Nice. I always search for a review of something and open about 10 tabs and watch all of them. But, you covered everything in this video and saved me a bunch of time! Thank you!
I've just stumbled on your review and I'm very impressed that you prepared for it and was using the tablet for a month already before giving the review. It's refreshing to see this type of reviews rather than the usual unboxing reviews. 👌
Been looking at the S9 FE for a while. Your review was a great overall look at it. Thanks.
Oh my god. I was planning to save for a Galaxy Tab, now after looking at this, I'm ITCHING to get one!
i just got this myself on a sale this week and i am more than happy. It is actually little bit too good for my basic note taking needs :D
I recently got this tab and can u please tell me that is it safe to use the pen without the case or it is necessary to use the cover for the pen tip??
Thank you! Perfect video... 💯
Thank you for your informative video. After watching your video I bought the tablet on the Samsung Shop app for $350 + taxes. The price changed from $449 to $349 when I went to check out. That was a nice surprise. I already have a bluetooth keyboard, so I just bought a sturdy case off of Amazon.
Thanks again!! 😊
Great review! My cellphone company are offering this as an add-on to the S24 Ultra contract, for peanuts. I have never heard of it and your video was first in the UA-cam search results.
Just got mine can't wait
Awesome review. Got one coming. Nice to know what I can expect.
Nice review! I've been enjoying this tablet for over a month now, and I agree this thing is surprisingly good. I'm glad I've swapped this for my old Xiaomi Pad 5. This also came with a free brick charger and the one piece version of the slim keyboard cover. If you want a Tab S9 but too constrained on the budget, this is your next choice. You're not losing all that much, except maybe the DeX version where you can export your display to an external monitor.
What other options do I have if I want to display the content on an external monitor or a TV? I know its not possible via cable but I guess it should be possible wireless, right? Does it require any special App or it works with any conventional monitor?
@STEPHdj92 If via wireless, you can via Chromecast to a TV or perhaps a smart monitor. The USB port is 2.0, so there's really not much option on a wired connection.
@@ZeroEightTwenty thanks for your response. So there is no way to stream to a normal computer monitor if it is not smart?
How about xiaomi pad 6
Hi does your screen flickers when you attach and remove the tablet on the samsung book cover keyboard?Laptop/landscape mode. Especially when the DARK MODE or EYE COMFORT SHIELD is ON?
Great review, thanks!
In Brazil this tablet also comes with a case and a charger in the box.
Good review! Thanks
This is amazing! Just got mine yesterday with ear pods and a bluetooth keyboard
How much it cost all? Does it lag?
@@JayKumar-kg3mj Sometimes it does but it is because of the apps that I installed that were consuming battery usage (large-size apps). But overall, the use for the sake of productivity is beyond satisfactory, at least for me
Got mine 2 days ago as a student, for notetaking and watching. And honestly, the screen is overwhelming. I like the color lavender an d this has a free keyboard magnetic case that is useful for students. was about to go to Huawei but definitely a must buy !😊😊
How much was your tablet?🤔
@@vivinaito143 It was 23,990 Php
Nice clear review thanks
Excellent review ❤
wonderful mate, thank you
Thanks very helpful for us Techy challenged. Bought mine today, on sale on amazon under 340.
Thats a great price, keep an eye out for a discounted Tab S9 Keyboard Cover case to pair along with it eventually.
Amazing review!
Planning to get one! Great review, Shane. 👏👏 But curious 'bout the watch you're wearing on this video. 🤔⌚️ What is it?
I just got mine yesterday Lavender i love the color its cute!😍 I didn't regret a thing for buying this ❤ it has also a free slim keyboard but the thing is its expensive but super worth it for a college student like me i bought this for 30,000 here in the Philippines❤❤❤
Does it have in display fingerprint reader?
Ok ba sya sis sa microsoft word and printing ?
Thank you for this review. I am debating between this fe and the 9plus. I am really just a basic, retired system engineer, and taking it easy user. I love to be cutting edge because of my past, but I am not using that way 😢😂.
Definitely go with the FE, especially with black friday around the corner. Find some good deals or discounts.
