Forget iPads! TAB S9 ULTRA is the Real Deal! 6 Months Review 👑
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra looked very much like its predecessor, causing me to worry about the need for it. After 6 months, I can safely say, it's been a welcome upgrade! But it doesn't mean it's perfect. I think there are areas where it could be more polished, but mostly on software.

Hey there Alex, man you have a great channel here, lots of great info that is practical use for a low tech guy like myself. Just wanted to say that you had a big part in helping with my decision to go from iPhone to the S24 Ultra. I am loving it. I have also got the new Nothing Ear buds as well. The new ones. Now my next thing will be a tablet or a laptop. I am really looking at the Tab S9 but will probably wait for the Tab S 10. Looking into DEX cause that might be enough for my use case cause it does allow light to medium editing of photos and videos. Your info and description of the tabs and DEX has been really helpful. Thank you again for all that you do. Congratulations on 100K subs! WOOO HOOO!
That's so cool to hear, thanks so much for the lovely compliment! I love creating these videos and always hope they are useful/entertaining. So one of my favourite things to hear is that they are helping with your purchase.
And you are right Dex is very capable. I do use Lightroom on it sometimes and whilst not as nice as using it directly on the tablet with the S-Pen, it's still pretty cool to be able to do it with mouse and keyboard and a larger screen!
Thanks again for your support! 🙏🏼
Haha I'm honored that you've included my comment in the video))
I'm a huge supporter of your channel and honestly think your reviews are so unique in the oversaturated techtuber market. 🎉
Lots of love from Armenia 🇦🇲
Thanks again for your support! Glad you enjoyed that, I love adding a bit of fun to these videos, so thanks for the idea 😅
Thank you very much Alex. That answers my question! Amazing video, keep it up with the good work!
My pleasure Victor!!
Alex congratulations on the 100,000 subs you deserve it. Personally I feel like you should be at a million but Rome wasn't built in a day but I know you'll get there. I know I've been asking for it for awhile but I still want an s24 plus and s24 review from you please 🙏
Love that you reached the 100k great videos keep it on 💪💪💪
Dex is awesome, especially when connected to a 4K monitor. 100k happy subscribers, congratulations 🎉🎉
Good timing I just bought this from the Samsung store for 550 pounds UK and that includes slim keyboard cover and Galaxy buds Pro 2 amazing offer
brooo what a fkn deal

Thank you so much!!!
Big fan of your samsung content, bro. Keep up the awesome work
100K congratulations! Well deserved.
Thank you very much! So happy right now!
💯 I still have Tab S8u and am very happy with it. I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. These are very good points you made on this. I would definitely recommend this tablet considering the S8u is still a beast, so hell yeah, on the S9u 👍
Thanks Lee! Yes, the Tab S8U is still a beast, this was more of a refinement than a huge upgrade. Have a great week ahead! ☀️
Congratulations, very happy for you. I've learned a lot from your channel. Well deserved accomplishment.💯K
Thank you so much 😊 this is so cool to hear! Have a great weekend 👊🏼
Love my s9 ultra, it does everything i need it to do. I'm actually used to the size. I always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
Thank you! Yes the size is not an issue at all, I only notice it when I’m in public 😂
@@AlexGTech 😂😂😂😂😂
💯 Let's go Alex! We are all happy and proud of you for this achievement! Well deserved 👏
Thank you!! I love what we are building here 🙌🏼

💯K Great video Alex. Very impressive tablet. I love the screen size and it's display.👊🙏
Thanks Don!! And thanks so much for watching that far too!! I know this was a long-ish video. Have a great weekend my friend
I love how you pay extra attention to the subtitles. 100k!

Thank you so much 🥰 Really appreciate that 🙌🏼 Have a great weekend!
