To answer your question: Well the title said STOP WASTING MONEY in all caps, and unless I missed it, you didn't cover how we're in danger of wasting money on these items you're comparing, or how to stop. So no, I clicked the title thinking it might reflect the content, and it pretty much didn't.
Im from indonesia immigrated to Germany. Doing double degree (well apprenticeship in hotel management here in Germany and doing bachelor degree in business administration online). I really need a tablet for supporting my study , but can’t afford one rn😅😅 coz both tablets cost like 429 € each.
S9 FE has expandable storage, higher refresh rate, better display, better sound quality, better storage options, more ram, included pen, dex mode, IP68, and more versatility in OS. In my opinion, this makes the Tab S9 FE a better option. The iPad is superior in processing power, but you either don't have the features in the Tab or need to pay a lot more to have them. A strong point for the iPad, though, is longer software support. If you play a lot of games or are a very heavy user, go for iPad, but Tab S9 FE offers a lot more overall.
I have the Samsung tab s9 FE and ipad 10, they both are great but in all honesty ipad is way better for gaming while the Samsung tab s9 FE is better for software editing and work, i recommend going with the samsung tab s9 FE as it's cheaper, has more value and better speed rates and can game well, if you're planning to buy a tablet go with the samsung tab S9, it struggled with games because the version i brought is a no sim one. Buy the one with a sim although it's 100 pounds expensive it's way better as the speed is unmatched.
Even though the Samsung screen is laminated, Samsung's screens are cheaper to repair. Official factory replacement costs: Samsung: € 169,- and Apple: €255,-.
Prices in Brazil: iPad 10 (64gb): $729 iPad 10 (256gb): $1016 Tab s9 FE (128gb): $390 Tab s9 ultra: $1077 It's never worth buying an Apple product here, these prices are unaffordable. I'm buying a Tab s9 FE just to study and saving a lot of money.
I had the iPad and returned it after 1 day. The very limited storage is a major deficiency and the low refresh non-laminated screen is too much reflective and slow. I bough the S9 FE and is so much better that I can reccomend it x10 times over the iPad
Really? I saw both side by side at a store today and the S9 FE's display had too much green hue and did the typical LCD brightness shift. While I must say the 90Hz is way nicer and the S9 looked a little brighter too. I'm usually a Samsung/Android customer but the iPad does much better imo. I only need it for note taking and schoolwork so storage isn't a big issue for me.
Guys my ipad 2 bought 2011 or 2012 is still working. It doesn't get updates anymore but dang that shows how sturdy those things are despite me dropping it a thousand times or more during its lifetime. I can still use it as a form of ereader and play old games. I think tech nowadays gets obsolete real quick so just buy what is in the budget and does the job.
@@NiSE_Rafter my games are pretty basic (candy crush, wordle etc). I don't think can do games like temple run and subway surfer anymore 🤣. I had to free up some memory because I only have the 64GB one. After I did that, the speed improved a litte.
I’m a big fan of DeX. However, I only use it very occasionally on my phone. I’m a Samsung/Android fan, but Samsung can’t compete with Apple with $300ish entry level iPads, so I got an iPad 9th gen. If Samsung was able to close the gap, I’d love a tablet that I can use Dex on natively. Also, why did Samsung remove USB-C external display connectivity on the S9 FE that was included on the S7 FE, pretty lame.
I got the S9 FE in the UK for £449. I found the same price at several retailers, but John Lewis were including a set of ear buds that they normally sell at £99.
Thanks for another enjoyable comparison. I wasn't a fan of the iPad 10 when it first released, but I had a change of heart a few months ago and purchased a refurbished base model, and I've been really happy with it. I use it primarily for content consumption, no pen or keyboard, and I'm really impressed with the performance, screen and sound.
Hi, thanks for this comparison, here in Italy S9 FE WiFi with 256 GB is on sale for around 460 euros, iPad 10 WiFi with 256 GB and pencil costs 884 euros, unfortunately the expense is also a very important factor for the purchase choice
This is a useful comparison video. I've had my feet in both iPad and Samsung camps for several years now. I currently have a 2018 iPad 6. I take this to work. I also have a 2022 11inch iPad Pro, but it rarely leaves the house. This supplements my MacBook Air. I have an old Samsung A7...Still works well. I also have a Galaxy Tab A7 lite. However, I'm looking for a replacement for my 2018 iPad, and I like the look and form of the FE. The expandable memory is a deal breaker for me.
@GEN_Z_shots my iPad 6 (2018) has been my workhorse since I bought it. I take it to work with me. It's a solid, reliable tablet. My iPad Pro compliments my M1 MacBook Air. I bought the Tab S9FE to replace my 2018 iPad. I would say that the FE sits between my old iPad and iPad Pro in terms of functionality. Having said that, the S Pen is so much useful that my expensive Apple pencil.
The thing with ipads is their high price, here in Chile, you could get a galaxy tab s9 plus for the same price as the ipad 10 256 gb with pen... I chose Samsung bc it's more versatile and they're offering years of software support, not as much as apple but still, years are enough
In India Ipad 10 costs 38900 rupees (469$) And s9 fe costs 36999 rupees (445$) I like your videos for comparing the products and also you use to explain everything in your videos. But i want yo know more about apple ecosystem that what it is and how it works. And also about samsung ecosystem. Please make a separate video for it to make a better understanding. 🙏
I'm watching this with my tab s9 fe 6/256. The only thing I hate is that this tab is lagging often even when switching between apps and opening settings. It's because they put exynos rather than snapdragon.
That’s the only thing I hate about this device. I’d choose the Samsung any day over and iPad IF IT HAD THE POWER. Like cmon. A snapdragon chip would make this a better buy.
In Brazil, the s9fe costs around 2500 reais (515.20 dollars) and the 64GB iPad 10 costs 3300 reais (680.06 dollars), which is a very complicated thing because the minimum wage is 1,302 reais (268.32 ) monthly
You made the right choice Sir. It doesn't make sense to pay that price for 64 GB storage which isn't expandable and will get full within a couple of months. In 2024 selling 64Gb in base models is very much like a daylight Robery. It's very unfortunate to see that Apple gets away with these malpractices because of their "common sense deprived" fans.
I’m shopping for a tablet strictly for Marvel Unlimited and reading comics. Which one would you recommend? I feel like the S9 FE colors pop more for this purpose.
iPad 10th costs 69,000 yen ($484) Tab S9 FE is 59,000 yen ($413) The GalaxyTab is a logical choice considering that the iPad has a useless 64GB storage in this day and age, doesn't come with a pen, and has a 60Hz refresh rate. However, there are concerns about the fluidity of the animation on the Galaxy Tab.
64 gig isn’t enough. You anyone feels like this isn’t enough. You’re right it isn’t enough and don’t say “I can work it out”. You’re basically saying you want to spend an extra hundred bucks (trust me I know it since you’ll buy the case, maybe a pencil to /and or a keyboard). Just don’t with any iPad with 64gig. Unless you’re an apple fanboy then I’m sorry but keep wasting your money on estestics. I’m done here.
For years to come, I plan to only use the tab for presentation, take & store a lot of photos, notes & digital signature. Which one will be more reliable, and durable in terms of battery and processing speed between Samsung galaxy Tab A9+ with universal pen vs galaxy Tab S9 FE? … because another tech reviewer said that exynos 1380 doesn’t age well
After 2 hours ownership I took it back. Samsung 9s FE was not capable of connecting an external monitor. For a Zwift rider connecting via C to HDMI to a 32 inch monitor, this was a deal breaker. Bought an I-Pad air.
Ordering the s9 fe from Amazon Canada for $479. 128gb storage. Unfortunately ipad 10 is $499 with just 64gb storage and they have the audacity to make you pay $699 to upgrade storage.
Hi! I'm from Poland and here the iPad 10th gen costs about 2 299PLN with 64gb storage and the Galaxy Tab s9 fe cost about 2 399PLN with 128gb storage (I couldn't find 64gb one), but i think it's important to say that Samsung tab has the S pen included in the package (iPad not) and it's the main reason why I would buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab s9 fe ;) By the way, thanks for such enjoyable comparison
I have Samsung S9FE and i can recommend it ;)) Samsung has really nice app for doing notes "samsung notes" and i am using it all the time. Battery stays long. Also it has really nice speakers. Quality of sound is high. @@FARISALRUWAILI-ej1rx
0:20 Base S9 fe (6GB, 128GB) is 37k inr (443 dollars) (selling price on samsung's website for a perennial discount) while iPad 10 (64 GB) is about 55k (659 dollars) on amazon in India.
@@TechGearTalk Correction: iPad 10 (64 GB) is around the same price as s9fe here on apple store, sorry for the wrong info but the prices vary greatly on amazon.
As a marine engineer from India, I am torn between three devices for my online studies, content consumption, and trading activities: the Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra, Apple iPad Air M2, and iPad Pro M4. I currently use an iPhone 15 Pro Max and am seeking a device that will seamlessly integrate with my existing ecosystem. The devices' prices are as follows: - Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra (base model): ₹79,000 with 1 year of free accidental damage coverage - Apple iPad Air M2: ₹75,000 (without Apple Pencil or Apple Care+) - Apple iPad Pro M4: ₹1,19,000(without Apple Pencil or Apple Care+) Key considerations for my purchase decision include: 1. *Future-proofing*: Will the Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra's processor be sufficient for the next 7 years, considering the promised 7 years of OS updates? Similarly, how will the iPad Air M2 and iPad Pro M4 hold up in the future? 2. *Upcoming releases*: Should I wait for the rumored new iPad Air with M3 processor, expected in early 2025, which may come with a free Apple Pencil Pro? 3. *Additional costs*: Galaxy AI will become a chargeable service from 2026. What are the potential costs associated with each device, including repair costs? 4. *Ecosystem integration*: As an iPhone user, I value seamless integration with my existing Apple devices. Or should I switch to samsung galaxy tab just for studies? Considering my requirements and the factors mentioned above, I would appreciate your expert guidance on choosing the ideal device for my needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Hi Antonio from UK, Over the Christmas sale I bought a brand new SAMSUNG S9FE 10.9 8GB 256 GB for £327.99 in Silver.🎉 In January 2024 they have gone up and retail for £499.00 - 6gb 128gb version.