The FE is more likely to stay as good as it is day one than the non FE tablet.
OLED is a non durable technology.
Thank you so much. I'm getting one because of your review.
Just got my Tab S9 FE 3 days ago. Anyone having issue to backup and sync the Gallery folder (Pictures / Camera Roll) with OneDrive? Any help? 😭 (29May2024)
Watching now..just bought the Tab s8 Ultra for 638 two days ago.
Would it be good for apps like design space for a cricut machine or silhouette studio for a silhouette machine. Also for printing from?
I really like your necessary review, tq i will buy it !
Hi there. I have been reviewing some videos on samsung s9 FE. Must call out that you were by far the best - very clearly articulating the pros , cons, your own experience and what to watch out for, should an user be contemplating to buy one. Thank you so much! I just subscribed to ur channel.
Hi does your screen flickers when you attach and remove the tablet on the samsung book cover keyboard?Laptop/landscape mode. Especially when the DARK MODE or EYE COMFORT SHIELD is ON?
very impressive review!
I purchased this tablet last week. I can't wait to take it with me on a trip. I love this tablet.
Does it lag?
It doesn't for basic applications
Shane you are good at this
Finally the video i been looking for, bought the tablet and keyboard just now, and guess what for... OSRS!! lol
rumour has it there is an upcoming Galaxy Fit 3, hopefully you'll get to review it. I still daily drive my Fit 2 that I got after I saw your video.
Thank you for the review! Currently, I am looking for a tablet that is cheap but very good. I was thinking of the A9 but now I found who is superior. Now I am gonna see the video of the premium version.
Good review on thi Tablet Mr. Symonds. I like that the S Pen comes with this Tablet.
Fab review mate! Had a faulty Epson Projector, bought in Feb, Argos (UK) wouldn’t refund but offered an exchange at same price for anything else, so picked this device, the 256Gb version.
I returned my A9+ tab wonder if the S9 FE tablet will go on sale in Canada?
Hello. Could i ask if this tab is good for livestreaming sometimes on youtube, facebook or insta with its front camera? Thank you. Thinking of buying it.
Good to see you already have osrs downloaded
Yes please make video on fe+
Hi planning to buy this ,is it good also in microsoft word .Printing and editing videos ?
I was literally wondering if old school Runescape would look good on it and you played it 😂. Thanks bro!
Thanks great review AKG and Samsung great marriage
Love the multi-tasking feature
Hello,
Thanks for the review. I bought one of these and have been trying to get the vibrate mode to work. My one has 'phone capability, and I have come to the conclusion they do not fit the vibrate mechanism to this model? Thing to beware of if true?
Good review
Can i connect external ssd directly by usb c line , will it work?
haha omg you play runescape too!! ITS the whole reason im looking at this tablet haha sold!
Would you recommend the tablets for students who have a lot of intense note taking work in your courses such as medicine?
Anyting about battery drain issues while tablet is not on?
Cool vid...how do you do the POV on your videos
Dex mode is there in the newly....and quietly launched Galaxy A9+ tablet as well. May check that out as well. It will cost around 270 usd.
I'm sorry, but s9 fe can't you design the dex mode on the projector?
Looks like the a9 also has the same screen which makes the s9 fe good value only if you want a decent processor and planning to use the spen.
@@nick0_ I just tried the S9 fe and Tab A9+ screen in store. The A9+ screen is horrible, definitely not the same screen.
@@nick0_ nope. A9+ has TFT LCD and S9 FE has IPS LCD. TFT is total garbage and looks washed out and dull. IPS is more vibrant and has better color accuracy with much better viewing angles.
Good review, thanks. FE takes away the S9 features I want the most, but the price difference...I need a new tablet now and I'm really thinking hard. Really want the amoled screen..
What features?
Which features are you talking about that you want the most? Except the amoled screen which you've mentioned.
Besides the amoled, which is most important to me (with higher refresh rate), the processor (I don't want a new tablet that lags), 4 speakers, better battery life, more RAM, the camera.
On the side of the FE I do like the side button fingerprint sensor better than in display.
Like I say it's still a hard decision with the big price difference. I need a new tablet and I've been waiting for a discount on the S9 but it hasn't come yet. So I wait.
