I really love your reviews. You seem like a really intelligent guy and are very perceptive, and you really get to the issues that do matter when comparing these tablets. It's a real pleasure to listen to your reviews here on TH-cam. Thank you!
Hi, I want a tablet for notes, watching videos and reading PDF files, so mainly for study purposes. I don't care about camera at all. I also don't play games, maybe sometimes simple puzzle games. I also want it to last as long as possible. I will use it at home only. What do you recommend ? Do you think the FE will be good enough for me?
@Maria-nn7og depends on what you want to do on it. I prefer 120 hz, oled screen and the extra power. It really just depends on the person and what they want.
I love my tab s9 fe ❤❤❤ watched your videos too see if I should upgrade from my tab s6 lite. So n glad I did. I use my tab s9fe for my writing when I don't have my laptop. And I use it for watching TH-cam and other shows. ❤❤❤ thank you.
@ZeeZeeOni it's pretty good, I love it. But I take pics more on my galaxy S23 more than my tablet. But it's really good. Compared to my old tab S6 lite
@@AnneMarie-kay the reason I need a tab is for school (taking notes, reading ang zoom). Most importantly, i watch lots of movies so the screen is very important to me
@@ZeeZeeOni I highly recommend this tablet then. It's amazing, I have been using it now for a week & I love it. I use Google docs on your tab 9 fe for writing my novel when I'm in bed and not wanting to be on my laptop.
I recommend for future videos that you specify IPS LCD, Mini LED LCD, VA LCD, TFT LCD, TN LCD, etc because otherwise most people who don't know any better will think that IPS and LCD are two completely different things. Details matter and it's important to educate consumers.
Can you please tell whether fe has tft lcd or IPS lcd? Does it have any black crush issues and how do night or dark movie scenes look on this tab s9 fe? Along with note taking and reading, I was considering it for media consumption and binge watching but the screen should be lcd as amoled gives me headache and vision problems.
Hiii, I can't decide between the s9 or s9fe, I'll mainly use it for school work (notetaking, reading, downloading books) and media consumption. I kinda want it to replace a laptop. What would you recommend?
Just got on July 6th S9FE and loving it. Have the keyboard. Loud. I live with others in a condo. Love it gives less blue radiation then Amolet display. All I need is 90 Hz. On my galaxy S23 I always have it on 60 Hz refresh rate most of the time.
Thank you so much for making this video. I really appreciate it. The only thing that keeps me from buying the regular S 9 tablet is I cannot put a data plan on it so for that reason, I will not get it. I’m so disappointed that Samsung will not make a smaller tablet that I can put data plan on it. Hope you have a wonderful day. And thank you for making the videos.
S9 FE price is more affordable but this round i think i will get S9 instead. FE is nice now not until it starts to feel laggy because that's what I am experiencing on the S6 lite right now.
Hi, I want a tab to take notes in class and see videos, could the tab 9 FE be a good option or for the difference of prices, should I try to buy the tab 9?
Heyy, thanks for the great review! Im considering between the S9FE+ or the S9, I can get a great deal on both (S9FE+ for €489 and S9 for €640). I would need the tablet for light photo editing, media consumption, writing/reading, drawing, but in the longterm maybe as laptop replacement for uni as my laptop is getting older too. And I was wondering if the samsung s9FE+ is fine or that for a 140e difference I can better go with the S9?
Great review! I just have some questions regarding the USB-C 2.0 on Galaxy Tab S9 FE, I'm well aware that you can't push out external display to an external monitor or such, but can you still use it with an additional (third-party) dongle USB-C for adding OTG Wireless mouse, keyboard, or memory/SD Card reader, etc in Tab S9 FE? Because I haven't seen a review for that and I'm still in the process of choosing which should I buy.... thanks a lot!
I Want to replace my tab s6 lite due to lag... I will mainly use it for my work ( google drive, note taking, pdf ) and media and reading, so no gaming. Would you recommend a tab S9FE or tab s9. My main concern is I want no lag. i'll appreciate any reply
