This is Samsung's new tab S8 and this is its much bigger brother the tab S8 Ultra. In this
video we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of both of these as well as a size comparison. To the
Tab S7+ and the 12.9 inch iPad Pro 2021 edition. Then I'm going to show you guys the fastest way to
transfer all of your data to these devices. 00:00:19:15 - 00:00:36:12
Unknown Even if that date is coming
from an iPhone or an iPad. First, let's start with in boxing. So we have the silver tab S8 on
the left and the graphite colored tab as a ultra on the right. We're going to unbox both of these
at the same time because I have a feeling they're going to be a very similar unboxing experience
taking the cover off the tab. 00:00:36:12 - 00:00:56:20
Unknown S8. We're met with the
tablet itself as it'll pull tab at the top, and this is kind of like a papery feeling covering
wrapping all the way around. The Tab S8 Ultra has a very similar presentation again, that
tablet right up front with a little pull tab to take the tablet out. And again, it has that same
papery covering behind the tablets. 00:00:56:20 - 00:01:15:04
Unknown You get the two pens
and these are the exact same size as each other. We also have two boxes in the right
box. You get a very long USB-C cable and in the left box you get a quick start
guide and the micro SD card slot ejection tools. Notably absent is a charging brick,
which is a pretty disappointing. 00:01:15:10 - 00:01:30:16
Unknown I kind of understand
it with the tab S8 because that's the base model but with the ultra, I definitely would've expected
there to be a charging brick with this one. Let's set the boxes to the side and take a closer look
at the tablets themselves. Let's start with the base model tab eight it's looking over. There's
a little pull section here. 00:01:30:16 - 00:01:50:03
Unknown You can pull that off and you
can go ahead and slide the tablet out. This silver color looks great. It's a very matte finish, which
means it's not going to collect fingerprints at all. I'm running my fingers all over this and I'm
not getting a single fingerprint on here, which is awesome. And one of the first things you notice
with this tablet is just how light it is. 00:01:50:12 - 00:02:05:18
Unknown This is an incredibly lightweight tablet.
Looking closer, you can see it. There's some protective film around the edges that you can
peel off in terms of any sort of protective film on the front. There is none. There's also
no built in screen protector. So if you did want to get a screen protector, you're going to have
to pick one up separately. 00:02:05:20 - 00:02:25:05
Unknown Now, let's take a closer look at the tab S8 Ultra.
This one is the graphite color. And I must say that personally, I do really like this graphite
color over the silver. This also has a matte finish, which means it's not going to pick up
fingerprints. It also has that protective film along the edges. And there's also no built in
screen protector on this one as well. 00:02:25:06 - 00:02:41:08
Unknown So again, if you want one of those
you have to pick it up separately. I'm currently using a glass screen protector on my tab s7+
and the screen protector has been working at great. So I'll leave a link to the same brand
Screen Protector, but for these two devices in the description below if you're interested.
And one more quick note. 00:02:41:08 - 00:03:06:16
Unknown I did get the
official book cover keyboard for the tab s8 ultra. This is the new backlit keyboard. So if you guys
want to see a comparison between this keyboard and the previous Gen four, the Galaxy Tab S7+,
be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications. Seeing the two tablets next to each other The
tab s8 ultra. Is it significantly larger than the regular tab S8 but even with all that extra size,
it's surprisingly lightweight. 00:03:06:23 - 00:03:22:11
Unknown It is not
hard to hold this with one hand at all, which is something I was not anticipating
when I bought this tablet. Now, to be fair, I don't think I can hold it like this all day
long. But for short periods of time I don't see a problem with this at all. Both of these tablets
are also amazingly thin. 00:03:22:17 - 00:03:38:23
Unknown Let's go and grab some of the
other tablets now to do a size comparison. So here they are next to the tab s7+. And
this is going to be about the same size as the tab as plus as well. So hopefully this gives
you guys a good idea of the size difference between all three models. Take a look at the
tablet with the screens on. 00:03:38:29 - 00:04:01:25