100k, great video man
Thanks for the review. I'm currently riffling through S9 videos awaiting delivery. 100K
Congratualtions you hit 100K faster than most tech reviewers. I remember how long it took some of the big names to reach 100K it was years. The space has big growth potential if you have high production values and are not a fanyboy. That's what the two big reviewers seemed to have figured out which I was folllowing when they were little high school and college kids posting reviews 😅 Now they get named personally by Tim Apple in iphone presentations. Not the one who bent the phone though....😂😂😂
I have been driving this S9 Ultra daily with my LuLulook stand and razr Orochi V2 mouse. I set up a second 15" OLED flat display next to it that I scored cheap because it's no touch and only 1080 HD. It's bascially a tablet with no guts. But the image quality is legit absolutely IDENTICAL to the S9 Ultra display when viewing 1080 HD content. Even the tiny color variations are the same on yellows and oranges that I thought I could only get on the top displays. If you don't need touch for second display it's great for running CZcams all day. I just connect the two displays with Dex and a type C hub and a micro HDMI to USC C cable port on the second disolay. No lag whatsoever. I added a backlit Apple clone keyboard. I still have the S8 Ultra that I use just for media consumption with keyboard cover. I immediately got rid of the new Dex by long pressing the Dex icon on the pull down with wifi, Bluetooth and GPS. It reverts back to old Dex.
The biggest difference for me S9 vs S8 Tab Ultras is that the speed is noticeably snappier. I have the 512 MB version after a free upgrade by Samsung. For a multitasking experience like Dex it's worth going with that upgrade. And the cool thing about Dex is that you can keep using old Samsung phones. I have my old Note 9 from 2018 (yes six years ago!) also paired to my budget 37" Samsung 1080 HD M5 monitor for Dex using a type C hub directly behind my Tab S9 Ultra. It's great for running TradingView stock charts during the market hours on a huge screen.
My 2021 Fold 3 is still kicking and links my WhatsApp messaging in real time with my S9 Ultra Tablet so I don't miss any messages even if the phone is behind the sofa somewhere😅. The cool thing is that I don't have to upgrade to the latest and greatest thing every year and since the prices fall drastically after a year it's good not to have to be jumping for every new thing. I'm tempted to try the OnePlus tablet if the prices drop big. I try not to buy anything unless I can sell it close to the purchase price after the return window closes.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Definitely a tough game though, with so many talented people here. I agree on the performance difference, I never thought the Tab S8 Ultra was slow but I noticed how much snappier it is. I like the sound of your setup! And impressed the Fold 3 is still going 🙌🏼 have a great weekend!!
I went from the tab s9 to the ultra...its ridiculously big, display is huge...and i absolutely love it !
Such a treat to use isn’t it? Love it
Love u brother ❤❤
Till 100k viewer ❤
Thank you so much Alex.
Thanks mate!! (let's not talk about football for a while 🥲)
Congrats on 100k!
Great review💯
💯K 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉congratulations Alex
Another great video Alex. Tab seems awesome wish I could afford one😅
Thanks a ton! Yes, I think it's worth waiting a few months and the prices usually will come down. Even the regular S9 or Plus are also incredible with many of the same features
I got this a few months ago absolutely brilliant for watching content ive also got a 12.9 ipad pro M1 and the display on the Samsung tab s9 ultra is stunning i was worried it wouldn't be as good as the mini led on the ipad but it definitely is 💯 great video thanks
Right? I had that same iPad actually, but the content fits better on this 16:10 aspect ratio, I love that.
And thank you 💯
I've had it for six months and it's absolutely amazing. It definitely replaces any laptop, unless you're a programmer or a very advanced PC user. There's so many things you can do with it. Samsung Notes is truly a wonder. The Spen is just great. Just great. The picture quality is just amazing. Amazing.
Super tempted to pick one up alongside my Fold5. I wonder if they'll put the non-reflective screen tech on the S10 Ultra...
13:49
U r not wrong.
Ip68 is very very underrated feature of s9 series.
And i can say if will be exclusive on s series tab for many upcoming years
Had an iPad since 2018 (the 6th gen model) never really used it. Played a few games on it, ended up using my phone for videos as the iPads lcd display was horrible to look at. Just recently got the s9. I use it everyday! Movies, emulators, pc streaming! Amazing tablet! Hooked up some mobapad joycons and I have a supersized oled switch
4K 60fps 😍 Great video
Thanks for noticing that! Thought I'd move the talking head part to 60fps. My b-roll has always been 60 but thought I'd try it with everything now.
congratz on the 100k subscriber!