Yes I would recommend the Tab S9FE. Keep in mind however that if you're dealing with extremely heavy files from your Google drive, you mind still encounter some lag, to avoid all of that, you can always consider the flagship one if your budget permits
Hello, I'm new to the channel but I would like to ask a question, my specification for a tablet is to be able to work with something like Photoshop and photo manipulation, what would be the best tab? Tab s9, Tab s9 FE, Tab s9 FE+? Thanks in advance for your attention
Anyone has experience using insta360 app on the s9 FE? Should i get the S9 to edit with the insta360 app or would the s9 FE work? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Hi , did you ever get any feedback on using the tab S9 Fe with insta360 for watching n processing action cam footage? That's exactly what I want to use one for. Had gathered that an A9 tablet may be too slow to run 4k video clips, so wanted a cheapish tablet to review insta360 action cam footage..🤔
Hi I plan on getting a tablet mainly for studying but also some light gaming and definitely for presentations. Can the fe still project via wireless display? and also which is best for me? Thank you!
Hey Ivan, how much is the difference between s9+(quad) + vs s9 fe+ (dual) speakers quality ? Is S9 fe + dual speakers good enough for multimedia consumption?
Great review as always! 1 - Can you confirm the colour range sRGB between those two tablets? 2 - Regarding the performance from 6gb ram to 8gb ram, is it very noticeable just by navigating the OS? I imagine this is more relevant during split screen and Dex mode. Thanks for your very informative videos!
Thanks. Yea wanted to keep the video as specs”less” as possible. I source that I personally know tested and found the S9 well over 110% sRGB of the gamut, in natural mode and just about 100% coverage on the S9FE. As far as RAM, light/medium level of work of daily usage, not much to notice, but most definitely noticeable when you go heavy
I had a Tablet for some months back in 2018 but realised I was way too used to a laptop, so I gave it away. These days, I thought of how I am not using the laptop anymore because it is too chunky and I prefer using my phone to check things. However, my s9e phone is not big enough for certain things. All of this brought me to the idea that a tablet my help. For the heavy work and if I have mails to write I will use the laptop but for everything else I wonder if it would be better to use a tablet. Things like Excell, TH-cam, one or two house drawing programs. So I wonder if the S9 is not an overkill for what I need? On the otherside the better it is the more you have but again I am not an artist.... questions...decisions...
I have samsung galaxy tab A6 10.1 with s pen from 2016,For the last 8 years I have been using it.I use it to watch movies,TH-cam videos,movie downloading and studying. Still it has strong battery life even with heavy usage , it's battery usually last for 2 or 3days with single charge..Although I want to change into a modern device like s9fe or s9 I scared that their battery will not last for a day with such a heavy usage.😂 I know now my old device is an antic and out of fashion,so I want to buy a newone also😂😂but same time don't want to charge a new device 7 or 8 hourly per a day..
Both of these tablets are on sale now, $400 for the S9 FE and $750 for the S9 (CAD pricing). Here are the main differences between the two... Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 vs S9 FE * Improved display, Dynamic AMOLED 2x (vs IPS LCD) * Faster display response time (2 ms vs 27 ms) * Higher display refresh rate (120 Hz vs 90 Hz) * 10% higher display pixel density (274 vs 249 PPI) * GPU Performance, 4.6x faster (3DMark Benchmark) * CPU Performance, 2.2x faster (AnTuTu Benchmark) * Overall Performance, 2.8x faster (AnTuTu Benchmark Score) * Larger battery capacity (8400 vs 8000 mAh) * 33% more Ram and 2x clock speed (8GB vs 6GB) * Faster storage type (UFS 4.0 vs UFS 2.2) * Improved main camera (13 MP vs 8 MP) that can also record 4K video @ 30 fps or 1080p@60 fps (vs 30 fps) * Improved selfie camera recording (4K vs 1080p) * USB Type C v3.2 supports video output (vs USB Type C v2) * Additional speakers (four vs two on S9 FE) Personally I feel the S9 is worth the additional $380 (sale prices) and the much improved display, speed and performance justify the increased price.
Thanks!

