I've been using my Galaxy Tab S9 FE for two weeks and I've never been so satisfied. I'm a master's student and the tablet has helped me a lot with reading, taking notes and drafting strategic plans for my management research. There's no denying that Samsung has been doing an excellent job in the tablet market in recent years. In my class, there are about eight people who use tablets instead of laptops, and all the tablets are Samsung models. NOTE: Even though these people have an iPhone, they preferred to use Samsung tablets due to the cost-benefit ratio.
@@FishBeeProductions hey, I’ve been wanting to buy an iPad for school to take notes, download files but also watch movie etc. I’ve been really confused between the iPad Air, 10 and Samsung Fe+. What do u recommend me to buy ? The only problem is that iPads are only 64gb meanwhile the fe+ has around 128 gb. Sorry for asking but I’m really confused.
@@bbbingooo9853hey i can consider that u get the Samsung tab Fe because u will most likely get a free spen with better battery life and store options. This is my personal opinion and I don't wanna cost any drama but I reccomend the Samsung
I went with the iPad 10 because it was on sale and the better performance and less clunky os. I was curious to see what apple products were all about. I’m sure the s9 fe would have been as good overall but they both have pros ands cons. The iPad 10 is 2-3x more powerful but has less storage. The s9 fe has a screen ratio better for movies but the iPad 10’s aspect ratio is better suited for use in web browsing, apps, reading and art and since that’s what I do the majority of the time with a tablet I went with the iPad 10. However I do miss the wide ratio of the s9 fe and better storage but I’m still pleased with my choice. Both are excellent tablets. It really depends what you do the most. UPDATE I actually end up sending the ipad 10 back and getting the s9 fe instead. The ipad 10 is still a good tablet. But the 90hz, smoother and faster scrolling and the spen made me choose the s9 fe. I also didn't like the more restrictive nature of ipad os and apps like Instagram and PayPal being terrible on ipad os. I also prefer android. I would only recommend the ipad 10 for people wanting to game on a tablet and people who vastly prefer the apple ecosystem.
Honestly, I don't think the photo and video section are necessary because nobody is taking photos or filming with a tablet. Is just ridiculous going somewhere and start taking photos on your tablet when you can use the phone instead, which by the way, performs a lot better.
I must say: the photo video section is VERY USEFUL. Personally, I was considering getting a new webcam and a more affordable tab for meeting clients offline. However, now I’m considering getting a more expensive one and use it as camera for online calls.
@MarianaFranco1 when you said offline that doesnt make sense? If your meeting on a zoom or some type of intetnet connected device with a camera and mic then that means ONLINE.
Great comparison! For me, the iPad wins in the long run, even though it has been released two years ago. When the performance of the Samsung starts to slow down that midrange chipset due to the new updates, the iPad will still be running miles around it with all that horsepower. I also like the display aspect ratio, it’s more useful and comfortable to do work on it. I wish Apple could add the Pencil on the bundle, like Samsung does, it’s more convenient to use it straight away from the box and saves money.
I ditched my old iPad and Pencil earlier this year and went back to just using my MBP. However, I want to go back to doing some drawing and notes taking so I'm thinking to get a new tablet and pen. I don't want to spend that much, though, and these two are the options that I have. Looking at the comparisons in this video, now I am more inclined to get the S9FE. For notes taking, I did like Samsung's Notes app when I had a Galaxy Note phone. Plus, the S9FE already has a pen... and it doesn't need charging. That was one of my complaints on the Pencil. You always have to charge it otherwise it's just a pricey, useless stick.
@@nightingale555I was also looking for an answer to this so I searched about it on other videos. I found out it has great palm rejection and fine pressure sensitivity.
