The Galaxy Tab line of tablets are my go to android tablet for drawing. This new S9 FE takes a lot of what I loved about the big brothers and it takes away some features to make it more budget priced and that's where it excels.

Makes zero sense to me to ever buy the more expensive one with more storage when its way cheaper just adding your own memory card
Memory card read/write speeds like to go SLLLOOOOOW BABY!!!
@@StonerSquirrelIt's a tablet, the read/write speeds are fast enough
You have a strong point I feel like that's for people that have money to burn.
Shhhh, don't say that out loud! Otherwise they are going to take that away from us!
If you just loading files like images or things that just need to load once, you are right. If you store a bunch of games or editing a lot of video the SD card will be significantly slower. Personally I would just get an SD too for my usage. The higher capacity tablets usually come with more RAM to handle the files faster, so there is that too.
Great information. I'll definitely pass on this information to my art students and their parents that ask me about going digital. Always look forward to you videos Brad, keep up the great work!
The main reason I went for the galaxy tab s8 plus instead of the tab 7 plus was because the input lag on the s pen is way faster. Galaxy tab s8 are getting cheaper and have a way more powerful processor than the tab 9 fe. Also has 120 hz vs 90
@nickbryant6970 so you'd recommend the s8 vs the s9 fe?
Finally. Thank you for the review i've been waiting for this.
You covered everything (and more) i wanted to know, in this video. Great job! I really wanted to know if i would feel more comfortable drawing on a larger screen and you covered that. I will go with the smaller screen, seeing that you don't miss the ultra screen when you draw on the Fe screen. Thank youuuu! 💚💚💚
I'm thankful i found your channel this is a good help for me!
Thanks a million for your excellent content. I'm new to digital arts, as a 28 year old it feels like something has been missing my whole adult life - that is creative art!! After watching this I am convinced to get the S9 FE. Can't wait to get started and officially become an artist!! 🙏🏼✨️
Thanks for the review. It pretty much answered my request on your cheap vs. steep video.
Love the Samsung tablets, and the FE line are great products! Yes, the iPad Pro (also own that) has more software availability, but I generally find myself using Clip Studio for illustration work anyway. So, if CS is your primary art app (or Autodesk Sketchbook), I would definitely go with a Samsung over iPad for cost and features-for-price. I can also easily transfer files between the FE tablet and my Fold 5 phone (which also uses S pen and CS). As an added bonus, just about all the the Samsung tablets work great with Windows laptops as a stripped-down Wacom tablet or additional display, just like Sidecar for Mac/iPad.
not just like Sidecar, much better, Sidecar is really a inferior solution
I was really on the fence between ipad and samsung but seeing your comment and this video really made me decide. I use alot of PS, CSP and adobe apps and being able to use a tablet for art aswell as a display for my pc made it an easy choice. Only one question, is the S8 better or the s9 FE? S8 is considerably more expensive
@@relentless4843 S8 is definitely better than S9Fe, which as more value depends on the exact price
@relentless4843 I can't say for sure, but the FE versions are simpler versions of the "regular" more featured tablets. I'd say you'll be happy with the S8 or 9FE, whatever your budget allows. When the pandemic started, I broke my 12" 2018 iPad and bought a Samsung Tab S6 lite. It was the first Samsung tablet I used Clip Studio on. So, I think you'll be good whatever your choice.
I am fashion degining student and want to start digital art and digital illustration but i have only budget for around 50k
Which should I choose between this two?
Really enjoy this video I've been trying to figure out if I'm going to get this for school it'll be my first time owning a tablet. And that's what I predominantly I'm going to be using it for.
Was waiting for this!
Love your reviews. I need to give Clip Studio another go with that new interface!
would the s9 fe+ be a good option for drawing and animating on clip studio paint ex? knowing the process of animating does the exynos chip handle all the layers with no lag?
Hey Brad, sorry for the second and late comment, but I wonder if you could do a comparison between S9FE and S9 to see how well the 2 tablets handle large artworks, like time to open/save files, how many layers before the program starts lagging, etc.