I also want it to last as long as possible. I will use it at home only. What do you recommend ? Do you think the FE will be good enough for me?
Yes 100 percent as long as your not doing anything that demands a lit of performance like video editing
The s9 fe also has a very nice screen so it will be more than good for watching movies or videos
@Maria-nn7og depends on what you want to do on it. I prefer 120 hz, oled screen and the extra power. It really just depends on the person and what they want.
Fe is for digital artist and architecture, engineering works
Recomiendas la s9 fe?
Yo estudio arquitectura
But the FE got an LCD
No fe is for poor people😂
@@dudebro755 Nah poor people would choose the Xiaomi Pad. The FE is perfect for students.
Thanks, I am an architecture student and was wondering which one would be better for that lol
I love my tab s9 fe ❤❤❤ watched your videos too see if I should upgrade from my tab s6 lite. So n glad I did. I use my tab s9fe for my writing when I don't have my laptop. And I use it for watching TH-cam and other shows. ❤❤❤ thank you.
🔥🔥awesome!!
So glad you’re enjoying it!

i wish i could buy the s9 but with the flickering pwm i cant. But with black friday i am going for the s9 fe following your youtube reviews. ty Ivan!
I just got one and I love it
Hiii, I can't decide between the s9 or s9fe, I'll mainly use it for school work (notetaking, reading, downloading books) and media consumption. I kinda want it to replace a laptop. What would you recommend?
hi did you make the decision yet? I have same question😂😂
Probably FE since it's half the price and all you do doesn't require too much processing power
so... can i use the samsung tab s9 cover for samsung tab s9 fe too ?
Yes
Has the S9 FE taken the place of your beloved S6 Lite.?
Hahahah
Almost…the one thing keeping it away from it is the price😅
Just got on July 6th S9FE and loving it. Have the keyboard. Loud. I live with others in a condo. Love it gives less blue radiation then Amolet display. All I need is 90 Hz. On my galaxy S23 I always have it on 60 Hz refresh rate most of the time.
I regrett buying the s9 fe compared to the s9
Why? What did you not find in FE? Why is your experience not good?
Thank you so much for making this video. I really appreciate it. The only thing that keeps me from buying the regular S 9 tablet is I cannot put a data plan on it so for that reason, I will not get it. I’m so disappointed that Samsung will not make a smaller tablet that I can put data plan on it. Hope you have a wonderful day. And thank you for making the videos.
I have a galaxy tab s6 lite it’s very slow now will there be a big difference if I get the s9 fe?
Great review

Go for the Tab S9!
That 140e extra will make a huge difference; wayyy better performance, will last longer, and so much more…
How would u get the S9 Fe+ for only 489€???
Great review!

I wasn't able to view/transfer using the dongle that I have here. The mouse and keyboard you def get those working using bluetooth
which tablet should i go for the price difference is about 100$ in the S9 or the S9 FE
Wow first comment and nice review!

How to connect the watch 4 to s9 fe plus?
which is best for note taking only ? Samsung Tab S9 or Samsung Tab S9 FE Plus ?
Fe
I want to create innovative lecture and record them.. Should i use tab s9 or s9 fe
S9fe supports 45w but can i use higher W chargers? Specifically those meant for laptop?
are you trying to play god lol
@@increditoaster ?
I would not advise - although, they do have mechanism to prevent you from killing your tablet when you use higher than recommended wattage
In my country Samsung states that it is TFT.
u make the tabs look like phones llol great video btw

The S9 would be great for it - you might end up needing the power more than you think.
I have samsung galaxy tab A6 10.1 with s pen from 2016,For the last 8 years I have been using it.I use it to watch movies,TH-cam videos,movie downloading and studying. Still it has strong battery life even with heavy usage , it's battery usually last for 2 or 3days with single charge..Although I want to change into a modern device like s9fe or s9 I scared that their battery will not last for a day with such a heavy usage.😂
I know now my old device is an antic and out of fashion,so I want to buy a newone also😂😂but same time don't want to charge a new device 7 or 8 hourly per a day..
😂 they gave the quad speakers to the tab A9 plus but not to the more expensive FE.
Both of these tablets are on sale now, $400 for the S9 FE and $750 for the S9 (CAD pricing). Here are the main differences between the two...
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 vs S9 FE
* Improved display, Dynamic AMOLED 2x

* Faster display response time
(2 ms vs 27 ms)
* Higher display refresh rate
(120 Hz vs 90 Hz)
* 10% higher display pixel density
(274 vs 249 PPI)
* GPU Performance, 4.6x faster
(3DMark Benchmark)
* CPU Performance, 2.2x faster
(AnTuTu Benchmark)
* Overall Performance, 2.8x faster
(AnTuTu Benchmark Score)
* Larger battery capacity
(8400 vs 8000 mAh)
* 33% more Ram and 2x clock speed
(8GB vs 6GB)
* Faster storage type
(UFS 4.0 vs UFS 2.2)
* Improved main camera
(13 MP vs 8 MP) that can also record 4K video @ 30 fps or 1080p@60 fps (vs 30 fps)
* Improved selfie camera recording
(4K vs 1080p)
* USB Type C v3.2 supports video output
(vs USB Type C v2)
* Additional speakers
(four vs two on S9 FE)
Personally I feel the S9 is worth the additional $380 (sale prices) and the much improved display, speed and performance justify the increased price.
SAMSUNG s6 lite 2022 vs s9 fe ??? please :)
Bravo and merci 👍
Whats the Storage on these UFS 3 or 4.0 ❓️
Whats the Storage on Tab S8 Plus have ?
Nice tap 🤗
Hopeless review. U shoud have rather just uploaded the specs sheet comparison.
