@@samuelordonezrodriguez3411 depends on your game tbh, I'm pretty sure you can't run genshin impact on high here but for multitasking, I'm not feeling the extreme lag or sluggishness like everyone was saying, just it isn't as fluid as an ipad for sure when you switch from one app to another and I'm pretty sure that's mostly apps optimization issue.

@samuelordonezrodriguez3411 depends on how hard you wanna game. Higher settings isn't gonna be a good experience. But basic apps on the playstore run fine
I've been using this tablet for almost a year now and this is the best tablet that I've ever had. I am a college student who studies with PDFs so much, it is so comfortable with the pen and the Samsung notes app. I also play some games and watch some media.
Very happy you decided to leave this comment! I am often convinced I need as performant hardware as possible, but my use-case is definitely mostly PDFs and note-taking, and from what I can tell, the price jump of the S9 over the S9 FE is not worth it
@@sebastianprehn Well I'm glad it worked out for you, I had a small budget so even S9FE+ wasn't in case for me (also I think plus size is too big and heavy on daily transportation)
I have never owned a tablet. My boyfriend got this for my birthday tomorrow. for my very first tablet, i chose this one. So im very excited, i feel like it was a great pick for starters
Waiting for mine to come in. Stoked. 🎉 Avid Samsung user. Will be my first Samsung tablet though, but have used some in the past. Currently running cell S20+.
Bought the S9 FE tab a few weeks ago and I love it. Im studying premed and the note taking experience is unmatched. The Spen just really seamlessly works with the tablet. Samsung's UI and software is a major upgrade from other android brands.
yes, i can confirm, i was ex A8 tab and move to xiaomi pad 5, the are no such dex, the desktop mode are hacky and buggy, unsupported, the pen on One notes cannot be switched to eraser upon clicking button, only samsung SPen does, small things that matters to me
I finally got the Tab S9 FE+ and although I'm sad about not being able to use Dex with a monitor, the interface and ease of use really made this purchase worth it. I have been nonstop multitasking with little to no lag. Battery life lasts about 2 days averaging 8 hours a day of use. The 128gb Wifi model I got has 8gbs of RAM and it shows. If you are looking for a tablet that will get the job done for a lower cost, this is the one to get. With 3 years of additional software support this tablet is more than enough to take care of basic notes, movie watching, digital art, and recording/editing videos and so on.
I got the 8 GB version upgrading from s6 lite 2022. Multitasking and performance is phenomenal imo. Only downside is that im forced to use second screen, cause superdisplay doesnt work on it (even though it does on s6 lite).
@@xtongkat it’s an application on the play store that allows you to turn your tablet into a secondary display for your pc, and also use your s pen on it. It was really useful during Uni for me. With super display you could connect with both WiFi or wired connection, the latter is more stable.
@fevad1246 lol ok boss. With TH-cam, Netflix and second screen as my main uses, and some light browsing, 10-11 hours. When I stream anime on illegal sites, battery consumption is double that of streaming on Netflix or TH-cam for some reason. If you were to watch on samsung Internet, some sort of TV show or anime on a dodgy site constantly it would last you 5-6 hours. Dunno why this is yet, wasn't as noticeable when i had my s6 lite. Only game I've tried is GTA SA and it wasn't bad, 16% or so in 2 hours. Lmk if u want any other details.
