A multi-talented device which is great for notes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S9 FE+ is a very well-balanced device. and offers decent value for money. The larger of the two S9 FE siblings, the plus designation brings a bright 12.4" screen, a RAM and battery boost and an additional ultrawide camera on the rear.
Battery life is excellent, and the tablet delivered a great experience with movies (the sound from its stereo speakers is a standout), games and most importantly for me, note taking.
The included S-Pen is lovely to use, resistance on the screen is fluid and natural and there is no noticeable lag. Writing to text worked well and enabled me to capture what I needed without having to worry about going back correcting to ensure more accurate translations. The included note functionality is good, but add in Nebo and you have a portable note powerhouse.
My wife has the S7 FE, and this is a worthy upgrade - I love the addition of waterproofing, the only thing missing versus the older tablet is the ability to HDMI out via the USB-C port, which is a shame, but not a dealbreaker as wireless connectivity is offered in abundance.
Set-up was a breeze and made even more foolproof if you have a Samsung phone (simply scan a QR code and you are off).
The S9 FE+ really is a brilliant all-rounder. Samsung has refined its offering to the point that this device does everything well, without unnecessarily overspeccing.
Lightweight, pleasant to hold and use - we will enjoy the avenues this will open in the coming months, including the Pen-Up drawing challenges.

Great but not perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking forward to getting this tablet as I haven't had one for a few years now and I was itchig to get one and see what has changed since then.
I chose the lovely mint green colour for my choice but I wasn't too impressed by it when it arrived as I expected it to be a lot more vibrant that it was which was like a pastel but that was a minor issue.
I did like that this tablet came with the s pen as that does add a lot more functionality but I wish there was just another place it could go that being magnetically attached to the back as that can be quite annoying as I had bought a case to go with this tablet but the s pen on the back got in the way of being able to use the case properly. I would have bought a Samsung case but they are very expensive for what they are.
This tablet is so thin and light on first impressions which I was so surprised by and I loved that the s pen matched the tablet too. The screen on this is massive and I love it. There's plenty of real estate to do plenty on this tablet.
There is no vibration motor. I would have thought every device for ages would have had a vibration motor but this sadly does not. It just would be nice to have a notification vibration when it's on silent and when playing games to feel a bit more real.
The screen looks impressive on first glance but it isn't the most responsive and isnt the best looking either but it does do the job.
Due to this I would personally say this isn't worth what is being charged but I would recommend to anyone as it is a solid choice that will be used for years and would be a good runner

Great value for money tablet!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing I noticed when unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE was how premium it felt. Samsung certainly hasn’t scrimped on the build quality in an effort to keep the price lower as per the mantra of their FE devices - it feels as good as the premium S9 tablet which I also have. The tablet is very thin, feels very sturdy and feels pretty premium with its aluminium and glass build.
This is the biggest tablet I’ve bought for the purpose of media consumption at 12.4”, and the screen is great for it. Not quite as striking as an OLED but a fairly good LCD with decent black levels, and the 90Hz refresh rate it feels pretty smooth. The stereo speakers on the sides of the device sound reasonable, not tinny or poor quality that you might find on a cheaper tablet. Battery life for watching videos has also been great, and looking forward to testing it more.
The one area I could tell where the FE does save money is on the processor. There has been a couple times where the tablet has stuttered a bit when launching and running apps, but this didn’t happen often enough to be annoying.
The included S-Pen is a great extra, and handwriting recognition worked well. I was actually amazed that the pen doesn’t require charging on the back of the device like the one on the premium S9 model… I’m actually a little confused as to how it works as well as the version that needs charged, as it seems to do 95% of the same job!
Overall I’m very impressed with the value for money that you get with this tablet. It strikes a great balance between features that most people would want and use, and the price that you pay.

Bigger Screen makes the difference
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had other Tablets by Samsung and I have really enjoyed using the S9 FE+, set up was very easy, I connected the S9 FE+ to my old tablet and used the app to swap all my data over. this was painless and very straightforward. i signed into my accounts and i was away.
The larger screen is fantastic, I really noticed the difference over previously having a standard sized tablet, the larger screen is great for running multiple apps/ screens side by side. The S pen has more of a natural feel of a pen so makes writing or drawing on the screen fantastic, i like the simple gestures of the s pen good to use too. the write text to print function is good most of the time, although it didn't always identify the text i'd wrote correctly, but the delete by drawing a line through text is great.
The camera was good in natural light but struggles a bit indoors i found, but i propbabaly wouldn't choose a tablet to take pictures unless it was a last resort or taking pictures of a A4 pieces of paper for the text scan feature in the camera app.
Watching/Streaming films and tv was very good with the screen being large and vibrant. the AKG powered speakers are clear and powerful, although i mainly use earphones which are connected fast through Bluetooth and have good sound.
Battery life is very good, charging takes a while though but it is a large battery so is to be expected, my only grumble is the same with all Samsung devices, no plug is included, just a USB-C to USB-C cable, if you don't have a plug with a USB-C input this is going to be an extra expense.
overall this is a great tablet and i would highly recommend

