  • The new Galaxy Tab S9 is the smallest premium tablet in Samsung's lineup. The upgrades this year include a new processor, larger speakers, an IP68 water & dust resistance rating (a first for mainstream tablets) & a display that's finally on par with the bigger sizes. Is this android tablet worth the $800 asking price?

      Personal experiences ...

      2. Battery life less than S8 - underwhelming.
      3. Hotspot WiFi 6e triband for S9 Vs WiFi 6e dual and for S8.
      Otherwise, not much differences.✌️🥹

      Still have the S6 with the onscreen finger print reader. Lol, really had no idea that that was being sold as a feature nowadays (didn't now s7 and s8 lost this).
      Anyway, sold my s7+ for the s9 and this is the worthy successor of the s6.
      Just a quirk though, when charging the s6 I could see charging time, lost it in the s7+ and still haven't got it back in the s9? Or I'm I missing something?

    The base model Tab S9 is a HUGE upgrade from the base model Tab S8. And its screen size is the legacy size for the Tab S series so it's sufficient for most users who don't need bigger display. If I don't already have the Tab S8+, I would totally consider getting the base model Tab S9.

      Why i kept S7, I use it mainly for reading, and honestly, the S23 ultra's screen is so good that it makes everything else pale in comparison. On my S8+ now watching content. I appreciate having multiple sizes. The big tablet made no sense since I have two laptops. I love S7 for cozy work, too. I never notice the processor, screen brightness, or age as long as it performs. I'm getting my money's worth.

      @unique-xin it's a personal decision. If you plan to upgrade in a few years go with s9 next year go with S8. You will get trade-in value. I'm keeping my S7 for another year. It's very comfortable. Both are still getting upgrades, surprisingly for S7. Do a side by side comparison including price.

Video design is top too. Wish you success and all the best.

    I agree with you Thao. The size on the S9 is perfect. I previously had an S7+ and traded it for the S8. The smaller form factor is just way better for lap/couch use. If you primarily use it at a desk then maybe the bigger size is better (or using it as straight up laptop replacement) but for me the small form factor is the one I use the most.

    Waited for your Tab S9 video, Watch6 next please 😊.
    I just got the Tab S9+ and I really love it. I'm using Galaxy Tabs since Tab S2 and yes they improved a lot over the years. I don't agree with bad app experience though, as with popup window or splitscreen you can force any stubborn app to work (e.g. Insta, which btw doesn't behave on iPads either). I have an M1 iPad Pro too, but honestly I really prefer the Samsung in almost all aspects. This of course matters on how you use your tablet. I don't do big video projects. 😅 The only apps I'm missing are the Affinity ones, but to be honest, when I need them, I'm using them on my PC not my iPad. No tablet can replace a laptop. Maybe I'm not the typical customer, but using Smartphones since Android 2.2, phones getting bigger an bigger, I'm now perfectly fine using a relatively small Phone (S22) during the day, but when at home again, then switching over to the tablet and its big screen. Feature packed with Goodlocks (OneHand opertion is a much have) it's a much better and so more relaxing experience that wouldn't be possible even with a real big smartphone.

    I was weighing the base and the plus model. I bought the base (11") and I really like this tablet. It is a tablet and needs to be portable and easy to use hence I did not want a huge device. I preordered it and got the increase in memory, plus my company also had a discount. A really good move and I just put in a 512Gb SD memory card so I was able to upload all of my music and musical scores. Now to integrate my pedal for turning pages.

    I just upgraded from a tab S4. Yes, that's correct. 2023 and I'm still rocking the S4. LoL. Anyhoo, I just picked up the S9 plus today. This thing is amazing. I was considering the ultra, but the size, particularly when using in portrait mode, was just a bit too much for me. The plus will do just fine. Samsung is currently giving away a free slim keyboard cover with these units, so that's a nice bonus. Coming from an S4, there's a ton of features I've yet to get into, but so far this thing is damn impressive. Not the cheapest for sure, but no regrets on the purchase.

    The Tab S6 is when they got the design right on the outside, but the Tab S7/S7+ was the beginning of them locking on to what it means to make an overall premium android tablet. Each year since they have refined the experience, and it's been up to Android itself to catch up. While it can't replace a PC 100%, its much better than say, a chromebook or a budget laptop (under $500 USD). And if you're already familiar with the Android/Samsung ecosystem, you'll fit right in. Worried about price? You can always dip your toes into the Tab S8 lineup for a cheaper price, OR the 2022 refreshed Tab S6 lite, which beefed it up from the 2019/2020 versions, and you can get it for $300 USD or less with deals.
    Me personally, imma wait one more year to upgrade from my Tab S7+. It still has solid battery life & security updates into the next year, and then I can get what should be a beautiful Tab S10 Ultra.

