I hope this comparison of the Tab S9 and the Tab S9FE E was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
I bought the tab S7 FE in late 2022. Still works great and has good battery. I hope they continue to release FE editions I'm the future so I have that option when I finally need to upgrade
It's great for digital art, great for Netflix, and is pretty good for gaming, according to him and others. You can use it to stream your Switch, mobile phone, etc. Shalom. @@grayblack
Because I got great trade-ins I have an S9 ultra and an S9 FE. The FE was a little buggy but the last update seemed to correct that. It does feel slower when drawing and the updates take a lot longer with the FE. But if you can get a deal it's a great little portable device. The S9 ultra is an amazing device but I would never call it portable.
Got an FE+ alongside my Z Fold 5, if I want my 120hz beautiful amoled fix I can, use my z folds big screen, I needed a tablet for university which DEX is by far and a way the best way to do that, I prefer the power button reader, the price is insane value for the tablet itself and I love the mint colour of it so was a no brainer for me
Hey, can you talk about the relevance of Tab S7+ in 2024? Cause looking at the tab segment, its still the best value tab with large display, an Oled screen and decent enough horsepower. I just got one for my sister, it has best visuals for consuming content, is a good note taking device and has a good power overall. Plus, the pen comes included, saving on that cost. I would like to see how it is compared to the the new Samsung tabs with Oled display that start at almost double the price of S7+
I need to take notes and keep them for atleast 2 years. So there will be many notes. Which ipad or tablet ( and storage) would you suggest ? Gaming is not a concern. Budget is not a problem but want a value for money device (Student)
That’s a low bar for performance - pretty much any recent tablet would do. The Samsung ones you could always add a microsd card so you have plenty of cheap storage.
I agree 💯 with Sagi ☝🏻, and would just add, beyond just cost, ask yourself what else you'll be using the tablet for. The Samsung Galaxy Tabs and the iPad are both great for note-taking, but the display aspect ratio of each is different. Samsung tablets have a 16:10 aspect ratio, iPads are 3:2. I far prefer the Samsungs' ratio for media consumption, since it has significantly smaller "black bars" when viewing content - esp long movies. There are other differences to consider as well: With iPads, you have to step all the way up to the M1 or M2-chip 12.9" iPad Pro (mini-LED display) to get roughly the equivalent of the Galaxy Tab S9's OLED screen. As Sagi pointed out, storage quickly becomes much more $$ with iPads because they don't have the micro-SD card slot that comes standard with Galaxy Tabs. And no iPad comes with the Pencil in the box, whereas all current Galaxy tablets (FE and above) include the S-pen. Lastly, productivity-wise, I love DeX on the Galaxy Tabs; iPads have no equivalent. Perhaps iPads' biggest advantages are their stronger processors (A- or M-series), 5 years of OS updates, apps that are specifically optimized for iPad (iPadOS), and overall Resale value if you decide to sell your tablet or trade it in down the road (that said, Samsung offers generous trade-in prices on their own tablets & phones).
Personally, the ipad's screen ratio is so much better for note taking or typing documents on landscape or portrait even. If you're going for ipad and have a ton of notes I'd probably go with the 128GB+ options. Like the other commenter said, apple pencil's separate so you'll need to buy it to take notes Meanwhile on samsung, they provide a nice pen experience with the high refresh rate. The wide screen on landscape is not my thing for notetaking but if it were on portrait or the plus model on landscape then I dont mind.
I have my samsung tab A6 10.1 s pen version since 2016,.I am still using it to take notes,read text books(e books),watching and downloading movies and surf through FB and you tube for more than half of the day.Still it works absolutely fine,battery last for 2-3 days..😊😊It was a midrange device on those days,I know it is an antic now😂If you aren't a gamer even a mid range device is enough...
Between the tab s8, s9 and s9 FE, which one do you think will be the most "reliable" /stay "reliable" the longest? I got the s7 2 years ago but it started to malfunction a couple weeks ago. I got it specifically for my university studies so it's important to me that it keeps working smoothly. Warranty hasn't expired but they don't sell the s7 anymore so I might have to choose a newer model and pay the price difference. The dfference for s8 would be €50 but for the s9 more than €250 and I don't really know if it's worth that much more... S9 FE is less than I originally paid for the s7 though but I'm concerned about the performance, I don't want anything les than the s7 I'm used to😅
Well I'm back... My S7 stopped malfunctioning and was running smoothly again, so I just kept it. 10 days after warranty expired a new software-update came and when I tried updating, it got stuck in a software-loop. Now they're telling me they think the motherboard has a defect since they can't get it to work again. So my S7 tablet has had a lifespan barely 2 years and Samsung refuse to compensate me! Been 2 months of calling around but their service has been absolutely horrible. So getting the most expensive "flagship" tablet does apparently not guarantee a decent lifespan😡
I'm considering the FE for just watching video and web browsing etc when travelling. I don't game on tablets as I have a Nintendo switch for that. Will the FE be good enough for that? I have an old Galaxy Tab A and it's so slow, it's painful.