Unknown You can see that the bezel thickness on
the tab s7+ and the tab S8 are almost identical, but the bezels on the tab s8 ultra are notably
thinner than the other two. Switching out to the 12.9 inch iPad Pro 2021 edition, you can see that
the iPad Pro is almost the exact same width as the tab S8 Ultra with the Tab Z Ultra coming in just a
little bit slimmer, but notably taller. 00:04:02:02 - 00:04:23:17
Unknown And while the tab
is said, Ultra does feel very sturdy It certainly feels much more susceptible to bending than the
iPad Pro does. That said, both still feel like they could bend if you accidentally sat on it. So
definitely try to avoid doing that. Take a look at the screens. You can see that
the iPad Pro has larger bezels than the tab S8 and significantly larger bezels
then the tab S8 Ultra. 00:04:23:26 - 00:04:39:06
Unknown Now it's time to
set these tablets up as fast as possible. I'm going to be demonstrating this on the tab S8
But the setup process is identical between the two devices. Once you've turned your tablet on,
just tap start. Agreed to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy, but you don't need
to agree to sending diagnostic data. 00:04:39:07 - 00:04:54:00
Unknown This is just anonymous data
that Samsung uses to help improve their products. If you don't feel like sending that data to them,
you can just leave that unchecked. Then TAP agree. Next, you'll be asked to grant permissions
for Samsung's apps and services. I use all of these services, so I'm going to keep them all
checked. And tap. Agree. 00:04:54:01 - 00:05:09:25
Unknown Next, select your Wi-Fi network
and log into it. Once you logged in, the tab was going to check for updates and install them.
And now for the fun part, this is where you're gonna be able to copy all of your apps and data
from any previous device to your tablet. Good. Tap next, then tap next again. Now select what
you want to transfer from. 00:05:10:01 - 00:05:28:24
Unknown You can transfer
from any Samsung tablet or smartphone as well as any non-Samsung Android phone or tablet. And
you can also transfer from an iPhone or an iPad. We're going to start by transferring
from the Tab S7+, but I'm going to show you guys the limitations when transferring from an iPhone
or a non-Samsung Android device. So I'm going to tap Galaxy on the
tab S8 then tap agree. 00:05:29:01 - 00:05:49:09
Unknown You get two different transfer
methods. You can transfer either with a cable or wirelessly. The cable method will likely be
faster, but if you're going to be transferring a ton of data like let's say you're moving 100 plus
gigabytes worth of photos and videos from an old device to this device, then wireless will probably
be the better option because then you'll be able to keep both tablets plugged into power for the
duration of the transfer. 00:05:49:12 - 00:06:05:26
Unknown Since I won't be
transferring too much, I'm just going to lock the cable for now. I'm going to use the cable
that came in the box to plug both devices into each other. Once the cable is connected, you
get a notification on your old device asking you to allow access to its data. So just tap allow.
After you allow access the new tablets can to search through the old tablet to find
anything that it can transfer. 00:06:06:00 - 00:06:24:20
Unknown Once it's done
searching through your device, it'll give you three different options. You can either transfer
everything in one shot just your accounts, close contacts and messages, or you can customize
exactly what you want to transfer. I'm going to go with a custom transfer now. Just you guys can
see everything that you can transfer. Once you've made your selection tap next and the next page,
you can see everything you can transfer. 00:06:24:23 - 00:06:41:14
Unknown At the top,
you get the option to transfer all of your accounts, and this includes all of your Samsung
and Google accounts. And this will also automatically log you into all those
accounts on the new device. Saving you a ton of time. You can also transfer your call logs
and contacts. And if you tap this arrow, you can select which specific accounts you want to
transfer the contacts from. 00:06:41:18 - 00:06:57:25
Unknown You can transfer
your applications. And if you tap this little arrow on the right,
you can select which specific applications you want to transfer. If you see some applications,
you don't want to transfer. You can just tap then to select them. Or if you only want to
transfer a few applications, you can tap all in the upper left corner, then tap it again.
