As soon as we compare the displays on the Tab S9 and the Tab S9 FE - we immediately see some super important differences. You see, there are times when you can get a better value by spending less money but there are also times when spending more is actually worth it. So when Samsung released the FE - or fan edition of the Tab S9 - I was super curious to see if it’s a better value than the flagship version - or if more is actually more. And to be clear, there is a massive price difference right now - with the FE version being half the price of the Flagship model.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Tab S9 and the Tab S9FE E was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Friend, I don't understand why you block me on the neighboring network, Instagram.. what's the reason?
we should talk about this 7:24
Could you please tell me which screen is brighter.
Where can I get these wallpapers?
I agree with you, that S90 FE is an extremely good value for the budget conscious.
I appreciate you watching Bryan, and for contributing to the community 🙏🏻
the s is made for rich but a brand new tablet for that price is dope
S90 fe 💀💀💀
S9 lmao not 90 😂
Because I got great trade-ins I have an S9 ultra and an S9 FE. The FE was a little buggy but the last update seemed to correct that. It does feel slower when drawing and the updates take a lot longer with the FE. But if you can get a deal it's a great little portable device. The S9 ultra is an amazing device but I would never call it portable.
Super appreciate you sharing your experience!!! Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏🏻
Which types of update , me also have FE model but I haven't got any update plzz can u elaborate
Yea 14.6" is WAY too big for a tablet. This is literally bigger than laptops
I bought the tab S7 FE in late 2022. Still works great and has good battery. I hope they continue to release FE editions I'm the future so I have that option when I finally need to upgrade
That’s great to know!!! Appreciate you sharing your experience and co fronting to the community. I also want them to keep making FE versions.
How was it when streaming netflix, disney plus, etc on it? Does it suffer from dimming like the Ipad Pro M2 and Iphone 15 Pro Max?
I have a pc and a switch for gaming, for classes and casual media consumptio I use the S9 FE, and it's great, specially paired with my wh1000xm5
Nice setup!!!
So is the FE good for general browsing, youtube videos, etc? How long do you think the performance will last and how long would it receive updates?
Yes, we are waiting for those videos of the autonomy of each of the Samsung tablets.
And here we go! 🙏🏻
Can you please tell me where you get your walpapers from. They look interesting
Got an FE+ alongside my Z Fold 5, if I want my 120hz beautiful amoled fix I can, use my z folds big screen, I needed a tablet for university which DEX is by far and a way the best way to do that, I prefer the power button reader, the price is insane value for the tablet itself and I love the mint colour of it so was a no brainer for me
Hey, can you talk about the relevance of Tab S7+ in 2024? Cause looking at the tab segment, its still the best value tab with large display, an Oled screen and decent enough horsepower.
I just got one for my sister, it has best visuals for consuming content, is a good note taking device and has a good power overall. Plus, the pen comes included, saving on that cost.
I would like to see how it is compared to the the new Samsung tabs with Oled display that start at almost double the price of S7+
Suggestion content, Battery Drain Test of All Tab S9 Line Up, namely S9, S9+, S9 FE, S9 FE+, and S9 Ultra 🙏🙏🙏
OK hold up. The heck is that green xray thing. I want one!
How much does the battery drain per hour while connected to the internet? My s9 tablet's battery drops to 14% per hour😢
Bravo, super review 👍 I'd like to know if there's a big difference between 6 and 8g ram? My personal use is web browsing and watching videos.
Thank you. There will not be a big difference. Hope that helps!
@@TechGearTalk Thank you. I have the option of buying the S9 but for just browsing the internet and watching streaming video on a big screen the S9FE has to suffice.
For those purposes - you're unlikely to notice the difference.
I'm considering the FE for just watching video and web browsing etc when travelling. I don't game on tablets as I have a Nintendo switch for that. Will the FE be good enough for that? I have an old Galaxy Tab A and it's so slow, it's painful.
Yes, it will be plenty good for browsing the web and watching video.
Where do you get those wallpapers??