A good tablet for general use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a user of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, I've found it to be a reliable companion for my digital endeavors. The tablet offers a commendable blend of functionality and performance, though it falls short of achieving brilliance and harbors certain limitations.
The Galaxy Tab S9 FE's design is sleek and modern, making it a pleasure to hold and use. Its vibrant display renders crisp visuals, enriching my multimedia experiences and enhancing productivity tasks. Performance-wise, the tablet handles everyday tasks with ease, thanks to its capable processor and ample RAM. However, it occasionally stumbles under more demanding workloads, revealing its limitations in intensive usage scenarios.
Samsung's One UI interface provides a polished user experience, complemented by intuitive navigation and a plethora of customization options. Features like DeX mode and Samsung Notes add versatility to my workflow, but the software experience could benefit from streamlining, as redundant features occasionally clutter the user interface.
Battery life on the Galaxy Tab S9 FE is respectable, easily lasting through a day of moderate usage. Fast charging capabilities ensure minimal downtime between charges, which is a significant convenience. Connectivity options are comprehensive, allowing me to stay connected across various environments seamlessly.
Despite its strengths, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE faces certain limitations that temper its overall appeal. It lacks standout features that would set it apart in a competitive market landscape, and its camera performance leaves much to be desired. However, for users seeking a dependable tablet for everyday use, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE presents a compelling option, bridging the gap between functionality and affordability.

Exceptional Samsung Technological Progression
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having owned one of the earlier model first Samsung tablets, which I was using up until quite recently, I was amazed what a different beast Samsung now has to offer. Samsung's technology, graphics and just as important sound capabitiies have progressed so much in such a short time.
The overall sophisticated feel and look of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is of quality and sleek styling. The tablet was extremely easy to set up once out of the stylish packaging and pretty much guided you through the whole process from start to finish.
Charging time is extremely quick but would have liked it to hold its charge a little longer than it did. I found it made more sense turning the tab off completely when not in use to save from charging it so often.
Once setup, it was very easy finding my way around, especially when adding apps and setting up my emails. The graphics were outstanding and the 12.4 inch screen was great to surf the net with but particularly came into it's own when watching movies. The colours, quality and sound could rival most high end television brands yet alone rival tablets! I've never felt the urge to watch movies on anything other than my main TV but since owning the tablet it has been great to have the additional option.
The tablet has been a useful tool for my university note taking and creating sketches with the handy S Pen. Far cleaner than scrappy bits of paper which were easily mislaid.
The unit also has a slot for an SD card which is a handy feature for obtaining additional memory. Slight disappointment when I found I could not use headphones as no place to insert them so will need to purchase Bluetooth ones.
I highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ for work, pleasure and that all important college / university work.

An all-rounder tablet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an avid user, the standout features of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus have significantly enhanced both my professional and personal experiences with using tablets.
The centerpiece of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus is its impressive 12.4-inch colorful display, which not only captivates with vibrant visuals but also incorporates a thoughtful reduction in blue light emissions. This feature is particularly noteworthy for those long work or study sessions, minimizing eye strain and fostering a more comfortable viewing experience. The tablet's display prowess, coupled with its generous size, makes it an ideal canvas for content creation, entertainment, and immersive productivity. It doubles as a handy e-notepad, which is brilliant when notetaking in conferences or webinars.
The inclusion of the S Pen further elevates the user experience- the stylus seamlessly integrates with the tablet, providing a natural and precise writing or drawing experience- like writing on paper! Whether jotting down notes, annotating documents, or expressing creativity, the S Pen's responsiveness and versatility add a layer of functionality that sets the Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus apart.
The tablet boasts a generous 128GB capacity, ensuring ample space for documents, multimedia, and applications. This feature caters to the needs of professionals and creatives alike, eliminating concerns about storage constraints, like most devices impose. If 128GB isn’t enough there are cloud options available, using apps such as DropBox.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus has successfully carved a niche in the market by combining a vibrant and spacious display, an innovative S Pen experience, ample storage capacity, affordability, and long-lasting battery life. Whether you are a professional navigating work tasks or a creative soul expressing ideas, this tablet stands as a commendable choice that delivers on performance, functionality, and value- which is why I would recommend it to friends and family alike.

