then I am already over the moon about that,” said Nadirah when it comes to what fuels her passion for photography. Joshua’s favourite subject are people, more specifically capturing the essence of all that is human while highlighting a person’s natural beauty is what gives his hobby purpose. Because of this, Joshua specifically enjoyed using Portrait Mode on the Galaxy S22 Series for its seamless ability to capture the best of his subjects in vivid detail.  It really doesn’t matter whether you are shooting during the day or night, the two said, as long as you find a subject – be it a person, object, or scenery – that moves you passionately for it to be the language of your emotions. They later reiterated that photography and videography are both powerful ways to tell a story and if the creator is truly aligned with their subject, they will be able to capture that special magic that speaks directly to the hearts of viewers. Get To Know Your Tools Another important tip when it comes to content creation is to explore the features that your camera comes with. Because let’s be honest, it’s nice to point and click but if we don’t explore around then chances are we’ll stay blind to all the useful features we have available to us, and this applies specially to understanding the full potential of your camera. All the features on your camera tells you its strength and quirks, so part and parcel of being a good creator is understanding how these tools can take your content to the next level. So, experiment as much as you need and find out what works for you! For Nadirah and Joshua, an easy tip to dealing with the grainy night sky is of course; having ample lighting around but that wouldn’t be necessary with Nightography on the Galaxy S22 Series. This entire feature was built around creating smoother and clearer night-time footage without the unwanted distortion. So, say goodbye to extreme contrast when it comes to night scenery because this feature allows you to work around those limitations so you can capture alluring images and videos of the night.     Make Use of The Other Features on Your Phone When it comes to content creation, the first and only thing most people think of is the camera quality but according to Joshua, there’s plenty more on a smartphone that exists to streamline projects. “With the included S Pen on the S22 Ultra, catching inspiration couldn't be any easier,” Joshua said before expanding that he uses the S Pen on his Galaxy S22 Ultra to note ideas and build a concept for his shoots. He considered it extremely useful for pre-production research – being able to drag and drop pictures directly from the browser quickly making this his favourite way to work.   Nadirah, on the other hand, felt strongly about the long-lasting battery  on the Galaxy S22+ because it didn’t only allow her to shoot all day but consistently lasted long enough to wrap up with editing as well. As a busy person with a schedule that often keeps her out from early morning to late at night, the long-lasting battery coupled with the phone’s photo capabilities make her feel like she’s found the perfect digital companion to be lugging around all day. Share It with The World! Finally, what is a great work of art if you don’t share it with your audience? Sharing your work with the audience may seem daunting at first, but once you overcome that fear, you’re in for a whole new journey of epic content creation! “Editing my pictures directly on the Galaxy S22+ saves me the time to get them ready for instant sharing on the go,” Nadhirah smiled. She added that the device comes with great performance and power to help her edit her photos wherever and whenever.  For Joshua, speed is key. “It goes without saying that instant sharing is now the norm. People are quick to share their photos and videos instantly on various platforms,” he commented. To ensure that he’ll get to upload his work online in time, he relies on his trusty Galaxy S22 Ultra to render his videos immediately and share them online with his viewers.  You’ve locked down your muse, finally understood your tools, and other fancy features that come with it, and now, it’s time to get out there and showcase your masterpiece! Make your own rules, push the limits and prepare to produce the best content with what you have in hand to start your creative pursuits.

Snap, Store, and Share all your Raya OOTDs with the Galaxy A53 5G!

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is here yet again – the season for balik kampung, rounds of ketupat rendang and the inevitable scrolling of OOTD shots on your IG feed. Yup, if you were ever going to up your photo game to flaunt your new threads, the time is now.

While your Raya outfit remains the star of the show, it’s doubly important that your phone camera gets all the details right! So, if you need a device to nail that flawless shot, the new Galaxy A53 5G will make you stand out from the rest with its awesome AI-enhanced camera experience, making your photos and videos look eye-catching, in any light conditions.

Isn’t it funny how it’s always when you're trying to get that perfect image that the rest of the world unintentionally end up in the background? To say buh-bye to photobombers or any object that’s hindering you from your picture-perfect moment, the Galaxy A53 5G features the Object eraser tool which gives you the ability to erase unwanted objects from your photos after the shot’s been taken. You can also turn blurry and old-faded photos, vivid and clear with Photo Remaster!

What’s more, you can truly transform your photos with the sophisticated Portrait mode that captures the depth and line of subject more accurately. It also allows you to apply portrait lighting effects to alter the mood and feel of a portrait shot. If you want to be extra and add more creativity to your pictures, the device lets you enjoy a variety of playful interactive filters with Fun Mode – giving you a unique experience to express yourself and create content that is seamless, fast, and fun.

The device borrows numerous features from the Galaxy flagship series – including the Single Take experience. With just one tap of a button, you can take numerous photos and videos at once, and its AI camera will detect whatever is in the frame and get the job done for you. You can run, jump, snap candid shots, and get creative with your photography, and your pictures and videos will still come out looking fantastic as the Single Take feature magically pulls out the finest ones.