I have it for almost 4 months now. It's amazing in terms of practicality! samsung notes alone helping me BIG time i can't even expres how practical is it. Was considering xiaomi pad 6 which boasts alot of crazy specs but absolute trash for getting the work done. design is premium,gets warm instead of hot with heavy games such as minecraft and genshin impact with pretty decent perfromance, good screen with satisfactory 90hz 1440p display and btw the LCD is underrated and i actually prefer this over amoled for revising notes(static images won't cause burn in) ,suprisingly the ram despite being 6 gb ram is much better in keeping apps open compared to my galaxy m54 8 gb ram phone .Lastly, the battery life is decent atleast getting the job done for a whole day
Been watching your videos on this tablet and was covinced to pull the plug on the FE+, gets delivered tomorrow along with some accessories. Will be flying to Sweden in November so needed something to keep me occupied whilst flying etc, and will be useful for my job-just looks the perfect fit. Looking forward to giving it it's first run tomorrow. Keep up the great work
@@AndroidDigest Had a good play around with it and love it already. It's a good weight, snappy, smooth scrolling thanks to the adaptive refresh, and just feels really nice to use. Very nice video playback as well after testing with a few tv shows on Disney+, sound was better than I expected. Very happy with the purchase. Also got the Sandisk Extreme 1TB microSD card, along with a Fintie folio protective case which fits the tab perfectly-though the magnets could be a little bit stronger. Only downside was getting JETech screen protectors-no matter how slowly and carefully I put them on, bubbles EVERYWHERE so that's money wasted. Now I just want some games for light gaming. All in all really glad I bought it.
@@fevad1246 It's been real good, been lasting throughout the day without need for recharge (use it from about 8 am through until 6-7 pm). I just give it a recharge when asleep. it's not being put through it's paces or anything-I also keep the brightness down as well and keep the videos at 1080p. I'm more than happy with it. I will say though thank god for my S24 Ultra. The wifi at work is utter trash so I just can use the WIFI via my mobile with bluetooth tethering. The big test though will be Dreamhack Stockholm, as by then I'll have games installed along with more videos/music and I'll be using it a lot more as I won't have a PC or anything. But yeah, perfectly happy with the battery life
I had the Tab S9 FE, 5G 6gb/256gb(580$)and also bought the Tab S9, WiFi 8gb/128gb, directly from Samsung with trade-in (637$)... i wanted to compare them.. one word: AMOLED! and it's much snapier than the FE! The FE is not a bad tablet, especially for 350$... but if you can, go for the S9!
it's 650 dollars where i live but i want it so bad lmao i can't bring myself to ask my parents for one so i'll just hope i can get it somehow in time for my studies
Using dollars coz you are in Usa or in Europe? If Europe you can find them for 250€ on wallapop or similar shop as new and with seals unbroken. Please, 650$ Is not worth at all. I love these series, but wait some sales.
@@LakedaimonII i'm from Morocco and yeah i dont think its worth that much but its very hard to find something not expensive here. It's unfair but yes you're right i should definitely wait to see if there are some sales. Thank you
I did think about the Tab S9 FE+ but i decided against it due to it now being able to be connected to a monitor. During the primes sales I picked up the S9+ for $1400 AUD (512Gb and 5G), usuall RRP is $1800. The S9 FE+ is $1350 AUD (256Gb and 5G). So no brainer really, I went for the S9+ and I love it. Its premium, the screen is gorgeous and the speakers are loud! I love the stylus. I use it with my Dexnor keyboard stand mainly and have it on my home office desk.
I'm considering this. But I'm hesitant to buy a tablet released in 2023 at the end of 2024, I feel it won't be supported with updates for as long as I'd like.
I traded in my dads s6 lite either the 2020 version or 2022 that he didn't want anymore. I found the galaxy tab s9 for 481 dollars before tax (12 gb of ram model) and I knew I had to get it. It was an amazing bargain and I love the tablet.
I have the (Base) Galaxy Tab S9 FE and i'm really happy with it i'm mostly use it for youtube video and for Disney+ video's (i don't use it for gaming) so it works like a champ and i'm super happy with it 😊😊
I recently bought my Tab S9 FE within the last month and I love it. However saying that, when it gets time for me to upgrade, I will go for the Tab S10 Ultra or whatever it ends up being in 2 years or so.
I think so absolutely initially I bought the tab A9 Plus 8 GB 128 version. But I needed something with just a little bit more and that seemed to satisfy me
I am watching this on my S3 tablet which I purchased ages ago. I am thinking of getting the S9. However, my S3 came with microsoft office which I found very useful. Does S9 the same way?
Can't believe it... still shaking because I just scored one for less than $80 on Ebay-- brand new item!! Waiting for shipment... Won't be snappy as the S9, but at least it's better than Galaxy Tab Active Pro that I was planning to buy. The only thing(s) I wish the FE has-- direct Headphone jack and Removable Battery. Haha!!