Thank you so much 😀
I love the video ❤
Thank you!!
I will be here when you reach 200k!
Let’s goooooo!! So happy right now, thanks so much for your support 👊🏼
what i love the samsung tablets is that i can use it as second screen for my work as we use windows. Navigating with spen is much easier as it allows you to use it fully than the apple pencil.
Hi Alex, You know there are 3 book covers from Samsung and a smaller keyboard that actually works on your lap. I am actually posting this comment on a non flat surface using the slim cover. I sold my mac book pro m1 13 inch laptop. This tablet has replaced my laptop. sure, I have super duper Windows desktop and an Imac as workstations. a gaming windows laptop for small mobile video streaming jobs, but Samsung Galaxy Tab s9 ultra is my main device. DEX is awesome. One thing you didn't mention much is the sound. speakers on this thing are awesome. the sound is rich and pleasing. best I have ever experienced on a mobile device including laptops... cheers
💯 I have been wanting to get it and debating. I have a 2021 ipad pro and I know I don't really need to upgrade yet, but comparing it to the s6 tab I had before Ipad, I enjoyed it more, I ended up giving it to my father as a gift, and I have been debating for few years to switch back.
I know it can be tricky, especially if you have an iPhone too, but from a functionality perspective, the Tab is hard to beat. I do miss some iPad apps like Procreate and Ulysses but honestly, not enough to make me grab the iPad instead. I think the iPad can be great for entertainment, but if I want to do work, the Tab is unbeatable right now
@@AlexGTech I'm a 2 phone person and I have the s24 ultra. It's not a big issue switching between ecosystem. I just know for my use the tab would make more sense. I literally only use the iPad for watching movies and drawing. But I miss the full fledged use of dex mode and etc when I'm on the go
Como se ve contenido Dolby Visión (se que no es compatible) pero Dolby Visión viene de una base HDR mi pregunta es como cambia una película Dolby Visión en un iPad Pro que si es compatible a diferencia de la Tab S9 Ultra que no es compatible?
Hey Alex, love the content.
About the spen latency, do you think they're using an inferior version on the tab as compared to the Galaxy phones. Cuz the spens on the phone Galaxy S Ultra series has a latency of 2.8ms, which is significantly faster than the apple pencil
I wanted to buy the magnetic stand for the ultra but read mixed reviews regarding how magnetic stands impact screens? Maybe you have some thoughts on that given your experience regarding tech. Thanks!
The bundles are awesome! I got free keyboard and discounted watch/buds. The free 1 year Lumafusion really made it interesting for me, it's pretty awesome for very quick video edits. 😅
Hey Alex, 100k and more. 1st timer on your channel and really enjoying your calm demeanor. Can you pls link the magnetic tablet holder on your desk? Thanks.
LE: Nvm :)) just finished watching the whole vid
haha thank you so much! And welcome aboard 🙏🏼
Nice review Alex. Great tablet 🎉 btw what Garmin epic watch are you wearing epic pro 47, or 51mm??
Well spotted! That’s the Epix Pro Gen 2, currently reviewing it (it’s my next video 😊)
It’s the 51mm. I have the regular Epix Gen 2 at 47mm and love that too!
Nice. Look forward to the review
it is my first time seeing an attachable paper cover. it is really amazing, I like the feeling of them when writing but when you are watching Netflix or something those white dots are disturbing and make me pull it out and throw it.
I've got an S8 Ultra en route, and I'd love a primer on setting up emulators etc. Thanks!
Great review! I like my S9 Ultra tablet as well. Could you give me details of leather pouch?
Link is in the description
my keyboard keys dont match what is imputted to the screen. can anyone help?
100k. Congratulations, Alex!! When I have some doubts about Tablets and technology, I always come here to see your videos.