While many of us may not do a lot of photography at night, good low-light also works wonders for indoor shots or shots where lighting in general isn’t great. Therefore, this is where the Nightmode feature will work its magic – fueled by a brand new Exynos 1280 5nm processor, its AI-powered camera automatically synthesizes up to 12 images at once to produce brighter and clearer photos in dim settings, and even at night, with less noise.

These remarkable camera features will definitely capture all your Raya OOTD’s and moments with versatility and stunningly vibrant colors, but running out of room on your phone can be a disaster.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Series: The Perfect Tool for Balancing Life, Work and School as a Busy Student

 

The life of a student can be hectic and stressful. From getting good grades and studying foreign languages to juggling part-time or even full-time jobs, hardworking students of any age are always on the move.

That’s why Samsung Electronics has created the Galaxy Tab S8 series to be the ultimate tool in making any student’s lifestyle more manageable. Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for a Galaxy tablet, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra combines the largest display and the thinnest bezels with convenient portability, so you can be prepared for whatever challenges you face inside or outside the classroom. To start, this guide will showcase how campus life can become even smarter with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

Takes Notes to Ace Any Class

 

If you’re having difficulty keeping up with notes during a class or lecture, try using the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s split-screen feature to quickly organise  all the information thrown your way. You can split your screen into three windows during online classes. For instance, you can open your reading assignment on the left and your notetaking app on the right to conveniently access all the apps you need on a single screen. Thanks to the tablet’s 14.6-inch ultra-large display, your notetaking experience will never feel cramped. Even in split-screen mode, apps are still easy to use, spacious and adjustable to fit your needs.

 

During important lectures where you can’t miss a single detail, you can also sync the live voice recording to your notes . Simply press the “record” icon in the notes app when class starts and begin writing. You can easily replay the voice recording and follow along with your notes, conveniently synced to the audio, to help you take in even the most complex information.

Look and Sound Your Best on Every Video Call

 

The Galaxy Tab S8 series is packed with improved features for video calls, so whether you’re joining an online class or catching up with your classmates, you’ll come across loud and clear. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is the first of the Galaxy Tab series to be equipped with a 12-megapixel main camera in the front and an ultra-wide lens for an even wider screen. The Galaxy Tab S8 also comes with the AI-based Auto-Framing feature, which automatically adjusts the camera frame according to onscreen camera movement, such as zooming out or adjusting the angle when someone walks into frame. With the device’s three precision microphones, you can also minimise distractions, reducing background noise for even sharper, clearer audio.

Transform Your Tablet Into a PC

 

There are times when you just need a laptop, like when you’re completing assignments or preparing to give a group presentation. When this is the case, Samsung DeX  gives you that PC-like experience, so you can open up multiple app windows at once, just like you would on a PC. Using the DeX Mirroring feature, you can bring your work to the big screen by mirroring the tablet’s DeX window on a TV screen or a monitor. With the Book Cover Keyboard for the Galaxy Tab S8 series and a Bluetooth mouse, you can instantly transform your tablet into a working laptop.

 

Alternatively, you can use the Second Screen  feature to wirelessly connect your Galaxy Tab S8 as a secondary monitor if you already have a laptop. Simply connect the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to your PC screen and either expand or duplicate the display to push your productivity to the max. With the Galaxy Tab S8, you can work smarter, not harder.

 

With the newly upgraded S Pen, you can write as smoothly and effortlessly on your tablet as you do on paper. The S Pen has a 30% faster response speed  through a prediction algorithm for a truer pen-to-paper or brush-to-canvas experience. If you’re annoyed by clacking laptop keys or just prefer to write by hand, the S Pen will become your writing utensil of choice.

Find a Hobby You’ll Love

 

If you want to add a splash of colour to your life, why not try drawing using the S Pen? The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has partnered with Clip Studio Paint for an optimized experience that connects your tablet to your Galaxy smartphone. By activating the Companion Mode in the app and connecting it to your Galaxy smartphone, you can turn your mobile phone into a paint palette and your tablet into a canvas. You can create digital masterpieces and unleash your creativity like never before.

 

After a busy day in class, it’s nice to chill with the many streaming services available. When it comes to binging your favourite shows, the Galaxy Tab S8 provides you with an optimal viewing experience. Whether you’re watching on campus or at home, you can experience next-level streaming with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s expansive screen and a rich soundscape with Dolby Atmos anytime, anywhere.

 

Across the world, students are working hard to achieve their dreams, and the Galaxy Tab S8 is there to help any student balance their schedule and reach academic success. Whether you’re studying at the library, exploring new hobbies, or taking a break, the Galaxy Tab S8 is designed to give you the flexibility to fit your campus lifestyle and the tools to learn, create and play.

