Team IPad 🍎 or Galaxy 🌌 👀 Hey, guys! 2 Talking points to mention:
- Editing videos on the Tab S9 Ultra is a smooth experience! Exporting a bit slow compared to recent ipads (like 2 or 3 minute difference. Not a big, real world difference)
- Galaxy AI works just as well here as it does on the S24 Ultra/Fold 5 like ive discussed in previous videos.
Let me know if you have any questions!

What portable folding keyboard are you using?
-San Francisco fan girl
How's the experience of carrying a 14 inch device on a day to day basis and what accessories or cover you use ? tab 7+ user.
I use the Tab S9 Ultra as my laptop as a pastor. I also preach from it by casting my screen to our the main screens in our sanctuary. This thing has completely changed how I work. I couldn't find another device to do what this thing does. It's reliable, holds a steady charge, is compatible with almost everything, and is portable enough. I'm sold and cannot go back to Windows or iOS. Thanks for keeping it real, brother! We appreciate you.
I also preach! I use an ipad now but I'll be switching to the tab s9 ultra some day. What software do you use to cast it? Like for me now I mirror my iPad to the projectors using an apple tv.
Glad to see fellow pastors share about tech :)
using an ipad pro partly because it is a second screen to my workhorse which is a macbook and then the apps. But using a sammy phone, i appreciate the tab s9's screen, customizability, spen, and dex functionality.
Does it have a presenter's view for PPT? Also a pastor btw.
@@GoOutdoorsMore5420 a small reccomendation: samsung will probably announce the tab s10 series some time in july. That will also mean, that the prices for tab s9 are gonna drop, plus hou have more choice in case you want to get a tab s10 instead. So I strongly recommend waiting till july before you get a new tablet.
@@louepaglinawan8127I am using Tab S7 Plus for teaching also in Church. It changes the way you teach. Don't use PPT slides, instead export all of your ppt into PDF formats and use the built in app called Write on PDF for teaching.
No need for white board anymore. Live annotation on your slide is A WIN for me personally. If you need new slides you can just pres the button on the S pen while double tap the pen into the screen, voile new note appears. Cannot teach without it again ❤️🔥
I use my tab s9 ultra for my work with clients, school, recreation, and creativity. I LOVE this machine!
As a Buddhist, I used my Tab S9 Ultra to study, take picture and draw recipes. I also Date a young beautiful girl whom I'm gonna marry this winter
nobody cares about your religon lil bro. grow up
What does being a buddhist have to do with those things? Lol. Do you study buddhist teachings? Do you use any specific apps or anything, or just youtube and the internet?
@@TellurdogIsayhi nope. nothing Buddhist related in my Tab
then why you mentioned "being a Buddhist" i mean wth
Because he can; it's his comment, so why are y'all worried about it? It's not that serious.
My brooooo, I just got mine in the mail yesterday haha. Your timing is impeccable, thank you.
CJ! Great to see you man and LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO This thing is a BEAST!
I hope you're loving it!
Galaxy Tabs are the best on the market. Other companies still struggling with a native calculator app
The calculator app 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That comment, with the MLK middle finger has me cracking up hahahaha.
But the Galaxy Tabs are absolutely beast devices!
I mean clearly incorrect. I'm a tab ultra user too but to say that other companies (Apple) are struggling with a calculator app is incorrect. There's a difference between struggling to do something and refusing to. They're two very different things.
Have viewed several reviews on the Tab9 Ultra and you have kept it real for people wanting to know how well it works. Specifications I can read, don't need them read to me. Appreciate you taking your time to give this review, just what I was looking for, everyday use. Thank you Sir! 5 STARS
I think Samsung is the new leader. They treat us like an adult.
One of the most complete and honest reviews that I have seen so far. Most reviews focus so much on comparison to 🍎 but you stuck to the topic at hand instead of constantly bring up the competition. Subscribing as well as recommending your page to family and friends.
Another great video in the books. A Tab S9+ user here, also; I have iPad 12.9. I don't regret switching to the Tab S9+ at all. There's just so much more you can do with Android. I just wish the apps on Android were as polished as the apps on Apple. That makes a world of difference.
Another Banger my bro. Been using this tablet since the beginning, and it's the best tech I've ever used. It does everything i need it to do. As far as the notifications go, i get my notifications by my flashing flashlight. Lol. Keep up the great work and take care.
Ty the 🐐! It's amazing! Long overdue for a review on my end.
And heck yes, it does absolutely everything. Gaming? Check. Media? Check. Multitasking and productivity? Check.
All encompassing, powerhouse device!
And I appreciate you 👊 Hope you're having a great day also!