Watching all these reviews about the s9 fe i was thoroughly confused and unsure if to make the purchase. Five months later im proud to say im happy i bought the tab s9 fe + (12.4") 255gb 12gb version. Everything negative thing reviewers said about it found it to be mostly untrue. This table can multitask like a beast, has excellent build quality, speakers sound great albeit it could be a bit louder, its snappy and the screen is beautiful. I looked at the higher model the Tab S9 plus and found little difference IRL that justify the extra cost. All in all , its a great tablet for those ppl that dont need the latest or highest end stuff. PS the S-pen is great to use .
@@Lilo_D._Boom I just use samsung notes and kilonotes (both can write on pdfs too) I do prefer samsung notes because the pen makes my handwriting look nice
@@fatimahatiqah1665 better display, better handwriting feeling, better pen, ipad good for gaming and heavy duty like rendering. for small tasks, samsung better. it's like comparing a modern 1500 CC SUV and a 3000 CC 4x4 monster car
I can't choose its hard for me as i a student looking for a tablet to use for taking notes and pdf. Im looking it in a loong run investment about 3-4 yrs. The s9fe offers amazing feature and flexible storage not like ipad but as the s9fe has a lower cpu they say in a long run ipad is much better. 🤷♀️
I will go with the s9fe. Its more than enough if you dont plan on playing games like pubg etc its more than capable enough to work for a couple years with note taking and all of that. Besides that. Keep in mind that you safe and 100€ for the pen. Considering that and if you sell it. Youre most likely around 50-60% on the way to a newer model when you do plan on editing and stuff like that. I doubt that you will need it
Hi! I'm about to purchase a tablet for university. I study chemical engineering and planning on using it mostly for note-taking, videos and homework making. I have friends that state that Ipads are much better but also that the apps for it are a little limitated and for note taking i might have to purchase apps too. They say that samsung tablets are not as powerful so im really confused on my election, mostly because both look really similar to me and im scared on making the wrong choice. My phone is a motorola so i have no preferal for either brand. Please, could you help me choose?
What I care about S9 FE that it has 90hz display, included s pen, better UI and multitasking, and for me I'm an Android/Windows user. iPad 10 is better in terms of raw power and longevity, so it is a little confusing which option is better, but the 60hz is a deal breaker for me. If S9 FE had a better chip it would be a very easy choice.
For someone that wants to use it to study (make notes, download books, multitask) but wants the tablet to last for many years, Which is the best choice, please? I am so confused
@@any8574 I don't think S9 FE will last that long, and ipad 10 isn't much good for note-taking, so I think you should go for the standard tab S9 or ipad air (or pro if you can afford it), the iPad should last longer, but samsung has better multitasking and some other features (oled display and 120hz comparing to the air), so it is your choice If you want it for about like 4 years the S9 should be fine
@@any8574Ipad will literally last you years with that processor and apple's software support. Samsung will really slow down over the years due it's weak processor and lack of optimization
Watching this on my iPad 10th gen(64gb, Pink). Used to own an iPad Air (1st gen) and absolutely loved it, it’s 9 years old and still works quite well despite its low ram. Since I had such a great experience with the iPad Air, I decided to go for the 10th gen. Love this beauty just as much.
I live in Italy and this tablet cost 500€ while the S9fe+ costs 600€ but before it was 700€, the iPad cost 400€ for the 64GB storage and the 128GB cost 600€.
Depends on your use, the iPad may have a much better chip but the Tab a9+ has 90hz, expandable storage, the screen is great even though some may say it isn't and Samsung's Oneui is far more superior in my opinion. I owned an iPad 8 since its launch and the storage and os limitation is frustrating, but the Tab a9+ is cheap and very smooth even due to its chip.
Trade in should be considered as well. I just got a tab s9 fe 256bg for $196 that included tax. When you factor in how much the 256gb iPad will cost plus the cost of the pen is it still worth it?
watching this from brazil, here are some of the retail prices for ipad 10th gen: 3000brl at the lowest and 5000brl on most stores. And the s9 fe goes from 2500 brl to about 3300 brl. You could absolutely get a killer deal on both depending on the model available
Tab S9 FE 256gb in Mexico is for sale at $325, it includes the pen and the case, the iPad 64gb is $399.95, it includes nothing. The tab s9 fe 256gb is cheaper than the 128gb.
My Tab S9 FE arrived today...wow! It's a real upgrade on my 2018 iPad, that's for sure. I like the S pen. So far, so good. I won't be pushing this tablet to its limit. However, it perfectly supplements my other gadgets.
does the s pen feel like a normal stylus compared to an apple pen? I wanna buy a samsung tablet but im conflicted because i think the apple pen is really good and feels like a normal pen.
iPad 10 is 2-3x more powerful , better cameras, a 4:3 ratio screen which is better for everything apart from videos, video output to another screen via HDMi and slightly higher resolution, more premium build quality. Apple has software support for longer than Samsung. The tab S9 fe has 16.10 screen which better for video, ip68 dust and water resistance, higher storage which is expandable, pencil included which doesn’t need charging, slight better speakers and the screen is laminated So there are pros and cons to each tablet, but both are very good. It’s not a matter of one being vastly inferior or superior.
I went with the tab S9 FE because the water resistance and I got the 5G version because I use it on the boat for navigation and fishing apps as well as gps while driving which is a lot better than my phone screen or using my iPad mini 6 5G which requires a waterproof case if I use it anywhere near water.
I have been using tab s9 fe for 3 weeks. If you are going to use the tablet for lectures and taking notes, the experience of taking notes with S pen is 10/10. I also tried my friends' ipad and huawei matepad. You have to buy pen 70$ I didn't like the pen feel of them 5/10. S pen is the top. However, in terms of processor power, Tab S9 Fe is 6.5/10. My suggestion to you is to buy Tab S9 compared to Tab S9 Fe.
I wanted to know whether the size of the display of s9fe is adequate or not for things like note taking and studying ebooks for I'll be going to college in a while. I also wanted to know whether getting the tab s9 fe + would be better or the standard s9 fe would do the job for me?
I just got my s9 FE and love it, but I've never been an Apple person, nothing against it, I just like Android. Pretty much personal preference I guess.
Can you tell me an update experience about s9fe after 7 months as I'm also thinking of buying one but they say that it's not worth it in the long run as it's cpu doesn't age well😢
It’s a difficult comparison. iPad performs so strong now and for years to come. It’s just so limited. With tab S9 FE you get so much more done apart from gaming, but the processing power isn’t that great now. After 2-3 years it might be quite horrible. I’d choose iPad 9 instead of either of these, unless I’d really need to use the pen 😅
From India: Apple iPad with the Pencil is USD 450. Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE with S-Pen included is USD 320, after all discounts. I just need a note-taker and drawing applications, so the Samsung was a no-brainer choice for me.
Thanks for the comparison I'm a student if I want to purchase a tab specifically for note taking, a little bit multitasking and occasionally watching movies I have a powerful laptop with colour accurated display so I don't need this for gaming or video editing just above mentioned uses Please suggest me
I think the s9 fe might be a better pick considering your requirements. The s pen does not need to be charged for note taking so you dont need to think about charging one additional device. It has a better aspect ratio for watching movies and has dex support for multitasking as well. Also you get the s pen in the box which you don't on an ipad and the s9 fe has better base storage option with the advantage of an sd card expansion. In my opinion, as long as you don't plan on gaming on your device, the s9fe is a much better deal and will cost you cheaper generally
Just got an upgrade from Tab S6 to Tab S9 FE. It is currently on sale on Samsung website, I got $100 trade-in discount from my very old Tab S2. Total paid $249.99 in US dollar. Great quality for video and gaming. Works really well! 😊
Which tablet can offer me more convenience in long hours of work including my art and creativity projects and also cam act as a good replacement to my laptop or pc
Galaxy tab s9 FE is our choice. I just return my iPad mini 6. And I know this isn’t the same but I also do drawings. And just it’s not worth buying an extra expensive pen for the apple device. At that point get the iPad Air for refurbished. If your looking between the Tab s9 FE or IPad 10. Get the Tab s9 FE. Dex and SD card will give more advantages to a more pc feel as well. And the tab s9 FE will last long. And there is good drawing apps on android if your concern. I use IBIS paint for all my drawings. And photos can are seamless on android especially if you have an android phone.
I'm writing this from my S9 FE, I only wanted a tablet for media consumption, and oh boy,I'm super happy with the choice I've made. I have a S22 Ultra and the sync was done within minutes. The sound and display has surpassed way more what I expected! Good option if you like android and want a reasonable screen quality and performance without selling a kidney in the process! Kudos for Samsung!
@@PoGoTalks look, to be fully honest with you, I had in consideration the budget I had, amoled displays are better, but Samsung forces you to spend 800 usd on a tablet of that kind. The S9 fe for me, it has all I need, for media consumption is great and the panel is also great, in stand by mode the power consumption holds amazingly, I don't need an expensive tablet to lay on the bed at night and watch some Netflix or Max. For other people may not be enough, for me, it's all I needed and more!
@@alfredomontero5883 ok i have already Vivo T2 Pro which has amoled display and i was thinking to buy iPad 10th gen for gaming and watching movies (only if it has better viewing experience than my t2 pro)
I really wish Samsung would take notes from Apple and use Last gen Flagship chipsets rather than gimped mid range chipsets which act as a heavy bottleneck imo.
@@TechGearTalk FE models as the higher tier tabs already have the latest gen chipset. Imagine if this one had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 . This would have made it a no brainer over the ipads.
How about the screen sharinig/ presentation capabilities? I have tried over wifi but it is too laggy. Since as you said, you cannot use Usb-C as an output, what other reliable options are there?