Help please! I’m seeking a tablet to watch lecture videos, read books, take notes, web surfing and some light gaming on Roblox. I can buy Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE for $340 USD or Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for $560 USD. I expect to keep this tablet around 3 years, will likely trade up after that. I don’t want it slowing down on me in that period of time. As I’ll be looking at the screen for long periods of time, I want to reduce eye strain/damage to eyesight. I need spill protection as I’m a klutz 😂. Which tablet do you recommend for me?
My old Tab S4 is still working well, but I found an amazing deal on a 5G S9 with slim keyboard at $400 in mint condition. At this price, even the FE is more expensive....
Incredible deal - wow!!!
@@smackall69 I guess the seller wanted to sell it fast and I bargained to get the price down from 500 (which was already low) to 400 and he accepted...
Wow where did you find it ?
Where did you get 5G version of Galaxy 9.
Galaxy tab s9 with 5g does not exist!! Only FE9 and A9 have cellular connection 😮
Whare can I get those wallpapers?
Thanks for this content it's very helpful for me.
Glad to hear that! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Where do you get the wallpapers?
Between the tab s8, s9 and s9 FE, which one do you think will be the most "reliable" /stay "reliable" the longest? I got the s7 2 years ago but it started to malfunction a couple weeks ago. I got it specifically for my university studies so it's important to me that it keeps working smoothly. Warranty hasn't expired but they don't sell the s7 anymore so I might have to choose a newer model and pay the price difference. The dfference for s8 would be €50 but for the s9 more than €250 and I don't really know if it's worth that much more... S9 FE is less than I originally paid for the s7 though but I'm concerned about the performance, I don't want anything les than the s7 I'm used to😅
Thank you for watching. Tab S9 is definitely the best option of longevity is the primary concern. Hope that helps.
Go with s9 if u can afford ... I got s8 and i can say s9 is better for long term .
Well I'm back... My S7 stopped malfunctioning and was running smoothly again, so I just kept it. 10 days after warranty expired a new software-update came and when I tried updating, it got stuck in a software-loop. Now they're telling me they think the motherboard has a defect since they can't get it to work again. So my S7 tablet has had a lifespan barely 2 years and Samsung refuse to compensate me! Been 2 months of calling around but their service has been absolutely horrible. So getting the most expensive "flagship" tablet does apparently not guarantee a decent lifespan😡
I need to take notes and keep them for atleast 2 years. So there will be many notes.
Which ipad or tablet ( and storage) would you suggest ? Gaming is not a concern. Budget is not a problem but want a value for money device
(Student)
That’s a low bar for performance - pretty much any recent tablet would do. The Samsung ones you could always add a microsd card so you have plenty of cheap storage.
I agree 💯 with Sagi ☝🏻, and would just add, beyond just cost, ask yourself what else you'll be using the tablet for.
The Samsung Galaxy Tabs and the iPad are both great for note-taking, but the display aspect ratio of each is different. Samsung tablets have a 16:10 aspect ratio, iPads are 3:2. I far prefer the Samsungs' ratio for media consumption, since it has significantly smaller "black bars" when viewing content - esp long movies.
There are other differences to consider as well: With iPads, you have to step all the way up to the M1 or M2-chip 12.9" iPad Pro (mini-LED display) to get roughly the equivalent of the Galaxy Tab S9's OLED screen.
As Sagi pointed out, storage quickly becomes much more $$ with iPads because they don't have the micro-SD card slot that comes standard with Galaxy Tabs. And no iPad comes with the Pencil in the box, whereas all current Galaxy tablets (FE and above) include the S-pen.
Lastly, productivity-wise, I love DeX on the Galaxy Tabs; iPads have no equivalent.
Perhaps iPads' biggest advantages are their stronger processors (A- or M-series), 5 years of OS updates, apps that are specifically optimized for iPad (iPadOS), and overall Resale value if you decide to sell your tablet or trade it in down the road (that said, Samsung offers generous trade-in prices on their own tablets & phones).
Personally, the ipad's screen ratio is so much better for note taking or typing documents on landscape or portrait even. If you're going for ipad and have a ton of notes I'd probably go with the 128GB+ options. Like the other commenter said, apple pencil's separate so you'll need to buy it to take notes
Meanwhile on samsung, they provide a nice pen experience with the high refresh rate. The wide screen on landscape is not my thing for notetaking but if it were on portrait or the plus model on landscape then I dont mind.
