I've had this particular Samsung tablet for about six months now. I got it during Samsung's Early Black Friday sale, in which one could get a $50 USD discount on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Having used the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE up to that point, I traded it in for the 6GB/128GB version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and got a $300 USD trade-in discount for it, bringing my total price down to approximately $100 USD. I'm a budget-conscious digital artist and hobbyist 2D animator who likes to draw, sketch, and animate on the go, and I don’t really need any fancy stuff like the OLED screen, a high-end CPU, or USB-C video output. My go-to drawing and animation app is Clip Studio Paint EX.
Awesome to hear! Sounds like a good device for you. And what a price
Hey there! Im a college student and Im thinking of buying this tablet in a while for taking notes and binge watching content on. Do you also watch movies and stuff on your tab? If so, do you find the screen size to be large enough or do you wish you had gone for the fe plus?
@@user-th2js3sp5pI'm a uni student aswell, I use the S6 lite but am planning on getting the S9 FE. Now the question is should I get 6 or 8GB of Ram?
I bought my Galaxy S9 FE a few months ago, and i love it! As an artist, it is really good and I haven't had any problems up to date!
Yeah it's pretty great imo

I’ve had mine since the day before Thanksgiving.
My daughters 13th birthday is com8ng up and I was thinking about getting this for her to draw on instead of her other tablet. Is there any specific apps you use or things you could recommend please?
Do you have any recommendations for drawing apps
I've commented before in your reviews on this tablet. This device is my daily driver! I love it. I have my work PC of course but I paired this device with the Samsung Keyboard and for what I do (Email, MS Office, Tech Content), it has gotten the job done with no problem everyday since the purchase of the device. I did add 128 GB of storage, but this device hasn't given me any issues. I do note that during zoom calls/teams calls it can get a little warm but that is it. Performance for me is great. Great review!
Thanks so much. It seriously means a lot. Thanks for all the comments and for sticking with me
Good day sir. How do i fall in-line to do what you do
I bought one around four months ago. It's all the tablet I need, and half price. What's not to like about that?
Exactly. People think they need the best but this is REALLY good
This is EXACTLY why I got this model myself as well. I don't need the OLED screen. I don't need the quad speakers. I don't even need the Snapdragon whatever. All I needed was a good quality tablet that can be my content viewing machine, and the Tab S9 FE fits that bill perfectly! Very satisfied with my purchase.
Now the s9 is available for same price
@@Rohan-lw7wiin Canada s9 fe 449$ s9 899$.
@@Haymaker72 I just bought s9 for 349USD In sale.
Got one with verizon with my galaxy watch 6, not really a tab user considering my phone is normally handy but this tablet is really good mid tier specs....love the s pen and with the right case it's cool to show off
For sure. I think it's pretty great.
thank you this was really helpful! I wanted to know how this model helped up so seeing this update was great!
Thanks so much! Glad this helped
Thanks!
Thank you!
@@AndroidDigest You bet!
my partner bought me this tab s9 FE yesterday as an advanced mothers day gift and I am loving it! They also gave us freebies including the samsung wireless keyboard and the brick charger. priced at 24990 php here in the Philippines.
Awesome! Hope you're enjoying it. It's pretty nice
What shop did you buy it here in the philippines?
Hi! Saang store niyo po nabili?
Love the samsung software and one UI 6
Yeah it's pretty great imo
Thank you for your review
Thank you so much!
Nice review. I'm interested in the keyboard you are using. Question does de S9 FE gets de galaxy AI functions?
No. It won't get the Galaxy AI functions at least from what I've heard. Maybe things will change
@@AndroidDigest Shame, but i still keep hoping 🙂
Super solid device. My only gripe is that I'm spoiled with OLED being on all my displays. I ended up just spending the $1k to get the Lenovo Tab Extreme. I consider just spending the money on the Galaxy Tab S9 ultra but I wanted to give Lenovo a try since they are basically the same size but you also get the keyboard case included and the fast charging brick.
Nothing wrong with that. The only thing I don't love with Lenovo is that they are a little bit slow with updates. But that extreme has such an incredible keyboard. I love that device.
Hello, thanks for the video! I Does it get hot while gaming. And what about the heat during daily usage. Th
It can get a little warm with extensive gaming, never got too hot for me personally. But I play in a normal climate, not hot over here.