Quero o vídeo em português tbm, mano! Forte abraço. ;)
Thanks so much Marcos! Estou editando ele agora em Português! Te vejo lá 🥰
I considered one some weeks back when a series of promotions lined up. Ended up getting a Uperfect X14 Pro laptop dock for use with my Fold 5 instead. Not regretting it. Samsung needs to start implementing USB-C alt-DP input on their tablets to make those AMOLED scrreens worth investing in as an accessory for other devices on top of being a tablet.
I have that Uperfect screen too! Really cool
You can change the DEX setting to use classic DEX. the classic DEX is using the infamous desktop UI.
I also hate the new DEX UI.
I want to ask, what is the minimum external monitor resolution for samsung DEX. I don't want it to look bad on the external monitor, so i haven't bought a monitor yet
This is an amazing tablet. I love it
Can the s9 ultra be used as a secondary display monitor or does it just send video signal out?? Great video! 💯
Hey there, i have a Tab S9 Ultra my self.
There is a native funtion in the OneUI System called "second Screen". With this, u can easily use this as a second Monitor without any Cables. U Just need Win 10/11 Device!
With Windows, yes it works now! Press Windows + K and select it as the second monitor. Really cool. and thank you!! 🙏🏼 💯
What's the monitor you are using?
That's how I felt playing Mario 3d world on my tab s8 . Also the speakers are amazing on the s8 and s9 tablets
Tablets are supposed to be used handheld and for stylus to include mobility. I have a Galaxy Tab S9+ that I find a bit cumbersome to hold sometimes and how much more would it have been if I chose the S9 Ultra. Hence, gigantic tablets defeat the real purpose of what a tablet should be - handy for handholding purposes.
100K from Kuwait 🎉
I have one. New. It won't receive or make phone calls. Is this normal or??? Including my S24 ultra.
My Tab S7+ is my everyday device and am on Dex sometimes. It still works great but software update is short. It is released in 2022 and already it has its final OS version which is not acceptable. Before I upgrade, I will wait for Samsung to announce similar software support like their Phone which is 7 year or at least 5 years of support. All I can say is if anyone likes to be more productive and get done with their stuff and spend more time with family, One UI it is.
Contra! I was transported back to my childhood. Another great video, Alex
One of my favourite games!! So cool to be able to play it again
Congrats on recent achievement!
💯 congrats. I traded my iPad Pro M2 in for a decent trade-in price on th Tab Ultra a year ago and have not regretted it since. I understand corporate iPad use because change is difficult for many, and simple is easier. But with simple comes lack of functionality, and i feel the future in my hands with the Tab Ultra. I still have to help a friend of mine with his iPad Pro at times, and it feels so much like a childs toy when i touch it. Ultra keeps getting better, and Definitely no regrets for me.
LOL! You wish you could afford an iPad.
I have the Ultra and the iPad Pro M1, and I am the opposite; I much prefer the iPad, and I had to do some detective work to find where I left my Tab S8 Ultra as I hadn't used it for a while! I charged it up, but I am still using the iPad.
I am trying to understand why you say the iPad is a "child's toy", as it has better and more varied apps, and with Stage Manager, you even have DeX. For file management, I use the cloud. Also, as tablets can last 7+ years, it is disappointing that my Tab S8 Ultra has only two more OS updates, whereas the iPad will get another 4-5 despite being older! And, of course, the M1 will still be the best in another 5 years due to its much more powerful chip.
@bobweiram6321 lol, wish you could read, probably why you need an iPad!
@@andyH_England You're wasting your time trying to understand their hate. It's sour grapes. They call an iPad a toy and then turn around and criticize it for not having games. To them, the iPad is a hot girl they desperately wish they could sleep with. Sadly, they don't realize they can wait a few years they can get the girl they want, albeit she's a little older and not as hot as she used to be.
@@bobweiram6321nice analogy😊
Question. I've never had any Apple products. Am I missing out on something. Anything?