Quick Guide to The Freestyle All-In-One Entertainment – Your Raya Companion

You know it is the first day of Syawal when there are joyful celebrations that are loud and raucous where most of families will gather at one space to celebrate- definitely well-deserved after a month long of abstinence. With streets that are thronged with fairy lights, house decked with ketupat leaves and oil lamps, and everyone seems to be stunningly well-dressed in its yearly theme color. 

Samsung Malaysia has put together a guide to showcase how The Freestyle goes beyond the scope of conventional projectors to deliver a truly immersive entertainment experience for all Malaysians when it comes to festive season.

  

1. Travel Far, Pack Light: Portable Screens Perfect for ‘Balik Kampung’

Muslims located in the cities typically balik kampung (return to their home towns) in order to celebrate Hari Raya with their families.

With its compact size and minimal weight at only 830 grams, this portable projector is super convenient to pack alongside your new set of baju raya. The Freestyle is a must-have item in your travel bag.

2. Cook up a storm - Stream Recipe Anywhere, Everywhere 

No Hari Raya is complete without the heart-warming and mouth-watering cuisine prepared by loved ones. Surprise your family with their favorite dishes such as rendang, dodol and satay with peanut sauce by preparing them yourself!

In case you do not know how, simply look it up by using the Tap View feature in the SmartThings app on your smartphone. Connect The Freestyle to your mobile device to access the exact User Interface of your Samsung Smart TV or just stream and project the recipe onto your wall, or the table while you learn and cook your heart out.

The Freestyle freely rotates up to 180 degrees, allowing you to find the perfect position without moving the projector. You can also power on and off the device using only your voice, so it’s perfect for when your hands are occupied with kitchenware. You can also ask questions, listen to music, or open apps with ease using voice commands in between your busy preparation. 

3. Find Your Sweet Spot: Entertainment for Anywhere in Your Home

Even if you love to stay at home, it doesn’t mean you’re limited to watching everything in one spot. Stream Raya movies with your family in the living room, and then take The Freestyle with you when you want to watch something in your bedroom. 

Designed for portability, The Freestyle automatically adjusts the level, focus and keystone as soon as you touch the power button for a quick and hassle-free setup.

If you love decorating your home, you can also add ambiance to your room with The Freestyle. Even if you don’t have a white screen or a clear wall to use, you can still enhance your space with mood lighting effects, artwork and more. Create your own unique Hari Raya theme ambiance and project onto the curtains or blinds, adding style and personality to your living space. The Freestyle also has a built-in smart speaker which analyses the music to pair visual effects giving you a more immersive Raya mood. 

4. The Bigger, The Better: Scalable Screens for Homes of Any Size

When it comes to your TV screen, bigger is always better. But what if you were gathered in a small space which have been compromised by how large your family is. 

Now, the Freestyle makes big-screen streaming easier than ever, no matter how much space you have. Enjoy watching Raya movies with your family on a large screen (up to 100 inches) anytime, anywhere. Using the Scale & Move feature, you can scale the projected display size up to 50% and move the screen without ever needed to move the projector.

Often, there are days when some of your family members are unable to visit due to other commitments that won’t allow them to balik kampung. Why not take a trip down memory lane by browsing your family photo albums using The Freestyle’s mirroring feature for Android and iOS devices. Through smartphone mirroring, you can even video call your friends and family on a large screen. Light up your wall with heartfelt memories and stay connected to your loved ones, even when you’re far apart. 

4. Life of the Party: Customizable Features Worth Celebrating

If you’ve been invited to a friend’s Raya open house, why not bring along The Freestyle so you can share and showcase what The Freestyle can do. 

Whether you’re the holiday party planner to a weekend-hangout organizer, or if you want to be a great guest to your friend’s party instead, The Freestyle offers features that are something to celebrate.

When it’s not being used as a projector, The Freestyle has an ambient mode that allows you to customize your space with mood lighting effects. Instead of using a placard, you can use the Freestyle to create a photo zone for your party instantly. Blast your favorite Raya playlist through The Freestyle’s speaker and turn your get-together into a night you’ll never forget.

With high-quality sound and Bluetooth connectivity, The Freestyle is great choice to play music at your friend’s open house. Comparable to the high-performance portable Bluetooth speakers out in the market, The Freestyle’s powerful built-in speakers deliver rich 360-degree sound, so you can experience immersive audio from wherever you’re sitting. By playing your favorite artist onscreen, you can quickly transform your living room into your very own concert venue.

The Freestyle also offers a variety of colors that give users the freedom to express their unique style down to the smallest detail. It’s easy to upgrade the look of your projector with soft, protective rubber covers in colors  for every occasion, such as Blossom Pink, Forest Green and Coyote Beige.

 

The Freestyle goes beyond the capabilities of regular devices to give you the freedom to customize and consume content wherever, whenever and however you want. This ultraportable, smart TV projector combines high-quality visuals and immersive audio to deliver an entire entertainment experience. Transform your space and express yourself with the infinite possibilities provided by The Freestyle, made to fit every occasion.