@@sharkfintech5893 Do you think the s9 fe have a good size for notes taking?
When we will get to see the battery drain test of S9 tablet?
Is the size of s9 fe good for note taking?
There is a £160 difference between S9FE (8GB/256GB) and S9(8GB/128GB) in where I live. Now, I am not a power user, Im just gonna use the tablet for media purposes and light office work. My concern is the tablet's longevity. Is the price difference between the two justifiable? I want something that would last for at least 5 years.
I would for sure get the Tab S9 if the price is even close.
Can you help me? I'm still thinking if whether I'll trade in my s9 fe plus for tab s9 considering it will cost me about $215 dollars more. I'm a university student and into a tech course, im also a video editor. I'm thinking if I should make the switch for CPU and display.
Samsung's mistake was not including the display out feature on Tab S9 Fe, downgrade from Tab S7 Fe
Tab a9+ 5g is better which has more RAM and dex features, but the price is cheaper
It’ll be super interesting to see how the market responds to this.
hii do you have future update info about thin edges tablet/ipad? i'm looking for one but i'm tired of thick edges screen in 2024
where can I find those wallpapers 😢😢
Hi ! I might have been confused about DEX and using it as a second screen. im mainly going to connect tne tablet to a projector, could both be connected to the projector for presentations ?
Nop3
Do you think it is worth to get the s9 fe+ instead of the s9 fe if the prices are almost the same? For the deals that I got, the price diference between those two is like USD40 (its not a big diference when you consider the prices os the tablets in my country) and I choose the s9fe+ because it has more ram, but im still in doubt if I shoud keep it or return it and get the s9fe instead.
Even though I am not going to use it for heavy tasks, I also want to be able to use it for some years without running out of ram when apps get upgraded, etc, but idk if those extra 2gb will be really useful in the future or not
Obs: I know that the best options for longevity wouldn't be the fe series, but the other ones (the s9 or the s8) are a lot expansive where I live, both of them are almost the double of the price that I paid on the s9 fe+ and it wouldn't be worth it to me pay this much more bc, as I say, im not going to use it for heavy tasks
I'd rather pick S9 FE+ if it's a lot cheaper, and because IT'S NOT AMOLED. I want my electronic to last at least 5 years, that's why AMOLED is a no.
Where can i find that wallpaper?
How do you compare the displays between S9 and S9FE ? Are these too close in terms of brightness and outdoor experience?
For that - they are fairly close.
I got the s9 for 2 big reasons:
Quad Speaker
Amoled.
What about xiaomi pad 6? Which is better and affordable?
always enjoy your content.
Is the S9 really that big of a difference over the S9 FE when you’re just viewing photos and videos that have been transferred from your phone?
Thank you
No
Will old school runescape and runescape 3 run perfect on Tab S9 FE?
USB-C 2.0 and no DEX Support for external display were the dealbrakers for me with the FE.
If those are features you need - that makes complete sense. What did you go with?
@@TechGearTalk i bought the Tab S9 on Black Friday for 600$
That's also a deal breaker for me. Was thinking of using a tablet as a laptop replacement for school (notes and typing).
Now I have to look for deals on the S9 (unlikely) or try and find an S8 which seem to be sold out everywhere...
You get what you pay for...
I really want the tab s9 but tab s9 fe Is cheaper and I don't think my mother would pay for like lowest price $700 tablet but I've had this tablet, Samsung a7 an old module and I had it for 5yrs. So I really hope to get a new one on my birthday or something.
Thanks ❤ I bought the FE 😊
I am a student who need an extra screen when studying or doing research may be taking notes some times, so which one Samsung tab is best to use in college with a budget which is not that high
Probably fe plus ones!
If u look for Amazon sales they have one rn
Hello tech i am a student and i want to purchase it which one is better for me s9 or s9 fe.
I will not use it to play games and other heavy work so which one is better.
Watching this from my S9 tab😊❤
Do you find it small?
Seems like a squished ipad display wise.
@@Haymaker72 Its not small.Its perfect for my everyday note taking for college.
