Overview
Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy Tab series at the “Galaxy Unpacked” event. Alongside the new Galaxy Tab S9 Series (Samsung Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S9 Plus), wearables (Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic) and foldable devices (Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5) were also announced. Let’s now review the Galaxy Tab S9’s specifications.
Samsung Tab S9 Design
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is substantially comparable to that of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. The Tab is 10.1 x 6.53 x 0.23 inches in size and weighs approximately 498 g (1.10 pounds). It is slightly thinner and smaller than its predecessor.
There is also a magnetized strip on the back for storing and charging the S Pen Stylus. There is also a little bump on the back of the camera. Regarding the build, the front is made of Glass and the overall body is made of aluminum.
Performance
Same as Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, The Galaxy S9 Tablet is also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. This chipset is quick and effective for smartphones. So I believe it will be even better when included in a Tablet.
Furthermore, given the larger form factor of a tablet, we may anticipate greater battery capacity and improved heat dispersion, which will further improve the overall user experience.
Camera
The Tab S9, like the Tab S8, includes a 13MP camera on the back and a 12MP ultrawide camera on the front. The back camera has an LED flash, HDR, and panorama capabilities and can capture 4K films at 30/60 fps and 1080p at 30 fps. The selfie camera also supports HDR and 4K/1080p video recording.
Display
The display of this Tab looks similar to the display of its predecessor, just like the design. The 11-inch AMOLED display of the Tab S9 boasts a dynamic refresh rate adjustment range of up to 120Hz. It has an OLED display with a resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels.
Storage
The Galaxy S9 Tablet comes with two choices for storage that suit your needs. You can choose between a 128GB variant with 8GB RAM and a more powerful 256GB model with 12GB RAM.
Furthermore, both models include a dedicated microSDXC card, allowing you to expand your device’s storage even further.
Battery
The Samsung Tab S9 has a larger battery (8400mAh) than Galaxy Tab S8, which had an 8000mAh battery. This battery upgrade improves overall performance as well as extends battery life. This increased battery capacity in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 means more extended usage time for all the tasks.
Not to mention the 45W fast charging feature. This can power up your tablet swiftly and you can get back to your tasks in no time.
Audio
The Tab S9, like its predecessor, retains the quad-speaker configuration with Dolby Atmos support. The interesting thing is that speakers are now 20% larger, which assures louder and better sound, according to Samsung.
This improvement is likely to help overcome the bass range limits and give a more enjoyable audio experience.
Software
The Samsung Tab S9 ships with Android 13 out of the box, offering a slight but important update to the main changes offered in Android 12. As a result, users can have access to Google’s most recent features and upgrades.
On top of that, it includes the One UI 5.1. This UI offers a distinct and optimized user experience, with new features and design elements targeted to improve the Tab’s efficiency and usefulness.
The optimum user experience is provided by the combination of Android 13 with One UI 5.1. With Samsung’s trademark touch, you get a smooth and intuitive Android experience.
Galaxy S9 Tablet Accessories
The Samsung Tab S9 comes with handy extras like the S Pen (BLE) and a USB Type-C connector right out of the box. There is a S Pen Creator Edition available in the market for Creative Enthusiasts.
Other accessories compatible with this Tablet include the Book Cover Keyboard Slim, Smart Book Cover, Outdoor Cover, Notepaper Screen, and Privacy Screen.
Except for the S Pen and USB Type-C, none of these accessories are included in the box. So, if you want to use these accessories, you must purchase them separately.
