Display: Visually Stunning
The Galaxy Tab S9 tablets boast dynamic AMOLED 2X displays with super high resolution and HDR support. The result is a visual treat with vibrant colours and deep blacks, perfect for consuming content or browsing photos. The 120 Hertz refresh rate ensures a smooth and fluid experience, especially when scrolling through web pages or watching movies. However, the 16:10 aspect ratio may feel elongated for web browsing, but it excels for movie enthusiasts seeking a cinematic experience. The Tab S9 has an 11-inch display, the Tab S9+ has a 12.4-inch display and the Tab S9 Ultra has a 14.6-inch display.
Performance: Seamless Multitasking
Samsung equips the Galaxy Tab S9 series with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors, akin to those found in their premium smartphones. The tablets offer snappy and responsive performance, effortlessly handling multitasking and resource-intensive applications. With varying RAM configurations starting at 8 gigabytes and going up to 16 gigabytes, users can pick the optimal configuration based on their needs.
Design: Premium Build Quality and Portability
The Galaxy Tab S9 tablets feature a premium design with a sturdy aluminium build that exudes a sense of quality and refinement. The slim and lightweight design enhances portability, making it easy to carry around and use on the go. Additionally, the tablets are IP68 water and dust-resistant, providing peace of mind against accidental spills and immersions. There’s a USB-C port, and expandable microSD card storage but no headphone jack.
User Experience: Multitasking Made Easy
Samsung’s user interface on the Galaxy Tab S9 is designed for productivity and multitasking. The tablets allow users to set up three apps in a grid or use a floating app for enhanced multitasking capabilities. DeX Mode transforms the tablet into a laptop-like experience, further enhancing productivity. However, some users may desire a more consistent interface across all Android tablets.
The inclusion of under-screen fingerprint sensors adds a unique touch to the tablets’ security features. Users can also opt for face recognition, but many find the fingerprint sensor more convenient for tablet usage.
Comparison with Competitors: A Strong Contender
In comparison to its affordable Android tablet competitors, such as the Google Pixel tablet and OnePlus Pad, the Galaxy Tab S9 series stands out with its premium features and performance. A more in-depth comparison would provide a clearer understanding of how it fares against its rivals in the market.
Value for Money: Premium Comes at a Cost
The Galaxy Tab S9 series starts at $800 and goes up to $1,200 for the Ultra Series. While the tablets offer premium features and performance, prospective buyers should consider their specific needs and budget to determine the value for money. Samsung’s occasional deals and discounts can enhance the overall package, making the tablets more appealing.
Takeaway
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series represents a compelling entry into the world of premium Android tablets. With visually stunning AMOLED displays, seamless performance, thoughtful design, and it has an included S Pen, which is great because a lot of tablets don’t come with styluses. The downsides? It’s expensive. And Android is still something that doesn’t work exactly the same from tablet to tablet to tablet. That’s not Samsung’s problem, but it means that you may want to look at other options. Those are my first impressions right now. My full and more in-depth review with be able soon.