Thanks❤
What is the green x-ray thing
I’m going to purchase the 9FE just to get out of the Apple ecosystem!! Seriously…I have an iPhone and MacBook and I need a break
The place where I live you can buy tab s9(8/128) and iPad 10(4/256) for the same price. Which one you could suggest for a long term(student usages)
I haven’t done that comparison yet but have compared it with the air 5
czcams.com/video/SSgc7dzrwFk/video.html and the s9 FE vs iPad 10 czcams.com/video/_ncEocsH_t4/video.htmlsi=1bWQ9wfJ4rOgVtMZ I hope one of those helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Just got the s9 week ago its a powerhouse with excellent display😊
AMAZING!!! So happy for you! Thank you for being part of the channel!
is there a big difference between tab s9 fe vs fe plus?? or is it the same?
I believe it's mostly a size difference but I haven't compared super in depth
Hello! I need tab for study and work. I'm looking at these tablets bc they have s pen and i'll be able to work comfortably with documents. Which one is more reasonable to take s9 or s9 FE?
U can pick S9 FE. I use it for note taking or work, and it works well. A lil buggy doesn't bother anyway. But if you want to use it as a gaming device, i recommended you to pick S9 instead.
Great Video channel.... thanks!!
Oh wow - thank you so much. I appreciate you being part of the channel.
The most important to me that 9fe have internet connection. Going outside of WIFI area makes galaxy 9 useless to me.
Is there an upcoming battery test for these tablets?
Yes!
Hi! Which is better for you?
S8 plus vs S9 fe plus
I'm not sure
s8 if its the same price as The fe
"Agressive tail" 😃
It’s true 😂🤣
So is S9 FE enough for reading e-books, taking notes and watching movies?
Yes, it is.
TGT.. folks want these wallpapers. pls share
Which one is better for note taking for University students (Math)?
or should I wait for Tab S 10 and its fe?
Both are equal in terms of note taking.. you won't really notice any difference. Suggetion: go for FE if ur major is note taking and drawing stuffs.
I would save money and get the FE. You can easily take notes on both.
Thank you so much for replying ☺️
If the s7+ and s9 fe are the same price, which would be better? Learning to s7+ because of amoled screen
If you care about update, go for s9 Fe. S7+ no longer received updates, if i am not mistaken plus that also old gen processor.
My 15 day old tab s8 wifi is having 10-15% idle battery drain ..even on airplane mode ,wifi bluetooth autosync off with most app deepsleeping.
Should i get its batter replaced???
That’s really strange. Everything updated?
@@TechGearTalk yes everything updated .. only 2-3 addition apps installed on tab .. still i m facing this issue .. some people saying its due to. Inefficient sd8gen1 but this much idle drain is unacceptable.
8:19 Can I please know what the difference is between dual display feature and the second screen one?
Thank you for watching. Dual display is connecting an external display to the tablet and then having 2 displays to use. Second screen is using a laptop or a desktop and then being able to use the tablet as an additional screen for your laptop or desktop. Hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk Oh, thank you so much!!! I understand it now, and I appreciate your quick response. 😁😇 Just to let you know, all of your videos are very helpful to me in deciding the best samsung tablet for myself Looking into the future, do you believe there might be a price drop in the future this year? Your answer is crucial to me as I'm a student and samsung student's program gives only around 50 usd as a discount. Please let me know if there any other ways I can get discounts. On second thought, I am thinking about buying a refurbished tablet. Can I know your opinion on this one too?
i got tab s9 fe and keyboard cover both in 360 dollars from samsung india store. at this price it is unbeatable.
Amazing deal!!!
Would anyone here recomend the s9ultra for note taking and reading PDF files? Or I would be better off with s9+ s0+FE? Thanks
The ultra is amazing if you want the larger size and have the budget. But both of the other options would work and are a lot less expensive.
@@TechGearTalk yeah, im mainly worried about the weight and size being unconfortable to use (s9Ultra ) but that would be mainly used with keyboard as a laptop replacement so extra screen real estate might be a good idea. As you mentioned in a video im leaning to s9+ or Ultra because its a bit better future proofing with more powerful cpu and better screen. Thanks for replay! I love the style of videos and they are definetly informative, cheers!
