So basically if you care about external display support, a LCD screen and a Exynos processor... go for the flagship S9 tab series and do not consider the FE series at all. I would then decide on the screen size. Personally I think the plus versions are a good size if you are a big time note taker and reminds me of an A4 paper size or a small laptop size... it is convenient for both entertainment and productivity purposes. It's not awkwardly big as the Ultra and is still convenient to take on the go. I play Gensin Impact on the S9 FE + on it's highest graphic settings and it works perfectly. I would also recommend spending extra on getting the 12 GB RAM just to add to that extra smooth experience. Also the front facing camera and the battery life of the S9+ and S9 FE+ are exactly the same. I personally think the price point of the FE series is more where a tablet's price point should be and the specs are still good. 😊 Hope this helps someone.

I owned the Galaxy Tab S6 (10.5) since i bought it in 2019 and it's served me great. But I really needed an affordable tablet that would continue to be supported for the next coming years. I decided to trade my Tab S6 in to Samsung for the Tab S9 FE+ and only ended up paying about $340 including a free book cover. Although the Exynos processor is a slight downgrade from the Snapdragon 855, and I would lose AMOLED, I found that I could get all of my tasks done just as well if not better now. The 90hz is a really nice upgrade and a larger display is great for content and web surfing. The performance isn't bad at all, unless you do a lot of heavy gaming or video editing, it can get everything done pretty easily. Note taking and drawing is a lot better with the larger display and new S Pen model. Overall i'm very happy with the Tab S9 FE+ and I totally recommend it if you can get a good trade in deal for it.

I personally use the Tab S9 because I play demanding games like Genshin Impact on it, and it's almost like a companion device to my PC. I bought the Tab S9FE for my brother who games occassionally but mostly uses it for media consumption and productivity. For anything below that, I do think the A series tablets are more than enough. My parents have the A7 and A8 respectively, and they are perfectly happy watching Youtube/Netflix or chatting with friends on Skype. Perhaps the recently released A9+ is the most suitable for those who only need it for basic functions.

Which one do you recommend for a phd student in the humanities who has to do lots of reading research papers and note taking?

[silverbullet]

I have an Tab S6 Lite and i used it everywhere i go but now i bought a Tab S9 with a free slim keyboard and the experience is amazing.
At first i was gonna buy the Tab S9 Plus but portability is my priority so i bought the S9 and i made the right decision thanks to this channel.

Would the 9fe work well for design programs like Canva, Design Space (cricut machine app), or Silhouette Studio (silhouette machine app)? These apps also communicate with the machine via bluetooth. I would also be printing from app to printer via blue tooth. Would the s9FE have sufficient power and speed or would you recommend the S9+ for such tasks?

I got the s9 fe The 15th of April and think it is great I specifically got it to play Warzone Mobile it plays great
also zoom meetings are clear
Thanks for the great reviews

[mikethg]

Waow very good comparison. It is really what I was looking for, espacially the last part you added. Big thanks

[shahalamkhan]

What should I buy s9 plus or ipad pro 12.9

[KrazyShark]

Tab S9+ for me baby >:) I want that power and all the bells and whistle and use it for productivity / studies so a bit bigger but not huge like the Ultra.

[whitneysanchez]

This is just what I needed, thank you!

Great review! I have a Galaxy Tab A that's a bit long in the tooth, but I've been getting a little overwhelmed with the choices on the newer series. After watching this it seems like the S9+ is the sweet spot as far as screen size, display quality, specs and bang for the buck. Plus, I want to try some gaming on a tablet, and it sounds like the S9+ should have no problems with that.

[citrusrealm]

thank you so much for making this comparison video! i was pretty overwhelmed by the number of options samsung offered, so this really helped me narrow down which model would be the best choice for me ☺

Really nice video, helped me a lot to understand better about wich one I should get, but I still have a question, how do you think the s9 fe will be in some years? Do you think it will still be okay for my use or I should spend a little more on the s9? Since it has a more powerfull chip, do you think this will make a big diference with time?
I plan on use it mainly for studying, sometimes drawing and watching movies/youtube, not heavy tasks and I really don't care about the oled screen that the s9 have, so I know that for now, the s9 fe would be enough. My only problem is that I am worried about the durability of it, I wanted something to last at least some 5 years, I know that the snapdragon's chips age well since I use a 5 years old note 9 and it still works fine for me, but I don't have experience with exynos, do you think that with time the s9 fe will still works fine for my needs?

[theingiyeyint]

For PhD research student, which tab should be chosen? Mainly for reading, studying, note taking, presentation, light video editing and zoom.meeting. No gaming

[matteovaltolina]

Hi from Italy! I'm undecided between s9 fe and s9. I'm looking for a lighter and more portable alternative to a laptop and I should use it at university to take notes in class. I never play games on the laptop and I only need it to surf the web and use Office (Word, PowerPoint...) for notes. In your opinion, is the s9 fe still good for this use or should I buy the s9 directly. My only concern a out the s9 fe si the processor because I would like a reliable device to keep for several years

[Peter-rcwy]

As a S7 plus owner, is it worth the upgrade? I bought the samsung keyboard and cover for the 7..

[twohassles]

Wow, you made me a subscriber! Not just because of your great video, but because of the time you take to reply to some of the people asking for advice in the comments!

You are the first YouTube creator that I have seen respond to comments in the way that you do here. Kudos to you my friend.

I can imagine how hard it is to record good content, let alone take the time to read comments and reply in such an informative manner as you have done here. Now that's what I call making an honest living! Your hard work is paying off. Keep it up!

Hi, I'm contemplating between getting S9 and S9FE. I mostly use my tablets for taking notes, reading e-books, editing documents, and sometimes watch movies. By that usage, I think S9FE is actually enough, but I'm hesitant because of the processor, 6GB of RAM, 2.0 USB C, and also I heard that FE doesn't have gorilla glass. I'm planning to use it long-term for at least 5 years. And for the price, in my country tab S9 is almost twice the price of S9FE
Do you think I should take the S9FE or it wouldn't meet my expectations? Or is it worth it if I add about 150 dollars to upgrade to S9FE for the extra RAM? Or if I add about 250 dollars to get the S8 instead?
Hope I could get your insight on this. Thank you in advance