Hi Guys, any ideas if you could have to choose between the Tab S9 ultra and the Samsung Galaxy book 4 ultra 360. Tab S9 can be a laptop and the Galaxy book 4 360 can be tablet form too.
Right now i have the tab s8. i'm probably going to get this tablet but when i go to buy it it's out of stock so can't ship it to my area. When it is available i'll probably get it. I use DEX on my S8 and love using it for a desktop like experience. Now and then i put it on tablet mode.
I wish l could afford it. Looks great.
You have to know that at Vodafone. They have a great deal on the S9 ultra. Around half price over 3 years contract.
I've got the S8 Ultra, nearly as good. But both are great. You can't snap the magic keyboard off and go fully tablet. Both have advantages and problems.
Is it worth having Dex on a S24 ultra phone? With a S9 ultra tablet?
The slim book keyboard is a great option and easy to move to write mode, you loss the mouse pad thou, Apple Magic Keyboard great but never use the pen because have to take it out of the case
I was looking at the magnetic Lululock stand for my S9 Ultra but readily saw that it was designed for the S8 Ultra. I read that it doesn't fit properly because of the cameras. Do you have any issues with that?
It's only a tiny mismatch but works ok. You just need to be a bit careful when putting it on. As I mentioned they have a new version now, for the S9 Ultra
I think you're right though, but I haven't tested the latest one...
Am very confused too on which to go for;
Ipad pro
Or
Samsung Ultra S9
100k. 🎉🎉🎉
The new IPad Pro will be interesting to see
Does it open windows 10 or 11 on the tablet?
7:18 onde compra essa capa?? Qual o nome??
no site da Samsung mesmo, se chama Note Paper cover.
Agreed!
I want the wallpaper, where can we get it? That japanese one with the mountain
Also, nice video
Thank you so much! Send me a DM on Insta (alexgtech) and I will see what I can do 🙌🏼
@@AlexGTech w2ill do
100k 😊 I switched from apple to Android (mainly samsung) a while ago...I felt like apple was becoming lazy and complacent with their innovation...
Does anybody have any video recommendation?How to properly get emulation on your tablet
I think Mr Sujano is a decent channel to get started
Wish you had a little more about productivity on the Tab Ultra. As I am retured abd di not need to oroduce a lit if documentation anymore, I think using Dex with a keyboard on a larger screen us totally 💯k per cent acceptable.
Switched from an iPad Air 5 to Tab S8, best decision ever! It is so much better and so much more features.
Right? I do like some iPad apps, but as a productivity device it is so behind
100k 🎉🎉🎉
Let’s go!!! Thank you!
Alex I’m in the market for an iPhone. It doesn’t have to be latest and greatest. What do you recommend that is future proof for a good 4 years.
Hi there. I can’t recommend the 14 as I had a bad time with it. The 13 Pro or 15 Pro are pretty solid to be honest.
Merci!
Thanks Jean-Francois!
I'm a big fan of Samsung, and indeed this Tab S9 Ultra (like the whole S9 range) is great, but, if the Samsung Tab S10 doesn't have Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite, I think it will be the 1st year that I'm going to recommend the future iPad Pro M3 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 10 instead of the Galaxy Tab S10.
🙏🏽
I am hoping for that too, this is the sort of tablet that should have the absolute best processor available
@5:13 do a full video of video rendering
6:36 i literally don't see any latency for the s pen on your slow mo video 🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨
It would be ideal if they offered a keyboard similar to the Magic Keyboard, or perhaps the Samsung keyboard without a trackpad might be better for portability.
I agree, that would be a game changer
1:14 what did you do in the editing in this part of the video, ig you did do 😅something here I mean in the postproduction process.
I just applied my usual colour profile to it. It was a strange situation though with artificial light inside (it was at a hotel) and lots of daylight outside, near sunset hour.