There is a £160 difference between S9FE (8GB/256GB) and S9(8GB/128GB) in where I live. Now, I am not a power user, Im just gonna use the tablet for media purposes and light office work. My concern is the tablet's longevity. Is the price difference between the two justifiable? I want something that would last for at least 5 years.
My old Tab S4 is still working well, but I found an amazing deal on a 5G S9 with slim keyboard at $400 in mint condition. At this price, even the FE is more expensive....
@@smackall69 I guess the seller wanted to sell it fast and I bargained to get the price down from 500 (which was already low) to 400 and he accepted...
I am a student who need an extra screen when studying or doing research may be taking notes some times, so which one Samsung tab is best to use in college with a budget which is not that high
That's also a deal breaker for me. Was thinking of using a tablet as a laptop replacement for school (notes and typing). Now I have to look for deals on the S9 (unlikely) or try and find an S8 which seem to be sold out everywhere...
I really want the tab s9 but tab s9 fe Is cheaper and I don't think my mother would pay for like lowest price $700 tablet but I've had this tablet, Samsung a7 an old module and I had it for 5yrs. So I really hope to get a new one on my birthday or something.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you. I have the option of buying the S9 but for just browsing the internet and watching streaming video on a big screen the S9FE has to suffice.
Help please! I’m seeking a tablet to watch lecture videos, read books, take notes, web surfing and some light gaming on Roblox. I can buy Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE for $340 USD or Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for $560 USD. I expect to keep this tablet around 3 years, will likely trade up after that. I don’t want it slowing down on me in that period of time. As I’ll be looking at the screen for long periods of time, I want to reduce eye strain/damage to eyesight. I need spill protection as I’m a klutz 😂. Which tablet do you recommend for me?
@@sonli22 I ended up getting a refurbished samsung galaxy tab s8 for $385! They are now down to around $340... I actually got the s9 first but the screen was really bothering me... then I learned that the s9 has an amoled screen that uses PWM dimming (won't explain here as you can google) but it causes eye strain and headaches to some users. I returned it for the s8 which has an lcd screen. The s8 is great for my purposes and I'm loving it for taking notes.
Preffering under the screen fingerprint sensor over the one on the side is plain stupid. Fingerprint sensors tend to become way way less responsive with the screen protector on.
Samsung's mistake was not including the display out feature on Tab S9 Fe, downgrade from Tab S7 Fe Tab a9+ 5g is better which has more RAM and dex features, but the price is cheaper
I need a tab mainly for taking notes and watch you tube. Want to know if there is any difference in writing comfort between both models. What model will suit my requirement.
Same situation here and same question. I've tested both of them recently, and I felt they're pretty much the same about sensitiveness, however, I'm not sure if I did wrong but the qualitt of the writingvis not th e same. I'm talking about the virtual pen/pencil, they're not the same
I want a tablet for college notes / games and graphic designing.... Like drawing on tab etc, are the s pens of both same? (Pressure sensitive while making strokes etc)
Do you think it is worth to get the s9 fe+ instead of the s9 fe if the prices are almost the same? For the deals that I got, the price diference between those two is like USD40 (its not a big diference when you consider the prices os the tablets in my country) and I choose the s9fe+ because it has more ram, but im still in doubt if I shoud keep it or return it and get the s9fe instead. Even though I am not going to use it for heavy tasks, I also want to be able to use it for some years without running out of ram when apps get upgraded, etc, but idk if those extra 2gb will be really useful in the future or not Obs: I know that the best options for longevity wouldn't be the fe series, but the other ones (the s9 or the s8) are a lot expansive where I live, both of them are almost the double of the price that I paid on the s9 fe+ and it wouldn't be worth it to me pay this much more bc, as I say, im not going to use it for heavy tasks
always enjoy your content. Is the S9 really that big of a difference over the S9 FE when you’re just viewing photos and videos that have been transferred from your phone? Thank you
Well even though I'm a casual user, I'll still go for the regular S9 because I use galaxy S23 as my phone so I've been used to its 120hz 2X dynamic amoled screen and its snapdragons 8 gen 2 processor.