00:06:58:15 - 00:07:15:16 Unknown
And that will disliked all of your applications Then you can scroll through and select
just the applications you want to transfer. You can also transfer all of your settings,
which is incredibly useful because it also includes all of your Wi-Fi networks. This
means you don't have to ask your friends for their Wi-Fi passwords again. And you can see here that
the customization service is great out. 00:07:15:18 - 00:07:38:24
Unknown That's because I don't have this enabled
on my tab s7+. But if I did have it enabled that would be another option I could select. You can
transfer your homescreen layout and this includes your widget and app layouts as well as your
lockscreen homescreen wallpapers and your Samsung Dex settings. You can also transfer any images,
videos, audio files or documents, and each one of these categories allows you just like
specific albums or files to transfer. 00:07:39:03 - 00:07:55:12
Unknown If you're connected to a device
that has a micro SD card installed in it, you get another section at the bottom called SD card,
and this lets you transfer everything from that micro SD card. And this does it still have the
option to select specific files or folders to transfer? One limitation I do want to point out
is that you can't transfer messages. 00:07:55:19 - 00:08:15:11
Unknown Fortunately, if you own a Samsung phone,
you can sync your messages between your phone and your tablet using a feature called
Call and Text on other devices. So there's really no need to transfer your messages anyway.
That said, this is the Wi-Fi version of the Tab S8. If you have an LTE version,
you may actually be able to transfer messages since LTE tablets can make and
receive calls and texts. 00:08:15:15 - 00:08:32:04
Unknown If you have an LTE version and can
confirm this, let us know in the comments below. When transferring from an iPhone or an iPad,
you have to use a cable. Fortunately, the new iPads use USB-C so I can just use the cable that
came with my tab S8 to plug them into each other. Once they're connected, you're going to pop up on
your iPad asking you to trust the new device. 00:08:32:11 - 00:08:47:17
Unknown So go ahead and tap trust,
then enter your pin, then tap next on the new device and it's going to search the iPad to find
anything that it can transfer. Once it finishes searching through the iPad, you'll get a list of
all the things you can transfer and while you can still transfer a lot. It's not quite as much as
when transferring from another Samsung device. 00:08:47:22 - 00:09:02:27
Unknown So at the top, you can
still transfer all of your calls and contacts. You can also transfer all the applications. But if you
tap this little arrow here, it's not going to give you a list of all the applications to transfer.
Instead, it's just going to try to transfer everything and anything that it can't transfer.
It'll let you know what couldn't transfer. 00:09:02:27 - 00:09:21:12
Unknown And it may give
you recommendations for applications that are a close match, but maybe not the exact same.
In order to do this, you first have to sign into your Google account. And now that I'm
logged into my Google account, it'll allow me to make the transfer. You can transfer data from some
iPad or iPhone applications and those include your calendar, any notes that are unlocked,
your Internet bookmarks, and your alarms. 00:09:21:18 - 00:09:40:05
Unknown You can transfer
your settings, including any Wi-Fi networks, and you can even transfer your homescreen
layout including apps and shortcuts and your lockscreen and homescreen wallpapers,
unless it's the native wallpapers that come with your iPad or iPhone. And that's for copyright
reasons. And you can also transfer all of your images, videos, audio and documents
from any iPad or iPhone. 00:09:40:08 - 00:09:58:23
Unknown Unfortunately,
you can't select which specific files you want to transfer, but at least the option
to transfer them is there. And one quick note with this is that this will not transfer files
that are saved to your iCloud, but are not locally available on your iPad or iPhone.
If you want to transfer those files, you first have to download them to your iPad or iPhone
before making this transfer. 00:09:58:26 - 00:10:14:13
Unknown At the bottom, you can find out what
can't be transferred. And that's face time and voice call history, which makes sense because you
can't get face time on the tab. S8 locked notes can't be transferred. And as I mentioned earlier,
the default wallpapers can't be transferred for copyright reasons. So there's everything that can
be transferred with an iPad or an iPhone. 00:10:14:17 - 00:10:33:27
Unknown Now let's take a look at
what can be transferred from a non-Samsung Android device when transferring from a
non-Samsung Android device. You'll first need to download Samsung's smartwatch application.
Just go to the Google Play store and download the application from there. Once it's downloaded,
go ahead and open it. And the first time you open it, it's going to ask for a bunch of permissions
to access all the data on your device. 00:10:33:27 - 00:10:46:22
Unknown So go ahead
and allow access to all of those and then tap. Let's go on the bottom.
I've already shown you guys the cable transfer, so let's go and just do a wireless transfer this
time. So the tab is going to search for a device to connect to. And when it finds it, you'll get an
invitation on your old device. 00:10:46:22 - 00:11:02:02
Unknown Just tap except
that allow your tab S8 to search through your old device to find anything you can transfer.
