Originally, I bought this Tablet with the intent to use it for gaming. Ultimately, I found that there is so much more you can get out of it than that.Its a very thin, lightweight tablet. The screen is an impressive size that felt larger in my hands than I had expected. I was originally considering going for the Ultra, but the size of the S9 is more than enough for what I need. I actually feel more comfortable using this tablet without the protective case that I purchased for it when at home. I didn't even bother putting on the protective glass screen I bought for it because I don't see myself abusing this tablet as hard as I abuse my phone.The performance is fantastic. This has no problem playing whatever games you might want to play on it and the refresh rate is superb. As someone who regularly uses a high refresh rate monitor, I can appreciate seeing similar performance on a tablet.What I wasn't expecting when I bought this was how much I could get out of Samsung's Second Screen app. This built in application allows you to wirelessly connect your Samsung tablet to your PC and use it as an additional monitor. As someone who regularly uses a laptop for work, its a game changing asset to have. The integration is seamless; you can even choose to enable the touchscreen so that you could browse through documents like you would with a kindle without having to go through the hassle of doing file transfers.However with performance comes a price. It goes without saying that these tablets are pretty damn expensive. If I had to make a recommendation, I would suggest settling for the S9 which my friend bought and is more than satisfied with. Most of what you are getting out of making the jump to the S9 or Ultra is a larger screen size. Visit your local electronics store and see which one is right for you.

Bought this tablet to replace a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 which wasn't able to be updated any more. The S9 is noticeably faster and the video quality is excellent, seemingly even better than the S6. I use VLC software to play videos and the new tablet shows no lag and no drops/stalls. Transferring my data from the S6 was done using SmartSwitch (highly recommended) and the USB-C to USB-C cable that came with the S9. This was really very fast. Loading new videos to the S9 from my PC was also fast, much faster than for the S6. No issues at all. Highly recommended.

This tablet is more than enough for my needs.The speed, graphics, crisp and vibrant screen, all make for a wonderful experience. I was originally looking into the ultra, but I couldn't justify the purchase when the only real differences are screen, speaker and ram related, and nothing i'll do with it will really max out the current specs. The speakers sound amazing on this thing. Most tablets just have cheap tinny speakers just to fill the spaces while the Galaxy S line seems to have had a lot of thought put into sound quality. The camera is quite decent as well. Not top of the line, but for a tablet, it takes some pretty clear photos.It charges quite fast as well, and stays charged for a while, even with heavy game play, just like my S23 U. I did about 3 hours of straight play on war universe and it was still around 80% when I shut it down.I did make sure to get an illuminated magnetic keyboard case, and a high speed 512gb Samsung Micro SD card for it. Don't need them, just wanted to get them and got a good deal. The next thing I get will be a bluetooth mouse to complete the laptop feel. lolThis is the best tablet for the money in my eyes.

** 3 Month update ***I’ve set up a reliable Dex ecosystem for my Samsung tablet, Caldigit TS4 to expand the number of ports available, wired mouse and keyboard, and a monitor (HP Omen). With this setup I can run Dex flawlessly (Dex is a built in desktop operating system that comes with Samsung smart phones and tablets)My primary uses for this device are Google workspace (you have to use the chrome browser for all features, the apps are functional, but lack a lot of editing features), web based management systems, and media.The stock speakers are great (comparable to laptop speakers, a little tinny, but generally sound great for the device class)The screen is gorgeous, and as a stand alone tablet you can absolutely use Dex with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on the fly, managing a couple windows side by side feels comfortable (not too small)Could this replace your laptop? So long as you don’t rely on specific software. Absolutely, this would be great for student or business owners on the go. Not too big to bring with you, but not too small to be unusable.This thing has exceeded my expectation for sure. Same internals as the ultra tab, smaller screen.Perfect for excel, google sheets, word processing, and when paired with mouse and keyboard is effectively functional as an ultra portable laptop.If most of your work is web based or general word processing 10/10 I’d recommend.Haven’t had any issues with lagging, overheating, or battery health.I do recommend adjusting your battery settings to prevent it from charging past 80%, and while it is convenient disabling fast charging will help preserve the battery life in the long run.

I chose the smallest of this Samsung line. it's a little bigger than most tablets, but is a perfect for, well, most everything! I'm so pleased with my choice! the snapdragon processor is fast and smooth, the new screen glass provides extra protection, for me,that's a great thing, wifi is awesome fast and no problems. love the on screen touch buttons and you barely have to tap the screen for responding, nice and sensitive! this size is very portable! this tablet can do so much more, it's like a mini laptop. Excellent blacks and the 4k is mind blowing, you can't go wrong with Samsung! When I bought mine it was a little pricy, but it will last for many years to come and won't outdated. we have a new Samsung oled 65" tv and this tablet is compatible with it and all other Samsung products.