Does the FE edition capable for designing, and is there any app on the tab to use to draw or to design stuff. Sr never use tablet before i just need advice.
Hello! I need tab for study and work. I'm looking at these tablets bc they have s pen and i'll be able to work comfortably with documents. Which one is more reasonable to take s9 or s9 FE?
U can pick S9 FE. I use it for note taking or work, and it works well. A lil buggy doesn't bother anyway. But if you want to use it as a gaming device, i recommended you to pick S9 instead.
I haven’t done that comparison yet but have compared it with the air 5 ua-cam.com/video/SSgc7dzrwFk/v-deo.html and the s9 FE vs iPad 10 ua-cam.com/video/_ncEocsH_t4/v-deo.htmlsi=1bWQ9wfJ4rOgVtMZ I hope one of those helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for watching. Dual display is connecting an external display to the tablet and then having 2 displays to use. Second screen is using a laptop or a desktop and then being able to use the tablet as an additional screen for your laptop or desktop. Hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk Oh, thank you so much!!! I understand it now, and I appreciate your quick response. 😁😇 Just to let you know, all of your videos are very helpful to me in deciding the best samsung tablet for myself Looking into the future, do you believe there might be a price drop in the future this year? Your answer is crucial to me as I'm a student and samsung student's program gives only around 50 usd as a discount. Please let me know if there any other ways I can get discounts. On second thought, I am thinking about buying a refurbished tablet. Can I know your opinion on this one too?
I wish some one gimme an advice I am a intern doctor and i like tablets so i am gonna get one and i see vedios, take many notes and play a lot . fe is like 400 $ for 6/128 S9 is about 600 $ for 8/128 Or get an ipad pro m1 used ?
Hi ! I might have been confused about DEX and using it as a second screen. im mainly going to connect tne tablet to a projector, could both be connected to the projector for presentations ?
If there would be a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE, then I wish for it to either use Dynamic AMOLED 2X or Super AMOLED screen, instead of IPS LCD. Other than that, the Tab S10 FE should have some similar specs to the Tab S9 FE, like: - 90Hz refresh rate or 120Hz refresh rate (if there is no based Tab S10 judging from the rumors) - 1440 x 2304 or 1600 x 2560 (if there is no based Tab S10 judging from the rumors) -249 PPI or 274 PPI (if there is no based Tab S10 judging from the rumors) The only thing I'm curious is what processor Samsung would use for the Tab S10 FE.
@@TechGearTalk the tab s9 (just the standard model) i recently dropped my tab s3 really bad and cracked the screen. I abused the thing really bad due to heavy use. Even the aluminium is deteriorating from the sweat of my palms haha. And beceause i had bad experiences with screen replacements i thought meh. Why not replace the whole thing with a newer model XD
The LCD screen is much much better for your eyes. Trust me , its comes a huge diffrent between lcd and led reflashing frame rate experience! If you use it for a short time like 1h. Its ok. But for hours and hours the led screen will make your eyes sufer from fatigue! so i prefer S9FE.
No, just some professional apps, for designers and content creator But believe me, you wouldn't use them as they are best for laptop not tablet Else all day to day usage apps are better in samsung
@@TechGearTalk one thing I want to ask is we know ipads are known for their longevity and that's the reason why I am not buying galaxy Tab s9+ but I like samsung's features and dex mode especially... Are galaxy flagship tablets show any sign of aging like slowing down or something.. Will they last for 5 years without any issue if I take good care
@sir_ionhard7067 If it's any help, I'll weigh in. I'm going into year 4 of owning and loving my Galaxy Tab S7 Plus (256 GB storage/8 GB RAM). Still running very strong 💪🏻 My only gripe is that back then, Samsung was only offering 3 years of OS updates - so my Tab isn't getting Android 14 nor any future versions (it's still receiving security patches). But if you understand how Android works, being "stuck" on Android 13 isn't exactly "catastrophic", because all the apps will continue to function properly as long as the app's Dev team supports them. So theoretically, I can continue enjoying the tablet until battery life/health, or overall system performance, becomes unbearably bad 😅 Apple is different because their software is much more dependent on those OS updates for apps (or programs with Mac) to work smoothly (or at ALL) longer-term. Also, My 9.7" Gen 5 iPad (2017), despite its battery seeming still strong, has been VERY laggy for a year or more now, to the point where I typically only use it for watching UA-cam videos & streaming sporting events. SO, my suggestion is -- if you're determined to buy an iPad, go with an M-series-chip-equipped model (Air or Pro) if you want the best "future-proofing" regarding performance.
