Galaxy Tab S9 11” 256GB WiFi 7 Android AI Tablet, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor, AMOLED Screen, Durable Design, S Pen Included, Long Battery Life, Auto Focus Camera, US Version, 2023, Graphite

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.

Originally, I bought this Tablet with the intent to use it for gaming. Ultimately, I found that there is so much more you can get out of it than that. Its a very thin, lightweight tablet. The screen is an impressive size that felt larger in my hands than I had expected. I was originally considering going for the Ultra, but the size of the S9+ is more than enough for what I need. I actually feel more comfortable using this tablet without the protective case that I purchased for it when at home. I didn't even bother putting on the protective glass screen I bought for it because I don't see myself abusing this tablet as hard as I abuse my phone. The performance is fantastic. This has no problem playing whatever games you might want to play on it and the refresh rate is superb. As someone who regularly uses a high refresh rate monitor, I can appreciate seeing similar performance on a tablet. What I wasn't expecting when I bought this was how much I could get out of Samsung's Second Screen app. This built in application allows you to wirelessly connect your Samsung tablet to your PC and use it as an additional monitor. As someone who regularly uses a laptop for work, its a game changing asset to have. The integration is seamless; you can even choose to enable the touchscreen so that you could browse through documents like you would with a kindle without having to go through the hassle of doing file transfers. However with performance comes a price. It goes without saying that these tablets are pretty damn expensive. If I had to make a recommendation, I would suggest settling for the S9 which my friend bought and is more than satisfied with. Most of what you are getting out of making the jump to the S9+ or Ultra is a larger screen size. Visit your local electronics store and see which one is right for you.

I've always bought the cheaper Samsung A series Android tablets and they've always disappointed in the long run. The S9 is just so responsive and quick at everything it does that I think it's worth the higher price. The OLED screen is excellent overall and it's just a joy to use. I tried to go the iPad route to see what all the hype was about and bought the base model 9th gen about a year ago. It was a pretty good tablet with a nice screen and decent speed, but the Apple ecosystem just wasn't for me. The S9 is better at everything and doesn't have big black bars on the sides of your videos due to Apple's unique display ratio. The 120Hz screen on the S9 is amazing. It made my iPad feel terrible to use when I went back to it for a comparison. I think most of all I missed the Google discover news feed (swipe left when on home screen). Apple news is a paid thing for most of the content and I found myself using my android phone to get my my news feed vs. my Apple tablet. The Google news app on iPad just wasn't the same. One thing I really did like about the iPad was the gestures. Turns out that android has pretty much identical gestures in the display options and it's the best of both worlds for me on the s9 now. Don't think I'll have to upgrade for quite a while with how powerful this S9 is!

It was time to replace my S6. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a tablet, but I also wanted to get something that was one of the latest versions of Samsung tablets. I do a lot of research before I buy something and as I was looking at the S10, the S9 kept popping up, so I would read the reviews. Everyone said it was the best samsung tablet. Its a little pricey, but I am so happy with my purchase! The S9 is an amazing tablet! For me, the size is perfect. I enjoy using my tablet when I travel. The picture is amazing! I was really surprised by the vibrant colors compared to other tablets. I was also surprised with the sound quality. Let's face it, tablets arent known to have good sound. With 4 speakers, the sound quality is excellent! I really liked that it comes with an "spen." My daughter enjoys drawing on it. It may not be the latest and newest tablet, but it is definitely the best tablet that samsung has out right now! If you prefer having a tablet, spend a little extra money and get the S9, its worth it!

I bought this to replace a similar Galaxy Tab S4. Nothing wrong with the older tablet, just was ready to upgrade- five years of use and not a single problem with it! Anyway, there is almost no question the Tab S is the best Android tablet. The LED screens are just fantastic. This new model is even faster yet. 0.5" bigger screen (11" instead of 10.5") and almost the same size and weight. I got in on the deal that increased the memory and doubled the storage for no extra charge, so an astounding 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage- both way more than I will ever need. S-pen works very well. Sound is great (for a tablet). Love the new in-screen fingerprint sensor. Micro SD card slot works perfectly. The only thing I hate is that there is no headphone jack. Almost didn't buy it for that reason, alone. I hate using adapters/dongles. And to use a dongle means I have to pry out the magnetic USB charger connector I love, every time, which is very difficult to do and I will likely lose it because it is so small. There is ZERO reason to not include a headphone jack. There is plenty of space, and they make jacks that are just as water-resistant as the USB port. OK, I will stop with that rant. Oh, the price is crazy too. Most people simply will not spend this much on a tablet, opting for something like the "A" line instead. This model was $200 MORE than the crazy high price of my old S4, but the screen on the "S" is just so nice, so I just gotta have it :)

So far, the Tablet has been amazing. This is the first time I own a tablet, so I was really satisfied with the size of the S9. To be honest, I was going to buy the S9 Ultra until I realized that I just wanted it for reading and perhaps basic gaming (i.e. Dead cells, gacha games, etc.). I was worried about the S9 since I did not know what to expect for 11', but it has been great and works well. If you are planning to use the tablet as a book, video watcher, and basic gaming, I believe the S9 will suffice. Since I already have a great laptop, I realized that a bigger size was useless for me. So, the size for a consumer that is planning to use it for basic functions will be happy to know that the S9 is more than enough. I like the design of this Tablet; it looks super nice, and the included pen helps a lot when maneuvering around the screen. Actually, I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 9, which is old, but it came with a pen as well, but I never used it; however, with the table, I believe it is critical since it is too big for me to reach the top of the screen (And this is an 11', I cannot imagine how hard would have been if I had a bigger one). The only bad thing I can think of is not with the Table itself but with this listing, they tell you it will come with a "FREE" book cover, but I didn't receive it. Amazon was nice enough to give me a partial refund, but now I have no cover T_T. So yeah, don't expect a free book cover. Actually, this is why I lowered the rating since the product itself is fantastic. Nonetheless, the retailer failed to provide me with what they promised. Even when I went to their website, they didn't help at all! It was annoying since they will be like go here, go there to end up not getting anything and wasting time. TL;DR: The tablet is great, comes with a nice pen, and is beautifully designed. However, they didn't give me a book cover. Nonetheless, Amazon helped me by giving me a partial refund.

This tablet is more than enough for my needs. The speed, graphics, crisp and vibrant screen, all make for a wonderful experience. I was originally looking into the ultra, but I couldn't justify the purchase when the only real differences are screen, speaker and ram related, and nothing i'll do with it will really max out the current specs. The speakers sound amazing on this thing. Most tablets just have cheap tinny speakers just to fill the spaces while the Galaxy S line seems to have had a lot of thought put into sound quality. The camera is quite decent as well. Not top of the line, but for a tablet, it takes some pretty clear photos. It charges quite fast as well, and stays charged for a while, even with heavy game play, just like my S23 U. I did about 3 hours of straight play on war universe and it was still around 80% when I shut it down. I did make sure to get an illuminated magnetic keyboard case, and a high speed 512gb Samsung Micro SD card for it. Don't need them, just wanted to get them and got a good deal. The next thing I get will be a bluetooth mouse to complete the laptop feel. lol This is the best tablet for the money in my eyes.
