This, along with that keyboard, is amazing! This may be my next travel device
Always reliable reviews! Thanks
I think Android OS and Chrome OS should just merge. Samsung DEX should be Chrome OS. I don't know how Google can get developers on board so that we have Apps that can scale across tablet/desktop modes, Full screen/Portrait/Landscape and Window Modes.
Please make a smackdown comparison between the S9 ultra and the Tab Extreme, nobody has done a proper one on youtube yet...
Hello andrew, I was just wondering, is the keyboard case full sized? if so I might consider getting it.
Great review, Andrew. So the S9 is better because of the newer processor, but would you say the Lenovo is better for productivity because of the keyboard?
How do the two keyboards you cited differ in regards to functionality? fyi i too am pissed about there being no GAN power brick. considering the size of the battery compared to phones there needs be a fast charging usb power supply included, especially at this price as a normal phone charger is far too slow.
stunning camera quality
So I have a few takes on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. First of all, it is a very Premium tablet. The keyboard, sold separately, is also very expensive. Regarding the charger which is not included, yes we need to thank Apple for starting this trend to our detriment. The reality of the matter is that like it or not, this is the trend nowadays with these companies. I’m not saying it’s right as I also don’t agree with it but it is a fact. Aside from the negatives just mentioned, it’s a tablet with a gorgeous display, cameras both front and rear are very sharp and so is the quality of the mic arrays. The Lenovo tablet has a fuller speaker sound as apposed to the Samsung’s but Samsung’s speaker quality is not bad. Thank you for the amazing review Andrew as these reviews keep getting better and better!! 👏😁
thanks Rafael!!
This is a nice tablet no doubt. Diaplay is ecellent. Camera and mics are good. Speakers sounded okay but agreed with you that the Lenovo sounded slightly better. The lack of an included charger I think should have been included as a con you listed at the end of this review especially for the price one is paying for this. Anyway have a nice trip to Germany. Great review.
Yes, I forgot to put that in the cons section but certainly belongs there.
Does the Lenovo Tab Extreme allow you to create a new folder in the file manager? Some people have reported issues with that.
Great review. Looking forward to my tablet arriving, like yourself I am frustrated with the lack of charger.
Hey what'sup man awesome video. Would you recommend the Lenovo tab extreme over the tab S9 ultra?which one is a better buy on your opinion?thanks 🙏
I think the Tab S9 Ultra sounds better, it just seems to have a more cohesive sound. Ridiculously loud, and nice low end reach. The Lenovo did seem warmer but didn't reach as low. I would hazard a guess that some quick tweaks in the Tab S9 Ultra's sound settings could balance it to sound less mid-focused, sacrificing some of the plentiful volume.
Great review. Just upgrading from 7Fe to S9 ultra. How easy to take screen shots. Difficult on 7fe
Thank you, Andrew for this review. No question, this is either one or two in the Android Tablet Market. I'm happy with the One Plus Pad, the price is so competitive, the functionality is good, sure there are drawbacks, but for the work that a tablet should do, it is just fine. Have a great trip to Berlin. Take Care.
Thanks Dean!
David --- In your opinion if you were to buy one.. Lenovo Tab Extreme or the S9 Ultra.. Thank you for all the helpful reviews you do..
Can you review one of the Framework laptops? I would love to see how they stand up to your review style.
Beautiful tablet, just be careful not to crack screen due to how thin it is. Two weeks in and have had to send mine it to have screen replaced due to cracking. Not covered under warranty cost $535 Australian.
The cost for the 5g 1tb ultra here in Australia is nearly $3,000, slim keyboard is $350 track pad one is over$450
Very good review
Thanks 🙏
At least through your mic, the speakers sounded way better and fuller on the lenovo
Great thanks
You are welcome
Great review. I am still thinking but I believe I will skip this TabS9 and wait for the next model. I have the S6 that works really well.
6:53 can u make the writing for these kinda things bigger so we can read it even on smaller devices like the phone
In Hong Kong, the keyboard is included along with the pen at around 1100USD, see if there is better deal somewhere near you.
I love that you use the Stadia controller with an Android tablet so everything is more or less in the same ecosystem.
At least with the iPad keyboard case you can also charge with the USB port on it, and it has the cool floating magnet stand. I'm still going to buy the Samsung one for my ultra, but I think Apple's price is a bit more justifiable.
Hopefully they will have 5g for the ultra tablet soon in the states 😊
It's my understanding the Lenovo Tab Extreme is being upgraded and then released again. So should be an even better tablet once available. Can't lose with either device. No trade in deals on the Lenovo unfortunately. A direct comparison video would be great!
Thanks for the info
@@andrewmarcdavid Did you find out what they were upgrading? Can't find any comparison charts or information regarding the Tab Extreme Upgrade
Don't forget the four years of updates and 5 years security then you have the trade in. Which one will hold its value more in 4 years?
Is this the s9 ultra 16gb ram version ?
One thing that is amazing about this device, and I feel is overlooked, but the standby battery consumption is amazing. Say if the tablet goes unused and just sitting on your desk the whole day, it'll only loose 2-4%
How did I miss this upload!?
Nice Review👍 For me sounds the Samsung a little better and cleaner. In total its rly a good tablet and the display is the best you can get, Samsung is leader of quality displays. The keyboard is over priced like the Apple keyboard.
Thanks!