Great Tab but glitchy features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been looking for a new tablet for a while as our old one was just that, old, and a bit clunky so this is a great replacement for us.
Initial impressions upon opening the box are that its really sleek looking. Super thin and streamlined and even comes in a box slim enough to fit through the letterbox (although to achieve that it does mean that no charger plug comes in the box which is a big negative mark for me considering the pricepoint)
The screen on this tablet is huge! And super clear with bright vivid colours and high definition images. Very impressive and runs films/TV well as well as making more standard stuff like games, notes, spreadsheets super clear.
We also tested it with a few super high res clips (2060p) and it handled that pretty well even despite a bit of lagging.
I was most excited about the S pen feature as we are currently planning a wedding and thought this would be brilliant for taking notes and all the plans we are making, and the S pen does not disappoint.... Mostly.
I have found that it can be rather glitchy and one some apps (such as the play store) you can't use it at all so this is the main reason I can't give the tab 5 stars. I have also experienced issue swith it while using sheets, particularly when trying to write text in cells instead of numbers.
Its a big selling point in all the media releases and i feel it's just a little too glitchy and could do with some improvements and polishing - hopefully that will come in future updates.
It is satisfying to use though and still my favourite feature of the tablet.
Overall this is a really nice tablet. Its a brilliant size with the 14 inch screen yet is lightweight and slim so doesnt feel too chunky and still feels portable.
It is absolutely a perfect upgrade foem our old android tablet and were rwally enjoying putting it through its paces and exploring all of the features.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new tablet, especially if they use it a lot for watching videos/fims/shows ect.

Solid Tablet but initial price might be too high
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to the regular S9 tablet, this one's missing a few bells and whistles, but here's the kicker—it's only half the price! Inside the box, there is the tablet, the S Pen, a USB-C charging cable, and, oh, some paperwork.
Now, onto the specs and design. The Galaxy Tab S9 Fe+ looks a lot like the regular version with its aluminium frame, aluminum back, and glass front. It's slim, but this 12.4-inch version is a bit on the heavy side, weighing in at over 600g. The back has the Samsung logo and an 8-megapixel main camera that does 4K video at 30 FPS. Watch out, though—fingerprints show up easily, and you'll be doing some wipe-downs. But hey, it's IP68 water and dust-resistant, so it can handle a bit of splash.
The display is where it's at—12.4 inches of LCD goodness. Yeah, it's not AMOLED, but it's still rocking a 90Hz refresh rate. Colours pop, contrast is decent, and the display hits 700 nits. Just don't take it out in the sun too much. The audio comes through stereo speakers, and it's pretty clear and loud.
Running on Android 13 (but probably jumping to 14 soon) with One UI 5.1, you get all those Samsung apps. Fingerprint sensor is on the top which is not the greatest, but face detection is there to save the day. I'm digging the split-screen action, too.
Now, let's talk about the S Pen. You can clip it on the back, and it charges. Double press the button, and you're in the pen menu. It's got the basics covered—note creation, smart select for screenshots, screen write for quick annotations, and even a doodle mode using the front camera. And don't forget DEX mode—it's like turning your tablet into a mini laptop.
Performance? It's rocking Samsung's own Exynos 1380 chipset with 12 gigs of RAM. Runs smooth in all modes, even gaming. For Cameras, it has a 8-megapixel normal and 8-megapixel ultra-wide in the rear and an 12-megapixel front cam. Decent for video calls. Battery life is okay with an 10,000mAh battery—about 12 hours on normal use, 8 on heavy use. But charging is limited to 45 Watts, it's not breaking any speed records. Overall a solid tablet but I think the price might be too high for most and with the discounts on the original tab S9, you might be better off getting that version.