Im still unsure whether to go for the S9+ or S9 FE+. Here in the UK the S9+ is an absurd £1k. Black Friday is coming next month so it might be worth to wait for price drops in the S9+. The worry is longetivity when it comes to FE+: I already made the mistake of buying a budget tablet for studying and whilst its still very usable, it definitely is sluggish after almost 2 years of use.
Well every tablet gets slower after 2 years. It's just easier to notice when you're already on mid range performance. A factory reset will help. But even then. It's a tough call. You know your finances better than anyone. Buying a cheaper tablet and trading it in two years from now, that may be the way to go.. or just save up or wait for a sale. If it's a huge distance in price apart don't be afraid to save and resell and buy a better one later, one is a great value, one is premium, it's all about what you can afford. Either is great though
The quick comparison is, the Fe is a lot better on the software side. And it comes with a pen. The OnePlus pad has a slightly better screen, a slightly better refresh rate, and a decently better processor. So basically it's better hardware versus better software. It's actually a pretty close thing. I'd probably lean towards the OnePlus pad if they were the same price. But it's tough.
Thank you, how bout notetaking / studying on any of those tablets are they identical? or is the Samsung objectively better for notetaking and stylus latency- looking forward to your response
I'd say it's slightly better on Samsung, but it's subjective still. OnePlus has a better refresh rate which is good for stylus usage. But Samsung comes WITH A stylus that magnetizes to the back, so it's just more convenient, plus Samsung has better apps for notetaking and a better overall system/software, I'd lean Samsung.
How rugged is the tablet? And how well does it work with websites? Im an automotive technician and im looking for a tablet/ 2in1 computer to run things like prodemand for wiring diagrams or a wireless scan tool. Im mostly wonding about website ability and how it functions on the s9 fe or the s9fe+
I'm stuck on which version of the S9 FE+ to buy, the 8/128 or the 12/256. Is there currently any difference in performance between them? My instinct says to go for more RAM because future OS updates l surely be chunkier. Is that correct thinking? Wish we had really competitive prices here😒
As far as ram, I don't think it will help. Ram has to do with how many apps run in the background. I wouldn't expect it to help performance because 8gb of ram can handle a lot of apps already. Unless you're trying to video edit 4k or something you should be more than find with 8gb. If it's reasonably close in price, sure, extra RAM can RARELY help. But in most situations running out of RAM just means closing an older app that you opened 30 minutes ago. And normally it won't affect your usage
@@brownkudi98 Thanks. I'm really after more screen, upgrading from my first-gen note 10.1 still on kitkat😂Most use will be drawing up craft plans and reading magazines. So it looks like 8Gb will meet that brief nicely.
@@AndroidDigest Thanks. I tend to be quite focused when doing things, without zillions of browser tabs or apps open. I was just worried some humungous future Samsung update might choke performance. The price difference between the two is an unjustifiable amount, I think I'd rather spend that on an SD card. The availability here seems to be dropping too, which is a pain for pricing.
I love mine. At the moment in the UK, it's about £450, but I presume that's because Black Friday's coming up, and they want to establish that high point, but I bought mine for £369 from Curry's (the UK Best Buy) six months ago. So don't buy it yet, wait until Black Friday.
@ForniteforAdults Amazon. I just got it yesterday. Get the FE 10.9 inch and get the bundle with the galaxy FE buds (which are surprisingly good). For some reason, instead of increasing the price by $100 it actually decreases the price by almost $100. I think it's a mistake because all other tablets it increases the price. But not with the FE 10.9 inch. It's an incredible deal and I'm happy to scam Bezos/Samsung lol
@Greenfrom3 The sale is up again! I just got the same deal couldn't believe my eyes. Even the tab only option was much more expensive than the non deal price for the bundle. Im also thinking its a pricing mistake but we'll take it.