@@trumpingtonfanhurst694 I'm also in a similar condition and not able to decide. The value that the fe provides is hard to beat but the screen and the killer processor are putting me in a dilemma.. if it's worth to spend that much more for these if the fe is good enough. Oh, why it's so hard!
Not nearly as laggy as I thought it would be compared to my s23 ultra, I thought it was going to be terrible with the non snap dragon chip but I am actually pleasantly surprised. And you will save money for other things.
Are you reviewing the SM-X516B variant? Just curious if it's got a stand-alone phone/sms functionality?
I'm soo buying this
Can this be used to screensharing with other devices like Smart TV etc?
Just bought it, looks good, the only issue I have is the problem with the hotspot that I share from my phone to tablet, it connects but without internet, I was looking for a solution, found some but not happy that I need to unlock the developer option to change something that needs to work by default.
Looking to use it for my GoPro footage and edit will it work
EXCELLENT Review - Thanks. ...No Headphone Jack = terribly disappointing, as I use headphone a lot not to disturb others around me. Also, can the USB-C connector be used with a USB-C to HDMI adapter so I can watch movies on my large monitor screen.
The $320 price you're getting includes $80 off for some offer program you qualify for. Other people can't get that price!
Well if you do as he suggests, the Samsung Shop app is very generous with discounts. Yes, every customer will qualify for different discounts. But I found it on sale for $415 (same as Best Buy) but I was able to get a $70 keyboard for free.
I'm not going to lie I have no idea how I did it. But I just read their suggestions and either answer the questions (like getting a discount for being a medical worker) or read the promotions and you will always find personalized deals.
I got it in Saudi Arabia with 1600 riyal which is almost 370$ , considering that products in Saudi are more expensive than the rest of the world or USA i found it in amazon USA with 320$ price tag which is 1200 SAR
Fr
Im going with TMobile for the line because i already have their buisness internet with the phone and the tablet ill be walking out of the store for $347 because i already have them as a service. Also my internet bill will drop to 47 a month. Thats unbeatable
It's also just back to $400 now
Thanks for the review, shopping for a iPad replacement for my daughter and I don't want another iPad. God bless,
Good video what year or month did the samsung S9 FE+5G come out
October 2023
I've got a tab s6 that I've had since the moths it came out. Think the 9 fe is a good upgrade!?!?
i want a tablet that will last for years and overall use such as gaming, class, and daily use. what would you recommend for me as a student which plans on using this for college and after graduating? i think the fe one is a much wiser choice but i want a device that will last just like my phone
ps. i abused my samsung a51 and replaced it's lcd bc i went black-out. its still alive but barely living because it lags and doesn't have a fingerprint sensor now...
Just got mines today and been playing my Xbox game pass games on it. It plays the games really well. Now trying to find a good case for it 😊
Do you know if this play Roblox well?
I have a iPad 7 gen would u say this is a upgrade
I’m soo lost between s9 and s9 fe I found the fe for 549 in Costco, right now I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0(2019) been wanting a new one but not sure if I should wait for fe to lower the price or just wait for s9 please help I want one that has more storage and better battery life because the a 8.0 has 32 g so please help me and reply back (;
Seeing the osrs earned my sub and noti bell 🎉🎉🎉
You're in luck since osrs pops up in nearly every video lol
I have note 20 ultra 5g, but.want to use Samsung s9 fe
5G, as my phone on 5g network. Can I do this and still have same power, quickness, same charge time, and same battery life.
does it have secure folder?
Good review. What about the 5G? Is that necessary? Also is the 256gb necessary?
Yes, no half the gb would be alright
How did you install 12 GB of RAM on Exinos 1380 if it only supports 8 GB?
its a nice videos with beautiful explanation - just want to now does galaxy S9 fe , S9 FE plus HAS 5G -5G Variant in canada vailable and also kindly tell me price 5g variant priceee -
hey do you maybe know, why i cant watch on my tab s9 fe on youtube 2160p ?? it doesnt have anything to do with my internet.. i can choose the option 2160p but its keep loading and with my old tablet s3 i can watch it without problem.. do you know maybe why is it like that ?