Just bought an fe+... Dex is amazing I'm so impressed with it
For sure. Thanks for the comment
battery drain test?
Hello. I find you're review to be honest, down to earth, and you cover specifics I haven't heard or read elsewhere. I have the S9 FE 5G model,which has been a fairly decent tablet overall. I only use for browsing the Internet and some lightweight apps. I bought it through AT&T for it's 5G cellular connectivity and it hasn't performed very well in that regard due to issues with AT&T's technology at this time. I've been looking for other's take on that model, but there just doesn't seem to be any information about anywhere online and I find that to be a bit unusual given the plethora of information on even the most obscure products. Have you ever considered checking that one out , or is there a particular reason, that you may be aware of, that there is very little info about it? It is model number X518U. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the comment. Honestly, people just don't talk about those cellular models for a good reason.
I'm not saying this judging your use case or anything. But phones nowadays have a hotspot, to connect your tablet. You just have to press one button and your phone can create Wi-Fi. Tablets will automatically connect to wifi if the password is saved. For sure, there's a reason that some people like to always have their tablets connected to the internet. But it's becoming more of a niche thing.
It's also so random as far as what tablets actually create, Cellular availability. At least in the US, at launch, they only had a cellular version of the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus. Not the Ultra, not the regular S9. And when these things do become available, it's not at all carriers, and they do charge more for those cellular models. Typically. They do give discounts if you sign up for a contract, but you get my point.
I could cover those things in my reviews, but I don't want to because the advice would have no meaning after just a week or two. Sometimes a cellular model isn't available at all with one carrier and then 2 weeks later it is. And a lot of my viewers are from international markets and they may have more or less cellular models available.
And typically, in most cases, normally cellular performance is pretty identical between phones nowadays. Sure there are some issues every now and again. But for the most part, people have a consistent experience across all devices anyway. So it's not something that a lot of people want to waste time talking about in reviews.
Sadly, that does leave people like you without a lot of information. And I do think that stinks. I don't have a lot of info on what you're looking for. But it sinks that you're having problems
@@AndroidDigest Thanks for answering my question. I can certainly see that a review would not have a very far reaching or meaningful impact for most consumers based on one component that makes this tablet different from the S9 FE WIFi. You got to the heart of what my question was about. Very well communicated .
I should clarify though, the 5G connectivity on my tablet works as well as any cell phone when it comes to data. It is the tablets ability to be used in place of my phone if I did not have my phone with me or need to switch between my phone and tablet during a call, etc... that has issues. This table has the functionality to work as a phone, and the way in which that technology is employed, is different amongst the different carriers. ATT uses their technology , called Number Sync , in order to use a customer's current phone's number to provide the tablet it's number. It's basically nothing more than a forwarded call. The tab , however does have the capability of having its own fully functional 5G LTE line with the ability to make and receive phone calls, texts, voicemail, and it has its own dialer app . Thanks again @androidDigest for taking time to respond. Keep doing what you do.
It won't be long before you have a huge following your content is fantastic. Samsung has a really good Trade In program I got a s9FE for 117.00
Thank you so much. That seriously means a ton. And that's an insane deal!
I got mine for $99 USD, thanks to the $300 USD trade-in discount at the time and the $50 USD Samsung Early Black Friday discount. It arrived at my doorstep on the day before Thanksgiving 2023. Six months later, I'm still enjoying my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE.
Wow, that's an awesome deal here it's way overpriced @ZacharyNoah
Hey guy! great review. im also also still rockin the Tab S2. this is an amoled screen. I only need to upgrade cos the battery is not lasting well. Do you think that the TFT LCD screen on the Tab S9 FE would be as good as the AMOLED on the old Tab S2 or would i have to go with Tab S9 with DYNAMIC AMOLED screen to match the quality of the old Tab S2 for basic youtube and web viewing and some HD content???? any ideas would be appreciated
Let me keep it 100% real with you. It will be close, but I think the Tab S2 will beat it out. I'm going purely off memory here, but I've went back a couple of years later to a tablet like the S3 and I was shocked at how good the screens were back then. I might be way off, but I think it could be equivalent, but chances are the S2 will be slightly better. I think this will still look very good for web viewing and hd content, and I know the performance should be a nice improvement for you. Just remember you're going from the flagship tablet years ago to a mid-ranger years later, a different ball game. But yeah, check out Best Buy open box deals if you want to get the S9 a little cheaper (if you use my link to get to Best Buy, even if you search for another item, I still get a little affiliate commission). Still, I think it's a toss up. The good news with Best Buy is they will return without restocking fees, same for Samsung, so if you buy and decide you would prefer the S9 instead of the FE, you could always do that later, so there's not a huge risk with buying the S9 FE and testing it out. To see if you would like it, so maybe that will save some $$. Hope this helps.