Perfect balace of price and performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The samsung tab 9 fe plus really exceeded my expectations, samsung have made the right balance between cost and features without taking away from the tablets great performance, the tablet looks and feels premium in every way.
The 12.4 inch screen on the FE plus version is super bright (even in an outdoor setting) and produces vivid colours despite the fact it doesn't have an oled display. The 90hz refresh rate makes for a smooth user experience.
The battery life is perfect! It seems to last forever between charges and easily keeps up with my daily work use, in regards to charging the tablet utilises usb c to charge and a cable is included in the box.
Whilst on the subject of charging.. one thing I would like to point out to anyone planning to purchase the FE, the box includes no charging brick and a usb c to usb cable, so if you haven't got a charging plug with a usb outlet you would be wise to pick one up.
One feature I didn't know I needed until purchasing this tablet.. reverse charging! With the use of the supplied cable the tablet allows you to plug in any other usb powered device and charge them from the tablets large battery.
Performance wise the tablet is very capable, whether it's be playing games, watching videos or creating a spreadsheet the tab 9 fe handles them all with ease and I have not noticed any slow down / stuttering.
I love the fact that Samsung includes the S Pen in the box, it really improves the user experience and knowing you don't have to pay more money is great.
I don't often use the cameras on my tablets, however I am really impressed with the quality of both cameras, especially the front camera which in my opinion takes better images than the rear cameras which is a refreshing change.
The Samsung One ui provides a silky smooth and intuitive user interface allowing many things to be customised, a personal favourite feature of the operating system is DEX mode which in short turns the tablet into a desktop environment with the features you expect from an ordinary laptop, this paired with the Samsung galaxy book cover / keyboard I now find myself leaving the laptop at home.
I highly recommend the Samsung Tab 9 FE Plus! It provides the perfect balance between price and performance.

My Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is a long overdue upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ 256GB arrived in a super slim white flat box along with the S Pen, a USB type C charging cable and pin for opening the SD memory card slot. First impression was how slim the tablet was which did mean that there is nowhere to stow the pen unlike my old tablet (A minor issue to be honest).
After charging I set about setting up the tablet with my existing Google account credentials. I decided to copy the apps and settings from my Samsung Galaxy S20+ phone rather than my old tablet as my old tablet contained mostly outdated and limited apps. Using the Samsung Smart Switch app on both my S20+ phone and the Tab S9 FE+, the transfer of all my apps, files and photos was simple and straightforward. However, it did take a little while due to the considerable number of photos and videos to transfer but that was only to be expected. On completion all my apps and photos were copied over and ready to use. With 256GB of storage space there is ample capacity for my purposes and I imagine for most other people too, but if not then there is an SD memory card slot for even more storage.
Battery life has been very good and lasts me for days. You need to provide your own charger which is disappointing but seems to be the norm these days. I don't have a high power USB C charger so haven't been able to test the quick charging function. However, I usually just plug it in overnight and it's 100% full by the morning.
My primary use is for watching videos and social media. The picture quality of the 12.4" screen and sound quality are excellent, way better than my old tablet. The touch screen is sensitive and accurate as you would expect. I am looking forward to making use of the S Pen for drawing and note taking. It turns out that the pen with my previous tablet also works with the new Tab S9 FE+ so that's a bonus if the pen is ever lost.
The power button doubles up as the fingerprint sensor making it very convenient to use. Much easier than entering a PIN or drawing a pattern although those options are also available.
I bought a protective case and applied a screen protector to fend off any knocks and scrapes which with the best will in the world are inevitable at some point.
Overall I am delighted with the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ and it has been a very overdue upgrade of my old tablet. Hopefully it will last me for a good few years to come.

A Budget Beast for Everyday Use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a tablet that excels in the everyday essentials, without breaking the bank. Enter the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, a budget-friendly champion that packs a punch. I also need a tablet that can replace my current laptop which is old, heavy, and clunky.
Here's my honest review after several weeks of use:
First Impressions:
Straight out of the box, the Tab S9 FE impresses with its sleek design and premium feel. The aluminum casing oozes quality, and adding the S Pen is a delightful bonus. The setup was easy, seamlessly integrating with my Samsung phone and effortlessly transferring settings.
Display & Performance:
The landscape-oriented screen shines for streaming movies and TV. Videos play with stunning clarity, vibrant colors, and crisp sound from the dual speakers. The processor easily handles everything I throw at it, from casual browsing to online shopping, with zero lag or stuttering. Battery life is a major win, lasting significantly longer than I need between charges.
S Pen Magic:
The included S Pen adds a whole new dimension to the experience. Jotting down notes in Samsung Notes is smooth and natural, and the magnetic attachment keeps it handy. Whether drawing, annotating documents, or navigating the interface, the S Pen elevates usability.
Room for More:
The MicroSD slot provides an easy way to expand storage if needed. And Samsung Dex transforms the tablet into a portable laptop with the right accessories, a true productivity powerhouse.
Minor Quirks:
The audio is decent but suffers in portrait mode. The lack of a charger in the box might annoy some, and no cellular option could limit appeal for those on the go.
Verdict:
For casual and hardcore users like myself, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE is a perfect match. It delivers everything I need and more at an accessible price point. While it may not match the specs of its higher-end siblings, it exceeds expectations in every way. If you're looking for a reliable, versatile tablet for everyday tasks without the premium price tag, the Tab S9 FE is a champion worth considering.