Is there any huge difference in apps in samsung tablets and ipads?
No, just some professional apps, for designers and content creator
But believe me, you wouldn't use them as they are best for laptop not tablet
Else all day to day usage apps are better in samsung
Mostly the iPad has better creator-specific apps. But you can accomplish things on both
@@TechGearTalk one thing I want to ask is we know ipads are known for their longevity and that's the reason why I am not buying galaxy Tab s9+ but I like samsung's features and dex mode especially... Are galaxy flagship tablets show any sign of aging like slowing down or something.. Will they last for 5 years without any issue if I take good care
@@King_Of_Cheonliang06 I also feel like that
@sir_ionhard7067 If it's any help, I'll weigh in. I'm going into year 4 of owning and loving my Galaxy Tab S7 Plus (256 GB storage/8 GB RAM). Still running very strong 💪🏻
My only gripe is that back then, Samsung was only offering 3 years of OS updates - so my Tab isn't getting Android 14 nor any future versions (it's still receiving security patches).
But if you understand how Android works, being "stuck" on Android 13 isn't exactly "catastrophic", because all the apps will continue to function properly as long as the app's Dev team supports them. So theoretically, I can continue enjoying the tablet until battery life/health, or overall system performance, becomes unbearably bad 😅
Apple is different because their software is much more dependent on those OS updates for apps (or programs with Mac) to work smoothly (or at ALL) longer-term.
Also, My 9.7" Gen 5 iPad (2017), despite its battery seeming still strong, has been VERY laggy for a year or more now, to the point where I typically only use it for watching CZcams videos & streaming sporting events.
SO, my suggestion is -- if you're determined to buy an iPad, go with an M-series-chip-equipped model (Air or Pro) if you want the best "future-proofing" regarding performance.
Finally found a tab that might be a good upgrade for my aging tab s3. 😂
Nice! Which one?
@@TechGearTalk the tab s9 (just the standard model) i recently dropped my tab s3 really bad and cracked the screen. I abused the thing really bad due to heavy use. Even the aluminium is deteriorating from the sweat of my palms haha. And beceause i had bad experiences with screen replacements i thought meh. Why not replace the whole thing with a newer model XD
S9 is good for photoshop? Is there anyone try it?
The tablet I got is a Samsung galaxy tab A 8.0 (2019) with 8.00 display , storage 32 gb , battery capacity 5100mAh , resolution 800x1280 mah
Which is better to watch movies, have a better battery life,listening to podcasts/music i cant decide which one i want for this video
I want a tablet that the battery lasts longer
i found the s9 fe in costco for 549.99 should i wait for lower price or should i wait for them to get the s9?
Does the samsung tab a series last long?
i mean for me yea i had it for a couple of years now only problem is not alot of storage tbh but overall good, i just want a new tablet because i want more storage and galaxy s9 has 128 storage i think@@novita7919
had it for a couple years I think maybe 3 or 4 years maybe even more tbh im not sure , but it only has 32 gb and its not enough storage in my opinion and thats why i wanna get s9 because it has more storage and its bigger tablet @7919
How can I get the same wallpaper ??😁😁❤
Im also searching
i am gonna buy the S9 FE
Thank you so much for this review. I'll definitely get the S9. 🙂
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Do you think its size is good for using the s pen?
@@eucomigomesmo7323 I have it for two weeks and have no complains at all. I already had a S6 lite (still have, in fact). I confess I didn´t feel quite a difference on the writing with the S Pen. And the bigger display is +++, I´m loving it! Before buying, I had the chance to check on a nearby store the different sizes (S9 and S9 plus). For me, the size of the S9 is absolutely perfect. E Brasil! =)
I think s9fe plus is also a better deal when compared with s9 plus. Though, I love amoled but s9 plus seems too expensive.
Working on that comparison right now! Thank you for the input.
@@TechGearTalk thanks for your reply, love your videos..
1:20 Isn´t it 60hz and not 50hz?
On the Samsung website they list it at 50Hz - so I used that info. Could be a misprint.
@@TechGearTalk I think it is a misprint. I looked the refresh rate up and every result I found was saying that the Tab S7 FE has a 60hz refresh rate. But nice video again, I really like your tablat comparisons.