@@AndroidDigest you are a champion in helping. Your answer is very helpful, and thanks for taking the time to assess and respond to my individual need. Keep up the good work, its much appreciated
I bought this tab last month and it's been amazing!!! i was going to be dissapointed at 90hz and lcd coming from galaxy m54 with 120 hz amoled but honestly tab has been better than my phone and laptop! btw just as you confirmed my request(you said that 1440p and even 4k is supported in this tab) my internet did get better to be able to play 1440p videos though with some loading circles but atleast nice to know that it is supported but one question still remanins that is how is 4k supported? my internet isn't capable of 4k loading so idk but you said even 4k is supported which doesnt make sense cuz it physically only has 1440p resolution so how 4k is possible? OVERALL LOVE THIS TAB
It's sort of an upscaling thing. Just like some people will shoot videos in 4k. Then bring them down to 1080p. It may look better then a video shot in 1080p. In this case you are streaming 4k video onto a non 4k display. It will only physically show up as good as the tablet can do. But a 4k video to a 1080p tablet looks better than just a 1080p video on a 1080p tablet if that makes sense. Even though it's not a crazy difference
@AndroidDigest ahh ok I get the point. Thanks!
Just here to say i like your stuff. Realistic reviews for real people. I hope this helps with your income.
Thank you so much. It means the world. That's exactly what I'm trying to go for. And I just try to give some realistic advice as far as what competition is out there, and what price to look to buy it at. I'm trying to help normal people. So this means a lot. Thank you so much
😂 I'm still rockin' the Tab S2. The only games I play on it are: WGT Golf, Candy Crush & a bit of Pinochle.
Nothing wrong with that! Luckily, if you get a newer tablet you will stay updated for a while with their new update policy
I love this tablet and got it a week ago, i did tweaked it a bit, if you want a little better processing power, turn off the Ram Plus in the memory settings, you really only need that if you play heavy games, i dont so i turn that off to stop the tablet from using the hard drive as ram which just slows the whole system down. 6 gigs is enough for me.
i did some other hacks but turning off the ram PLUS is a safe easy one.
Yeah I think turning off ram plus can help
@@AndroidDigest yeah it does, I don't know what's up with these systems with using extra RAM. Just like Windows it will start using it right away regardless how much free physical ram you have doing 2 unwanted things:
Slow system down, and wear down your hardrive faster and since you can't replace your hard drive on tablet, might as well turn it off to make it last as long as possible.
People who are hardcore gamers should just buy the fe plus or the s9 with the ram plus shut off.
Hey there! I'm a 1st year college student majoring in economics and seeing that you have bought this tablet has urged me to ask a question.
I've recently realised that a tablet may come in handy for me. I already have a laptop but I'd like to have a tablet for making notes, and the amount of paper it'll save is an added bonus!
I am used to the samsung ecosystem as a lot of my electronics are of that company, so I've been looking at this tablet as well as the s9 fe+. However, the fe plus happens to be costlier than the regular fe, and im confused as to whether spending more money would be worth the bigger screen. Buying the s9 fe would definitely be a lesser burden on my wallet.
What I want to ask you is, do you find the screen size of the s9 fe to be adequately large in order to take notes or binge watch web content on? Also, is there a reason you didn't go for the fe plus besides a possible budget constraint?
I have big hands I think it's perfect because it's big enough to feel big while small enough to hold in one hand.
@@GXSCChater great! Thanks for replying.
Hi, can you also use it as a portable monitor? Was thinking of connecting it to my laptop as a wireless display to use it as a second monitor when im out. Hope you can respond. Thanks!
