We got 2 of the 3/32gb versions from Samsung for free when we bought a Tab S8 Ultra, and my wife uses one of them for streaming.
The UI is pretty slow/laggy almost always. I'm sure that also has to do with the chipset, but the 3gb of ram doesn't help.
To give you an idea, with all apps closed on the 3gb version, there is only 0.9gb of usable ram. It's doable if you know what you're expecting, and you can run a VPN and streaming app simultaneously, but it won't be anywhere near a "snappy" experience.
It's a really nice looking tablet and a great size for traveling, though I think Samsung should've stepped up the specs at least a tiny bit.
A8 is pretty slow also no matter which memory variant you get. A lot of people will say "I had it and it's find" or "My kid uses it and it's fine".. Which is.. fine lol..
But know that if you switch between apps alot it, as in you press the Recent Apps button, you'll notice it takes an extra second or 2 for it to load the screen. To me that's pretty slow.