Currently i am using tab s9 fe, i also own s7 fe before and i can clearly s9 fe much more faster and snappier, 45 watt charging is very good feature it takes around 1 hour to charger 20 to 100.( never use devices below 20 for battery healt.) S pen have a cursor feature. When i am surfing on website i can extend the options without click to buttons on website. Edge panel is very usefull for multitasking
If you really want to keep your battery healthy , recharge earlier than 20% . The prefer to sit at around 70% , so topping up at 50% to 80% or so will keep it healthy even longer .👍👍👍
I'm an actual gamer, so have zero interest in gaming on a tablet. I have a switch for gaming on the go. I want a tablet for watching video, taking notes and web browsing/social. Looks like the S9 FE will be fine for me, especially as I already have a Galaxy Phone.
Watching this on a IPad 9.7 10th gen. I like it. This is my first IPad ever. I have a problem when scrolling thru stuff. It has low refresh rate. Everything is just blur in motion. coming from my Samsung A54 which has high hz display. Also in terms of gaming. It’s lackluster. Every game in store in pretty much MTX filled games. And it suck as emulator lover. Honestly there is not much I can do beside browsing websites or watching video on YT.
This video was a big part of my reason to get a tab s9 FE instead of the ipad 10. I was almost peer-pressured into getting the iPad coz all my friends are pro-Apple and I'm an Android gal.

If I do decide to watch some movies, I could get an SD card as well.

I am a junior year student. I am looking for a good tablet for school work and to attend tests online. I am just confused on which on to choose. But i would want it to last long. Which one you'd recommend?
For longevity both are good choices. However if you want a iPad specifically for that reason I’d go with the iPad Air 4 or 5. I have the same issue as of now, but I’m leaning more towards s9.
In the UK I snapped the iPad 10th gen for £379 down from £500 but I had the Xiaomi pad 6 in my basket for 369. If it wasn’t for this amazing offer I’d have gone for the Xiaomi too.
I am looking for a good tablet. So appreciate these types of reviews. And I don't really want an Apple Tablet. But these do have something that is most interesting to me. The ratio. The Android tablets, including those from Samsung, have a ratio of 16:10. And target more the multiple types of users. Streamers, Netfliz, HBO etc. Gamers. And I am not that one. Want use it for reading, note taking.
I didn’t even notice that the iPad doesn’t include a calculator app cause I use uno calculator on both iPad and iPhone, iOS calculator is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen cause you can see the numbers you’ve already input. Like what? 😂
Hi, I'm a student looking to transition to the world of digital notetaking. I'm not really attached to any of the apple/samsung ecosystem as of the moment but I have great preference for android simply because of app sideloading. However, based on your review, it seems like the hardware on the S9 FE is making be think twice about choosing it. My use cases would be a great deal of multitasking/ note taking/ media consumption/ switching between multiple pdfs and word docs. How does the Exynos 1380 cope with that load? The S9 FE at my local area (with free slim keyboard) retails for $550 USD. The ipad 10 retails for the same price without the pen or keyboard. I can live without the keyboard but not the pen. I intend on keeping the tablet for 3-5 years. The A14 bionic offers extra performance that I may not need right now might come in handy two years later. What do you think? Edit: the S9 FE pricing is the 8/256 GB variant
the ipad will win in performance but if you want a better version of the s9 fe that is still cheaper than the s9 you could always go with the tab s8, it will have better performance, plus it has video out. I do prefer the s pen over apple pencil but you could also try the S9 FE to see if its powerful enough for what you do, just keep all the packaging in case you need to exchange it.
@@FishBeeProductions Huh I haven't considered the old flagship S8 until now. The s8 seems to offer the least amount of compromises for my use cases. Just worried that I might experience buyer's remorse getting the S9 fe for the price it's asking. Thanks for your help.
@@papagandalf9411 So which one will you get? Like in India, we get like iPad 9th gen (I find iPad 9th gen more convenient than the 10th gen) and apple pencil 1 together as the same price of the Samsung s9 fe. Would like to use my tablet atleast till 2030, what do you suggest me to buy?