I’m in the market for a secondary tablet to use for media consumption and Kindle reading. Right now I have the Tab S7 FE, but it’s way too big and I want a more portable tablet (especially since the tablet is gonna come with me on holidays). I’m torn between the **Galaxy Tab S9 FE, the iPad 10 and the iPad Mini 6,** all the closest ones to fit my needs….and all with very similar specs, hence why it’s hard to choose. So, which one should I get?
@@faccezitCroc The Galaxy Tab S9 FE is exactly the one I chose -- while I prefer iPadOS over One UI (and the iPad 10 has the same screen size of the Tab S9 FE), the iPad 10 and iPad Mini would stretch my budget quite a bit....plus with the Tab S9 FE copying/transferring files will be seamless....and the tablet being on sale on my local Amazon doesn't hurt either. I'll likely purchase my Tab S9 FE this week-end.
@@LucienSabre Perfect and very fitting. I’ve already decided I’m done with tablets (I return my iPad mini 6 like this week, and trust me I already know what you need to know.) and while i find tablets fitting for my budget and maybe future I don’t see a tablet as a need but more of a cool spec. If I do end of getting a tablet it’s going to be the Tab S9 FE. Bc it does everything I need to. And I find the water resistant fitting. Trust me you wouldn’t have find the iPad mini 6 WORTH IT.
@@faccezitCroc I would, and I did - I used to have an iPad Mini 6. I sold because the screen was too small to really enjoy media (it was absolutely PERFECT for reading ebooks though), which is more of a personal taste, but other than that the Mini 6 was and IS TOP-NOTCH.
@@LucienSabre yea it seems like a cool Ecstatic. Originally or maybe the only intention of the iPad mini is just for portability. I realized that the iPad mini and bc of IpadOS. It wouldn’t work. It WOULD work but that would mean a loss of more money or time. Not worth it. At least to me. And for what it’s worth. And price.
Exceptional review, can't believe you were under my radar. Obviously I haven't worked out your bias yet, but you have helped me make a purchasing decision. Thank you.
I am seriously considering the Galaxy Tab s9. My one concern is if it will run the Insta360 camera app. I am an amateur so it doesn't need to be super fast but must function . Any thoughts please.
Since I'm not planning to play game on a tablet (just art) I really think the Galaxy Tab S9 FE is a way better deal (especially when apple fazes out their products super quickly...)
So you are saying that a Samsung tablet is better than an iPad for drawing/art? I am planning to buy it, but I am confused between the Samsung s10ultra and iPad Air. Any suggestions?
I'm from Mexico and got a refurbished Tab S9 FE+ 12/256gb for around $6600mxn (about $330 usd). The only difference was the box being slightly damaged but the device looked perfectly fine surprisingly, no aesthetical damages whatsoever. And it also came with the book case as well which is a big bonus for me. Am I cooked?
“And thank you to Best Buy for sponsoring this portion of the video.” Just that portion? In other words, if you had left that portion about the sponsor out, then you wouldn’t have needed said sponsor in the first place.
Price info from finland: tab s9fe 128gb model is 580€ and ipad 10 64gb model is 600€ (800€ if you want the 256gb model of the ipad at which point you should just pay 900€ and get the base model tab s8. Samsung is the obvious choice here.
Honestly to me your iPad 10th vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE video is amazing. Thanks Sagi for sharing a thorough and very informative review with us here. I love most of your review videos. I have iPad 10th generation edition, thanks to my great aunt who sent me iPad 10th generation edition as a gift in November 2022 last year. After using it for a year, I am completely satisfied with this device. As a fashion design consultant the iPad 10th also helps me a lot in fashion illustration and my design work❤👍
Hello. I am a student. I study music and my work is always with notes. Should I buy S9FE+ or iPad 10 generation for school, watching movies, and online gatherings? Considering the price difference
I prefer the Samsung model, is better; more storage, size, S pen included, sound quality, etc. I study music too and I have the S7 FE model and It's great, actually in Samsung notes there's an option to write in staff music template
In Spain, right now: S9 FE (6Gb + 128Gb + Wifi): 449€ (on sale in amazon) -- Ipad 10 (64Gb + Wifi): 435€ (on sale in Amazon too), but the 256Gb version is 634€... It's a big difference. 😐
Not a fan of apple software Got S9FE at 380$ base model with 128gb storage , mainly for note taking and casual gaming Has free S pen which works forever without any charge Insane multitasking features , great display and microSD card support. For comparison , iPad 10th gen base model was 480$ which had like 64gb storage only , no Expendable , and Apple pencil needs to purchased separately and even apple pencil alternative costs like 25$ so total would have been 500$. If you really want IPad for similar price , iPad 9th Gen 256gb variant was available for same price as 10th gen base model.
Thanks for this great comparison! I have the Samsung ecosystem - S20FE, watch 5 and buds pro 2. And i want the tab for mostly drawing and netflix. So ig Samsung S9 FE will be a better choice for me! Also, I'm from India- iPad 10 (64GB): 480usd (36,999 inr) s9 FE (6+128) : 444usd (39,990 inr)
youre the first reviewer i have heard who points out the pen-to-glass perception difference in these two. Thank you for writing this review i can tell that it is orginal!
Hii Sir, I will be a college student in next 2 to 3 months and I'm looking for a tab for NOTE TAKING minimum durable upto 5 to 6 years...... and my budget is also 45k and extendable upto 50k max. May You help me to give a better tab choice between Tab S9 fe+ and ipad 10gen........please help me to suggest a better tab (Not for Gaming)
Best for note taking experience is S9FE+. For the price You get full experience of owning a tablet. 5yrs durability and budget friendly . Better screen.
Great video, thanks. I am debating between the two and still stuck what to get as I like both, and need one for work travel etc. I have an MacBook Pro. But then my phone and buds are Samsung.
I am from Malaysia. I was considering a lot before getting a tablet (because this is my first tablet and I want it to be worth the value). I was considering iPad 10th gen 256GB storage and Samsung S9 FE with storage of 256GB. The price for the iPad is RM2.4k and samsung s9 FE is around RM1.8k. However the iPad doesn't come with a stylus pen, which I need to spend another RM500-RM600, which I can get samsung s9 FE+ which include with a stylus pen and the RAM is 12GB for 256GB storage. In the end, I chose Samsung tablet over iPad
Hi, im considering my 1st tablet too. S9 fe can be use as our laptop/desktop tak? Mostly guna excel, word and editing pdf..hope can share ur thoughts..❤
@@fizaasat Hi. I think it should be able to do all those basic office tasks. But if you want better experience, you should go with S9 or S9+. Since I am using for online reading, story writing and learning how to draw digitally, s9 FE should work just fine 🙂 samsung tablets may have higher price compare to other China brand tablets e.g. the OPPO, Honor etc, probably those China brands have better specs than Samsung tabs at cheaper price. 😀 I am actually a fan of Samsung products for years, so it's easier to sync this tab with other samsung device
NOW THIS IS THE VIDEO I'M LOOKING FOR!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I'm looking for an Android tablet which is perfect for drawing but also good for opening Excel files for running my family business. On the other hand I'm hoping for an iPad as well (seeing some content creators doing cute digital journaling with their iPad lol) HONESTLY this video made my eyes WIDE OPEN & yes I'm definitely going to get Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 💖 thank you so much for this video!!!
@@sayda066 hi! This is my 4th month of owning & using my Samsung S9 FE, and I should say this tablet does a pretty good job tho! 🩷 It has long lasting battery power too! I even use this tablet for digital journalling (using goodnotes app) until I'm bored with it & decided to use my tablet for digital drawing 🤣
I’m still happy for my iPad 9th Gen still good and zippy for the next 2-3 years, although I will purchase an iPad 10 for my daughter as a Christmas gift for her college use. All good 😊
If only I could afford an iPad 😭 I definitely will be going with the Samsung option. I’ve been trying to find good quality tablets to try digital art on, but it’s been so hard to find ones that are affordable!
I want a tablet for general use for when my girlfriend has my macbook. Sort of stuck between these two now they both have a lot to offer it would only really get used for like youtube,college and thats about it, someone give me a hand on picking one 🤣
I have one doubt.....I'm planning to buy samsung s9 + fe edition tab and the reasons are its bigger screen and its comparatively affordable price than s8 + or s9 +(with same screen size)...... And my important doubts are will it last longer with its exynos chipset for atleast 2 to 3 years?......or will it eventually slow down ......im gonna use it mostly for studying or may be to watch netflix or youtube???....
I've been using the S9 FE+ for note taking, pdf reading, document editing use cases for two weeks. I regularly use the split screen feature and some delay/lag can be noticed when resizing split screen apps. Honestly gives me that "oh I almost forgot this is just a midrange chipset" vibes. Though for your use cases the Exynos 1380 is definitely servicable for at least 2 to 3 years. If you plan on keeping the device for longer than 3 years, I suggest going for S8+. It may be more expensive but that snapdragon 8 series is a huge jump in performance and longevity.
video playback uses hardware decoders, 10yo devices can do it and nothing short of the device breaking or the codec no longer being supported will cause you to notice any difference in playback performance.
I already decided to buy samsung tab, but i'm still confused about what should i get. Can you make a comparison between tab s9 fe and s9 fe plus? Thank you!
Almost same only the Big display. The price is almost closed. I just buy online my S9 FE+. With freebies ( freebies are free Keyboard slim worth $180, and also the price less the tab is $10 than in the physical store. And also free delivery
If you just want to consume data on the bigger screen and want to use the device for 4-5 years then just go for Ipad, Androids and Windows will also last that long but you have to face massive degradation of performance after 2 years
i use iphone and it never lags which is the best thing ever so but i gave up on the 10th gen ipad bc my major concern with ios is sideloading. i could never download a game outside the app store, and oh i could only afford the 64gb one which is too small.. i was considering the samsung fe only for the sole sake of sideloading apps for better entertainment experiences. though, i wonder if it will still be smooth after 3 years? ill be using it until my board in the next 2 years, too. 😓
I hope this comparison of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE vs the iPad 10 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