Premium design and feel
Crisp display with vibrant colors

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ Review: A Versatile Powe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First Impressions: As a busy professional in my 40s, I'm used to juggling multiple tasks and demanding tech. So, when I got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, I was immediately impressed by its sleek design and eco-friendly packaging. Ditching the unnecessary bulk felt refreshing, and setting it up with my existing Galaxy S22 via QR code was a breeze – the easiest setup I've ever experienced with any gadget!
Performance Powerhouse: I primarily use tablets for multitasking, social media, gaming, and browsing. The FE+ tackled everything with ease. I could play GTA3 flawlessly while downloading other games in the background – not a single stutter or lag. It's a multitasking beast! The vibrant 12.4-inch display made everything a joy, from browsing newsfeeds to watching movies. Colors were crisp, viewing angles were generous, and the clarity truly enhanced the visual experience, especially when admiring landscape photos I took with the camera (more on that later!).
S Pen Versatility: Speaking of the S Pen, it's a game-changer! The built-in pen is incredibly versatile, perfect for jotting down notes, sketching, or even editing photos. And the best part? My existing Galaxy S22 pen works seamlessly with the FE+, eliminating the need for extra accessories. This continuity across devices is something I truly appreciate.
Camera Captures Memories: While I wouldn't consider myself a photography enthusiast, the FE+ surprised me with its camera quality. Family portraits and landscape shots came out stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details. Even zoomed in, the pictures retained their clarity, making it a joy to capture life's moments.
Other Highlights: Battery life has been impressive, easily lasting a full day of moderate use. The speakers deliver decent sound, though stereo speakers would be a welcome upgrade for audiophiles. The software experience is smooth and familiar, thanks to the familiar Samsung interface. And pre-installed apps haven't been intrusive, which is always a plus.
Overall Recommendation:
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is a fantastic tablet for anyone looking for a versatile powerhouse. It excels at multitasking, delivers stunning visuals, and boasts a surprisingly good camera. The S Pen integration and seamless connection to my existing Galaxy phone make it an even more compelling option. If you're a busy professional or someone who simply wants a reliable device

Brilliant for fun and work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ has been exceptionally positive from the outset, even before unveiling of the device from the box. I always pay attention to the amount and quality of the packaging. There was no excess of it, all from recycled sources and printed with soy ink and no plastic in sight. Yet the packaging had a quality feel, mirroring the premium feel encapsulated within the tablet itself. Tablet is very slim and light. Its aluminium body feels very premium. The set up process was straightforward, seamless and relatively fast; I managed to transfer all my applications and contacts from my phone using QR code in the process. Very quickly I could access my frequently used apps and download many more. I am very pleased with 128Gb capacity and a possibility of extending it further to 1TB thanks to the memory card slot.
Both the tablet and accompanying pen boast water-resistant properties, although I have refrained from putting this feature to the test. I had a little accident with the device when I slipped and fell. It was stored in a thin, temporary sleeve and I thought it might break or at least the screen would crack but nothing like that happened. Since then I am convinced it is a well build, robust piece of tech made to last, reinforcing my confidence in its durability. Nevertheless, a prudent investment in a protective cover has been made to safeguard against potential scratches, mishaps and prolong its lifespan.
The screen is bright with vibrant colour reproduction yet my eyes do not get tired. I spend often long hours at the screen editing photos and the fact that this display is designed with reduced blue light emission is very thoughtful.
The stylus provided a delightful user experience. Handwriting recognition feature is working great and I had a chance to sign few documents using it. It works perfect in drawing apps, feels natural and reacts differently depending on the pressure variations. Its compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal companion for on-the-go drawing, without compromising on drawing space. It is fun to use it even with the simplest drawing app, as my usual app for drawing is not available on Android I had to shop around for an alternative. I was successful in finding few and they all were a pleasure to use.
The tablet serves as a proficient tool for photo editing, despite its slim profile, the tablet boasts an impressive battery life, further enhancing its appeal.

