Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ Plus 12.4” 256GB Android Tablet, Long Battery Life, Powerful Processor, S Pen, 8MP Camera, Lightweight Durable Design, Expandable Storage, US Version, 2023, Mint

Hello, this is my first review on Amazon. This review comes courtesy of a longtime Samsung user. Included is a picture of my S9 FE+ 256GB next to my second S6 Tab Lite (I lost the first one ;( ) shot on a S20 FE 5G. I will be comparing to my S6 Tab Lite. I really like the S6 Lite. I got it for $200 at Walmart (for both S6's). For comparison, I was given a Nexus 7 back in 2012, which was also purchased for $200. The Nexus is now 12 yo, and barely works. Using the S6 has been awesome. It's only chugged during intensive moments in gaming, and it only froze for a second or two. With three times the RAM as the S6, I don't think I'll have any problems for a long time.nThe size of the S6 Tab Lite is a lot more manageable for me. I could use it (the S6) one handed if I was only really using one half of the screen. I definitely can't with this! That being said, as somebody who's working on an engineering undergrad degree, I found the screen of the S6 too small. This screen feels big enough to use on most days. And with 256 GB instead of 64 GB, I can have games and lots of notes. A few notes: the S9 pen is a bit thicker and has a smaller button than the S6 pen. Second, I was getting better rear photos on the S6 than the S9, I don't know why. I hope it's user error. I'll update you on that. Finally, the S6 feels slimmer in my hand even though they're the same thickness, thanks to the S6 having rounded corners versus the sharper/more upright edges on the S9. Conclusion: For relaxation, the S6 is better, assuming you're not playing hard-core games (it ran fine on Honkai ... on the lowest settings). For work, the extra real estate pays dividends and with a good keyboard case, should be good to replace the laptop most of the time. Proper Review: When I wrote this originally, I didn't have the Samsung portfolio case. I left a review there about a month ago. (Short and sweet: It's very expensive, but it's also perfectly suited to what I need from this device. Backlighting would be nice, but I don't find it to be as much of an issue as I did a month ago.) Update on the camera: I think I smudged up the camera when grabbing the first time. I took a picture of an outdoor scene, and although it wasn't sharp, it wasn't really fuzzy either. I haven't done a side-by-side comparrison with the S6 Lite though. I'll update this update if I determine that smudges weren't the cause of the picture quality deficit. I learned about more software features, like RAM+ and wireless mirroring. In options, it gives the ability for up to 8 GB of virtual RAM. However, I also noted that 4 GB of RAM+ was selected and turned on by default. When I turned it off, it still showed up as 12 GB. Hopefully, this means I can have 20 GB of RAM, although I can't possibly imagine I'd need that many. I've noticed that the tablet seems to use at minimum around 4-5 GB of RAM. Makes me wonder how the S6 Lite manages to run Honkai Star Rail. I've seemed to have more performance issues in games than the S6 on higher settings, but the battery life is much better. It feels like this will never die! The S6 could only do 3-4 hours of gaming, but this can do much more, I think atleast twice as much, maybe triple? This also has faster charging speeds. Let me demonstrate the battery life. I have 1hr 15 minute classes. With note-taking almost the entire time, this went down 7%. At that rate, that's probably almost 16 hours of on-screen time! This tablet really is something special, especially with the portfolio case. It's small enough that I feel comfortable walking a mile to class with this in my hands (in a 13' Macbook case lol), and it's big enough that I can get work done on it - as long as I'm not constantly switching tabs. Windows is better for rearranging tabs, although Samsung provides more freedom - I just don't find that freedom useful personally. I still stand by my opinion that gaming is easier on the smaller screen - I accidentally pressed the accelerator in RR3 numerous times on the S9 FE+, but that never happened on the S6 Lite. Anyways, that's it for me. I'd highly recommend getting the extra RAM, especially if you're like me who was raised to use stuff until it falls apart. If you're a student, I couldn't recommend this tablet more strongly.

Been using for years now and it has been the best for visual quality and the battery life is amazing. A great tablet indeed.

I love mine - it replaced a smaller Samsung. I think this is my 4th Samsung so far - I keep they a couple years and then pawn them off on hubby so I can get a new one. I love that it can sync with my Samsung phone; I can surf on one, and pick up the other at the same place. The only thing I'd do differently is not buy the stylus. I thought I'd use it but I dont. It's not intuitive at all. The larger display is great, and I bought a rotatable cover for it so landscape or portrait, it's easy to hold and use.

This Samsung tablet replaced an older Samsung tabS 10"model. I am a heavy user of my tablets, so I decided to update to this newer model. My older tablet was Amoled, and though this one isn't, I really don't notice the difference. This one is a bit larger, but I also prefer larger screens with my senior vision issues. I play games like Township and Terra Nil, which both work great on this tablet with the extra ram. I mostly have quit using my lap top. As I using this tablet all long, watching utube and Netflix, I decided that I needed to buy a more durable n protective case than the one that originally came with it, just in case I dropped it. Unfortunately, I can no longer use the finger print sensor(it is covered by the new case), and the face recognition doesn't work that well for me. My one change would be for Samsung to add finger print sensor to the screen as an option. The charge holds most of the day for me with all day use, but I will usually put it on the "fast charger" after about 6 hrs. I like the battery safety feature that will stop it from over charging, as that may have been a problem with my older tablet. I always used some sort of stylus pens for my tablets, but have never had a tablet that I could actually write/draw on and really didn't think that I needed that feature. But, it has proved very useful once I figured out how to use Samsung notes. I don't think that I would ever buy another tablet without this feature, as I have been able to eliminate most of my paper notes...love using this! I haven't used the pen to draw with, but like to take notes on all my craft projects, etc. I can even insert photos into my notes. My only wish was that I had this when I was in school many years ago, though I would probably have ordered a smaller size for that purpose. This large size is perfect for watching movies and playing games at home. If this tablet lasts as long as my older Samsung, I will be very pleased.

It was hard to buy this, to me, expensive device. I use my 2019 A tab all day long. (even though I have a very nice desktop computer and a fancy S22 ultra phone). I read, write, research, play stupid games, shop, watch videos, access my printer, do everything with it. i\It can't stay connected to wifi 6, ane won't restart correctly. Some sites were not rendering correctly. So, time for a new tablet. It seemed like complete overkill to buy this tablet. Don't you think so? But it is a gift, that I was encouraged to accept. We had a lot of AMEX reward dollars that made it easier to buy now that Amazon accepts them. I was, again, encouraged to get this big size. It is pretty big. Is that necessary? I doubt it. So far it runs well. It magically linked with my phone and now is a second phone. Along with my Samsung watch. See, I told you, too much stuff. To me it charges very slowly. A full charge lasts a long time. I am slow to get used to new things, but I think I like this device. Maybe there was a tablet priced between the Tab A and this one. Ok this is the one between the tab A and the S9 tab, I get it. I like that it is water resistant, but I never dunked the old Tab A. I bet this new tablet will be $200 off in six weeks. Oh, well.

4.5 STARS This is a great tablet just not as good as the oled ones ,but for the price and even the screen is near oled picture quality.

This is perfect.

So far I love this tablet. The 12.4" screen size and display clarity exceeded my expectations, and the processor speed is great too! It was very easy to import all of my items from my old Samsung tablet, so I was up and running again in no time. Also, the sound quality blew me away, especially considering that it's coming from a tablet. I wish it came with a case, and it would be great if it had a USB port, but those shortcomings aren't enough to keep me from being very happy with my purchase. I would highly recommend this tablet.