Tablets charge slower because their batteries are bigger than phones. I'm not sure how slow you're going but it is sort of normal depending on how slow
No. Not with usb c to hdmi. It can connect to things wirelessly which is a little laggier. But it can't connect to a monitor or projector. you'll need a regular s9 for that
I bought it 2 months ago, mine is 256 gb/8gb .... at 480 bucks, I'm currently with an S21Plus and of course, you're gonna notice at the beginning the difference with the screen but after a while, you get used, It's definitely a good screen, and I must say that although is a midrange tablet, its more than enough for me, and I sometimes edit videos on Cap cut, mostly 1- or 2-min reels max. and I don't have any issues, all that while using chat GPT app, and 3 more apps of productivity, Microsoft edge with 2 o 3 tabs, and no issues at all. Pushing more than that of course it's gonna lag haha but I gotta say, for me performance its not an issue... but shoot for the 256 gb/8gb if you need to be kinda productive haha

I am a medical student, and apart from note-taking, medical apps and reading...i also want to start content creation on TH-cam and Instagram.....so which one should i get Samsung S9 FE + or I pad air M2 11??? also I need a tab that will have a longer life
iPad will have more power for video editing. In your use case I'd pick an iPad. As an android guy I'd never buy one. But I've got to be real with my advice
I got it and it is capable to Play bloons td 6 at round 250+ which ist realy a Benchmark for the playing site 😂 My Phone with the Snapdragon 8g3 is better in Performance but for the price the Tab s9fe+ is realy good 😊👍 Bought IT for 570 Euro Brand new with 3 years warranty on amazon
@AliMasroor-l5b my tablet was bought yesterday, and I don't know how big my storage is since I'm not the one who bought it, so I guess I'm in trouble if it's actually 6/128 😭
@@beingamultifanisnotacrime2508lemme me completely honest u don't need high ram unless u run cod or smth on max setting also storage u won't use unless u take too much pictures or love downloading things I used my mobiles since 2020 and my storage is only at 50 gb full
Just get the A9+ if you don't need the S Pen. Performance for both is identical, the Tab S9 FE has a slightly higher clock speed but you don't really feel the difference in daily use. The slight advantage that the Tab S9 FE has is a higher PPI and refresh rate display which i think is not worth the extra $100. Unless you can get the Tab S9 FE for $250 or less.
Please reply☺️☺️ I need tablet for : Note making Studying on youtube Some Netflix content Smooth and flawless Multitasking Video calls And bit of gaming So i was wondering whether is it worth to pay more money to jump onto galaxy s9 from galaxy s9 fe just for better processor and refresh rate or should i just go for s9 fe only??
If it's only like $100 extra, sure, go for the S9. It is $100 better or $150 better pretty easily. The FE will be more than good enough for what you want, but it won't be "flawless" multitasking, and the gaming would be better on the S9, I'd say get the S9 just in case.
The best so far, I bought mine (S9 FE 5G/LTE) last October 2023. The size, software, ports, security features, SIM & e-SIM capable, Micro-SD slot & S-Pen is cool! 🔥 Caveat: I utilized this PRIMARILY for my readings, e.g. e-books (350 to 10000 pages), writings and take notes. I don't do games with this and though this is not with an Amoled screen, it's no probs sInce its HD, besides I noticed my exorbitantly price amoled Laptop when used in long durations is getting heat so much, this might be true with other gadgets. In other words, this is best for students, reviewing classes and working professionals when on field.
That's a crazy good deal at that price! I bet they may offer like $650 or more for a trade in for the S10 series too. You never know. So great to pick it up at a discount now and you can consider keeping it or trading it.
It doesn't have many ai features yet and I'm not sure it will get many of them. I will say it does have circle to search. Haven't checked in Galaxy notes though, I do need to check that!
Well that's a really great deal. In the US we'd maybe see it for $350 at the absolute lowest and it would probably be used. Maybe $400 or $450 new. $300 is a great price
Got one for free buying an s24. I sold both and had a profit of 276 euro. I used them for an s9+ in ultra sales and in the whole process i spend 0. The FE Is amazing tablet but a bit overpriced, but for less then 300€ or $ could be worth.
this is what i need help with some people say its good, and some say its not, i just ordered one today, i just want to play soe games watch yt and stream have i made a good choice
That's because everyone has different expectations. I talk about that a lot in my videos. Some people come from high-end phones and they are very disappointed. Or they buy some Chinese tablets that have really fast speed for a lower price. So they get disappointed. But if you come from a lower end phone, you will be very impressed. So everyone's expectations are different. I think the performance is good, not great. But more than good enough for what you want to do. I think it's a very good device all around. But obviously there are better tablets out there, but you'll pay more money for them too
Been using it for 3 months, worth every penny imo.