@lets_solve_ Hi. Got the S9 FE+ since last year and its been a great note taking companion for school. I also have a friend who regularly uses his ipad air 4th gen for the same use cases as me. All I can say is that the A14 Bionic (ipad10/ipadair4) practically runs circles around my Exynos 1380 in terms of app switching/lauching and general system responsiveness. Got the FE+ because of sideloading, bigger screen, and a free keyboard to boot acting as my laptop replacement (for me at least). I recall the SoC on the 9th gen ipad is an A13 which is still a beast. If you want a device that could last for that amount of time then the Exynos is definitely off the table. The 9th gen ipad will serve your use cases well. While you're looking for tabs, also check the xioami pad 6. It comes with a beefy SD870 at an attractive price.
@@papagandalf9411 Problem is that in our country, though it is close to China, the support for Xiaomi as a company and the stylus replacement and all are absolutely not available. As the value for each rupee in terms for Purchase Power Parity is much higher than it is in terms of real value (1 USD = 20 INR), it is difficult for us to buy more of electronics which is cost more than your charges in USD as they are priced according to the US standards. Thanks for your time and suggestion, I've made my mind to the ipad 9th gen :) Have a good day!
Ipad 10th gen is better for me since I like ipads more due to their simplicity I didn't want a complicated tablet since I already have the S24 ULTRA...
I got a new phone and tablet . Was gonna get the s9 and s23 plus. OR the s23 ultra and tab s9fe. I ipted for the better phone and s9fe tab . I figured id splurge on something i use way more.
I'm thinking about buying a tablet to take notes for college. I'm hesitating between these two models. I just want to take notes on this. That's why I care about a good battery and a good stylus. Besides, I want the tablet to operate without failure for at least the next 3 years. I have a Samsung phone, so it's closer to their tablet. However, I am afraid that the processor is too weak. Do you think that despite the weaker processor, the tablet will last me for several years? Or maybe I should buy an iPad because of the processor?
i wouid say it depends on the person, personally if i had to chose one it would be the air 5 cause of the software and the m1 chip upgrade from the air 4 to air5 but in performance and upgrade potential s9 fe+ takes since the battery and battery drain are of a better quality since after all s9 fe+ is newer and supposed to be better than the apple generation of 2022 including the ipad 10 for some reason, as in conclusion choose whatever suits you as a software and specs you prefer but i would go for apple on this particular crossout
hey, I'm about to start my medical school, I'm looking for a tablet that could work properly during my whole course for about 6-8 years, is samsung a good choice? I prefer android but I don't want it to stop working😂
I have an iPad 8th generation 32 Gb, and I’m thinking of buying either iPad 10th 62Gb or Samsung s9 fe 256 Gb (I have a very good offer in the last one). I only use the tablet for normal things, internet, social media and videos. Which one you’d recommend to me? Thanks
both are good for that just personal preference on whether you want android or iPadOS. I like that the s pen is included with samsung but the ipad is a good option, especially if you can get it on sale.
Hi, I'm not ao sure wich one of them... should i buy.... I mean, i wanna a good experience for drawing and i dont care the system but i want it works for years... Other point is the storage is still capable 64 gb for 2024 upcoming? Or better 128 gb?
64 gb is very dated and not sufficient at all in this day and age. I believe apple does this so you will have rely on cloud storage and pay monthly fees to them.
which one would actually perform better if i want to use for 5 years, i've never use any ipad and samsung tablet bfr, so i would love to know ur experience regarding the performances after a few years of using those products ( apple or samsung)
im multimedia student I do mostly job on my laptop I just want second device for notes taking also digital art since I deal a lot of assignment with that but mostly I did my finalizing on laptop..Which one should I take 😢😢 I am on budget so these two are surely within my budget
Thanks for the video. I own a IPad Pro 11 M1 3rd Generation (2021) and I recently damaged the screen after AppleCare warranty ended 😢. Apple wants $549 to fix it. That’s only $150 lower than the current M2 IPad Pro 11 inch. I’m deep in the Apple Ecosystem but I’m eyeing the Samsung tablets specifically the Galaxy Tab S8 11 for $499 Best Buy or $458 on Amazon. I like note taking for class and Apple provides the better apps and they easily sync to my iPhone, does Samsung offer good note apps? I understand the M1 is a more powerful CPU but you can’t fully use its power. The Microsoft slot in Samsung tablets is sweet and provided pen.