@@noisepuppetlol right. Don't buy apple. Samsung you can afford better food and still get a proper decent tablet device

Im from indonesia immigrated to Germany. Doing double degree (well apprenticeship in hotel management here in Germany and doing bachelor degree in business administration online). I really need a tablet for supporting my study , but can’t afford one rn😅😅 coz both tablets cost like 429 € each.
S9 FE has expandable storage, higher refresh rate, better display, better sound quality, better storage options, more ram, included pen, dex mode, IP68, and more versatility in OS. In my opinion, this makes the Tab S9 FE a better option. The iPad is superior in processing power, but you either don't have the features in the Tab or need to pay a lot more to have them. A strong point for the iPad, though, is longer software support. If you play a lot of games or are a very heavy user, go for iPad, but Tab S9 FE offers a lot more overall.
Thank you for the level-headed analysis!
Also the price S9 FE is cheaper
I have the Samsung tab s9 FE and ipad 10, they both are great but in all honesty ipad is way better for gaming while the Samsung tab s9 FE is better for software editing and work, i recommend going with the samsung tab s9 FE as it's cheaper, has more value and better speed rates and can game well, if you're planning to buy a tablet go with the samsung tab S9, it struggled with games because the version i brought is a no sim one. Buy the one with a sim although it's 100 pounds expensive it's way better as the speed is unmatched.
@@SkySculpter yes like I said, heavy usage like gaming is better on iPad