Yes. It's wireless but yes it can use the second screen feature. Just can't wire in
Sorry if you already answered to this question, but i couldnt find it. Is it good enough for video edit 2/4k? Cause i tried to play 4k yt video in the store and it was struggling
Not really. I used the S9 FE Plus to edit 4k video in Luma Fusion, first off, I made proxies, secondly, I didn't have a lot of issues on shorter videos. Or videos with 1 track. But 10+ minutes of 3 tracks led to some restarts and other issues.
If you make proxies shorter videos are fine. Luma Fusion did reach out to me and say things improved, I submitted reports to them to fix things, so maybe it's improved. But with this type of power I'd only expect it to return with proxies and for shorter 2k or 4k videos. Playing 4k TH-cam videos shouldn't be much power, that's probably more of an internet thing I'm guessing
got it second hand, with only tab price got extra the keyboard... this tablet has become my go to when doing business trips so I can leave my laptop at home... good battery life, easy to use and great quality... really good value tablet
I agree. It's been a great value for me

Thanks so much
@@AndroidDigestYou bet!
Great video. 'Downgraded' from a Tab S7 but happy, got an open box. Keep videos coming please...
Yeah, a little less performance. But I'm guessing you'll get better battery life, and a newer device with more updates. A lot more updates. Actually. I think the S7 was out of updates all together.
My S7 was on April'24 security, with last bulletin expected this summer (released summer '20).
Faster storage is missed, screen not yet as haven't played HDR movies, so far good with YT. Qualcomm 865 was very efficient, tablet lasted for days, until year 3. Same with this Exynos, maybe less power-hungry but also less efficient so it cancels out, no complaints.
My S7 developed a defect with Play system updates, couldn't install a patch and tried every time on boot. Had to reluctantly trade it in, it was a stellar tablet
I got S9 FE plus for under 350$ through Flipkart and I'm satisfied with my purchase, just a little worried about the replacement nibs for s-pen. I heard that it won't lasts long if you're really into taking digital notes.
Yeah, I can't speak to that, haven't taken long enough notes over time with an s pen. You can buy some replacements online from various places though, with the nibs, so hopefully it's not too bad for you.
Any updates on the nib?( BTW I got a s9plus and when I asked samsung about nib cost they said that it's 250-300 rupees for a pair of nibs)
Though mine are holding up well as I got this on 25th may
This tablet is actually good, there are many useful features and the quality is very good and my tablet (S9 FE) it also came with a pen and i loved it so much, and from my side there is nothing wrong about the tablet. ❤
Awesome. Glad you're enjoying it!
Hi! I have problems with youtube, it does not allow me to watch 2160p videos with hdr or without hdr, automatically the application lowers the resolution to 480p as maximum resolution. There are forums that indicate this same problem.
There could be a software bug. I will say. If an internet connection is struggling to keep up, it may lower the resolution automatically. I would check for updates on that TH-cam app and stay peeled over the next few weeks. If it's just giving you problems at that resolution. I also wouldn't be too worried. Remember the screen itself can't even display 4K. It's not a 4K display. It might be ever so slightly better quality because you are streaming 4K on a 1080p screen, it's sort of like an upscaling effect, but it might not even be worth all the extra bandwidth that it takes to do that anyway. But I get that if you want to do it anyway, you will want to do it. And that's completely understandable. If you want the best experience possible, that's one way to do it and hopefully they do update the app.
On a side note, I get really annoyed in general with the TH-cam app, because even if I tell it to save the best resolution, it always starts off my videos on bad resolutions. And I always have to adjust every video manually which is annoying
"Yay,I'm happy" android digest 2024
Thanks so much
I am back and forth on this and a used s7 the nice thing about the s7 is it connects to my tmobile.. Think a s7 will work for a few years solidly?
You can get any of the galaxy Tab with cellular connectivity. If you got one without it's your fault for not specifying.
Definitely don't get the S7. First off, if you buy it, you're looking at a device that may have a 2 year old battery, assuming it's used. Secondly, The S7 had worse software update support, I think it's out of software updates in fact! No more big OS updates I believe. They upped their updates with the S8 line, and then even more later. Also, the S7 isn't OLED either, so you won't gain much going backwards.
I'd recommend this, and you can find one that work with t-mobile, looked for an unlocked version if you search online, or a cellular model.