A much needed upgrade!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a Samsung tablet some years ago, whilst it did it's job it never really satisfied, it always felt cramped and didn't function quite how it should have done.
So, the biggest upgrade, the real estate: you wouldn't think that an extra 2" on the screen size would make that much of a difference; if you look at my second photo, you'll see that when placed side by side the Tab S9 FE+ doesn't look that much larger, but when it's in your hands it's a night and day difference in the feel. As I already mentioned, my old one felt cramped, the new one just feels wide open, it fills the space in front of your face and your hand is free to roam widely. I know you can get 14" tablets, but in light of my experience I would say they would probably end up feeling overwhelming.
If anyone ever had a choice about what size tablet to purchase, I would definitely recommend 12" as the perfect place to settle on.
Now, performance, unless you're running extremely demanding apps you generally won't notice problems, I can say the S9 FE+ definitely felt more responsive over my old one, but that was more a subjective feeling. What I did know was that the S9 FE+ was happily running some games that my old one couldn't, despite it technically being specced up enough, again, see my second photo showing the S9 FE+ actually playing Crying Suns whilst the other only has a message saying it's not capable.
Another performance improvement, connectivity with other devices, in this case connecting to my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 laptop, see my third photo: the old tablet was meant to function as a second screen, but it would only do so after enabling a hidden developer menu function. Every. Time. The S9 FE+, however, actually showed up when my laptop scanned for external devices and connected seamlessly, just a single click with the mouse; it also benefitted from the larger screen size, the higher resolution, and no lag when moving the mouse cursor across on to it. It will actually prove to be usable for this function, whether as an expanded screen or as a duplicate for someone to observe what's being displayed on my laptop.
Lastly, sound output is a definite bump up from my old tablet, though a slight nitpick that my fingers tend to end up sitting over the speaker grilles... However, the quality and volume is immersive, a nice surround effect enveloping your head, you know it's powerful when your fingers start vibrating when you stick them in the wrong place!
Upgrade Recommended!!!

Great Tablet. Dust & Water Resistant.
I decided to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus as I already own a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 5g. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra mobile phone. Samsung Galaxy 360 Laptop and a Samsung smart TV hence the reason for purchasing this S9 FE+ tablet. I wanted the new S9 ultra OLED but I couldn't afford it at the time but the S9 ultra OLED is now on sale and with the cash back offer as well as trade in and a free Galaxy 6 watch it makes it a fantastic offer. I would have definitely waited for the S9 Ultra OLED offer if I'd have know as I use my S9FE+ for art work and colouring too so I am disappointed in that aspect but the S9FE+ is still a good tablet. It connects easily to my phone as well as my Samsung TV. In the description it says that it isn't compatible to smart view to a TV but it definitely works on my TV with ease as I can mirror the tablet screen to the TV when we do our online food shopping so my wife can tell me what to add from the comfort of her armchair. It's a pity that my Samsung TV has now come up with a on screen message saying that I now need to buy a newer TV for it to display my Ring cctv cameras. Even though the TV still works fine. This as definitely put me off purchasing Samsung from now on. I changed from owning all A*ple products to Samsung because they forced you to upgrade items to new models by not updating the software for the older equipment (5 years) isn't old and not everyone can afford to keep upgrading. I must admit though if Samsung keep offering the deals to upgrade there technology as they have at present then that's good. The S9 FE Plus tablets is very responsive, good quality display screen even though it's not a AMOLED screen. The sound is very impressive especially when watching 4K UHD on YouTube. I also use the tablet to watch sports TV on my Virgin account and it copes really well but obviously this all depends on the Internet speed. The tablet also makes it easier being able to have finger print recognition for log in and passwords. This is a real bonus for me due to suffering with memory problems. I also have the tablet set to adjust the screen brightness depending on the ambience which it also deals with effortlessly. The smart pen is also easy to use and get used to especially if this isn't the very first experience using a smart pen, if it is your first time, using a smart pen then just practice and it will become se and nature. The smart pen with the FE+ Tablet doesn't have as many options as the Pro pen but I have found it to be enough for my needs. I also purchased a hard silicone protective case with built in screen protector and put the tablet straight in it from new to help keep it safe. You don't have to use a protective case with this tablet as it is dust proof and waterproof but PLEASE READ the details regarding this. All in all I am really pleased with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus and it covers all my current needs.