Can you help me? I'm still thinking if whether I'll trade in my s9 fe plus for tab s9 considering it will cost me about $215 dollars more. I'm a university student and into a tech course, im also a video editor. I'm thinking if I should make the switch for CPU and display.
My 15 day old tab s8 wifi is having 10-15% idle battery drain ..even on airplane mode ,wifi bluetooth autosync off with most app deepsleeping. Should i get its batter replaced???
@@TechGearTalk yes everything updated .. only 2-3 addition apps installed on tab .. still i m facing this issue .. some people saying its due to. Inefficient sd8gen1 but this much idle drain is unacceptable.
Hello tech i am a student and i want to purchase it which one is better for me s9 or s9 fe. I will not use it to play games and other heavy work so which one is better.
At first the display was making me inch toward picking the regular s9, but immediately went back to FE just on the fingerprint scanner I used to have an a50 with an under display fingerprint in the past, and those were not reliable, especially in the dark Granted, it likely was improved since this was nearly years ago, but considering the fact that it was the only phone I somehow managed to crack the screen twice, and the finger print stopped working after the first replacement...it's probably best if I just go for the one with the button 😅 More reliable, and more likely to work even if I manage to break the screen again
@@magnusmagnavita I have it for two weeks and have no complains at all. I already had a S6 lite (still have, in fact). I confess I didn´t feel quite a difference on the writing with the S Pen. And the bigger display is +++, I´m loving it! Before buying, I had the chance to check on a nearby store the different sizes (S9 and S9 plus). For me, the size of the S9 is absolutely perfect. E Brasil! =)
The tablet I got is a Samsung galaxy tab A 8.0 (2019) with 8.00 display , storage 32 gb , battery capacity 5100mAh , resolution 800x1280 mah Which is better to watch movies, have a better battery life,listening to podcasts/music i cant decide which one i want for this video I want a tablet that the battery lasts longer i found the s9 fe in costco for 549.99 should i wait for lower price or should i wait for them to get the s9?
i mean for me yea i had it for a couple of years now only problem is not alot of storage tbh but overall good, i just want a new tablet because i want more storage and galaxy s9 has 128 storage i think@@novita7919
had it for a couple years I think maybe 3 or 4 years maybe even more tbh im not sure , but it only has 32 gb and its not enough storage in my opinion and thats why i wanna get s9 because it has more storage and its bigger tablet @7919
@@TechGearTalk yeah, im mainly worried about the weight and size being unconfortable to use (s9Ultra ) but that would be mainly used with keyboard as a laptop replacement so extra screen real estate might be a good idea. As you mentioned in a video im leaning to s9+ or Ultra because its a bit better future proofing with more powerful cpu and better screen. Thanks for replay! I love the style of videos and they are definetly informative, cheers!
Personally, I'd want to keep my tablet for at least 4 years, so the S9 was always the only option. Bigger RAM capacity, better display, better speakers. Surely I could buy the S9 FE+, its 12/256 version is equivalent in price to the base S9 model, I can get more storage out of the same price. But then the difference with the S9 12/256 is less than 70$, and the Snap8Gen2 is AUs ahead of the Exynos 1380
Tab s9 is worth it cause of the Oled display and higher refresh rate, most of the time you are gonna consume content on it, and in that matter, display quality matters alot, Oled and refresh rate are deal breaker. If you are leaning towards productivity and notes, FE might be for you
@@TechGearTalk I think it is a misprint. I looked the refresh rate up and every result I found was saying that the Tab S7 FE has a 60hz refresh rate. But nice video again, I really like your tablat comparisons.

There is a £160 difference between S9FE (8GB/256GB) and S9(8GB/128GB) in where I live. Now, I am not a power user, Im just gonna use the tablet for media purposes and light office work. My concern is the tablet's longevity. Is the price difference between the two justifiable? I want something that would last for at least 5 years.
I would for sure get the Tab S9 if the price is even close.
My old Tab S4 is still working well, but I found an amazing deal on a 5G S9 with slim keyboard at $400 in mint condition. At this price, even the FE is more expensive....
Incredible deal - wow!!!
@@smackall69 I guess the seller wanted to sell it fast and I bargained to get the price down from 500 (which was already low) to 400 and he accepted...
Wow where did you find it ?
Where did you get 5G version of Galaxy 9.
