It's only available right now in some countries because Samsung is still trying to exhaust the inventory of the A7 Lite and A8 tabs from those other countries
now, the only android mini tablet that has a powerful spec is lenovo y700. Problem is, it doesn't have a global rom. there was this Huawei mediapad m6 8.4 which was released on 2019 with a flagship specs but it's really hard to get one now (in my country, ph. don't know about others). It's still has google support but it only has a 60hz refresh rate. I hope samsung would make a premium midranger mini tablet, preferably with Snapdragon chips (SD 6 would be acceptable, SD 7, would be appreciated, SD 8 would be a stretch for a midranger.)
Should be way better than the a7 lite. Single core on the GB was 178 for the a7.. Hopefully this comes to North America... My A7 is too jittery. Extra ram will help too. Good video!
Valdrá la pena el cambio del a7 lite al a9? Sinceramente estoy muy feliz con mi actual a7 lite, excelente diseño, sonido, duración de la batería etc, lo que si es que sus puntos débiles son los 32 gb de almacenamiento que se agota con 5 aplicaciones y el procesador lento que seguido causa bugs algo estresantes
@@diazdeleontrujillocesarale1618yes definitely, I switched from a7 to a9 and the a9 is so much smoother and great for gaming if u want, but it works even better for normal everyday stuff like watching yt and netflix
Great review, I was waiting for it. I want to buy this tablet to consume media, but I'm a bit scared of the 4GB of RAM, my S7 FE is a bit laggy and it has a way better processor and I'm thinking the RAM is the reason, OneUI is very demanding. Do you think this A9 could last for a couple of years if I go for the 8GB variant?
Ive been waiting for your review of this. I got it myself lte 8gb 128gb version. The helio g99 is kind of underclocked on the gpu side with antutu of 380k, i tested this myself. It is a very good tab imo, never get hot for my use, even wot on max setting. Lasted 14hr web browsing alone.

Very disappointed they didn't add fingerprint unlock. I miss that so much on my A8, Face unlock is flakey, and typing in a code or doing a pattern gets annoying really quick. I chose, against my better judgement, to not have it locked because of this.
I was wondering why I couldn’t buy the A9 on the website, only the A9+, which has a bigger screen and body. I really wish Samsung released a 8 inch tablet with spen compatibility. I mean, apple makes the ipad mini and people still buy it. Hell, theyre making an ipad mini 7. The problem it that you can’t really use it as a standalone “phone”. Which is why i didn’t get it
I did you have any problems with setup???Its international and I did not see the United States when I got to region?? I wish you would of showed how you got pass that
My mom has some 8 inch Samsung tablet from 2016ish that she’s used all this time. Definitely showing its age now. Guessing this is the best replacement for when that thing finally stops working?
I've got one and love it! But I still miss my old Tab S 8.4 which was a top of the range 8.7 AMOLED WQHD screen ultra thin and light tablet back in the day
Will th 4gb version be enough for at least 1 year if all im using it is for tons of ChatGPT and internet research?? Or will 4gb ram be laggy? Please help me
you need the A9+, they don't have the A9 in USA. I'm not 100% sure about any of this though so you would need to check. A9+ will also have an 11" screen, it is much bigger.
Good choice, got myself one as well after using the tab a10 for a while. If you feel like you can't write super uniformly (aka the words are thick and thin and can't get it to look good) I recommend the spen-tips from Lamy (the hard round ones, it's a huge difference. It also works super with a brotect matte screen protectro. And if you write alot, the Lamy-emr (it's just like the spen with the button) pen works great on the tab s6lite.@@editorialteam9855
I am trying this out. 1st impressions of International version,: way better than the A8 and alite, and Lenovo M8. It is not an iPad mini by a long way. The Samsung action was to much $$ for me. 👍
So I recently got the tab and when I connected it to my graphic tab ( an huion 430p) the cursor didn't show, is there a setting I can go to, to make the cursor visible when using the graphics tablet
I have tab a 8 10.5 on Facebook I can't find dark anywhere in settings after android 13 update I turn off animation and way smoother I like especially for free great video u deserve a million subs
So we get a bit of an upbump on the specs, starting on Android 13, and losing the power brick compared to the A7 Lite (is Android 13 the last update on the A7 Lite?), considering those 2 tablets are the runts of the litter in Samsung eyes but even in that state they run cycles around almost all the budget tablets on the 8-9 inch scale if price is not an issue. And the A9 + takes the place of the A7 and A8
tab a7 lite will end with android 13 since it is a budget tablet. Also, the charging brick is not that big deal since both charges at 15w, but in fact the tab A9 is 2.7x better in terms of performance compared to A7 lite
Really wish they would make a flagship this size
This!!!!!
Would be perfect size really if they did
That's easy, just buy a flagship tablet and wash it and really hot water. LOL
@@jpquebec123 mainly, that's because Lenovo hasn't marketed it well.
Yes, please. Apple can't really be the "only" option.
The Galaxy Tab A9 is an impressive one that involve great processing with the mediatek chipset and also have impressive design.
I just got the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 128GB today, because I wanted a small and compact tablet. Love it 👍🏼
Hi! How is the battery life?
@@SourianteOrangeAbout 10 hours with media
@@chitoainguyen1989 Thank you!
Where did you find the 128??
Where? I can't find it.
Man the build quality looks just like the flagship S23 series, so nice 😍😍
Nice improvement over A7 lite build quality for sure!
This is best unboxing video of this device I've ever seen. I've been wondering if it has split screen feature and I'm happy went on to answered it
glad i could help!
The fact that it looks exactly like a phone but larger is hilarious and aesthetically pleasing.
It's only available right now in some countries because Samsung is still trying to exhaust the inventory of the A7 Lite and A8 tabs from those other countries
Coming to US. December. I'm selling my A7 for this one. Much faster. antutu benchmark 350000. A7 on 108000 bench mark
Im glad Samsung is adding Extra Dim to all their devices it makes me happy
yes i use that on most of my devices