Does it lag? Im just worried the processor it has might be a little slow for multitasking or even gaming

I just ordered it on 9th for 190 usd in india 4:15 , expecting delivery on 24th, lets hope its good lol. Got it for note taking only
How & where did you get it for that much in India?
Great deal
@@COOLMAN939Try buying on Samsung shop, especially with a corporate account you can get at Rs 18200 (S9 FE 6GB)(with card discounts)

Got two for my kids this Christmas - 95$ per tablet (new with tax included) happy to hear these great words
That's a GREAT deal! Very great tablets, even for adults honestly.
@ thanks … it’s for my twins aged 7, so I think its a good ‘first’ tablet :)
Thank you for confirming my choice
Great video, just bought one. Thanks for a superb review.
I recently bought my Tab S9 FE within the last month and I love it. However saying that, when it gets time for me to upgrade, I will go for the Tab S10 Ultra or whatever it ends up being in 2 years or so.
Well the Tab S10 Ultra is dropping like next month. Maybe in a couple weeks actually. They may offer a crazy trade in deal already 🤣🤣. You never know
update: the s10 is barely worth upgrading. you can buy s9 instead
How's your battery life btw?(mention with type of usecase)
thank you from Italy!
Thank you!
Question. How often does this tablet receive updates? Especially Software? Is it about the same as a cell, and they stop after a year?
Samsung gives 4 major android updates and 5 years of security updates for their midrange products, longer for their flagship phones and tablets.
Since you can not connect with usb c or hdmi can you mirror it with a roku tv?Thankyou!
This video helped me a lot! Thank you ❤
Glad it helped!
Nice video keep up the good work
Thanks so much. Appreciate it
I love your video, thank you !
Thank you so much
that’s an actual good review and what you’re saying is pretty much on par about this tablet low power no OLED but it’s a fantastic deal
I think so absolutely initially I bought the tab A9 Plus 8 GB 128 version. But I needed something with just a little bit more and that seemed to satisfy me
Yes this is the step up and it does well!
@@AndroidDigest a little step but it might make it the big difference
How is this tablet for gaming? Nothing crazy but how does it feel with frames and frame drops?
I bought from a highstreet retailer in the uk for only £289 instead of £449. I am very happy with it and love the s pen !
Amazing deal
Could you share the retailer name please? I'm not seeing anything below £300 at the moment.
Im a content creator and need a good front facing camera, hows the front facing camera?
Does tab s9 fe has galaxy ai?
So there's no way to mirror the screen to a separate monitor using DEX?
Not supported
Thanks bro ❤ now i can buy tablet
if you guys are looking for a jump scare... 0:17 seconds there is a finger jump scare...
I am watching this on my S3 tablet which I purchased ages ago. I am thinking of getting the S9. However, my S3 came with microsoft office which I found very useful. Does S9 the same way?
I'm using mine for illustration and it's being great!
Yeah it's pretty good for that purpose!
How do you make your index fingers bend like they do. I've tried and I can't do it. All tablets are "horses for courses." You are so right there
They just do, they don't go fully straight, they've always been that way.
in india i am getting brand new samsung s9 fe in 240dollar in BIG BILLION SALE AND S 9 FE PLUS IN 300 DOLLAR .... DEFINITELY A STEAL DEAL
I bought S9fe ❤
great deal
Bought s9 fe plus for 260 dollars
How's your battery life(mention with type of usecase)
Can't believe it... still shaking because I just scored one for less than $80 on Ebay-- brand new item!! Waiting for shipment...