As a Tab S9Ultra user, I absolutely love its 14.6-inch screen; the display quality is astonishing. Dex and AI features are incredibly helpful as well. I prefer using fingerprint to unlock the tab, but Tab S9Ultra can only store 3 fingerprints, which seems a bit limited. Also, I wish S Pen had a rubber cap on the end without the nib. It would allow for using it to swipe and scroll on the screen as a substitute for fingers, preventing the screen from getting dirty😀
Great review, thank you for keeping it simple and to the point. I do have a question though...How do this compare to the MS Surface Pro 9 tablet? I got one issued at work for business and am thinking of getting one of my own, but I am really liking these new SAMSUNG tablets. Any advice is appreciated.
a new subscriber right now. just want to say your video is amazing. i love my S9 Ultra and happy to see an android fan like myself. want to ask, when you are outside, what kind of microphone do you use to have such a clean sound.?
Great review- Thank you
You deserve much much more followers tbh
Thanks for the video on this! This will be my next tablet.
Absolutely! A review for this is LOOOONG overdue haha!
When are you getting it?
@@David.AVelez not to sure. Whenever my iPad dies. Which won't be long because my child abuses it daily 🫠🤣
Top quality content and presentation..you should have millions of subs but the problem is the tech yt coverage is so saturated with great channels that it's really hard for new ones to grow
David, as your subscriptor and follower I am always satisfied about your great quality content videos. This one, is amazing too. As a lawyer and professor I am needing a new tablet, my iPad Pro 2019 needs a replacement and you convinced me about the Galaxy Tab Ultra. Thank you for your videos! Keep it up!
Thank you so much, Manuel! I really appreciate the love and kind words 🤗
And that's super cool that you're a lawyer and professor! Great work! I hope the Tab S9 Ultra is able to do everything you need it to! (I think it will 😁)
Onward we go!
As a Samsung "fanboy" we need proof that you've switched from Apple to Samsung.
Love your content
I recently acquired this device. Initially, I was anticipating the release of the new iPad, however, the significant price difference compelled me to reconsider my options. Historically, I have utilized Samsung Note devices (currently the S series Ultras) as my primary phone and an iPad as my tablet. Nevertheless, upon evaluating my actual requirements, rather than mere desires, I have narrowed down my choices to two brands. Realistically, I could manage with a budget of $1600, but I managed to obtain this device for less than $1000. With additional effort and patience, I could have potentially found an even lower price. Nonetheless, I am content with my purchase. The device closely resembles my phone in terms of functionality. Currently, I am exploring its full range of capabilities. It is worth noting that Apple optimizes its applications more effectively, which was an anticipated aspect of this transition. I have a 14-day return policy, so I am still evaluating whether this device will adequately replace my iPad or if the additional investment in the iPad is warranted. Overall, I appreciate the positive long-term assessment provided in the review.
Btw, AI responses make me sound so smart. Lol
I know this is not the relevant video but your reviews on te fold 5 helped me make up My mind
I ended up buying it nowthat it has all the Galaxy Al features.
super powerful and use ful reviews
Thank you for making this review! Been on the ipad for a long time, considering to try out an android tablet for productivity-
Fantastic review! Do you have any app recommendations for business owners? My hubby and I just started a business, and we wanted to know what apps and programs to use to run our business more efficiently. I noticed you said something about signing off on contracts- that sounds interesting! What apps would you recommend for something like that? :)
Also, do you recommend getting this if you have a fold? Do you think they compliment one-another well, or do you not really need both and it’s just more of a preference?
Lovely review💯✨️
What is the keyboard are you using in this video? Thanks
Well, ya'll I've finished my semester and passed my classes. Thank the good Lord.
LETS GOOOOOOO! Great job, Ken! Summer classes now or do you get to enjoy the break?
@@David.AVelez I'll see about those next week. My brain needs to rest.
Great review
I am thinking about getting one, for daily use and travel. When i travel, it's usually with my wife. How is the Ultra with sharing the wireless with two sets of earbuds?
Tab S9 here and enjoy the size and build quality. Today I received a document I needed to sign. I was a little flustered, then remembered my Tab and S-Pen. Done!
Still have my iPad and Apple Pencil, but they're regulated to Procreate 😅
Great review months later.
Hey, Kevin! Great to hear your loving the Tab S9 also! Amazing devices!
And haha, how good did that feel! Having the slab of tech just for the job 😁
Procreate is a great app!
I had an iPad Pro, then a Samsung Tab S7+ ... I picked up the Tab S9 Ultra when it came out and just absolutely love it. It's one of the reasons i traded in my Z Fold 4 for the S24U. Great review as always
Great to see you again, Gillette!