Even though the Samsung screen is laminated, Samsung's screens are cheaper to repair. Official factory replacement costs: Samsung: € 169,- and Apple: €255,-.
they should be cheaper since the tablet is cheaper to start and it's also old on top of that

I had the iPad and returned it after 1 day.
The very limited storage is a major deficiency and the low refresh non-laminated screen is too much reflective and slow. I bough the S9 FE and is so much better that I can reccomend it x10 times over the iPad
Which version of iPad did you buy?
Really? I saw both side by side at a store today and the S9 FE's display had too much green hue and did the typical LCD brightness shift. While I must say the 90Hz is way nicer and the S9 looked a little brighter too. I'm usually a Samsung/Android customer but the iPad does much better imo. I only need it for note taking and schoolwork so storage isn't a big issue for me.

Guys my ipad 2 bought 2011 or 2012 is still working. It doesn't get updates anymore but dang that shows how sturdy those things are despite me dropping it a thousand times or more during its lifetime. I can still use it as a form of ereader and play old games. I think tech nowadays gets obsolete real quick so just buy what is in the budget and does the job.
no literally my iPad is ancient yet it hasn't broke even though I've accidentally launched it down my stairs when I was younger on multiple occasions
Dang idk how you do it. My iPad 2 is also in good condition but it's soooooo slow now that I find it practically unusable.
@@NiSE_Rafter my games are pretty basic (candy crush, wordle etc). I don't think can do games like temple run and subway surfer anymore 🤣. I had to free up some memory because I only have the 64GB one. After I did that, the speed improved a litte.
What about Battery life after 4-5 years
@sstarineLmfaoo
I really like the S-Pen. DeX is very underrated, and even Samsung doesn't promote it very well. In genera lines I like the tab S line very much.
Underrated? It’s a joke that drains your battery even faster.
I’m a big fan of DeX. However, I only use it very occasionally on my phone. I’m a Samsung/Android fan, but Samsung can’t compete with Apple with $300ish entry level iPads, so I got an iPad 9th gen. If Samsung was able to close the gap, I’d love a tablet that I can use Dex on natively.
Also, why did Samsung remove USB-C external display connectivity on the S9 FE that was included on the S7 FE, pretty lame.
Yea, DeX is so underated I love it, but it does kill your battery a little more though, so...
because it sucks
I got the S9 FE in the UK for £449. I found the same price at several retailers, but John Lewis were including a set of ear buds that they normally sell at £99.
Thanks for another enjoyable comparison. I wasn't a fan of the iPad 10 when it first released, but I had a change of heart a few months ago and purchased a refurbished base model, and I've been really happy with it. I use it primarily for content consumption, no pen or keyboard, and I'm really impressed with the performance, screen and sound.