People in AWE of the TAB S9 size who never seen 15 inch touchscreen laptop before and a price that is more or less similar to a fully decked out productivity laptop
I wish it was as amazing cause I love samsung I love Android and I love dex but still had to go with ipad pro , I am a very power hungry user I mean I have used the m2 to its limits on iPad Android would just stutter on it peak requirements and price of ipad was cheaper then the top tier samsung as well
plus if u factory in the apps on iPad are just better I wish Android and the chip in the Samsung progress as fast even though ipad feels very restrictive
it's still a better option for architects like me .
The lack of LTE in the states is a disappointment. Still have one but will go for the new iPad for that feature.
I still don't understand why Samsung does that...
@@AlexGTechI think people avoid buying LTE devices because the way the carrier contracts work here for now if you buy any 5G device it's usually hardwired so to speak with a specific carrier. If you use a different carrier you run into all these annoyances. I went through this personally once getting a phone for a relative that had been unlocked for one carrier but as soon as they used it with a competing carrier this antitrust violation type practices kept coming up like calls not routing to the correct voicemail number and constant 5G connection issues. Always buy a clean ulocked device here in America. Then if the tablet is wired for 5G service from a carrier nobody wants it sits unsold on the shelf. Meanwhile we have an entire slate of second level discount carriers that are all quietly owned by the big carriers who have pretty aggresive contracts for Wifi Hotspot features just not as fast as the big carriers. And the top carriers on the most expensive plans have reverted back to their old "unlimited data" or big data buckets for hot spot features so connecting your phone to your tablet is almost an incentive to buy a tablet. Apple don't have to worry about this because the carriers bend over backwards to have their 5G in the iPads and customer base is enormous. They can predictably manufacture a pre-ordered quantity of 5G iPads that sell from the start for enterprise customers and what remains can just be sold to private users wanting 5G. It really is a giant monopoly in action and Sasmung just have to play around it.
5G chips are hardwired to carriers here in the U.S. and A. So Samsung doesnt' want the expense of making an LTE Tab thats going to sit unsold on the shelf and eventually heavily discounted. Apple don't have that issue because they have such a huge enterprise customer base in the corporate world that guarantee a set number of 5G builds by carrier.
Yes, it is a big negative especially as you get the added benefit of a GPS with 5G. Even though mobile hotspots are easy on Apple, the added convenience of just opening the iPad and being online is genuinely added value.
Oh recent discovery. I had a mouse and keyboard connected to my Tab S9 Plus, and after I answered a text on my Samsung Fold, I set it down next the tablet, something appeared on both screens, and I was able to use the keyboard and mouse on the my phone, like a second screen. Not necessary something I would use all the time, but I thought it was very cool that they just connected so seemlessly.
Oh yes, the fold has so many cool features too! Have you tried that Flex mode?
@AlexGTech Yes, using it to reply to your message now. The Fold is not perfect, but I know I would miss too many features going with any other Fold. Thanks for your hard work. Here's looking forward to when you have 1,000,000 subscribers!
I think the keyboard cover is the biggest weakness. I have a Lenovo tab with the same design and i don't get it.. you really need a flat and solid surface. I would gladly buy a more expensive edition, especially for desktop mode
is it worth the upgrade from the s8 ultra? cheers.
Not really, it's very similar. I do see a slight improvement but wouldn't recommend it unless you find a really decent deal where you don't lose money
First time time I've ever disagreed with you. I hated the magic keyboard. I returned it and got the Logitech Combo Touch . The magic keyboard felt too limiting because of the ommision of function keys and the angles at which you could adjust the display. It's only saving grace was that it was lapable and the charging port. but most the time, I kept it on a flat surface.
That being said, I absolutely love your channel and how premium your content is. It always make me happy when I see you've uploaded another video! 💯
Hey no problem at all, I personally really enjoy the magic keyboard and fun fact: I am more excited about the new version of it than the iPad itself 😅 And thank you so much for the kind words, with support like this you helped me get here, I am so grateful 🙏🏼
I bought it when it was new but returned it within a week because I hated the keyboard and the appearance of the apps. What else is there?
For me it's the functionality when doing work. It's just so flexible when compared with teh iPad. The iPad is getting better, don't get me wrong, but not as flexible for what I do outside of my creative work.