I got the 256gb version for 300usd NEW from samsung and it comes with free galaxy buds FE and an extra 25w samsung charger, i think i can sell my s7 FE and the buds for that easily lmfao free upgrade.😊
That's a crazy good deal. Even if you sell your S7 FE for $100 or $150. You're paying $150 for a way way better tablet and buds AND consider that unlike the s7 FE, this will get 4 years of OS updates. I believe it's 4 years, and I think it's 5 years security updates too. That's major.
I am very jealous of the android deals you get offered in the US in order to convince you guys to come over from apple. In Germany you never get for example comparable trade in discounts etc. since android and samsung are very common over here.
@@LuggageChestHead im from Mexico, and yeah we usually don't get this kind of crazy deals you get in the US except for samsung, that's the only brand we get crazy good discounts and gifts through they official store
Is there any heating issue in long time note taking and watching videos pls reply
I haven't had any type of overheating issues. And I used it pretty extensively. I used it for a lot of things and didn't experience any overheating
Got it for around 24000 INR approximately equal to 280-300 USD from amazon India.
That's definitely a great price
I'm here for it... 😄
Thank you! Tab S8 Ultra update coming, then the Lenovo M11. I'm going to throw in a few phone reviews though so it doesn't get too stale
@@AndroidDigest Wonderful. You do what you like, videos are nice!
Do you think Google's tablet is worth for an average user with light to medium games? Is Pixel a good one?
bought in the UK for £389 from John Lewis (mainly because I had £150 of gift cards sitting around). Good video! Primarily going to use it for taking work notes (OneNote) in meetings and using Whiteboard in Teams when presenting, so not looking for anything super expensive. Low latency stylus & note taking experience were the main things I was interested in and have a Samsung phone, so slightly biased towards Samsung lol :)
The perfect buyer for this. That's a reasonable price too. This should be a great tablet for you.
Can you please compare this Tab S9 FE vs Tab S8 base model and see the diference in display quality?
I'd personally say it's pretty similar. Just from my experience I don't notice a huge difference, outside of 120hz on that S8 vs 90hz here
Slayyy with this Tab S9 FE! Screen's fire for vids, S Pen lets me draw like a pro, and the battery's endless. Plus, comfy hold like a champ. Downside? Back's a fingerprint magnet and scratches easy. Fixed that with a TPU body & screen film from gadgetshieldz tho! Grippy, fingerprint-proof, and protected all around without the bulk. #WorthIt
Thanks for sharing. I agree
I can't decide if I should buy it now, but it's gonna be wifi only or buy through my phone company and get with a 5g ?
It's up to you, remember if you buy it through a company you will have to pay service charges every month. The way I personally look at it: it takes 5 seconds to turn on the hotspot from my phone, why pay $10 or $20 a month to have service, which can add up to hundreds each year, when I can just flip on the hotspot on my phone and connect it that way. It takes literally 30 seconds and it automatically connects once you do it once.
Do I have to buy a portable hotspot?
Is the pen working fine or laggy a bit cause ive seen some other tablets that comes with a pen and it tends to laggggg alottt
I think the refresh rate plays a role, some tablets have a 60hz refresh rate. This has a 90hz refresh rate and some devices like the regular s9 have a 120hz one. Also the tablet speed can okay a role on slower devices. In this case, I don't think it lags much at all. Obviously everyone will have different opinions but I think it's very very responsive
no regret buying the 128gb variant!
I have the S9 FE tablet with 5G and am a bit disappointed. With minimal use it suddenly doesn't want to turn on. I did a hard reset and it worked for a day and then it played dead again. I still have three months warranty on it so hopefully Samsung will fix and return it quickly. The tablet is great to have. The most disturbing things happening is that some apps will not work with the new updates anymore and it's showing "not compatible". This is also happening on the S9 Ultra tablet and the S8 Plus with 5G.
Yeah that's strange. Definitely a warranty issue because this isn't normal. At least the part with it being dead.
@@AndroidDigest Samsung just called and said it's unrepairable and to replace the part it'll take some time so they're refunding me instead. I still have other tablets (S8+ 5G & S9 Ultra non 5G). I just gotten an iPad Mini 6 5G on sale during Father's day which was $100 off and BTW I have an iPad 11 Pro w/ 5G also. I'm a bit disappointed with Samsung because I did love the FE's screen but for it to die and unrepairable is surprising. Oh well.