Won't be snappy as the S9, but at least it's better than Galaxy Tab Active Pro that I was planning to buy. The only thing(s) I wish the FE has-- direct Headphone jack and Removable Battery. Haha!!
Im still unsure whether to go for the S9+ or S9 FE+. Here in the UK the S9+ is an absurd £1k. Black Friday is coming next month so it might be worth to wait for price drops in the S9+. The worry is longetivity when it comes to FE+: I already made the mistake of buying a budget tablet for studying and whilst its still very usable, it definitely is sluggish after almost 2 years of use.
Well every tablet gets slower after 2 years. It's just easier to notice when you're already on mid range performance. A factory reset will help. But even then. It's a tough call. You know your finances better than anyone. Buying a cheaper tablet and trading it in two years from now, that may be the way to go.. or just save up or wait for a sale. If it's a huge distance in price apart don't be afraid to save and resell and buy a better one later, one is a great value, one is premium, it's all about what you can afford. Either is great though
hey what is better galaxy tab s9 fe or galaxy tab s10 plus
might buy this tablet bc i got student discount but idk yet 😩😩
Still using my iPad 7th gen. Wondering if this is worth the upgrade or the Xiaomi Pad 6 🤔
I have the iPad 10th gen and i regret buying it... I should've bought this S9 FE...
great vid maybe do a comparison between the one plus pad 2 and the fe or the fe + for software or the pen
The quick comparison is, the Fe is a lot better on the software side. And it comes with a pen. The OnePlus pad has a slightly better screen, a slightly better refresh rate, and a decently better processor. So basically it's better hardware versus better software. It's actually a pretty close thing. I'd probably lean towards the OnePlus pad if they were the same price. But it's tough.
Thank you, how bout notetaking / studying on any of those tablets are they identical? or is the Samsung objectively better for notetaking and stylus latency- looking forward to your response
I'd say it's slightly better on Samsung, but it's subjective still. OnePlus has a better refresh rate which is good for stylus usage. But Samsung comes WITH A stylus that magnetizes to the back, so it's just more convenient, plus Samsung has better apps for notetaking and a better overall system/software, I'd lean Samsung.
How rugged is the tablet? And how well does it work with websites? Im an automotive technician and im looking for a tablet/ 2in1 computer to run things like prodemand for wiring diagrams or a wireless scan tool. Im mostly wonding about website ability and how it functions on the s9 fe or the s9fe+
The S9 are some of the few tablet lines that's rated IP68 dustproof/water resistant. Samsung also makes a rugged case for it.
will the Navionics app work on the s9fe galaxy tab
Just got one for $175 and it's amazing!
A great deal
I'm stuck on which version of the S9 FE+ to buy, the 8/128 or the 12/256. Is there currently any difference in performance between them? My instinct says to go for more RAM because future OS updates l surely be chunkier. Is that correct thinking? Wish we had really competitive prices here😒
Fe+ is big if you don't have a laptop then go for it and if you need easy handling tab then go for Fe
As far as ram, I don't think it will help. Ram has to do with how many apps run in the background. I wouldn't expect it to help performance because 8gb of ram can handle a lot of apps already. Unless you're trying to video edit 4k or something you should be more than find with 8gb. If it's reasonably close in price, sure, extra RAM can RARELY help. But in most situations running out of RAM just means closing an older app that you opened 30 minutes ago. And normally it won't affect your usage
@@brownkudi98 Thanks. I'm really after more screen, upgrading from my first-gen note 10.1 still on kitkat😂Most use will be drawing up craft plans and reading magazines. So it looks like 8Gb will meet that brief nicely.
@@AndroidDigest Thanks. I tend to be quite focused when doing things, without zillions of browser tabs or apps open. I was just worried some humungous future Samsung update might choke performance. The price difference between the two is an unjustifiable amount, I think I'd rather spend that on an SD card. The availability here seems to be dropping too, which is a pain for pricing.
230 usd in india and now s9fe is cheaper than S6 lite
It's better for sure than the s6 lite.
Does this supports HDR on youtube please reply 🙏🏻
yes it does.
Sorry, my youtube is bugging out, I tried to respond to both of your comments but it wasn't working, but yes. It works great!