Awesome to hear that you're loving it also - Samsung truly did a remarkable job with it. Not a whole lot to nitpick about!
How are you liking the S24 over the Fold?
@@David.AVelez I like it because of the cameras ... If they did make a Fold with the S24 ULTRA's cameras, I would switch back in a heartbeat. I'm hoping that the Fold Ultra rumors are real
I'm glad you tried out samsung it's a better product than Apple I tried the 15 pro max last month and went straight back to my samsung series apple is a cool product but samsung gives a better user experience and options
Advantages:
1. Good multitasking capability, with the ability to open multiple app windows simultaneously.
2. High maximum screen brightness (93 nits), allowing comfortable outdoor use even under bright sunlight.
3. Smooth and responsive writing experience with the S Pen, along with plenty of easily accessible command and shortcut options.
4. Fast and accurate facial recognition, even in various lighting conditions.
5. Exceptional sound quality from the speakers, providing an immersive multimedia experience.
6. Good battery life, with 45W fast charging capability.
7. Good performance of Samsung Dex, especially in its classic layout when connected to an external monitor.
Disadvantages:
1. Unsatisfactory haptic feedback, feeling somewhat cheap and with suboptimal positioning.
2. Relatively long battery charging time, despite having fast charging capability, full charging takes significant time.
3. Suboptimal use of the vibration motor, with a cheap-sounding vibration and uncomfortable positioning when in use.
I see you play rocket league my good sir😌👌🏾. Love the vids bro
I have a tab s7+ and imma be honest Samsung dex and it's multi tasking is soo good even with that battery life and I have a oppo phone and windows laptop yet that connectivity is soo much better i most likely will be upgrading but not sure whether to wait for the 10 or just get the 9 when prices drop when the new one comes out
I get it, life happens and work/partner/etc. deserves time as well but this video was 2 days late brodie lol I don't know how many times I refreshed my YT to see if a new video popped up. Now that we got that out the way, I have the Tab S7+ LTE and S8 Ultra and both are amazing tablets! I threw away paper/pencil and use the Tabs strictly for note taking for school and work. Consuming content on top of that is next level. I do suggest having a significant other when using this device in bed as you can have them prop the tab for you as its so large (no diddy). The thing with all this tech is that they ALL are amazing, but you have to figure out how to incorporate them into your lifestyle and that is when you are able to unlock the TRUE potential of these great devices.
Hey, man! The first part of your comment cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣 My bad man, my bad! When YT becomes the full time thing, it'll be easier to pump out every week, 365 days 😆 I'm doing my best!
I'll have to put Maria on the back burner for a little bit 🤔
The no diddy 💀 Never diddy! Hahahaha.
And 10000%, I agree! They're all awesome nowadays, it's about finding what works best for you in multiple use cases.
I'm glad you're have such a great time with it!
I just bought the tab s9 ultra, I come from the tab s8 ultra, and I'm still delighted with its size, and now more with its battery I feel that with the LTPO screen now it consumes much less the screen and I can have the highest brightness in situations that had it low to save battery
Great video! 🎉
Thanks Dr. Atom! Hopefully others find it as such also 😁
May I ask what you're a Doctor of?
Are you sure that the fast charging feature is turned on in the settings? That doesn't seem right. I do know these devices slow charge from 0-20% and 85-100% because fast charging puts serious strain on the battery. Even using your tablet between those percentages puts a strain on it.
What is the name of the tablet stand in your video?
I hate tablets with a notch or camera cut hole. A tablet should never have a notch or a cut hole. This trend must stop.
I've watched all your videos comparing the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but I'm still unsure which one to choose
8:38 A MACtion fan, truly a gentleman of fine taste
Still loving my S9 Ultra. Mostly use it for watching videos these days. Vibration and haptics are hit and miss for me
I've had it for 2 weeks and I'm currently using my phone to watch this video 😭 hoping I'll be using it more when school starts
Which keyboard are you using ???😅
recommended best screen protector for tab S9 ultra
Is it possible to replace my old laptop with this device if mainly what I do is browsing web, replying to e-mails, watching movies, sometimes have to make basic photo editing, sort some files, record screen during important lectures?
It is possible, especially if doing just the basics, especially with Dex it feels like a PC experienc, to an extent. Also check out additional videos/articles/forums on photo editing using Tab S9 as certain apps will have limited capabilities compared to the pc or even iOS counterparts.
You'll also want to invest in a seperate keyboard cover or configure to use an existing Bluetooth keyboard and add a case or stand to prop up the device.