S9 plus vs s9 fe plus ?
Coming!
I want to buy but I don't know s9 or ultra
See if this helps
czcams.com/video/UZgDBfKPVGg/video.html
Galaxy Tab S9(FE)= Android 13-14(ONE UI 5.1.1 - 6) and S9 = Android 13 only
Super, super,super!!!
Thank you so much!
So it's like this.
S9 - power user
FE - casual user
For the most part. But also longevity S9. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Personally, I'd want to keep my tablet for at least 4 years, so the S9 was always the only option. Bigger RAM capacity, better display, better speakers. Surely I could buy the S9 FE+, its 12/256 version is equivalent in price to the base S9 model, I can get more storage out of the same price. But then the difference with the S9 12/256 is less than 70$, and the Snap8Gen2 is AUs ahead of the Exynos 1380
Battery drain test please 🙏
Coming soon. Promise.
@@TechGearTalk thanks bro
Tab s9 is worth it cause of the Oled display and higher refresh rate, most of the time you are gonna consume content on it, and in that matter, display quality matters alot, Oled and refresh rate are deal breaker.
If you are leaning towards productivity and notes, FE might be for you
Y am i watching? I have the s8 ultra
That’s an amazing tablet! Thank you for watching!
Meeeeeessiiiiii
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyes!
Apple miss that part when they didn’t add IP68 on their tablets. Samsung is winning
That protection is a really nice feature to have for sure. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏🏻.
Genshin impact still no controller support on Android.. So i would just buy an iPad pro
I had the S9 and the oled display was so disappointing. On solid black colours and some other colours the video would pixelate, so if someone had a black t-shirt you could see horrible pixelation. I dont know if this is an oled thing or i had a faulty unit but it was so distracting I returned it.
Oh wow - and it was a 4k video?
@@TechGearTalk yeah, I may be describing it wrong by calling it pixilation but I don't know the word for it. Like when you watch a shitty bitrate video but its still high res, but the black tshirt or black monitor screen in the video would always have like waves of different shades of black.
dont buy fe, it so laggy
There is always one like u 😂
It's legit the same shit. I checked both of them out n unless u're looking at them with a magnifying glass, u ain't going to tell the difference. Stop selling the FE short by saying it's slower 🤦♂️
Agreed!!!!!
Yes, but no. Tab S9 series is generally more targeted to heavy users as it packs the power to do it all. FE series is targeted to casual users so it's able to withdraw certain features. They're both very capable but S9 takes a huge win in certain tasks that a lot of users will appreciate. So it's NOT the same and there's a wide variety of things you can't do as efficiently on the FE, but they are VERY similar. So it's really just dependent on the user.
Nah it is slow though
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. It’s slower by design. If Samsung sold two identical tablets and one was twice the price - they would be crippling the sales of their flagship.
This speed difference may not matter for someone who’s watching content or surfing the web. But it’s clearly a slower and less capable chip.
This doesn’t make it a bad option - it’s designed as a budget option - but the performance difference is a fact.
Dumb
In my country these tablets (256 GB - 12 GB RAM versions) are expensive...
S9 FE : 600 euro
S9 : 1034 euro
S9FE+ : 816 euro
S9+ : 1119 euro
I think I will continue to use pen and paper for a couple more years...🥲
Whoa - thank you for sharing. Where do you live?

Do you think it is worth to get the s9 fe+ instead of the s9 fe if the prices are almost the same? For the deals that I got, the price diference between those two is like USD40 (its not a big diference when you consider the prices os the tablets in my country) and I choose the s9fe+ because it has more ram, but im still in doubt if I shoud keep it or return it and get the s9fe instead.
Even though I am not going to use it for heavy tasks, I also want to be able to use it for some years without running out of ram when apps get upgraded, etc, but idk if those extra 2gb will be really useful in the future or not
Obs: I know that the best options for longevity wouldn't be the fe series, but the other ones (the s9 or the s8) are a lot expansive where I live, both of them are almost the double of the price that I paid on the s9 fe+ and it wouldn't be worth it to me pay this much more bc, as I say, im not going to use it for heavy tasks
If they're priced similarly then yes
