good recommendations. I went from the TabS8 Ultra to the TabS9 + and am super happy with the change. Everything is smoother, faster, clearer and I love the TabS9 + keyboard. Definitely don't miss that massive track pad. That was irritating and caused me a lot of input mishaps!
I came from the Tab S7 Plus that I had two years and then upgraded to the 9 Plus. The difference is huge! And Samsung gave me $500 on the 7 plus trade-in! 💥
I was gonna sell my S8 for the S9, but I've decided to keep the S8 instead. The upgrades are very nice and tempting , but the Amoled screen has PWM which I'm pretty sure caused my headaches and eye strain in the past. Also, there don't seem to be benefits in terms of battery life or processor speed (unless you really push it to notice). The Ip68 rating is super nice though!
@s.r5534 Nice. But apparently the battery life is basically the same. I've only seen 2 reviews that suggest the battery life might be 20% better thus far. In some cases, people have said its actually worse on the S9 (as reported on reddit). People think that just because a screen is amoled, with a more efficient processor, the battery life must be better. This is not always the case. The S8 11" actually had much better battery life than the S8 Plus and Ultra, even though they had much bigger batteries and amoled screens.
@s.r5534 Yep, all valid points. There is no doubt the S9 is a better tablet (even with reports of worse battery life}. But that still doesn't help those sensitive to pmw. LCD is always the best choice in that case.
@s.r5534 You just saw in this video that the S9 has slightly worse battery life than the S8. Besides, it's a well known fact that OLED displays consume MUCH more battery than LCD displays. That's the only reason Samsung put larger battery in the S9 compared to S8, just to try to match their battery life.
Samsung states on their site that the cable included DOES NOT support 45W charging, it is not a 5A cable and will not charge the tablet at more than 25W (I tested with the cable from the box and samsung's 5A cable and 45W charger)
Techisode TV, wow ! I am impressed by the amount of details and information you provided to us through this short video ! That was the most complete review of Galaxy Tab S9 and covered all aspects and even comparisons to previous generation ! Great idea to include a common Q&A ! Very detailed and high quality video ! You nailed it ! You deserve million subscribers !
TBH I don't think that the upgrade is worth it. If you buy a new tablet definitely go for the S9 but if you already have the S8 like me no worries. Performance upgrade would make sense if there were enough software needing this power. Just the screen is much better on the S9 but S8s screen is good also
This is a good comparison, one of the best I've seen online. But the upgrade from S8 line to S9 line is justifiable if you had the base model tab S8 due to the new S9 having an Amoled display, but for the S8+ & S8 ultra to S9 + & S9 ultra only if you have spare money to spend and are hungry for a slight power improvement. S9 line is good for first time buyers, movers from tab s7 range and below
@fortherun6520 definitely the base model tab S8 has the best battery performance in the tab S8 line and tab S9 line but I was on the topic of making a jump from tab S8 line to the tab S9 line. The only thing that will make a tab S8 user switch is if they want an oled panel display the rest isn't a big reason to make the jump
I think I like my s8. And I cannot justify trading in my S8 . Not even for the Ultra. The convienence of carrying my S8 with its keyboard tracker pad is briliient for me.
Tab S8 Ultra has the best screen ever but only if I don't carry it around for school. After a year of owning the ultra, I have no complaints whatsoever. The screen is awesome, 16GB RAM is smoother than smooth, SD card for extra storage, battery lasts forever. The only reason I downgraded to the regular S9 is because I need something light and portable for school. I definitely will miss those days I watch Netflix on my S8 Ultra. Best experience!
Great video. I did upgrade from the S8 to the S9. But the reason for me was the incredible trade in deals. At Best Buy, I traded in S8 with 8GB ram, 128GB storage for a S9 with 12GB ram, 256GB of storage for $297 out the door. ---Update, it was $276 out the door, they also refunded some of the taxes.