I'm using the Tab s8 ultra for study, it's way more than enough, tons of features I don't even have to use. For media consumption this screen is one of the best thanks to it's size and ratio.
its a great device.... software is great... but some apps are missing: Blackmagic Davinci Resolve, Affinity Photo & co...
so i stay with my ipad pro and using z fold 5 als daily driver phone with all the great samsung stuff...
Great call on those apps missing! I especially found myself missing it when doing an editing/export test.
Lumafusion is alright, but not quite like the others you mentioned.
Responding to you on my Fold 5 😁
Your brain can only tell you about the apps the you need that's only iPad but it won't tell you about the ones that other people need that's not on iPad, you all think the same.
Screen burning issue?
Bros voice is majestic
where do you buy that kick stand?
Hi there! It's a UGreen stand, super affordable!

And it has a lot of angle points which I like
what about using the tab as 2nd screen? and what are the limitations when using it as 2nd screen?
I use Glidex from Asus for 2nd screen for pc, WiFi or usb cable work gear for me.
I had a tab S7, but I sold it for the iPad Mini 6. The Mini is like the perfect size and the one thing android is missing is developer support. I got it for myself as a graduation gift and I did enjoy it. It was weird being a portrait size, but it was an excellent media machine. However, UA-cam would constantly crash and wouldn’t function properly and the editing apps I would use to edit my word documents were just inconsistent and stuttered. Idk if the app ecosystem has gotten better, but once released the Mini 6, I was sold. Sold the Tab S7 and broke even on a mini 6. Haven’t regretted the decision and I have had a better experience on my iPad. More developer support, but the eco system of being able to airdrop and apples base PDF viewer and being able to edit on there was just superior to what Samsung offered from memory. Oh and with Dex, it was cool, but there were compatibility issues with my college programs so I could never use it as a laptop replacement. However, if you like android; they are solid devices.
Womp womp
I have the Tab S9 and the iPad Mini 6. I like the form factor of the Mini 6, but I have had many problems with it. I live in a hot/humid climate, and in summer it overheats and freezes. I also find that many apps are not optimized for the Mini, and the keyboard is lacking. So I use the Tab S9 most of the time, but wish that Samsung made a high-quality 8" equivalent of the Mini.
@@ljacobs357 interesting. Almost every single app I use is optimized for my mini. Even my random banking app that didn’t work on android tablets.
What apps are you using that are not optimized?
I have the regular tab s9 and it is not bright enough to see well outside
Dude are you related to young don? Yall sound the same and look related 😂. I cant unsee it every video
I want to try to wait out until I get me the table S10 Ultra
I'm not sure what Anne is referring to as far as "micro stutters" - I just got done watching this video on my own Tab S8 Ultra which I haven't had anyway problems with in the 1.5 years I've had it. When the Tab S9 Ultra came out, I didn't feel like the upgrades were enough of an improvement for me trade my Tab S8 Ultra in for a Tab S9 Ultra. The waterproofing for the Tab S9 Ultra is comical; I love how they advertised a woman sitting by a water fountain with her Tab S9 Ultra. Anyways, I'm like never around a bunch of water with my tablet. 🤷♂️
Also, I didn't feel like the upgrade from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 was enough of a monumental difference (I have the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 which has the Gen 2 processor, and I appreciate it; but wouldn't run out and buy a new tablet for it). And for context, I have the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage; 16GB of RAM on a tablet seemed overkill.
What about 6.1 update
I have the tab s8 plus and I love it❤ good video 👍
I hate the Tan S9 vibrations. Can they be completely disabled?
I do also 😭
I actually haven't looked into that, funny enough! I'll check!
Just checked, yes you can!
Settings App,
Then Sounds and Vibrations
And from there you can toggle them off!
@@David.AVelez I'll check... I never think to do it but, yeah, they're bad. 😂
@@jebaker2 I don't understand how a device this premium has vibration motors that bad 😭
@@David.AVelez 💯
Is it worth it to buy this Tab S9 ultra now or wait for S10 ultra? I am a med-student and I need a Samsung tab asap to study (I love the Samsung eco system and all other devices are Samsung)
I'd recommend the Tab S9 Ultra, it's already such a phenomenal tablet. According to leaks, the tab S10 ultra won't be released until Early 2025 with the S25 series. I don't believe the S10 ultra will be much of an upgrade over the S9 ultra which is literally already a beautiful beast of a tablet.
More deals should be rolling out for May and June for the tab s9 to clear stock for the tab s10.
S10 is coming out in feb 2025 . Every 18 months for their s line tablet. I got the s8 ultra for $699.
@@tiffanyt9329 It's going for even cheaper now.