yes..go for 8gb variant

performance looks quite smooth. I like my M9 but this looks smoother
Does Samsung Tab A9 wifi only (no sim) have gps module? How is the accuracy when using Google maps?
Huawei mediapad M5 8.4 or this tablet? Why is better?
Correction, active styluses don't work on these, the white one you used is still a passive stylus, just powered.
How can I order this? The amazon link didn't work.
Right. Because it's not on Amazon.

I watch anime on my s23 ultra. Will it be worth getting this tablet for shows. Or should i stick to my phone?

Thanks or the review. Would love to see a comparison with the alldocube one
price? thanks
bout 250€
I like this one, only problem in my country got 4/64g is bit low for this day
The gadget is small and light, measuring 211 x 124.7 x 8 mm and weighing 332g. It features a quick helio chip and looks great.
Hi, I got a question in terms of performance. Is the A9 better and faster than A7 ?
A9 has no sim slot. This is a disaster for an 8 inch tablet.
What about the LTE version, it should have a SIM
@@starcorpvncjThere's an LTE version
Is it good for reading pdfs? Im considering one for learning purposes. Confused between this and redmi pad 6.
too bad it is not available in the US. I purchased the Nokia T10 a few days ago due to limited options for 8inch tablets.
Between this tablet and the honor x9 tablet. Which be the better?
Sorry I haven't tried the honor x9 yet
Is the battery replaceable?

I dont like landscape camera on tablets,would be good if they add flagships portrait tablets like this size..?
Will this Samsung's g99 chipset handle games like real racing without lag
In terms of frame size? Are they the same size? Could one put the A9 in an A7L case?
Almost identical in size, small things like corners and camera is probably just different enough to make the cases not work
Is the WiFi version compatible for esim?
Is it 128gb 8g or 64gb 4g?
I just bought an 8GB 128 GB in Pakistan.
Which charger is comfortable for this
Net battery could have been at least 6,000! I see a lot complaining about that battery
Will you have the a9plus soon?
Is this good for youtibe or should i get a larger tablet
its personal preference really, would probably be okay for most people
which UFS version storage does this tab have?

could possibly work for that although i feel the resolution should be higher
What is the second car game? I couldn't make out what you were saying. The simple one.

Is this the best option for a tablet this size at around $200?
yes its one of the only tablets at this size really, there's a couple others but pretty entry level specs on most in this price range

June 2024 and tab a9 is still not available in the usa. Also cant find the 128gb / 8gb ram model.
Can we insert sim in it ?
No
In my opinion it will be hard to overtake the doogee t10 bcs this doesnt even come with the charger

Can this tablet become the second monitor for the desktop? Thanks.
i don't believe so for this one
I believe this is the best tablet you can get thats under 10 inches besides the iPad Mini 6 and the Legion Y700
Are they releasing this in the US?
I thought so but seems to be taking forever
Great video, however I expected tab s9 vs tab s9 plus to be reviewed
Great reviews as always. Did you test it in daylight?
No, i don't usually use my tablets outdoors. Even my flagship phones struggle if its too sunny outside.

How many years of Android updates
Is it water proof or...
Them people said it has 2 years
what do u mean it only works 15w fastcharging when u in the description mention a 45w fastcharger at amazon?
sorry that link is from another video that was copied over, it only works with up to 15W that i know of

same device with bigger battery and Amoled display + 128gb & 12gb ram = ultimate

12gb with this cpu?