Galaxy tab s9 with 5g does not exist!! Only FE9 and A9 have cellular connection 😮
The most important to me that 9fe have internet connection. Going outside of WIFI area makes galaxy 9 useless to me.
Why can't you just hot spot your phone?
I am a student who need an extra screen when studying or doing research may be taking notes some times, so which one Samsung tab is best to use in college with a budget which is not that high
Probably fe plus ones!
If u look for Amazon sales they have one rn
USB-C 2.0 and no DEX Support for external display were the dealbrakers for me with the FE.
If those are features you need - that makes complete sense. What did you go with?
@@TechGearTalk i bought the Tab S9 on Black Friday for 600$
That's also a deal breaker for me. Was thinking of using a tablet as a laptop replacement for school (notes and typing).
Now I have to look for deals on the S9 (unlikely) or try and find an S8 which seem to be sold out everywhere...
You get what you pay for...
I really want the tab s9 but tab s9 fe Is cheaper and I don't think my mother would pay for like lowest price $700 tablet but I've had this tablet, Samsung a7 an old module and I had it for 5yrs. So I really hope to get a new one on my birthday or something.
Bravo, super review 👍 I'd like to know if there's a big difference between 6 and 8g ram? My personal use is web browsing and watching videos.
Thank you. There will not be a big difference. Hope that helps!
@@TechGearTalk Thank you. I have the option of buying the S9 but for just browsing the internet and watching streaming video on a big screen the S9FE has to suffice.
For those purposes - you're unlikely to notice the difference.
Just got the s9 week ago its a powerhouse with excellent display😊
AMAZING!!! So happy for you! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Is the Galaxy Tab S9 FE enough for note taking, media consumtion and MS Office work? Or should I choose Galaxy Tab S9?
Help please! I’m seeking a tablet to watch lecture videos, read books, take notes, web surfing and some light gaming on Roblox. I can buy Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE for $340 USD or Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for $560 USD. I expect to keep this tablet around 3 years, will likely trade up after that. I don’t want it slowing down on me in that period of time. As I’ll be looking at the screen for long periods of time, I want to reduce eye strain/damage to eyesight. I need spill protection as I’m a klutz 😂. Which tablet do you recommend for me?
Hello! May I ask which one you bought? 😅
@@sonli22 I ended up getting a refurbished samsung galaxy tab s8 for $385! They are now down to around $340...
I actually got the s9 first but the screen was really bothering me... then I learned that the s9 has an amoled screen that uses PWM dimming (won't explain here as you can google) but it causes eye strain and headaches to some users. I returned it for the s8 which has an lcd screen. The s8 is great for my purposes and I'm loving it for taking notes.
i got tab s9 fe and keyboard cover both in 360 dollars from samsung india store. at this price it is unbeatable.
Amazing deal!!!
Preffering under the screen fingerprint sensor over the one on the side is plain stupid. Fingerprint sensors tend to become way way less responsive with the screen protector on.
So is S9 FE enough for reading e-books, taking notes and watching movies?
Yes, it is.
Samsung's mistake was not including the display out feature on Tab S9 Fe, downgrade from Tab S7 Fe
Tab a9+ 5g is better which has more RAM and dex features, but the price is cheaper
It’ll be super interesting to see how the market responds to this.
Could you please say me the battery backup when comparing these two and which one is good!! In case of longevity
Where do you get those wallpapers??
I need a tab mainly for taking notes and watch you tube. Want to know if there is any difference in writing comfort between both models. What model will suit my requirement.
Same situation here and same question. I've tested both of them recently, and I felt they're pretty much the same about sensitiveness, however, I'm not sure if I did wrong but the qualitt of the writingvis not th e same. I'm talking about the virtual pen/pencil, they're not the same
@@Deskjet2772which one is better?
Thanks so much for such direct details review and comparison.
Hope it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
is there a big difference between tab s9 fe vs fe plus?? or is it the same?
I believe it's mostly a size difference but I haven't compared super in depth
Thanks for this content it's very helpful for me.
Glad to hear that! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Is the size of s9 fe good for note taking?
I want a tablet for college notes / games and graphic designing.... Like drawing on tab etc, are the s pens of both same? (Pressure sensitive while making strokes etc)
I need it for medical study
Lots of book reading and not for the movies but cannot decide which is better
Can you please guide
Do you think it is worth to get the s9 fe+ instead of the s9 fe if the prices are almost the same? For the deals that I got, the price diference between those two is like USD40 (its not a big diference when you consider the prices os the tablets in my country) and I choose the s9fe+ because it has more ram, but im still in doubt if I shoud keep it or return it and get the s9fe instead.