Thanks
Is there going to be a tab s10 fe?
it really make a big consideration
I love mine. At the moment in the UK, it's about £450, but I presume that's because Black Friday's coming up, and they want to establish that high point, but I bought mine for £369 from Curry's (the UK Best Buy) six months ago. So don't buy it yet, wait until Black Friday.
Thanks ❤
I am bummed about the screen, but for $400, I think it is still worth it for me...
Is it good for ga,I’m
How long will it get updates that
4 OS updates from when it came out. 4 years basically. 5 years of security updates.
Just got this in a bundle with galaxy buds for $420 Canadian. That's prob $350 USD. Very happy
I’m in Canada too. Where was this deal?
@ForniteforAdults Amazon. I just got it yesterday. Get the FE 10.9 inch and get the bundle with the galaxy FE buds (which are surprisingly good). For some reason, instead of increasing the price by $100 it actually decreases the price by almost $100. I think it's a mistake because all other tablets it increases the price. But not with the FE 10.9 inch. It's an incredible deal and I'm happy to scam Bezos/Samsung lol
@Greenfrom3 The sale is up again! I just got the same deal couldn't believe my eyes. Even the tab only option was much more expensive than the non deal price for the bundle. Im also thinking its a pricing mistake but we'll take it.
@@shai5550 lol nice. I like both the tablet and the buds. It definitely is an amazing deal.
yessssss it is i love it
For sure!
I want for drawing, is it worth it for that?
Use paper
I just bought a galaxy 9+...It's amazing!
For sure
Got mine for $99 with trading in a ebay s6 lite I purchased for $110 ... total price $209.... play the game you get rewarded with an amazing device
That's amazing. A crazy good value. That's what I'm saying! This is a pretty reasonable price
My samsung tablet is slow in charging. I also wonder...when playing a youtube video on screen, why only 16 videos available as the next choosing
Tablets charge slower because their batteries are bigger than phones. I'm not sure how slow you're going but it is sort of normal depending on how slow
Can it connect to a projector?
No. Not with usb c to hdmi. It can connect to things wirelessly which is a little laggier. But it can't connect to a monitor or projector. you'll need a regular s9 for that
I bought it 2 months ago, mine is 256 gb/8gb .... at 480 bucks, I'm currently with an S21Plus and of course, you're gonna notice at the beginning the difference with the screen but after a while, you get used, It's definitely a good screen, and I must say that although is a midrange tablet, its more than enough for me, and I sometimes edit videos on Cap cut, mostly 1- or 2-min reels max. and I don't have any issues, all that while using chat GPT app, and 3 more apps of productivity, Microsoft edge with 2 o 3 tabs, and no issues at all. Pushing more than that of course it's gonna lag haha but I gotta say, for me performance its not an issue... but shoot for the 256 gb/8gb if you need to be kinda productive haha
Great advice!

I am a medical student, and apart from note-taking, medical apps and reading...i also want to start content creation on TH-cam and Instagram.....so which one should i get Samsung S9 FE + or I pad air M2 11??? also I need a tab that will have a longer life
iPad will have more power for video editing. In your use case I'd pick an iPad. As an android guy I'd never buy one. But I've got to be real with my advice
@@AndroidDigest thank you for your advice 🦋
I got it and it is capable to Play bloons td 6 at round 250+ which ist realy a Benchmark for the playing site 😂
My Phone with the Snapdragon 8g3 is better in Performance but for the price the Tab s9fe+ is realy good 😊👍
Bought IT for 570 Euro Brand new with 3 years warranty on amazon
Pretty good!

is 6/128 worth for s9 FE? or should i get the higher one?
higher please
@AliMasroor-l5b my tablet was bought yesterday, and I don't know how big my storage is since I'm not the one who bought it, so I guess I'm in trouble if it's actually 6/128 😭
@@beingamultifanisnotacrime2508lemme me completely honest u don't need high ram unless u run cod or smth on max setting also storage u won't use unless u take too much pictures or love downloading things I used my mobiles since 2020 and my storage is only at 50 gb full
You cant connect it to tv tho.