This is a useful comparison video. I've had my feet in both iPad and Samsung camps for several years now. I currently have a 2018 iPad 6. I take this to work. I also have a 2022 11inch iPad Pro, but it rarely leaves the house. This supplements my MacBook Air. I have an old Samsung A7...Still works well. I also have a Galaxy Tab A7 lite. However, I'm looking for a replacement for my 2018 iPad, and I like the look and form of the FE. The expandable memory is a deal breaker for me.
What's your purpose ? I have the a7 and want to upgrade. What should I choose ? The iPad 10 or tab s9 fe / fe+ ?
@GEN_Z_shots my iPad 6 (2018) has been my workhorse since I bought it. I take it to work with me. It's a solid, reliable tablet. My iPad Pro compliments my M1 MacBook Air. I bought the Tab S9FE to replace my 2018 iPad. I would say that the FE sits between my old iPad and iPad Pro in terms of functionality. Having said that, the S Pen is so much useful that my expensive Apple pencil.

I'm watching this with my tab s9 fe 6/256. The only thing I hate is that this tab is lagging often even when switching between apps and opening settings. It's because they put exynos rather than snapdragon.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience. I appreciate you for being part of the channel!
That’s the only thing I hate about this device. I’d choose the Samsung any day over and iPad IF IT HAD THE POWER. Like cmon. A snapdragon chip would make this a better buy.
In Brazil, the s9fe costs around 2500 reais (515.20 dollars) and the 64GB iPad 10 costs 3300 reais (680.06 dollars), which is a very complicated thing because the minimum wage is 1,302 reais (268.32 ) monthly
I live in Singapore. Prices are:
iPad 10, 64GB, Wifi = $685.30
S9FE, 128GB, Wifi = $669.00
I think S9FE has the slight edge, except for the chipset…
Thank you for the pricing info and your opinion about the winner!
Don't forget you get a free pen with the Tab S9Fe
You made the right choice Sir. It doesn't make sense to pay that price for 64 GB storage which isn't expandable and will get full within a couple of months. In 2024 selling 64Gb in base models is very much like a daylight Robery. It's very unfortunate to see that Apple gets away with these malpractices because of their "common sense deprived" fans.

The GalaxyTab is a logical choice considering that the iPad has a useless 64GB storage in this day and age, doesn't come with a pen, and has a 60Hz refresh rate. However, there are concerns about the fluidity of the animation on the Galaxy Tab.
90hz on galaxy tab is useless too, you only use it for scrolling social media since you can't even get 60 fps in gaming
64 gig isn’t enough. You anyone feels like this isn’t enough. You’re right it isn’t enough and don’t say “I can work it out”. You’re basically saying you want to spend an extra hundred bucks (trust me I know it since you’ll buy the case, maybe a pencil to /and or a keyboard). Just don’t with any iPad with 64gig.

As a marine engineer from India, I am torn between three devices for my online studies, content consumption, and trading activities: the Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra, Apple iPad Air M2, and iPad Pro M4. I currently use an iPhone 15 Pro Max and am seeking a device that will seamlessly integrate with my existing ecosystem.
The devices' prices are as follows:
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra (base model): ₹79,000 with 1 year of free accidental damage coverage
- Apple iPad Air M2: ₹75,000 (without Apple Pencil or Apple Care+)
- Apple iPad Pro M4: ₹1,19,000(without Apple Pencil or Apple Care+)
Key considerations for my purchase decision include:
1. *Future-proofing*: Will the Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra's processor be sufficient for the next 7 years, considering the promised 7 years of OS updates? Similarly, how will the iPad Air M2 and iPad Pro M4 hold up in the future?
2. *Upcoming releases*: Should I wait for the rumored new iPad Air with M3 processor, expected in early 2025, which may come with a free Apple Pencil Pro?
3. *Additional costs*: Galaxy AI will become a chargeable service from 2026. What are the potential costs associated with each device, including repair costs?
4. *Ecosystem integration*: As an iPhone user, I value seamless integration with my existing Apple devices. Or should I switch to samsung galaxy tab just for studies?
Considering my requirements and the factors mentioned above, I would appreciate your expert guidance on choosing the ideal device for my needs.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Hi Antonio from UK, Over the Christmas sale I bought a brand new SAMSUNG S9FE 10.9 8GB 256 GB for £327.99 in Silver.🎉 In January 2024 they have gone up and retail for £499.00 - 6gb 128gb version.
Poor people's tablet
Watching all these reviews about the s9 fe i was thoroughly confused and unsure if to make the purchase.
Five months later im proud to say im happy i bought the tab s9 fe + (12.4") 255gb 12gb version. Everything negative thing reviewers said about it found it to be mostly untrue.
This table can multitask like a beast, has excellent build quality, speakers sound great albeit it could be a bit louder, its snappy and the screen is beautiful. I looked at the higher model the Tab S9 plus and found little difference IRL that justify the extra cost.
All in all , its a great tablet for those ppl that dont need the latest or highest end stuff. PS the S-pen is great to use .

Trade in should be considered as well. I just got a tab s9 fe 256bg for $196 that included tax. When you factor in how much the 256gb iPad will cost plus the cost of the pen is it still worth it?

