So the Galaxy Tab 3 8 inch finally showed up, Samsung clearly stopped pushing the 8.7 inch. And are now calling 8 inch the ultimate reading experience. I concur, with the reading mode feature on the Galaxy Tab 3 8 inch you can actually do long hours of reading without eyes wearing out as exhibited on the Galaxy Note 8. The Galaxy tab 3 8 inch also caries the design of the Galaxy Note 8, with 7.4 mm thickness. If you know Samsung for at-least 8 months you will know that if a design hits the sweet spot, they are gonna milk it dry, thus the Galaxy Note 8 design trickling down to all other tablets coming after it.