wanna update from my s8+ to s9+ just for battery upgrade but.. it doesnt look like a big improvement to me imo. so i gues ill skip it and keep my s8+. Thanks BTW gr8 job
Thank you for this GREAT video. Glad to see someone SHOW us the difference using actual tests. Rather then TELL us the differences based on their opinions.
no mention that PWM is used on the s9 amoled screen? important to people who are sensitive to this 'flickering' especially when you spend 900+ on a tablet and end up with headaches...
My old Tab S6's screen is damaged 😢 time to replace it after nearly 5 years of heavy duty use. Excellent tablet. Thanks for this video, very informative
Thinking about updating to the s9 ,coming from a tab5se with amoled screen , I really like the screen on my aging s5 however the battery is getting weak. I think this would be a good update. Paid 550 4 years ago. Currently going for 899 . Seams like a great replacement. Excellent detailed comparison 👍
thank you i have been watching a ton of reviews and yours is the only one i found that actually tested the direct sunlight and vision booster.. How is it for watching movies in sunlight? Is it watchable? I have the tab a 8 and its unwatchable. Thanks.
S7+ has an overclocked CPU. I have an S8+, which has a much more balanced CPU, and there's absolutely no overheating. The S9+ has an even cooler and more battery efficient CPU.
To my ears, the S8 - S9 was a bigger leap in audio quality than the S8U to S9U. iPad Pro sounded less tinny, but I would need to hear it in person to say for certain.
Do we get option to Backup to Cloud like in S23 Phone Setting/General/Reset/Temporary Cloud Backup on both Tablets ? I only need it to use Excel sheets, WhatsApp, & Gmail & Keep my Note 9 for Phone Calls Please suggest which is worth getting Is it worth getting a USED S8 for 450$ in 2024
Can the S8 or S9 tablet tether a network connection over a usb c cable from a Samsung phone instead of hot spot wifi or cellular LTE? I am trying to use my S7+ tablet without wifi and LTE is not an option on my S7+.
In terms of performance and overall quality, the Tab S8 is the superior choice compared to the Tab S9 FE+. As a flagship model, the Tab S8 offers a more premium experience and enhanced capabilities. If your primary concern is obtaining the best possible performance, the Tab S8 is the recommended option.
I just bought an s9+ and I love it. But I'm struggling to to find things to do with it lol. Great for videos and games, but I don't travel, nor do any pro related work like editing or typing. It seems like the tablet is geared toward pro workflows
Odd, I'm noticing a few hours better battery life with the S9+ than the S8. Even better if I leave set to power save mode, since still faster than with it off on the S8+. This is general use and gaming. Mainly emulation, movies and TH-cam.
Do you guys think it's a good deal to get the 256gb S9 for 370 dollars (tax included) with the trade in program, giving my S8 256gb tablet? Or should I wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
wanna trade-in my 1yo Tab-s8+ to get the S9+ but via Sammy site the trade in value is ridiculously low who can help me get better deal ? BTW thanks for the video very much appreciated
June 2024 - S9+ £1099 vs S8+ only £499.00 Is the S9 worth £500 more? Only want it for infinite painter, linked to xp pen graphics tablet,via usb out :)
I think you may be commenting on the wrong video by mistake. I never said they were the same in his video. And there's a whole section dedicated to the differences between the old and new S Pen :)
Me using my old tab a7 along with s8plus 5g and even old tab a7 662 and 3gb ram have more than enough power for 80 % pepole it can play light to modrate games run microsoft social media youtubr streaming apps i showed it and s8 plus to my mom fir screen diff and she said no diff could nof even recognize that s8 plus is 120hz amoled 2.5 k screen as compared to fullhd plus tft lcd on a7 nither 60hz only diff she noticed that s8 plus speakers are louder but she is happy with tab a7 quad setup as well this shows only 1% pepole like us may notice these changes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hi bro, i just ordered xreal air 2 AR glasses and it's coming next month, it is best compatible with samsung dex, ipad and mobiles with v3.0 and above version of type c port . can u suggest best budget ipad/tab/mobile or any other device that can support xreal air 2 ar glasses external display.