My Tab S9 FE arrived today...wow! It's a real upgrade on my 2018 iPad, that's for sure. I like the S pen. So far, so good. I won't be pushing this tablet to its limit. However, it perfectly supplements my other gadgets.
CONGRATS!!! Drop by and let me know how you like it!
does the s pen feel like a normal stylus compared to an apple pen? I wanna buy a samsung tablet but im conflicted because i think the apple pen is really good and feels like a normal pen.
@@zeussinboots1769if you are using the device for writing and navigation then s pen is better. Idk about drawing
How has it been so far with battery life and all?
@@zeussinboots1769 I prefer the S pen to the Apple pencil. I find writing with it feels more pen-like. I don't really use my Apple pencil anymore.
iPad 10 is 2-3x more powerful , better cameras, a 4:3 ratio screen which is better for everything apart from videos, video output to another screen via HDMi and slightly higher resolution, more premium build quality. Apple has software support for longer than Samsung.
The tab S9 fe has 16.10 screen which better for video, ip68 dust and water resistance, higher storage which is expandable, pencil included which doesn’t need charging, slight better speakers and the screen is laminated
So there are pros and cons to each tablet, but both are very good. It’s not a matter of one being vastly inferior or superior.
I went with the tab S9 FE because the water resistance and I got the 5G version because I use it on the boat for navigation and fishing apps as well as gps while driving which is a lot better than my phone screen or using my iPad mini 6 5G which requires a waterproof case if I use it anywhere near water.
I have been using tab s9 fe for 3 weeks. If you are going to use the tablet for lectures and taking notes, the experience of taking notes with S pen is 10/10. I also tried my friends' ipad and huawei matepad. You have to buy pen 70$ I didn't like the pen feel of them 5/10. S pen is the top. However, in terms of processor power, Tab S9 Fe is 6.5/10. My suggestion to you is to buy Tab S9 compared to Tab S9 Fe.
is the camera good?
@@faiqkhair903 The front camera has an ultra wide angle. The quality is very good for a tablet, although not as good as an iPad.
Does it have Dex feature? Also what all can be done with Dex feature?
I wanted to know whether the size of the display of s9fe is adequate or not for things like note taking and studying ebooks for I'll be going to college in a while.
I also wanted to know whether getting the tab s9 fe + would be better or the standard s9 fe would do the job for me?
Why is the processor a 6.5 in your opinion ?
I just got my s9 FE and love it, but I've never been an Apple person, nothing against it, I just like Android. Pretty much personal preference I guess.
Can you tell me an update experience about s9fe after 7 months as I'm also thinking of buying one but they say that it's not worth it in the long run as it's cpu doesn't age well😢
It’s a difficult comparison. iPad performs so strong now and for years to come. It’s just so limited. With tab S9 FE you get so much more done apart from gaming, but the processing power isn’t that great now. After 2-3 years it might be quite horrible. I’d choose iPad 9 instead of either of these, unless I’d really need to use the pen 😅
why would it be horrible 3 yrs from now?
From India: Apple iPad with the Pencil is USD 450. Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE with S-Pen included is USD 320, after all discounts. I just need a note-taker and drawing applications, so the Samsung was a no-brainer choice for me.
Thanks for the comparison
I'm a student if I want to purchase a tab specifically for note taking, a little bit multitasking and occasionally watching movies
I have a powerful laptop with colour accurated display so I don't need this for gaming or video editing just above mentioned uses
Please suggest me
Same requirements bro
I think the s9 fe might be a better pick considering your requirements. The s pen does not need to be charged for note taking so you dont need to think about charging one additional device. It has a better aspect ratio for watching movies and has dex support for multitasking as well. Also you get the s pen in the box which you don't on an ipad and the s9 fe has better base storage option with the advantage of an sd card expansion. In my opinion, as long as you don't plan on gaming on your device, the s9fe is a much better deal and will cost you cheaper generally
will it last me 4-5 years atleast? @@jaiadityasethi2096
S9 fe for sure (note taking)
Just got an upgrade from Tab S6 to Tab S9 FE. It is currently on sale on Samsung website, I got $100 trade-in discount from my very old Tab S2. Total paid $249.99 in US dollar. Great quality for video and gaming. Works really well! 😊
Which tablet can offer me more convenience in long hours of work including my art and creativity projects and also cam act as a good replacement to my laptop or pc
Galaxy tab s9 FE is our choice. I just return my iPad mini 6. And I know this isn’t the same but I also do drawings. And just it’s not worth buying an extra expensive pen for the apple device. At that point get the iPad Air for refurbished.
If your looking between the Tab s9 FE or IPad 10. Get the Tab s9 FE. Dex and SD card will give more advantages to a more pc feel as well. And the tab s9 FE will last long. And there is good drawing apps on android if your concern. I use IBIS paint for all my drawings. And photos can are seamless on android especially if you have an android phone.
@@faccezitCroc thanks a lot. This was very helpful
I'm writing this from my S9 FE, I only wanted a tablet for media consumption, and oh boy,I'm super happy with the choice I've made. I have a S22 Ultra and the sync was done within minutes. The sound and display has surpassed way more what I expected! Good option if you like android and want a reasonable screen quality and performance without selling a kidney in the process! Kudos for Samsung!
Hey .. can you tell ..
Which is better for watching movies??
Amoled display mobile or
IPS display Tablet..
@@PoGoTalks look, to be fully honest with you, I had in consideration the budget I had, amoled displays are better, but Samsung forces you to spend 800 usd on a tablet of that kind. The S9 fe for me, it has all I need, for media consumption is great and the panel is also great, in stand by mode the power consumption holds amazingly, I don't need an expensive tablet to lay on the bed at night and watch some Netflix or Max. For other people may not be enough, for me, it's all I needed and more!
@@alfredomontero5883 ok i have already Vivo T2 Pro which has amoled display and i was thinking to buy iPad 10th gen for gaming and watching movies (only if it has better viewing experience than my t2 pro)
hello, i am from chile, and the prices here are the same for both tablets , like 530 dollars.
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I really wish Samsung would take notes from Apple and use Last gen Flagship chipsets rather than gimped mid range chipsets which act as a heavy bottleneck imo.
Thank you for watching! Do you mean this for the FE models or the flagship Samsung models?
@@TechGearTalkFE models
@@TechGearTalk FE models as the higher tier tabs already have the latest gen chipset. Imagine if this one had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 . This would have made it a no brainer over the ipads.
Or just get last year’s tablets lol S8 tab is still out there
If they do that then de S9 wouldnt sell and they backfire themselves. Really you don't think that samsung is that dumb.@@adityaghosal1000
How about the screen sharinig/ presentation capabilities? I have tried over wifi but it is too laggy. Since as you said, you cannot use Usb-C as an output, what other reliable options are there?
Search YT for "android USB video adapter"
There are none, just don't buy the iPad
I'm from Trinidad and the Samsung S9 Fe 256GB is 3500 TTD and the iPad 10 256GB is 6500 TTD so the S9 Fe is a better option if you are on a budget
I’m in the market for a secondary tablet to use for media consumption and Kindle reading. Right now I have the Tab S7 FE, but it’s way too big and I want a more portable tablet (especially since the tablet is gonna come with me on holidays). I’m torn between the **Galaxy Tab S9 FE, the iPad 10 and the iPad Mini 6,** all the closest ones to fit my needs….and all with very similar specs, hence why it’s hard to choose. So, which one should I get?
Hi! Do you have an update? Which one did you choose? If not I know the right option form your suggestion is only the Tab s9fe.
@@faccezitCroc The Galaxy Tab S9 FE is exactly the one I chose -- while I prefer iPadOS over One UI (and the iPad 10 has the same screen size of the Tab S9 FE), the iPad 10 and iPad Mini would stretch my budget quite a bit....plus with the Tab S9 FE copying/transferring files will be seamless....and the tablet being on sale on my local Amazon doesn't hurt either. I'll likely purchase my Tab S9 FE this week-end.
@@LucienSabre Perfect and very fitting. I’ve already decided I’m done with tablets (I return my iPad mini 6 like this week, and trust me I already know what you need to know.) and while i find tablets fitting for my budget and maybe future I don’t see a tablet as a need but more of a cool spec. If I do end of getting a tablet it’s going to be the Tab S9 FE. Bc it does everything I need to. And I find the water resistant fitting. Trust me you wouldn’t have find the iPad mini 6 WORTH IT.
@@faccezitCroc I would, and I did - I used to have an iPad Mini 6. I sold because the screen was too small to really enjoy media (it was absolutely PERFECT for reading ebooks though), which is more of a personal taste, but other than that the Mini 6 was and IS TOP-NOTCH.
@@LucienSabre yea it seems like a cool Ecstatic. Originally or maybe the only intention of the iPad mini is just for portability. I realized that the iPad mini and bc of IpadOS. It wouldn’t work. It WOULD work but that would mean a loss of more money or time. Not worth it. At least to me. And for what it’s worth. And price.