I'm guessing there would be a huge difference since my older s7 fe always crashed once I opened more than 10-15 layers.
would you mind covering the Lenovo Tab Extreme? Ive been interested in this tablet based on the specs and performance but i wanted your opinion on it. I think the display out option is really useful too. love your videos and art, thank you for covering an artist's perspective for tablets. hardly ever see it in reviews anymore, i really appreciate it
Oh wow a S9 FE is released!! This is so cool 😮
I have this one and I'm so happy with it!!
I was torn between this and the s9 fe plus for a new tablet that is primarily going to be used for artwork and this video sold me on it! I already use clip studio paint on my home pc and knowing it not only runs great but also has a streamlined simple interface mode is just great! Thank you for this vid!
I've had the fe for about a week now. The S pen just feels a little more responsive than the last generation, and the button doesn't trigger as easily. Personally, I think the slim keyboard and a mouse is the best set up to use with these tablets(for productivity).
Do you have the Slim Keyboard ? I'm hesitating between the two. I love the form factor of the slim but being stuck with only one viewing angle is why I'm leaning more towards the bigger one.
@@KrazyShark I got both and sold the slim, the typing experience on the book cover is much nicer...
@@_Digitalguy Thank you ! I'm definitely going for the big one then 👌
Does it have the second screen feature?
Actually I'm pretty sure every generation samsung reduces the latency of the S-pen more and more! Its at a point where it is 95% close to a real pencil I think.
Would you say it's better to get that or an s8? Because we can still get one for $550, so I've been wondering what would be a better cost/benefit between the two
thanks, can this handle big resolution images with few layers? I mean 300 dpi , a2 / a3 size canvas with few layers?
Hey I really love watching your reviews. May I ask if you encountered any lags, especially when you have too many layers in a drawing application? I also want to ask if maybe you tried animating in this tablet? Thank you
can you plz tell me the best tab under $600, I want it for digital Arts. I'm Waiting for your reply I've to go and buy
How do you feel about this for note taking? Do you suggest any textured screen protector for note taking?
what application do you use to draw?
I'm looking at getting my first tablet to use for drawing and I'm tossed up between this and the Tab S6 Lite, leaning toward this though. Have you found any screen protectors you'd recommend that improve the feel with the S Pen?
any chance you'll review the Lenovo Tab P12? seems like the only large-screen budget option right now, but it's really hard to ffind out if it performs well or not while drawing :/
such a concise & helpful review! thank you :]
Great review. Is there any particular screen protector you would recommend for Samsung tabs?? I've tried some in the past but they seemed to leave in printed 'lines' where I had been drawing, which became quite messy after a while.
I just recently got a matte screen protector for my galaxy tab s9 fe off of Amazon and it's honestly so great! I had one on my old drawing tablet (surface pro 4) that lasted me the 8 years i had it for and wanted to get the same paper-like feel and I found one pretty similar to if off of there.
@@that0nemuffin Thanks. Do you happen to know the make of your new protector? I'd like to give it a try.
"There's a fingerprint sensor on the button instead of the screen" I honestly view that as a bonus. The placement seems better to me.
How much difference would this LCD panel make vs the amoled??
Does the S9 FE+ have the second screen feature? I want the bigger screen but dont need a $1000 device. I cant find anything on that feature.
im gonna buy a tablet and iam choosing between mi pad 6 global 256gb 8gb Ram or s9fe 6gb 128, i like to game too so its hard to choose, in the art regard do you think i lose too much going on xiaomi?
Will definitely consider the FE line.Thank you for a stellar review ✨️
Apologies for asking incase I missed it but what application are you using to draw?
I'm still rocking the Tab s4 10" and it does great in my opinion. It's not as high resolution as the newer tablets, but it is plenty for most projects. That said, this may be the best contender for an upgrade Samsung has put out in a while, as I'm on a budget.
I agree. I got a good deal on my Tab S4 as it was pre-owned and has a dead camera ISP (both cameras don't work at all), but other than that, it's the highest-end configuration which is 256 GB of internal storage plus mobile network support.
The non-functional camera ISP is not a problem for me as I don't really need a camera on a tablet except for document scanning and video conferencing which I can do on my phone.