This guy’s vibration on his tab is broken. Mine doesn’t make that noise
Really!
What does yours sound like?
There were a few people in the comments that agreed the vibrations sound and feel bad but it's definitely possible a few faulty units are going around
Mine also works perfectly.
Nice
YOURE nice, JezzyCrazyTv 😁 🤗
Turn on Dolby atmosphere on that tablet
OH! Huge oversight on my part, thank you!
Just got my s9 ultra today, with keyboard from samsung (but i hate it cuz it keeps falling off with little push) so imma stick with the keyboard backcover only and maybe just leave the keyboard at office for office work only lol
oh. and it is HUGe. i mean it is so huge i don't think i can hold it in hands long time LOL
I - products are hyped
Do you mean overhyped?
I’m torn between this and the new iPads soon to be announced 🙈 had the s8 ultra but it had so many micro stutters compared to my iPad pro
Hey, Anne! I don't blame you, that's a hard choice to make!
That's SO interesting that your S8 Uktra had microstutters! I haven't experienced that on the S9 Ultra 🤔 (...yet.... hopefully never 😂)
What do you use your tablet for?
I'm always torn between both currently using tab s9ultra and s24u great eco system. I also have the 15pm. The iPad does have some specific ios creator focused apps but I don't use that. Also the stylus comes with it and you can use any waccom stylus if you want which is a plus. For me it's a better all around device rather than a singular focused device like the iPad. And let's not even talk about for entertainment and media my goodness. I feel I'd rather have a new MacBook air rather than an iPad because iPad os is very limiting and has a terrible file management system as where the tab s9 series and samaung in general has a more native file system. Stage manager is nice on the iPad however only works when connected to a display. Feels like a waste of real estate not being able to use it solely on the iPad like dex does on the s9u.
I use my tab s9u for media, art and my sheet music. Does everything I need and well.
@@David.AVelezI’m a med student so mostly for notetaking and Reading. I don’t game on it but Watch a lot of Netflix and also read manga 😊 The micro stutters often happened when navigating the ui, switching between apps and dragging a Photo into the notes app. This also sometimes happens on the iPad when I have a lot of apps open but it is rare. Glad to hear you haven’t experienced any stutters on the tab s9 ultra 😊
@@kaiichinose9590I also have both the s24 ultra and 15 pro Max, so I wanted to try the Samsung ecosystem experience between the tablet and Phone, but my previous experience on the tab s8 ultra is holding me back a bit 🙈
I saw hsr on hr phone u ok? 0:12
As a Tab S5e User,
i feel a *caveman like ape* compared to the Tab S9 Ultra.
S9 ultra is good but main problem is oversized!
12-13 inch is best for a tablet
It is INSANELY large 🤣 Definitely too big for most people but I love it for my personal usage!
There's s9+ for that size
Disney lost the rights to Mickey Mouse so you’re good😭
I think that version of mickey mouse is copy right free now. But im still rocking my tab s8 ultra. I don't think I'll ever need a reason to upgrade until this thing dies. Id def consider a folding one but for now there's no need.
LI hope this year you hit 50k!!
Oh thank goodness 🤣 I didn't want to get stricken by Big Disney 😂😂
And I don't blame you! I know people with the 8U and they love it still also. This is my first Galaxy Tab experience since the much earlier ones, so definitely blown away. It does everything (much like you S8 does also I'm sure 😁)
And thanks, man! I'll keep grinding, and we'll see what happens!
iPad OS is broken
Why are you wearing slides with socks on outdoors? 😂
I live an enigmatic life 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@David.AVelez I do the same lol, even around my house
1:46 dont waste money bro on wedding , keep money hard times are comming.
I bet this guys main tablet is an iPad
Hi, there! I actually don't use the ipad much anymore these days just because the Macbook takes cares of everything for me from a production standpoint and my Galaxy Fold5 takes care of the other stuff.
The IPad Pro was great for a while back then, though!
Dude 2 min into the video of 10 min
and you are still talking about ipad or apple - lol is this a apple video or samsung im not sure.
Haha, I'm just trying to give some context and relating it to my ipad experience for you guys.
But fair point!
I can guarantee it's a Galaxy video 😆
Torn between this and the S9+ Any advice anyone? Thanks
S9+ if you want something more portable and able to hold in hand.
Ultra if you're mainly going to use on desk or in more stationary positions, want the extra screen real estate for multitasking, or want the keyboard cover with baclit keys.
Goto bestbuy they should have it on display. I have the s8 ultra, and I love it. It's is the size of a mini TV.
This.
@@reverend_wintondupreethank you ❤ I'm gonna use it for drawing on a desk so prob the ultra