What's Samsung Dex like?
1. Hi, can I connect wired keyboard and wired mouse to Samsung TABLET S9 FE
using USB C to multiple USB 3.0 adapters?
2. Does Samsung TAB S9 FE supports HDMI Output like USB C to HDMI
to connect to external monitor or TV?
Number 2 is no. I believe number 1 is yes. But didn't specifically test to make 100% sure yet.
I got mine for 321.50 USD with free Buds FE
That's a crazy good deal
I got mine for 290 USD in Türkiye but i have a problem, my s9fe tab is crashing and rebooting. I went to service but they said its probably software issue and they uploaded again the software but after one week it happened again. Now i will give it back..and i will ask for new tab
For sure. That's definitely not normal. If it happens again on a completely different tablet, it could be because of some app or something on the tablet. But I've had multiple S9 Fe models and I haven't had that issue on any of them
Maybe try to turn off auto restart in Setting>battery optimization?!
@@Dr.Akakia its closed state already
We had deals in India , fe plus for 290 usd, s9 for 480 dollars and s9 plus for 640 usd
Those are definitely really good deals
The only thing I miss is no hdmi output or usb connectivity to draw on a computer.
Yeah that is a bummer!
I recently switched from my iphone 14 pro max to a sasmung a55 and I am blown away by the value you get here for your money. Now I am thinking about switching from my old 2015 ipad pro 12.9 to a s9 fe (+). I think apple has lost me...
I think you should enjoy it. It's definitely a nice tablet. You just have to get used to the different quirks with a different operating system
ive had it for four months i think its really good,it does all the things i want.but i just wish they have stronger chip for better gaming experience.
Right. I'm with you. It feels fast enough for most of my needs but it could be better for gaming, and it could be a tad quicker
For the same price you can search for a second hand Tab S7 with snap 865+, it performs better
My own ~6 months review of the S9 Plus is that I'm barely touching it. When I'm touching it for maybe 5 minutes I appreciate that it's a sleek device, and then I put it down and forget about it for months. And for that it's way too expensive. Android as an OS is very limiting, I think, preventing me from using it for laptop-like features, so it ends up being a very large phone.
Also, if you carry it with the keyboard case then it's 1.2 kg, which is heavier/larger than a really thin & light laptop like an LG Gram.
I get that. I think tablets are really great for those people who use their phone on the couch. It's such a small screen. Scrolling on a larger tablet, watching videos, it's a big deal to have that extra real estate.
It also can help with productivity. I think most people get productive through Google's drive, documents, things you can do on a tablet, bringing up banking apps, budgeting. Taking notes. It's not for everyone. Not everyone is a tablet person. But for those who like tablets, entertainment can be better on a tablet and it can help with productivity.
I brought it for 280 dollars today , In India. Is it a good deal or I should cancel it
I think it's a tremendous deal
Got the poverty model for 255€ brand new with 2yr warranty, i’m pretty sure it was a great deal. 😅
Enjoy it!
This or Pixel Tablet? Thanks
That's a little bit of a personal decision for sure. And it really depends on if you're getting the speaker dock with it. Let's just say for a minute that you're not. And let's just say they're the same exact price. The pixel tablet is faster by a small margin. The Samsung tablet has the stylus that comes with it. The screen quality will be fairly similar. But you will get a better refresh rate on the Samsung. And battery. Life will be just a little bit better on the Samsung. As far as software, Samsung has Samsung Dex and that is a nice bonus, you don't get that on the pixel tablet. So I would lean ever so slightly towards the Samsung if they were the same exact price. But there are plenty of things that could point you towards the pixel. For example, some people really prefer pixel software. I'm one of those people. Also, if you do find it for the same price and if you are getting the speaker dock, that is a huge thing. Because you can put your tablet on it in your kitchen, and you could set it up to have your Google photos albums going, it's basically like a picture frame for your family. You can set it to only roll certain photos from a photo album that's a family one too. And obviously if you want to watch some content you can Chromecast things to it from your phone and the speaker dock is pretty loud. So if it was the same price with the dock, I would personally lean towards the pixel. However, it's so darn close because some people might prefer the stylus. And if you prefer the stylus over the dock, then I would go with Samsung. The other thing is sales. If you find one of these devices for $50 or $100 cheaper that would definitely sway things too. So I think the big thing you have to look at, is if the speaker dock is coming with it, and if it is, what are the prices you're seeing? Hopefully this helps
Please review honor pad 9
I probably should review that at some point. I have viewers from all around the world, but I often focus on the US market where Honor isnt' sold. Still, I should consider it. I only do one review a week though and I've got the docket full the next month, but maybe one of these days.