    The Goldielocks sized Tab S6 has been my favorite device the past two years (bought refurbished/new not boxed for $320). It has a SuperAMOLED also. I bought it as a video monitor for flying my drone while filming, but it became obvious that it beats my Windows Thinkpad for most tasks. I would buy the S9 for its 12GB RAM, IP rating, faster processor and 120 Hz refresh. Q: it's advertised as 915 nits brightness-- is this only accessible under Dolby Vision while watching HDR content or is there a manual toggle to force it like the S23 phone has?

    Whatever writing app I would use, the app would get REALLY hot just on the area that has the palm - centre bottom area.
    I am an educator and wanted to use the tab primarily to make notes and take classes so being able to write for a couple of hours at a stretch is something I wanted to do.

    Damn I love what Samsung’s doing with their tablets! I have no intention of moving away from my 11” iPad Pro, but I would really like to have that OLED display instead of the still very good IPS LCD. Also I prefer the smaller 11” size too. For a secondary device to my laptop it’s easier to carry around and it’s such a comfortable size to cozy up to in bed or on the couch to watch videos.

    I might get the S9+ after the release of the Tab S10 series. Love my TabS7 but want an upgrade. Sorry to be a pain, could you go through how you set the tablet up? Love that home screen calender

    I just got the Galaxy Tab S9 as a birthday gift from my Dad this year and it is worth it! I'm glad that Samsung finally decided to put an OLED screen on the base S9 because aside from that, The size is perfect for me and the sound of its speakers are already very good as well.

    @Thao, are you expecting a new Tab S to be unveiled this summer? I'm still on my Tab S6 and am looking to upgrade. I don't think it makes sense to do it now if an upgrade is coming.
    Would love it if they went back to colors, though.

    As far as Photoshop/Photo Editing goes, one of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth.
    I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As you mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software...
    Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is!
    The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil...
    I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT.
    If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500...

    question: I own a Tab S7+ but the keyboard cover is old and a bit damaged, do you think that the keyboard from the S9+ will fit?
    Or at least the keyboard, I can continue using the back kick stand cover.

    I have the S9, and while I agree there are some apps that are not tablet compatible, I find it worse on my iPad Mini 6. Many apps just aren't good on the Mini, such as CZcams, where the slider to fast forward is almost unusable. The Mini also has a terrible keyboard that takes up too much space in landscape and not large enough in portrait. On the S9, just use Dex with web pages and it is basically a laptop repacment. The lack of customization on the iPad is frustrating to me.

    OK, even though you semi disrespected my Tab S9+ that I JUST GOT YESTERDAY ! lol - I gave you a thumbs up. This is a beauty, transferred all my stuff from my Tab 6 Lite via USB-C in no time ! I've been watching as many Tips & Tricks videos to optimize this puppy as I can and it sure pays off ! Got it mostly for watching content, reading magazines and a few other things - best buy I have made in awhile. Nice review . . . . . . . . . . . except . . . . . . . . . . . . you know . . . . . . . . . . . when you attacked my S9+ !!😁

    Just received my galaxy tab s9+ and was comparing it to my s7fe before I send it in to complete the trade in. I found something interesting but not sure if it's just my unit or if it's something samsung did intentionally but it looks like compared to the s7fe, the screen saturation has been toned down on the amoled to the point where the s7fe's colors actually look nicer! I found similar trend when I went from the fold 3 to the s23 ultra, and the screen saturation between the s23 ultra and my tab s9+ seems similar so I don't think it's a defect but don't seem to see this toning down of saturation mentioned in reviews so thought I'd ask to see if you noticed this on the s9 series versus previous galaxy tabs

      Except for the Aspect ratio.. having a taller screen with Oleds makes for uneven degradation when watching videos especially considering a lot of Nerflix.. Hbo.. content is even wider with huge letterbox blackbars.

My one complaint with my tablet, the battery just seems to drain a little bit quicker than I'd like. That's literally it. I can live with that. Samsung's S tablets are bonkers!

    Excellent video. I'm an Android guy but I have an iPad for bigger media consumption. Since I got my S23 Ultra, it has been used more than my iPad and reminded me of why I love my Androids. I'm glad Samsung has stepped up its tablet game and now I can have both a tablet and phone by them and step away from the iPad. You gave a great review of the size I want. It would be my iPad replacement and 11" is great for travel and couch moments.

    I have the tab S8, and I actually appreciate the LCD given it's the smallest model, I have to obviously have it closer to my face because it's a smaller display, so the LCD really helps with my eyes. I bet it does help having an OLED with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 though