Even though I am not going to use it for heavy tasks, I also want to be able to use it for some years without running out of ram when apps get upgraded, etc, but idk if those extra 2gb will be really useful in the future or not
Obs: I know that the best options for longevity wouldn't be the fe series, but the other ones (the s9 or the s8) are a lot expansive where I live, both of them are almost the double of the price that I paid on the s9 fe+ and it wouldn't be worth it to me pay this much more bc, as I say, im not going to use it for heavy tasks
If they're priced similarly then yes
@@starblissgames ty!
When we will get to see the battery drain test of S9 tablet?
Safe to say i can notice a difference between the tab s3 and this? Lol ive been out the market for awhile
"Agressive tail" 😃
It’s true 😂🤣
How much does the battery drain per hour while connected to the internet? My s9 tablet's battery drops to 14% per hour😢
always enjoy your content.
Is the S9 really that big of a difference over the S9 FE when you’re just viewing photos and videos that have been transferred from your phone?
Thank you
No
where can I find those wallpapers 😢😢
Well even though I'm a casual user, I'll still go for the regular S9 because I use galaxy S23 as my phone so I've been used to its 120hz 2X dynamic amoled screen and its snapdragons 8 gen 2 processor.
Does the FE edition capable for designing, and is there any app on the tab to use to draw or to design stuff. Sr never use tablet before i just need advice.
Whare can I get those wallpapers?
Hello! I need tab for study and work. I'm looking at these tablets bc they have s pen and i'll be able to work comfortably with documents. Which one is more reasonable to take s9 or s9 FE?
U can pick S9 FE. I use it for note taking or work, and it works well. A lil buggy doesn't bother anyway. But if you want to use it as a gaming device, i recommended you to pick S9 instead.
Where do you get the wallpapers?
The place where I live you can buy tab s9(8/128) and iPad 10(4/256) for the same price. Which one you could suggest for a long term(student usages)
I haven’t done that comparison yet but have compared it with the air 5
ua-cam.com/video/SSgc7dzrwFk/v-deo.html and the s9 FE vs iPad 10 ua-cam.com/video/_ncEocsH_t4/v-deo.htmlsi=1bWQ9wfJ4rOgVtMZ I hope one of those helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
8:19 Can I please know what the difference is between dual display feature and the second screen one?
Thank you for watching. Dual display is connecting an external display to the tablet and then having 2 displays to use. Second screen is using a laptop or a desktop and then being able to use the tablet as an additional screen for your laptop or desktop. Hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk Oh, thank you so much!!! I understand it now, and I appreciate your quick response. 😁😇 Just to let you know, all of your videos are very helpful to me in deciding the best samsung tablet for myself Looking into the future, do you believe there might be a price drop in the future this year? Your answer is crucial to me as I'm a student and samsung student's program gives only around 50 usd as a discount. Please let me know if there any other ways I can get discounts. On second thought, I am thinking about buying a refurbished tablet. Can I know your opinion on this one too?
I wish some one gimme an advice
I am a intern doctor and i like tablets so i am gonna get one and i see vedios, take many notes and play a lot .
fe is like 400 $ for 6/128
S9 is about 600 $ for 8/128
Or get an ipad pro m1 used ?
Is there an upcoming battery test for these tablets?
Yes!
How do you compare the displays between S9 and S9FE ? Are these too close in terms of brightness and outdoor experience?
For that - they are fairly close.
Hi ! I might have been confused about DEX and using it as a second screen. im mainly going to connect tne tablet to a projector, could both be connected to the projector for presentations ?
Nop3
What about xiaomi pad 6? Which is better and affordable?
If there would be a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE, then I wish for it to either use Dynamic AMOLED 2X or Super AMOLED screen, instead of IPS LCD.
Other than that, the Tab S10 FE should have some similar specs to the Tab S9 FE, like:
- 90Hz refresh rate or 120Hz refresh rate (if there is no based Tab S10 judging from the rumors)
- 1440 x 2304 or 1600 x 2560 (if there is no based Tab S10 judging from the rumors)
-249 PPI or 274 PPI (if there is no based Tab S10 judging from the rumors)
The only thing I'm curious is what processor Samsung would use for the Tab S10 FE.
Hi! Which is better for you?
S8 plus vs S9 fe plus
I'm not sure
s8 if its the same price as The fe
Which one is better for note taking for University students (Math)?
or should I wait for Tab S 10 and its fe?