The Tab S9 FE has a 1440p resolution so that might be the highest option, (the S3 is 1536)
Does the samsung tab s9 fe plus have emoled screen??
Are you unbox galaxy a05s? I'm waiting!
My S9 Fe did not come with a power adapter and I was wondering if you know if the charger for my A8 would work. I would think it would, but have not been able to find any information so far on what charger it requires.
So far though I like the S9 Fe other than the power button bringing up the assistant rather than the power menu though that was easy to fix.
howdo you change it back to powermenu?
25w
When can we expect the One UI 6 on the Tab S9 FE? Samsung has no where mentioned any tentative date of the update for it
The update is going out with android 14 .
Is it worth it to upgrade to the FE +?
hello may i ask, if the S pen that comes in package with the Samsung Tab S9 Fe requires charging since i attach it to the magnetic surface of the tab on the back and on the side but it doesn't show any signs or notifications of charging, or the percentage of the S Pen battery
no it douse not pen is just plastic with not battery.
Good video.
Considering the F9FE or the Pixel tablet, what would you recommend?
The brand of your phone
here in brasil the tab s9 fe comes with a protective cover and a charger included in the box
Hi, Can we use this as a screen extender? Anyone like use this as second screen for laptops?
This went down to $320 price? When?
Should I get Wi-Fi and go to T-Mobile and put a sim card?
Is it true that you get 3hr youtube time with 13% battery?
in Australia it's like $749 like wow lol got one for my partner he likes it so im saving up for one for me
Currently the 128GB entry level S9 FE is on sale at Best Buy for $400 versus the $450 regular price. In late Dec '23 - early Jan '24 the Tab S8 is on sale at Best Buy for $500 ($200 off regular price). Pro's and Con's to this, the S8 was released almost 2 years ago in early 2022, so it won't get as many updates as the S9 FE, but the S8's chipset is much better.
Samsung is really trying to be competitive with their pricing right now, being that OnePlus released their first tablet in early 2023, and Google just rejoined the Android tablet scene again in mid 2023.
I got the 128/6 base model of the S9 FE for 260 bucks aprox (adding Samsung App 10% discount + students dicount + a random discount from Samsung). It was a good deal.It's going to be my first tablet ever and I hope this one can give me a good experience.
PD: You are the first guy I saw doing a review with the Graphite color of the S9 FE. Wanted to look how it looks in Graphite for a long time but it seems everyone else got the pink, the green or the silver ones. This tablet in Graphite is looking sick!
Which one should I go for?
I want for my graphic design related works. I want to work with illustrator, photoshop and after effects.
Someone please suggest afforadable ones.
Same question
This tab support smart view?
Do you need to connect to wifi when your on a car trip and you don’t have internet
Good review Shabe Symonds. Looking to upgrade my G Tab S6 Lite, the G Tab S9 FE is worth looking at.A review of the G Tab S9 FE Plus would be nice. Thanks A Lot.
Fellow s6 lite owner here, why are you thinking about upgrading? Just curious thx
Samsung dex looks amazing ngl
Unfortunately both S9 FE and S9 FE plus does not support HD playback on Netflix and Prime Video. Only SD and it's such a shame.
My tab a7 still going great along with tab s8 plus
What do you use the A7 for? I don't think I could ever use an A tablet again after using the S tablets especially one as good as the S8 Plus
@@shrekadina marrow and watching shows basic doctument work
I have the A7 too haha! Im looking to upgrade@@lggr2261
Just bought one after watching your review😊 this is a great tablet for a grade schooler who always dropped his tablet. This will be his 4th tablet🤦🏻♀️ the last one was galaxy tab S6. It lasted only for almost 2 yrs😬 hope this one will last for a long time🙏🏻
Did you purchased 6gb or 8 gb ram ?
@@Medico_Falcon the 6gb only. It’s quite fast for a grade schooler. And actually it’s pretty good considering its price. My son was very happy with it.
@@AmazingGrace1729 same here . 3 days back I purchased
I've heard the Tab S9 FE has much better battery life than the S9. Is that true? Every review says something different.
