Samsung's Half-Price 'Fan Edition' Tablet | Galaxy Tab S9 FE Unboxing

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, a more budget-friendly Fan Edition of the pricey Sammy tablet, with a hands-on review of the gaming chops, plus multi-tasking and more. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE starts from £449 in the UK, so almost half price! Plus you get that S Pen stylus bundled in the box.

One of the major downgrades is the performance, with an Exynos chipset replacing that Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Thankfully this doesn't impact the everyday experience much. You can still game on Genshin Impact on the Galaxy Tab S9 FE. However, you'll want to lower the graphics settings on this Fan Edition for a proper smooth frame rate.

The Samsung Tab S9 FE also scraps that gorgeous OLED screen, replacing it with a more basic IPS display. Grab the Plus model and it's even bigger. Contrast isn't as sharp and there's no HDR support, but it's still quite bright, poppy and sharp. However, this Galaxy tablet offers a slimmed-down version of DEX, and you'll still need to pay extra for that Book keyboard cover.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE can be yours right now and check out my review of the Tab S9 Ultra to see the opposite end of Sammy's tablet line-up!

I really like your wallpaper selection on every review

Had it now for almost a week for uni and i must say, im glad i didn go for the ipad 10th gen. It has everything i need for uni for lower price than the ipad and reasonably fast enough for genshin as well. Buold quality is amazing and the s pen is amazing as well. Considering that this is my first ever tablet for productivity and minimal gaming, it's so good.

i like that you always put the best anime wallpapers in your review

A thing to note for those who don't know. The SPen Does Not Need to be Charged to Used.
The SPens for the regular Tab S9 series have added Bluetooth features that turns your SPen into a magic wand remote control which does need a battery charge to use But, those Bluetooth features are not available on the FE devices, hence the lack of a battery in the pen and the lack of a need to charge said pen either.

Really glad that you mentioned about the storage! I was worried I wouldn't be able to expand it later, now I know, cheers! 🙏🏻🎉

Do an episode on what devices you have to purchase and what devices are sent as review devices from the manufacturer. Your site is awesome!

Well done, my friend! I am looking at one of these now.

a lot of people hate the finger print sensor on the power button but I really love it. one of my favorite features of the fold series as well.

Samsung tablets still have a huge advantage with the ecosystem of OneUi. The Samsung phones and tablets are super-connected so transfering takes place instantly which is great. For a teacher like me, this tablet and S23 serve me perfectly.

That S pen joke came out of nowhere 🤣4:42

Excellent review almost got all my question answered.

Gonna get my s9 fe tomorrow. I got a good deal with Samsung and bought it for 270 bucks. Gonna be my first ever tablet

[chrisbullock]

Nice....yeah we just snagged two Samsung Tab 8 Ultra's for $699 each through Best Buy's early Black Friday deal for Total Tech Members. We were actually going to get S8+'s for around the same price for 256gigs and at the last minute saw the S8 Ultras for same price. It was a no brainer...

Fun fact: In Brazil we get the charger in the box! The launch promo of receiving the case and Buds FE couldn't be better. Bought mine last week and I am very excited to get my hands on this tablet!

😂😂😂 "Pen-S"? Crazy, love the thing you did with the hair too, you kind of look like Schemas ... Without the muscle ofcourse. Like the device too, especially that neat trick with the stylus, great review, 👌👌👌👌

[ZenonZolek]

Great review, covered everything for me. I've been using the Galaxy S2 mostly for YouTube, but it's too old and it can't update the YouTube app now. So, S9 Fe it is, thank you subbed 👍

[carloscardona]

I have no complaints, friend. Yesterday was my birthday, and I treated myself to it at 1/2 off, just 20$ for service. I am debating if it looks better than my Galaxy S6 4g. I don't see myself paying over a thousand for a tablet. I'd Ratner by a Tv LOL 😅. Good Deal T=Mobile .

[christianityrawandunedited]

i have had mine for a few weeks and love it no issues does the job