Getting for $200 new in sale here in India? I hope it’s a good deal, I am using iPad Air 3 at the moment.
That's a pretty good deal!
Is it still worth $300 if you don't need the pen? Or should I go with the A9+ for $199 for the 8gb?
Just get the A9+ if you don't need the S Pen. Performance for both is identical, the Tab S9 FE has a slightly higher clock speed but you don't really feel the difference in daily use.
The slight advantage that the Tab S9 FE has is a higher PPI and refresh rate display which i think is not worth the extra $100. Unless you can get the Tab S9 FE for $250 or less.
If you don't need it I'd still get the fe. Performance is better on the fe and the screen is slightly better. But that A9+ is no slouch
Thank you
Please reply☺️☺️
I need tablet for :
Note making
Studying on youtube
Some Netflix content
Smooth and flawless Multitasking
Video calls
And bit of gaming
So i was wondering whether is it worth to pay more money to jump onto galaxy s9 from galaxy s9 fe just for better processor and refresh rate or should i just go for s9 fe only??
If it's only like $100 extra, sure, go for the S9. It is $100 better or $150 better pretty easily. The FE will be more than good enough for what you want, but it won't be "flawless" multitasking, and the gaming would be better on the S9, I'd say get the S9 just in case.
Still worth it if you can get discount. The S Pen is very useful.
The best so far, I bought mine (S9 FE 5G/LTE) last October 2023. The size, software, ports, security features, SIM & e-SIM capable, Micro-SD slot & S-Pen is cool! 🔥
Caveat: I utilized this PRIMARILY for my readings, e.g. e-books (350 to 10000 pages), writings and take notes. I don't do games with this and though this is not with an Amoled screen, it's no probs sInce its HD, besides I noticed my exorbitantly price amoled Laptop when used in long durations is getting heat so much, this might be true with other gadgets.
In other words, this is best for students, reviewing classes and working professionals when on field.
I'm glad you like it!

Just picked it up for $299 at Best Buy.
I’ve got the s9 yesterday for $450 USD 256 Gb version, a really good deal.
That's a crazy good deal at that price! I bet they may offer like $650 or more for a trade in for the S10 series too. You never know. So great to pick it up at a discount now and you can consider keeping it or trading it.
What about AI ? Does it have the latest ia goodies from samsung ? Galaxy note ia stuff ?
It doesn't have many ai features yet and I'm not sure it will get many of them. I will say it does have circle to search. Haven't checked in Galaxy notes though, I do need to check that!
Please reply,
Galaxy tab s9 fe plus tablet is currently available in India for $300, should I buy it?
Well that's a really great deal. In the US we'd maybe see it for $350 at the absolute lowest and it would probably be used. Maybe $400 or $450 new. $300 is a great price
@@AndroidDigest Thank you, 👍
I bought it yesterday for 309 Euro, i hope it is worth the money.
great deal!
Got one for free buying an s24. I sold both and had a profit of 276 euro. I used them for an s9+ in ultra sales and in the whole process i spend 0. The FE Is amazing tablet but a bit overpriced, but for less then 300€ or $ could be worth.
Free is always good
this is what i need help with some people say its good, and some say its not, i just ordered one today, i just want to play soe games watch yt and stream have i made a good choice
That's because everyone has different expectations. I talk about that a lot in my videos. Some people come from high-end phones and they are very disappointed. Or they buy some Chinese tablets that have really fast speed for a lower price. So they get disappointed. But if you come from a lower end phone, you will be very impressed. So everyone's expectations are different. I think the performance is good, not great. But more than good enough for what you want to do. I think it's a very good device all around. But obviously there are better tablets out there, but you'll pay more money for them too
@@AndroidDigest thanks👍
Just paid £239 on ebay worth it or not i have the a9 8gb 128gb version as well plus s6 lite 2024 i got free with my phone contract
Well I guess it depends what you're using it for. It's the best tablet out of all of them. But it's also not that much better than the others.
Anyone has experience editing photos in Lightroom with this? RAW format, around 40 mb photos? Performance OK?
