The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 are two of the best large-screen tablets that are on the market. Here's how they compare.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra earlier this year, 2022 as its biggest Android tablet ever, and it goes up against Lenovo's Chromebook Duet 5, which also packs a massive display, albeit with Chrome OS instead of Android. The tablet market has seen renewed interest in recent times. While many brands have focused on Android tablets, Lenovo has diverted some of its resources to making Chrome OS tablets.
Lenovo's first model, the Chromebook Duet, was announced in early 2020 and was a success, particularly among those looking for an affordable device for studying and online classes. Then came the Chromebook Duet 5 in 2021, exceeded by the IdeaPad Chromebook Duet 3 in 2022. Considering the success and the popularity of its Duet tablets, Lenovo is expected to continue launching new models in the series.
The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Chromebook Duet 5 are easily differentiated given that the former is larger, but their differences extend beyond size. The display of the Samsung tablet has a notch for dual front cameras and an aluminum casing on the rear. The Lenovo tablet has a metal frame and back with a dual-tone finish. Neither tablet is made of a water resistance rating. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is available in a single Graphite color option, while the Chromebook Duet 5 can be bought in Abyss Blue or Storm Gray depending on the market. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra packs a massive 14.6-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. On the other hand, the Chromebook Duet 5 is made of a 13.3-inch 60Hz OLED display. A Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor is inside Samsung's tablet, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Chromebook Duet 5 has the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 compute platform, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. While the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has a microSD card slot, Duet 5 users do not get to enjoy this benefit.