Samsung should have send him a s9 ultra for sponsor best review
The Tab S9 Ultra + an extra USB-C port as on the Lenovo + the Lenovo keyboard 🤤
If the Lenovo Extreme tab ever was in stock I was more leaning towards it bc it’s an improvement over S8 Ultra and Lenovo has guaranteed support on it until 2025 but checking on and off after your video of it it’s just not available at all. That’s why I’m going to end up getting the S9 Ultra great video on your likes and dislikes on this monster tablet
Errr, Lenovo has updates till 2025, S9 Ultra probably has them till 2027, since the S9 Ultra just launched? And five years of security updates?
@@sskhussaini yea look at Lenovo’s road map for it and I know the Ultra will get them until 2027 lol 😂 Samsung has that 4 year policy now. Which is great. I’ll prolly hold on until the s10 Ultra comes out bc honestly Samsungs trade in program is unmatched honestly
Will the Lenovo keyboard work with the gal tab s9?
Will not work as they are different types of connection
Had mines for 2 days I am not blown away but I think it is because not to give us full 4K on such a large display is crap. I like it but not blown awaylike I thought I would be and I think that is the reason.
This device is VERY compelling, but I'm not sure if I can justify the cost of it. I would primarily want this for watching movies. I wish you had touched upon that in a review. I imagine the movie watching experience is incredible, at least the video part of it.
I can do a separate video
@@andrewmarcdavid Can't wait for it!
I just bought de 5G 256GB for 930 EUR / USD without Tax... and without the crazy keyboard cover option @ 350 USD ! Mad price
The notch 🤔 why?
If only there was a magic keyboard product for the samsung tab S9 ultra. I really dislike the kickstand and would much prefer the hinge mechanism on the lenovo and magic keyboard.
Agreed.
The Lenovo Tab Extreme costs 1200€ in Europe, and it's not bundled with the keyboard which also costs 350€ to buy separately.
I don't understand why it's nearly 500€ more expensive in Europe than in the US when the Samsung S9 Ultra costs the same everywhere.
Great review 👍
The S9 Ultra is definitely a powerhouse BUT i'd have expected a much higher level of its display brightness!
Even on my Galaxy Tab S7+ the maximum brightness seems to be higher!
Are there any tools to test the display on tablets?
Thx from Munich 😉
I don't have it yet so take it with a grain of salt, but i've read that it only pushes maximum brightness when brightness is set to auto and in extremely bright environments like studio lighting or outdoors on a sunny day.
Don't know any tools that'll let you bypass that, if that's the case.
Ive already pre-ordered it (Australia), but Im very keen on hearing some confirmation bias ahahaha, lets hope Im right.
Always love your reviews, extremely thorough.
Hope you enjoy it!
The best model this year has to be the 11 inch model. Given it FINALLY has an OLED screen since it was cheaped out to an IPS screen in 2020 with the Tab S7, I'd say it's a worthy upgrade for Tab S7 or S8 owners. And the microSD card expansion being retained as well as IP68 dust & water resistance are also really nice!
Personally, I would call these tablets better than the iPad Pros if you're not in the Apple ecosystem or trying to leave it.
Agreed!
price of the keyboard cases is daylight robbery id pay 50 max
Love this review, first i thought 11 hours of studying on it is quite bad (as battery life), but now im sure it is too good
It's a shame that those speakers are way better than some laptops. Even with only four speakers the Tab S9 Ultra sounds nice.
Thank you for calling out the bs of no charger it's ridiculous. Imagune we spend hundreds of dollars but are not given a charger in the box at least give us the option of saying yes or no to one.
Agreed 👍
I agree. Even Apple adds a charger with their tablets. And I think it should come with a complimentary one if the user asks for one; total fail on Samsung's part.
Time to move past the no charger gripe. It's been years now... shm
@EdCallahan this is the mindset that companies hope for and what allows them to make actions that are anti consumer.
@@CallaFab Do you own Apple stock or something!? 😬
Nice video...(your choice of music sounds were crap )😢😢😢
People claim it too big and expensive. Perhaps it is for TH-cam reviewers device.
The JBL is slightly better,, BUT JBL doesn't have a long lifespan
When Dell inspiron plus 2023 full review?
Early next week. I am in the middle of reviewing.
@@andrewmarcdavid Thank you for your reply. I'm really waiting for it.
It better be ultra for that price tag where the hell do they get 350 for a keyboard
For me, the keyboard cover is a necessary evil. Absolute extortionist price but you miss out on so much without it. It adds so much to the overall experience
Keyboard is really stupid for a tablet unless it replaces a laptop. Why not just use a laptop then.
Samsung tablets are great. While the keyboard cases are nice, they are extremely overpriced. Considering you can get an Arteck bluetooth keyboard for $20, and it has backlighting. A case for $20. And a bluetooth mouse for $10.
Ok I got tablet tab a7 samung
The Lenovo seems like the best bang for your buck compared to the Samsung, seems like you are paying an extensive premium for the Samsung name.
I don't get why you would want to put Android on a tablet. The only tablets that are worth their while are Windows tablets.
“That would suck. It DOES suck!” Man, that echoes my thoughts at this no-charger nonsense they do these days.
The galaxy tab S9 has better audio.
keyboard looks crap when compared to the magic keyboard of the ipad pro... Also, becuase it has that cheap kickstand.. At least with the ipad, you get an innovative stand that holds the ipad steady in every angle.. (nearly)... Shame, I'd not pay that money for such a keyboard, give it 2 months, you'll get a logitech or other knock-off for less than half...
Warning, Warning, Apple fanboy spotted in Android and/or Windows comment section again.
Lenovo has better speakers
