Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ Plus 12.4” 256GB WiFi 7 Android AI Tablet, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor, AMOLED Screen, S Pen Included, Long Battery Life, Auto Focus Camera, Durable, US Version, 2023, Beige

I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 mainly for family stuff and it’s been super easy to use. The screen is bright and clear, and the size is just right—big enough for movies but small enough to carry around. It’s fast, handles games and apps with no problem, and the S Pen is handy for quick notes. Battery life is decent, and I like that it feels sturdy, especially with kids using it. Overall, it’s a solid, no-fuss tablet for everyday use.

I wanted a good tablet in Samsung's premium lineup, and this earlier offering fit the desire for a brilliant amoled screen, fast processing, speedy refresh rate, superior build, long battery life, biometric fingerprint sensor, and overall elite essentials. The OS comes in Android 13, but graduates to 15 during setup. Five years of upcoming Samsung support is more than enough for me. The unit was suppose to come in a drab beige, but surprisingly, the tablet came in silver (which I was very glad for). I hate the fact that all great tablets come with inflated pricing but their makers know we will pay the price. Having said the latter, buying an earlier version is the way to go unless you won't settle for anything but the latest in Samsung's lineup. I highly recommend the s9 and give it a five star rating.

Tablet is pretty nice. Set up was a little finicky while transferring data and aps from my S24 Ultra. It wouldn't let me do it over Wi-Fi, so I had to use the included transfer cable. For that kind of money, it would have been nice if it had a proper charger + plug, even though the superchargers are cheap on here, and most people already have one now adays. It went through all my games pretty flawlessly. I have a gaming PC also so it's easy to compare speeds. I have to say, Torchlight Infinite is a ton of fun on it. The screen is beautiful and there's not a ton of complicated options and features to figure out. Just set up and start using it. It comes with a 45% battery charge which was a nice surprise. Looking forward to watching Youtube and doing art on it also.

I love it, it's super compact, fast, reliable and beautiful.

** 3 Month update ***I’ve set up a reliable Dex ecosystem for my Samsung tablet, Caldigit TS4 to expand the number of ports available, wired mouse and keyboard, and a monitor (HP Omen). With this setup I can run Dex flawlessly (Dex is a built in desktop operating system that comes with Samsung smart phones and tablets)My primary uses for this device are Google workspace (you have to use the chrome browser for all features, the apps are functional, but lack a lot of editing features), web based management systems, and media.The stock speakers are great (comparable to laptop speakers, a little tinny, but generally sound great for the device class)The screen is gorgeous, and as a stand alone tablet you can absolutely use Dex with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on the fly, managing a couple windows side by side feels comfortable (not too small)Could this replace your laptop? So long as you don’t rely on specific software. Absolutely, this would be great for student or business owners on the go. Not too big to bring with you, but not too small to be unusable.This thing has exceeded my expectation for sure. Same internals as the ultra tab, smaller screen.Perfect for excel, google sheets, word processing, and when paired with mouse and keyboard is effectively functional as an ultra portable laptop.If most of your work is web based or general word processing 10/10 I’d recommend.Haven’t had any issues with lagging, overheating, or battery health.I do recommend adjusting your battery settings to prevent it from charging past 80%, and while it is convenient disabling fast charging will help preserve the battery life in the long run.

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 11” for school because I have poor eyesight and printed assignments were always too small to read. My instructors provided digital copies, but I needed a device that made reading and note-taking easier.The bright AMOLED screen and adjustable font sizes have made a huge difference. The included S Pen lets me highlight and take notes smoothly. Since using this tablet, my grades have gone from struggling to straight A’s. The long battery life and portability mean I can study anywhere without stress.If you have vision challenges or want a reliable tablet for school, I highly recommend the Galaxy Tab S9. It has truly changed how I learn and succeed.

Pro: Great screen and sharpness. Very fast going to any screen, browser, menu scrolling, easy to learn more about all its functions by going on YouTube. I got the 512G memory so plenty of space there. Got a nice case for it. Easy-to-use keyboard is also a plus. Synch easily to my Samsung phone as the Quick Share makes short work of transferring data and apps to this tablet. There's more positives however the fun is exploring it. Bluetooth finds your printers easily and is very useful. Games are handled very well. Syncs to any other Samsung appliance, TV, and others. Screen protector is something you'll need to decide on. S-Pen is very useful, a learning curve is needed buy easily learned.Con: I don't like Google Sheets or Docs. Very annoying to use especially if you are used to Microsoft Works. To use MS Excel or Word here a subscription is need. Using Google Sheets and docs takes a few YouTube video searches. Can be very confusing trying to find files.No SD slot. No earphones jack. No 5G unless you specifically get one with it. Useless outdoors away from a WIFI signal. Battery does drain a little faster than I'd like and fast charging isn't really that fast.Summary: You'll like this tablet. Screen size is just right and updated regularly the functionality is very high. Screen is very reactive with touch and quick. You'll like it.