Both are equal in terms of note taking.. you won't really notice any difference. Suggetion: go for FE if ur major is note taking and drawing stuffs.
I would save money and get the FE. You can easily take notes on both.
Thank you so much for replying ☺️
Finally found a tab that might be a good upgrade for my aging tab s3. 😂
Nice! Which one?
@@TechGearTalk the tab s9 (just the standard model) i recently dropped my tab s3 really bad and cracked the screen. I abused the thing really bad due to heavy use. Even the aluminium is deteriorating from the sweat of my palms haha. And beceause i had bad experiences with screen replacements i thought meh. Why not replace the whole thing with a newer model XD
Can you connect the FE version to an exterrnal display?
Thanks for watching. No - only the flagship models. It’s not available with the FE versions this year.
Great Video channel.... thanks!!
Oh wow - thank you so much. I appreciate you being part of the channel.
hii do you have future update info about thin edges tablet/ipad? i'm looking for one but i'm tired of thick edges screen in 2024
The LCD screen is much much better for your eyes. Trust me , its comes a huge diffrent between lcd and led reflashing frame rate experience! If you use it for a short time like 1h. Its ok. But for hours and hours the led screen will make your eyes sufer from fatigue! so i prefer S9FE.
Is there any huge difference in apps in samsung tablets and ipads?
No, just some professional apps, for designers and content creator
But believe me, you wouldn't use them as they are best for laptop not tablet
Else all day to day usage apps are better in samsung
Mostly the iPad has better creator-specific apps. But you can accomplish things on both
@@TechGearTalk one thing I want to ask is we know ipads are known for their longevity and that's the reason why I am not buying galaxy Tab s9+ but I like samsung's features and dex mode especially... Are galaxy flagship tablets show any sign of aging like slowing down or something.. Will they last for 5 years without any issue if I take good care
@@Gun_plotarmour I also feel like that
@sir_ionhard7067 If it's any help, I'll weigh in. I'm going into year 4 of owning and loving my Galaxy Tab S7 Plus (256 GB storage/8 GB RAM). Still running very strong 💪🏻
My only gripe is that back then, Samsung was only offering 3 years of OS updates - so my Tab isn't getting Android 14 nor any future versions (it's still receiving security patches).
But if you understand how Android works, being "stuck" on Android 13 isn't exactly "catastrophic", because all the apps will continue to function properly as long as the app's Dev team supports them. So theoretically, I can continue enjoying the tablet until battery life/health, or overall system performance, becomes unbearably bad 😅
Apple is different because their software is much more dependent on those OS updates for apps (or programs with Mac) to work smoothly (or at ALL) longer-term.
Also, My 9.7" Gen 5 iPad (2017), despite its battery seeming still strong, has been VERY laggy for a year or more now, to the point where I typically only use it for watching UA-cam videos & streaming sporting events.
SO, my suggestion is -- if you're determined to buy an iPad, go with an M-series-chip-equipped model (Air or Pro) if you want the best "future-proofing" regarding performance.
Can you help me? I'm still thinking if whether I'll trade in my s9 fe plus for tab s9 considering it will cost me about $215 dollars more. I'm a university student and into a tech course, im also a video editor. I'm thinking if I should make the switch for CPU and display.
If you need it than go for it but I don't think university students have time for full on gaming and video editing 😅 I'm in same situation as of you😊
@@suhanisingh4899 aight, thanks bro!
@@mejji3279 Anya🙂
If the s7+ and s9 fe are the same price, which would be better? Learning to s7+ because of amoled screen
If you care about update, go for s9 Fe. S7+ no longer received updates, if i am not mistaken plus that also old gen processor.
Thanks ❤ I bought the FE 😊
Can you do the 9fe vs the tab s6?
What is the green x-ray thing
My 15 day old tab s8 wifi is having 10-15% idle battery drain ..even on airplane mode ,wifi bluetooth autosync off with most app deepsleeping.
Should i get its batter replaced???
That’s really strange. Everything updated?
@@TechGearTalk yes everything updated .. only 2-3 addition apps installed on tab .. still i m facing this issue .. some people saying its due to. Inefficient sd8gen1 but this much idle drain is unacceptable.
Thanks❤
Hello tech i am a student and i want to purchase it which one is better for me s9 or s9 fe.
I will not use it to play games and other heavy work so which one is better.