Another downside with the Tab S4 is that its official keyboard case doesn't have a trackpad (Samsung only added that with the Tab S6), but the case design does allow for ease of use while sitting in a public bus seat and I can get by with using the pen to tap stuff on screen when I'm sitting at a desk.
amazing, complete review as always
eh just one, I don't hear brad talk about the dex this time
Hello does anybody know if it is possible to repair the display from the s9 fe
thanks so much for this! I have been debating for over a year and I guess now it's time! Hello Black Friday sales >D
Which apps that you use to draw? Are they already installed in tab or do we have to buy them?
Which one is better the Xiaomi Pad 6 or the Samsung Tab S9 FE?
What is the drawing app you use on your s9?
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this, I have the s7FE
I have s4 lmfao
I have the Samsung Note 10.1
Got it in 2012 and still works 😭😭
@@UnknownME5official You mean the nothing phone lol?
Thank you so much for this review!
I have a late 2022 ipad pro and pencil 2 and my daughter has been wanting to get into digital art like I do. I have been looking around for a more affordable option for a tablet for her birthday and have been curious about this tablet and how it performs for creative purposes. I love your reviews and I'm sure she's gonna love her new tablet and art lessons!
I dont know about this exact tablet, but I had an older samsung tab and as a beginner, drawing on it was frustrating due to not being able to press undo while the pencil is within 1-2cm of the tablet, as touchscreen gets automatically disabled. Since I make a lot of mistakes I basically want to have 1 hand on the undo button and the other hand using the pencil. This is the main reason why i switched to an ipad which supports touch+pencil at the same time. To undo on the galaxy id basically have to move the pencil a good distance from the screen, then press undo, and then go back to drawing. It felt very disruptive. As for the pencil precision, I think they were similar quality, maybe pressure and tilt are a bit better on the ipad in my opinion
Worth checking if this is the case for this samsung, and if there is a setting to disable it maybe, for my galaxy tab s6 there was no way to change it at the time.
Why would you want anything else when you get procreate on iPad??
@@1anchit it’s my 7 year old’s first tablet and I don’t want to spend nearly $1k on an iPad and Apple Pencil again.
@@petarcakic3396 thank you for the info, I’ll look into it when I get this one. What apps were you using to draw on?
@@aubriemidori oh I thought you said you have it already, so thought you could pass that on :D
Excellent reviews🏅and fun to watch. I am looking for the right device for drawing in Live digital Caricature events. I would appreciate your recommendation: is it possible to settle for the Tab S9FE or better purchase with similar price a 22" or 24" Xp-Pen drawing tablet* (recommended model?), which allows more comfortable space for drawing and has a presence at the event, but requires moving around with a computer?
*Since this is portrait painting, the question of whether it is possible to draw vertically with the XP-Pen is important?
Hi, does putting on a screen cover on it effects the use of pencil? Its like my cursor is following my one, at a one specific area it even makes a cursor make a curve. Could it be because of the guard?
Thank you for the detailed review!
I am eyeing this bad boy, but i'd REALLY need to hear something more in-depth about performance, specifically on clip studio paint. How does it handle the app? how many layers can it handle at a decently high resolution? haven't seen anyone talk about that so far and that's really what would matter the most to me
Ive been waiting for your review on S9 FE , because this is something that seems "worth it" not too expensive but gives a near flagship experience it is latest , I'll be getting in med school in a few months and im up for getting a new tab for notetakimg and drawing by next year ,its a double thumbs up!
I am on my second year of medical school and I am waiting for this tablet's delivery. Good luck in your medical school, hope you will enjoy it and won't burn out💖💖💖
Im in 3rd medical year and im waiting for mine too haha ! @@lampreybowyer
@@lampreybowyerwhat's your verdict?
@@cosmicsoul_wav hey, I absolutely love it! The tablet is amazing, recommend it 100%. I am not an expert, but I like it.
Hi! What's the app ur using for drawing on this galaxy tab? Thank u in advance!
I'm getting torn between S7 FE or S9 FE, hope you compare them soon!
In your opinion which would be a better pick for drawing, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 9 FE or the Xiaomi Pad 6? (taking their pens into comparison too)
A lot of reviews i saw says xiaomi pad 6 is of much better value but unfortunately it doesn't come with the pen included in the box n that's kind of a deal breaker for me.