Then you'll get the same three transfer options that you saw earlier. I'm going to select the
custom option so I can show you guys the limitations. So here's everything you can transfer
from a non-Samsung Android device at the top. 00:11:02:02 - 00:11:23:14
Unknown You can still transfer all of your
accounts You can also still transfer all of your calls and contacts. As I mentioned earlier, you
can't transfer any of your messages. You can still select which specific applications you want to
transfer, and you can also transfer your settings. But this does not include your Wi-Fi networks for
some reason. Fortunately, there is still a way to manually transfer all those wireless networks,
and I demonstrated that in detail. 00:11:23:14 - 00:11:40:07
Unknown In my galaxy. S20 two Ultra Unboxing Video.
I'll have a time coded link in the description that will take you right to that section of
the other video if you're interested. And you can also transfer all of your images, videos,
music and recordings as well as documents and files. With these same selection options as you
had when transferring from a Samsung device. 00:11:40:20 - 00:11:55:14
Unknown Once you've selected everything you
want to transfer, if you've at the top, you'll see an estimate for how much data can be transferring,
as well as an estimate for how much time it's going to take to transfer
that data. When you're ready to start the transfer. Just tap transfer at the bottom.
On your old device, it's going to ask if you want to copy the data over just tap copy in
the bottom right corner. 00:11:55:20 - 00:12:11:11
Unknown Unlock the device and the transfer
will begin. The first thing that transfers is all of your accounts. Then just tap next. Now you can
continue the setup process on your new device while the transfer happens in the background.
Once you're done setting up the device, it'll say you're all set up. Then just tap finish and you'll
be able to start using your new tablet. 00:12:11:17 - 00:12:31:14
Unknown However, keep in mind that this keyboard needs
to stay connected until the transfer finishes or you won't transfer all the data. If you want to
see how much time is left in the transfer, just push notification. Shade down and you'll see this
notification you're telling you that the date is transferring. If you tap this little arrow,
it'll show you that there's one minute left, and if you tap it, you'll get more details on
exactly what's transferring. 00:12:31:18 - 00:12:54:10
Unknown Once the transfer is complete, you'll
get a notification on both devices telling you that the transfer is done. But on the new device,
it says that it's still organizing your transfer data in the background. And that's because the way
this works is the old device takes all your data and packed up into a smaller package,
then transfers that smaller package over to the new device, which then unpacks it and
sorted onto the new device that just makes for faster transfers and less time needing
to keep the cable connected. 00:12:54:15 - 00:13:16:27
Unknown So for now, I'm going to disconnect the cable
and put my tab s7+ aside. If I tap go to home screen, I can start using my tablet and if I
want to see how much time is left for everything to finish unpacking, I just pull the notification
shade down again and tap this little arrow here and it'll show me that there's 11 minutes left
in the transfer and if I tap the notification, I can see exactly what it's unpacking as a transfer
complete in the background. 00:13:17:02 - 00:13:34:07
Unknown You'll actually
be able to see all of your applications that are going to be installed. All of the great ones are
the ones that haven't yet been installed, and all the applications in color are the ones that
have already been installed. If you've already finished setting up your tab S8 and forgot to
copy all the data from your old device to the new device or you just want to copy data from multiple
devices to your new tablet. 00:13:34:09 - 00:13:49:10
Unknown Tap the search icon at
the top of your app store, then tap the word smart and you get a search result called Smart Switch.
Tap that and it'll take you right back to the data transfer application. Now just tap,
receive data, select which device you want to receive data from and follow the setup process
that I showed you guys earlier. 00:13:49:21 - 00:14:04:06
Unknown Don't forget to
subscribe to see my coverage of the brand new book cover keyboard with
backlit keys for the tab S8 Ultra as well as a bunch of deep dove coverage for both the Tab S7+
tab S8 Ultra as well and if you guys found this video helpful and want to help me out.
Go ahead and drop a light. 00:14:04:06 - 00:14:08:18
Unknown Tell me, beat the YouTube algorithm.
That's if it is decades old. God bless guys and I'll catch you in the next one.