is the new display any better? also how was the s8 ultra size in practicql life
@@saifhassan9673I own both. S8 series are brighter.

Old spen is china made new spen is Vietnam made
This man has always been one of the best and most thorough reviewers I've ever come across. Thanks for what you do for us brotherman!
Best comparison with no wasted time at all. Excellent! But I'll stick with my S8+.

при включенном темном режиме super amoled экран практически не тратит заряд батареи. Заряд тратится сильнее при включенном светлом режиме.@@s-plus
S9+ £1099 or S8+ for £499 is the S9 worth £500.00 more ?
Man, your reviews are awesome. Thank you so much for the effort you put into this video. It's awesome

Thank you for the comprehensive comparison. it was most helpful
this is the best review im looking for
Thank your for the effort and the time you put into this amazing review, most appreciated 👍🏼
Battery test should only be valid if both s8 n s9 is the new devices
Thank you for this GREAT video.
Glad to see someone SHOW us the difference using actual tests.
Rather then TELL us the differences based on their opinions.

Have you tried zoom/skype with the tablet s9? Both freeze upon screenshare - not good for teachers at all :(
Does the s8 do the same??
My old Tab S6's screen is damaged 😢 time to replace it after nearly 5 years of heavy duty use. Excellent tablet. Thanks for this video, very informative
Why do the screens look so different at 5:40?
Passable LCD vs Super AMOLED
500 Nits vs 1000 Peak Brightness
@circasurvive9891
I think that was Dynamic AMOLED 2X. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
This is the best and most useful review ,thank you for all the info
Top tier review. Really enjoyed watching.
Great review! 👍
Best channel so far thx bro
Thinking about updating to the s9 ,coming from a tab5se with amoled screen , I really like the screen on my aging s5 however the battery is getting weak. I think this would be a good update. Paid 550 4 years ago. Currently going for 899 . Seams like a great replacement. Excellent detailed comparison 👍
thank you i have been watching a ton of reviews and yours is the only one i found that actually tested the direct sunlight and vision booster.. How is it for watching movies in sunlight? Is it watchable? I have the tab a 8 and its unwatchable. Thanks.
I bought my Tab S9 and I love the fact that it is made in India. Its written in the box and the device.
The S-pen though is made in Vietnam.
Cool video!
Quick question: The S7+ used to get really hot in just a few min of writing. How do the new tablets work in this regard?
S7+ has an overclocked CPU. I have an S8+, which has a much more balanced CPU, and there's absolutely no overheating. The S9+ has an even cooler and more battery efficient CPU.
Thakns for the response!
Well i just bought the S8 for $399. I think that is a steal, but i was tempted to buy the S9 ($699).
repost?
Different video. This is for the Tab S9 vs Tab S8. The last one was for the Ultras, but there is some overlap between the videos.
Repost
Heh it's funny that the Tab S9 sounds better than the Tab S8 on my Tab S8!
Would love you to start benchmarking multi-gig Ethernet adapters with the Samsung Tab series
Do a Galaxy Tab A8 review.
To my ears, the S8 - S9 was a bigger leap in audio quality than the S8U to S9U. iPad Pro sounded less tinny, but I would need to hear it in person to say for certain.
The Tab S9 hotspot wifi 6e is triband vs wifi 6e dual band for Tab S8.
Is have a tab s9 so I did make the right choice,I appreciate that,nice video.
Do we get option to Backup to Cloud like in S23 Phone
Setting/General/Reset/Temporary Cloud Backup on both Tablets ?
I only need it to use Excel sheets, WhatsApp, & Gmail & Keep my Note 9 for Phone Calls
Please suggest which is worth getting
Is it worth getting a USED S8 for 450$ in 2024
What about S9 Plus?
Can the S8 or S9 tablet tether a network connection over a usb c cable from a Samsung phone instead of hot spot wifi or cellular LTE? I am trying to use my S7+ tablet without wifi and LTE is not an option on my S7+.
Could someone suggest what fares better between S8 vs S9FE+?
In terms of performance and overall quality, the Tab S8 is the superior choice compared to the Tab S9 FE+. As a flagship model, the Tab S8 offers a more premium experience and enhanced capabilities. If your primary concern is obtaining the best possible performance, the Tab S8 is the recommended option.
@@Paranodorthoxia hi, thanks for the reply and I agree with your insight. Though, few month back I ended up buying tab S9.
@nickinpol Hey, nice choice! I also upgraded from a Tab S7+ to the Tab S9!
complete review, thank you
My video stutters/motion is not very smooth when watching higher res videos on TH-cam or Netflix, is this normal?
Your the only one i found who has done battery test on it 👍
Upgrade mine from s8+ wifi to s9 5G super worth it. more portable then previous but powerful.
Do the s pen of tab s9 work on tab s8
I just bought an s9+ and I love it. But I'm struggling to to find things to do with it lol. Great for videos and games, but I don't travel, nor do any pro related work like editing or typing. It seems like the tablet is geared toward pro workflows
Holy cow, the s9 and s8 look tiny compared to the ultra counterparts.
The borders on s9 are bigger than s8?
Odd, I'm noticing a few hours better battery life with the S9+ than the S8. Even better if I leave set to power save mode, since still faster than with it off on the S8+. This is general use and gaming. Mainly emulation, movies and TH-cam.
Good review...proff.....

One should only upgrade when snapdragon X comes to tablets

S9 or ipad air 5th gen?
S9 and if you have pc or laptop you'll get Samsung dex i play warzone mobile in pc cause of Samsung dex
What about dolby vision + dolby atmos who support it
Should I upgrade from my Galaxy Tab S6? 🤔
wanna trade-in my 1yo Tab-s8+ to get the S9+ but via Sammy site the trade in value is ridiculously low who can help me get better deal ? BTW thanks for the video very much appreciated
S9 seems to be having same spec across the 3 models...except for their size
June 2024 - S9+ £1099 vs S8+ only £499.00
Is the S9 worth £500 more?
Only want it for infinite painter, linked to xp pen graphics tablet,via usb out :)
Sounds like the s8 is the better deal
Samsung choosing Greyscale in Dark mode and the colored background ruined the Amoled experience
Im getting the Galaxy Tab S9 cuz i need a digital canvas and an upgrade from my current tablet.
That's all hype, the s8 is better. The finger print reader is better on the side because most ppl hold it in portrait. The rear cameras are better to.
The audio test is irrelevant.... Why not use a meter?
Looking this in s9 😂
oh wait, the s8 has much narrower bezel than the s9 doesn't it
Its not super amoled... Dynamic amoled 2x
Returned my s9 because of the awful screen reflectivity, even compared to my 2017 ipad pro...
They aren't the same spen. The one with the tab S9 is now also IP68.
I think you may be commenting on the wrong video by mistake. I never said they were the same in his video. And there's a whole section dedicated to the differences between the old and new S Pen :)

Hopefully they will have 5g for the ultra tablet soon in the states
Same video once again
This one is for the S9, the other was for the S9 Ultra
C mon samsung ...why there is no mini version of tap s9 and 8" screen for gamers? Its just a big disappointment
Now compare it to the iPad. We know the tab s 9 is better than the tab s8
Nope. Not enough to upgrade to s9. Maybe next gen.
Welp. You gotta get the Tab S9 since there is no Tab S10.