Im deciding between s9 fe or pen displey Xp pen 16 pro, what is better option in your opinion. Both product have simular price in my country . Right now i have cheap one by wacom(non display)
All I watch is your drawing ❤
Is this tablet ok with animation with layers? Also is it worth it buying S9 instead? Or is the difference nit that big of a deal?
Hi I was thinking to buy this I pad for my college, do u know if 128 GB or 256 GB storage will be enough? Thanks.
Does the Galaxy Tab S9 FE support HDMI output through a HDMI adapter or hub with HDMI?
What apps you usually use to this samsung s9 fe or fe plus?and what is most friendly user apps?advance thanks
Hello do you think it is a good idea for me to buy the xencelabs medium bundle over a wacom tablet
thanks so much for the review!
i heard they also released S Pen Creator Edition as well
would love to see comparison video between that 3rd party apple pencil, spen and more!
What is the difference between the vanilla Spen and the Creator edition Spen?
@@elm4gician Creater Edition is bigger and and the tip is much larger
@@starblissgames ohhh seems like a very good pen. but i also saw that wacom sells a pen. The S9 FE can work with other pens?
@@elm4gician All Galaxy devices that support the S Pen use Wacom technology, so yes, a Wacom pen will work. Also, if you consider the Creator Edition Pen, be cautious as I hear the quality is kinda cheap and the tips are very fragile. There is also no replacement tips you can buy for it, at least not officially.
@@starblissgames so in that case would you recommend look for a wacom pen instead?
Can I use an idmi adapter on this tablet? I got one and I'm thinking about buying one of those USB adapters with hdmi and USB ports, I do lots of presentations at school where I need to connect my device to a TV
I'm planning to use this primarily for song lyrics on stage, using notebook, good for that?
What drawing app are you drawing that pumpkin with? It looks awesome.
Plesse tell us wich is better this one or the xiaomi pad 6 almost the same price, but the snapdragon vs exynos for clip studio i dont know
Which app are you using for graphic design or drawings???
Does it come with the s pen or do you have to buy it?
I ordered this device on Monday. Should get it end of the week. I currently have a s5fe . Just running out of room time to upgrade.
What's the app name that you used in this video to draw the pumpkins? It looks amazing!
Hello Brad, and everyone. I just got this tablet but it is really hard to find the nibs for the SPen. I saw that the Wacom nibs might fit, but I am not sure which model. Has anyone tried this?
Can I ask what drawing app you are using in this video?
The Microsoft Slim Pen 2 does indeed work with the Surface Pro 3. But...
(I'm posting this here, merely because it is your most recent video. But I thought you would like to know this because your first review was of the Surface Pro 3.)
It's not perfect, but it works much better than the older, round Surface Pens. (And I've tried two models of the older pens.) With the older pens, the diagonal line wobble is quite pronounced , and the "wavelength" of the wobbles is about 3/8 of an inch. With the Slim Pen 2, there is almost no wobble, but there is a bit of jitter that is about 15% of the amplitude of the wobble on the older pens. And the wavelength of said jitter is only a couple of pixels.
With the older pens, using stabilization was not as effective as one would like because the wavelength of the wobble was so long that you had to turn up the stabilization in your apps pretty high to get rid of the wobble. Some dynamic stabilization methods reduce the stabilization when you are drawing slowly, but this is exactly when the wobble on the older pens is the worst. Either way, this made it so that it was hard to draw details accurately.
But with the Slim Pen 2, the jitter is slight enough that you can have stabilization turned way down, and just use standard stabilization (instead of the aforementioned dynamic methods). That way you can almost eliminate the jitter while still being able to draw details.
And the pressure sensitivity is a little bit smoother with the Slim Pen 2.
However, even though the Slim Pen 2 does have tilt capabilities, the Surface Pro 3 does not detect that, as determined by patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/pen-tracker/ (this is a web page that reads and displays the data that your laptop is sensing about the stylus). However, it is still better than nothing.