At first the display was making me inch toward picking the regular s9, but immediately went back to FE just on the fingerprint scanner
I used to have an a50 with an under display fingerprint in the past, and those were not reliable, especially in the dark
Granted, it likely was improved since this was nearly years ago, but considering the fact that it was the only phone I somehow managed to crack the screen twice, and the finger print stopped working after the first replacement...it's probably best if I just go for the one with the button 😅
More reliable, and more likely to work even if I manage to break the screen again
Thank you so much for this review. I'll definitely get the S9. 🙂
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Do you think its size is good for using the s pen?
@@magnusmagnavita I have it for two weeks and have no complains at all. I already had a S6 lite (still have, in fact). I confess I didn´t feel quite a difference on the writing with the S Pen. And the bigger display is +++, I´m loving it! Before buying, I had the chance to check on a nearby store the different sizes (S9 and S9 plus). For me, the size of the S9 is absolutely perfect. E Brasil! =)
Will old school runescape and runescape 3 run perfect on Tab S9 FE?
I got the s9 for 2 big reasons:
Quad Speaker
Amoled.
I got the fe+ cuz of 2 big reasons:
Literally half the price
Financial literacy
Where can i find that wallpaper?
I think s9fe plus is also a better deal when compared with s9 plus. Though, I love amoled but s9 plus seems too expensive.
Working on that comparison right now! Thank you for the input.
@@TechGearTalk thanks for your reply, love your videos..
The tablet I got is a Samsung galaxy tab A 8.0 (2019) with 8.00 display , storage 32 gb , battery capacity 5100mAh , resolution 800x1280 mah
Which is better to watch movies, have a better battery life,listening to podcasts/music i cant decide which one i want for this video
I want a tablet that the battery lasts longer
i found the s9 fe in costco for 549.99 should i wait for lower price or should i wait for them to get the s9?
Does the samsung tab a series last long?
i mean for me yea i had it for a couple of years now only problem is not alot of storage tbh but overall good, i just want a new tablet because i want more storage and galaxy s9 has 128 storage i think@@novita7919
had it for a couple years I think maybe 3 or 4 years maybe even more tbh im not sure , but it only has 32 gb and its not enough storage in my opinion and thats why i wanna get s9 because it has more storage and its bigger tablet @7919
Would anyone here recomend the s9ultra for note taking and reading PDF files? Or I would be better off with s9+ s0+FE? Thanks
The ultra is amazing if you want the larger size and have the budget. But both of the other options would work and are a lot less expensive.
@@TechGearTalk yeah, im mainly worried about the weight and size being unconfortable to use (s9Ultra ) but that would be mainly used with keyboard as a laptop replacement so extra screen real estate might be a good idea. As you mentioned in a video im leaning to s9+ or Ultra because its a bit better future proofing with more powerful cpu and better screen. Thanks for replay! I love the style of videos and they are definetly informative, cheers!
TGT.. folks want these wallpapers. pls share
Personally, I'd want to keep my tablet for at least 4 years, so the S9 was always the only option. Bigger RAM capacity, better display, better speakers. Surely I could buy the S9 FE+, its 12/256 version is equivalent in price to the base S9 model, I can get more storage out of the same price. But then the difference with the S9 12/256 is less than 70$, and the Snap8Gen2 is AUs ahead of the Exynos 1380
Any one tell Mee see the video 2:46 mint and what is this this is a xray
Oled is healthier option for your eyes than LCD
i am gonna buy the S9 FE
How can I get the same wallpaper ??😁😁❤
Im also searching
So it's like this.
S9 - power user
FE - casual user
For the most part. But also longevity S9. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Tab s9 is worth it cause of the Oled display and higher refresh rate, most of the time you are gonna consume content on it, and in that matter, display quality matters alot, Oled and refresh rate are deal breaker.
If you are leaning towards productivity and notes, FE might be for you
Galaxy Tab S9(FE)= Android 13-14(ONE UI 5.1.1 - 6) and S9 = Android 13 only
I want to buy but I don't know s9 or ultra
See if this helps

Samsung tab is hanging too much after using sometimes.
What about AI features?
Apple miss that part when they didn’t add IP68 on their tablets. Samsung is winning
That protection is a really nice feature to have for sure. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏🏻.
1:20 Isn´t it 60hz and not 50hz?
On the Samsung website they list it at 50Hz - so I used that info. Could be a misprint.
@@TechGearTalk I think it is a misprint. I looked the refresh rate up and every result I found was saying that the Tab S7 FE has a 60hz refresh rate. But nice video again, I really like your tablat comparisons.
Battery drain test please 🙏
Coming soon. Promise.
@@TechGearTalk thanks bro
S9 is good for photoshop? Is there anyone try it?