Since I'm not planning to play game on a tablet (just art) I really think the Galaxy Tab S9 FE is a way better deal (especially when apple fazes out their products super quickly...)
So you are saying that a Samsung tablet is better than an iPad for drawing/art? I am planning to buy it, but I am confused between the Samsung s10ultra and iPad Air. Any suggestions?
I'm from Mexico and got a refurbished Tab S9 FE+ 12/256gb for around $6600mxn (about $330 usd).
The only difference was the box being slightly damaged but the device looked perfectly fine surprisingly, no aesthetical damages whatsoever. And it also came with the book case as well which is a big bonus for me.
Am I cooked?
“And thank you to Best Buy for sponsoring this portion of the video.” Just that portion? In other words, if you had left that portion about the sponsor out, then you wouldn’t have needed said sponsor in the first place.

Price info from finland: tab s9fe 128gb model is 580€ and ipad 10 64gb model is 600€ (800€ if you want the 256gb model of the ipad at which point you should just pay 900€ and get the base model tab s8. Samsung is the obvious choice here.

Not a fan of apple software
Got S9FE at 380$ base model with 128gb storage , mainly for note taking and casual gaming
Has free S pen which works forever without any charge
Insane multitasking features , great display and microSD card support.
For comparison , iPad 10th gen base model was 480$ which had like 64gb storage only , no Expendable , and Apple pencil needs to purchased separately and even apple pencil alternative costs like 25$ so total would have been 500$.
If you really want IPad for similar price , iPad 9th Gen 256gb variant was available for same price as 10th gen base model.
Thank you very much for watching and for sharing your perspective and buying decisions!
Great video. Does S9 FE come with a Sim card slot? can't seem to get a straight answer.

I am from Malaysia. I was considering a lot before getting a tablet (because this is my first tablet and I want it to be worth the value). I was considering iPad 10th gen 256GB storage and Samsung S9 FE with storage of 256GB. The price for the iPad is RM2.4k and samsung s9 FE is around RM1.8k. However the iPad doesn't come with a stylus pen, which I need to spend another RM500-RM600, which I can get samsung s9 FE+ which include with a stylus pen and the RAM is 12GB for 256GB storage. In the end, I chose Samsung tablet over iPad

@@fizaasat Hi. I think it should be able to do all those basic office tasks. But if you want better experience, you should go with S9 or S9+. Since I am using for online reading, story writing and learning how to draw digitally, s9 FE should work just fine 🙂 samsung tablets may have higher price compare to other China brand tablets e.g. the OPPO, Honor etc, probably those China brands have better specs than Samsung tabs at cheaper price. 😀 I am actually a fan of Samsung products for years, so it's easier to sync this tab with other samsung device

I want a tablet for general use for when my girlfriend has my macbook. Sort of stuck between these two now they both have a lot to offer it would only really get used for like youtube,college and thats about it, someone give me a hand on picking one 🤣
I think the brightness difference is also worth mentioning. Important when using outdoor or in airports.
I have one doubt.....I'm planning to buy samsung s9 + fe edition tab and the reasons are its bigger screen and its comparatively affordable price than s8 + or s9 +(with same screen size)......
And my important doubts are will it last longer with its exynos chipset for atleast 2 to 3 years?......or will it eventually slow down ......im gonna use it mostly for studying or may be to watch netflix or youtube???....
I've been using the S9 FE+ for note taking, pdf reading, document editing use cases for two weeks. I regularly use the split screen feature and some delay/lag can be noticed when resizing split screen apps. Honestly gives me that "oh I almost forgot this is just a midrange chipset" vibes. Though for your use cases the Exynos 1380 is definitely servicable for at least 2 to 3 years. If you plan on keeping the device for longer than 3 years, I suggest going for S8+. It may be more expensive but that snapdragon 8 series is a huge jump in performance and longevity.
@@papagandalf9411 thank you
video playback uses hardware decoders, 10yo devices can do it and nothing short of the device breaking or the codec no longer being supported will cause you to notice any difference in playback performance.
I live in Turkey. Current prices are Tab S9 Fe base model is 345$, iPad 10 base model is 420$.
I already decided to buy samsung tab, but i'm still confused about what should i get. Can you make a comparison between tab s9 fe and s9 fe plus? Thank you!
Almost same only the Big display. The price is almost closed. I just buy online my S9 FE+. With freebies ( freebies are free Keyboard slim worth $180, and also the price less the tab is $10 than in the physical store. And also free delivery
get last year's S8.
If you just want to consume data on the bigger screen and want to use the device for 4-5 years then just go for Ipad, Androids and Windows will also last that long but you have to face massive degradation of performance after 2 years
Not true, I have been using my old mi pad 4 for years, I don't see any degradation, let alone massive degradation.

i use iphone and it never lags which is the best thing ever so but i gave up on the 10th gen ipad bc my major concern with ios is sideloading. i could never download a game outside the app store, and oh i could only afford the 64gb one which is too small..
i was considering the samsung fe only for the sole sake of sideloading apps for better entertainment experiences. though, i wonder if it will still be smooth after 3 years? ill be using it until my board in the next 2 years, too. 😓