Which is better Xiaomi pad 6 or tab s9 fe?
Xiaomi has the specs. No doubt. A better refresh rate, a better processor. But the Tab S9 FE has an spen though, samsung dex, and some other perks, I'd say they are better with software generally. So it's a preference, but overall I lean towards Xiaomi, but in the US I lean towards samsung due to warranty issues, since you can't buy Xiaomi here unless it's on amazon or ebay or something.
Sadly in my region it's around 500$ so looking at mi pad 6. I don't need stylus that much
Nothing wrong with that.
I use my tab s9 to roll up on and use the s pin to pack my woods 😂
I don't know what that means 😂
Does genshin impact work well on it ?
Just not something I was able to test. But hopefully some people can share in the comments what they think
pause and go to 12:14 what is wrong with bro's finger
Haha. Born with fingers that don't go straight
Can this tablet run genshin impact?
I'd expect yes but lower settings. But hopefully someone can test it officially for you
The battery sucks + the processor + ram
The battery life was pretty decent for me. It definitely might not be for you. But I think most people won't have any problems at all. You could watch in the video for yourself, it feels pretty fast to me for pretty much everything. And I'm a flagship phone user myself. There's a lot of mid-range users who are going to think this feels pretty powerful. And even though it's slightly slower than a couple of tablets in its price range, it has a lot of other perks that other tablets don't have. It's not for everyone, which is why I mentioned all the cons. And that's why I completely get your comment. But I still think it's good for a lot of people
@AndroidDigest I bought it, and I'm using it. The battery doesn't make a full day with me, and it charges so slowly; it takes two hours and a half. My version has the 6 gb ram instead of the 8. What about yours ? And what do you think about Ram Plus? I turned it off, and my tablet is still slow. What should i do ?
@@sowonkunfor the charging problem..try using the official fast charger of samsung. I have the fe plus model which has around 10000 mAh and it takes about 50 mins to 1hour fora full charge.
@@AnonymousKnight-ve3op you mean the brick ? Cause i only have the cable that came with the box
@@sowonkun yeah the brick. I think that device supports 45 watt charging. Get the samsung combo which has both the brick and 5A cable and you will be good to go.
wifi keeps disconnecting!!! do not buy this.
You may just have a dud. I don't think that's a typical problem. I've had like 3 of these so far with no wifi issues. (I had major wifi issues with the Galaxy Tab S5e, apparently with like 10 units. I tested units at best buy, several used units, had all the same problems, so I will call it if I see it, but it looks like this may just be a dud for you, either that or a router issue)
Get tab S8 plus much better then this one
I get why you'd say that. But there are reasons to still get the S9 FE. Some people may have to get the S8 Plus used. Or pay more. I've seen the S9 FE as low as $350, and even lower open box, with water resistance and some other small perks over the S8 Plus or S8. BUT if you find them for the same price, same condition, I would 10000% pick the Plus, an OLED screen, better performance, that's a big deal. And a better refresh rate. And an s-pen with more features. But there are some reasons to go for the S9 FE for some people. Especially with how crazy and weird "new" units will be as far as prices on the S8 and S8 Plus, at times it may cost $200 or more new vs the S9 FE. So again there are pros and cons. But generally speaking I do agree, the S8 Plus is better
Okay fine I’ll subscribe 🫡
Haha hey that's awesome. Thank you. Unlike most TH-camrs, I don't actually talk about it during the video. Normally I barely even mention it at the end too. So I appreciate it
1. Hi, can I connect wired keyboard and wired mouse to Samsung TABLET S9 FE
using USB C to multiple USB 3.0 adapters?
2. Does Samsung TAB S9 FE supports HDMI Output like USB C to HDMI
to connect to external monitor or TV?
Number 2 is no. I believe number 1 is yes. But didn't specifically test to make 100% sure yet.