Overall, I'm not quite sure if it was really worth the $178 (US) I just paid for both the Slim Pen 2 and the Charger. But, I guess I'm keeping it (rather than returning it) because it moves me just barely over that imaginary line from not really feeling like using my Surface Pro 3 for "real" drawing/sketching, to it being at least good enough for me to start practicing for the few years it will take for me to decide I need something much better.
mate.... video editing on the s9 fe? capcut?
Thanks for this review please can you tell me the apps that you use them to draw
I've got a Samsung S5E is it worth updating to this for playing games and watching You tube, movies etc...?
which app you are using in this video?? Please anyone know the name, comment me.
your the only one I trust with these things bro, Love your content!
Which pencil you are using
Great review! Thanks.
What would you recommend between this tablet and the xiaomi pad 6? Very curious about your recommendation as im looking to get a tablet for art+ other college activities and ive been following yohr channel for a while!
I like the S-pen a lot more. Both are good tablets but the samsung pen is better
@@thebradcolbow
What size of RAM did you choose on galaxy tab s9 fe?
The s pen creator edition has released, I'm excited to see if you review it!
Mine just came in the mail today!
What is the cost?
@@jaihind8529 129 Canadian dollars
@@jaihind8529100 $ i guess
@@thebradcolbow hope you make a vid on this!!
What software are you using on your S3 FE to draw?
This one or iPad Mini 6? Im into android but I need IOS for Sonos Trueplay eventually.
Is painter app like pro create and can you use real life photo's from google to draw on? Not sure what one to get the ipad gen 9 or get this samsung one in this video only want one for drawing and to do merch
I had a Tab A6 10.1 with spen, azing tablet for 7 years, now i got the s9 fe 8/256gb version and it runs amazing to me
When can we expect the One UI 6 on the Tab S9 FE? Samsung has no where mentioned any tentative date of the update for it
is it portable like ipad mini cause i think if i have ipad mini it's always going to be with me like a phone because of it's portability and size ?
Just got this before watching any review and started to question my decision. Good to know I made the right choice. The processor isn't an issue since my father will only be using it for light office tasks.
do you need to buy the sim version to put a memory card in?
I got a tab S8, a case, a 512gig SDXC uhs1 card, titanium metal nib replacements, and a paper like screen protector for less than 580usd
I very much love it
Where Amazon? I want to buy also and a package same like yours for only 500$ less
Thanks a lot! Love your videos. What would you get? the S7 FE or the S9 FE?
Late answer, but I think s7 is too outdated already
Would it be worth upgrading from the S7 ultra tablet to the 9 fe
Can we open 2 Excel Sheets in Dex mode ?
Looking to get Tab S9 FE or suggest a Tablet
Can i Sync the Excel Sheet to 3 or more Devices
So whatever i change it also changes on all my Devices
Eg: 2 Phone, 1 Tab & Windows Laptop
How do i do that ?
Please share link on how to set that up
Hi, what soft are you using for drawing in this video ? Thank you
Clip studio paint
Where I am from this s9 fe and iPad 10 are almost same price which one should I buy for note taking? ( obvs I’ll have to buy the Apple Pencil separately)
Dear Madam, Is there any difference in note taking experience between Samsung Tab S9 plus and S9 FE plus ?
I am confused between Samsung s9 fe vs Lenovo p12, which will be best for daily tasks and few graphics design softwares?
Debating should I get this or S9+? What do you recomend?
are the photo editing details the same as in your xiaomi video? Misleading....
Now that the S-pen creator edition is finally out I'd love to see the opinions of an actual creator as to whether it's worth it or not
I recently acquired the tab s9 fe plus and I'm having problems with the canvas rotation function, sometimes I'm drawing some details and when it's time to rotate, it simply doesn't rotate (predictive trace disabled), it seems like it's processing something, and I was using the tab s4 4gb ram and didn't have this problem.
I tested it on Skechbook and Infinit Painter
i didn't even know there was a FE version until I stumbled across a listing online. I primarily use my tablet to read but I want to get into digital sketching on the side. If I had the money, I'd go all out with one of the S9 tabs but I'm on a tighter budget so this is a great alternative. I've been rocking a Tab E for almost 10 years and I want an upgrade that will last me just as long.
Which textured screen protector would you recommend please? Nice review.