might be late for this, but im planning to save up money to buy either one of those gadgets, I go to a university as an IT student and a digital artist...im struggling to pick which device suits better--to whoever sees my comment-can y'all help me pick one? also do tell the benefits of it^^;

Forgive me if I just missed it, but did you have the 6 gb of ram or 8 for the geekbench? Never mind, I can see it was the 6gb, I believe. Any idea on how much better the 8gb might compare? I know the ipad will still dominate with the better gpu, but just curious.
8gb would be slightly better but probably only noticeable when doing multitasking or more heavy duty stuff. Also would be better for updated software down the road.

I understand that this video is about a binary choice. However, I would skip both of these and purchase the OnePlus pad. In fact, I already did. All things being equal dollar-for-dollar it is a much better deal.
@@itz-dd Actually, note taking is one of its strongest features. The native note taking application functions well and the OnePlus Stylo is extremely accurate. I take notes with it personally and professionally on a daily basis with absolutely no issues. In fact, I recommend you purchase one yourself and gain some first-hand experience. It would be well worth your time.
The only noticeable problem on the Galaxy FE tablets is their processors, all of them are mid-low range processors that it is the only thing that i think Samsung should improve on those FE tablets, maybe if they added mid-top rnage processors such as the dimensity 8000 or Snapdragon 7, those Tablets would be perfect and they should be even more worthy than ipads in my personal opinion

Can you please tell me? I want to buy a tablet for gaming multi tasking school work media yt Netflix and Google browsing oh and ALSO writing/drawing with spen should I go with s8 or s9 fe? Btw I have the tab a8 so I guess I can handle some lag..
If your on a definitely on a budget; get the tab s7+. Save your money. The tab s8 dosnt have a super amoled screen while the tab s7+ does. And the tab s9 fe is something I don’t recommend just don’t. Get the tab s7+ you won’t regret and has a snapdragon unlike the tab s9fe which is not good and can lag a lot which is wasteful for your money. Dont worry all S tablets have spen included. If your really on a budget. Get the tab s6 lite (2022 version, most recent) it finally has a snapdragon and plus still has a headphone Jack which if you don’t think is a major factor then trust me, it is a major factor, and it’s smaller than most of all the recent tablets but it’s still big.

S9 fe
And dont forget that the Tab S9 Fe has the calculator app
yeah, apple doesn't want you to calculate things LOL
lol
😂❤
I didn’t even notice that the iPad doesn’t include a calculator app cause I use uno calculator on both iPad and iPhone, iOS calculator is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen cause you can see the numbers you’ve already input. Like what? 😂
They do now
Hi, I'm a student looking to transition to the world of digital notetaking. I'm not really attached to any of the apple/samsung ecosystem as of the moment but I have great preference for android simply because of app sideloading. However, based on your review, it seems like the hardware on the S9 FE is making be think twice about choosing it. My use cases would be a great deal of multitasking/ note taking/ media consumption/ switching between multiple pdfs and word docs. How does the Exynos 1380 cope with that load? The S9 FE at my local area (with free slim keyboard) retails for $550 USD. The ipad 10 retails for the same price without the pen or keyboard. I can live without the keyboard but not the pen. I intend on keeping the tablet for 3-5 years. The A14 bionic offers extra performance that I may not need right now might come in handy two years later. What do you think?
Edit: the S9 FE pricing is the 8/256 GB variant
the ipad will win in performance but if you want a better version of the s9 fe that is still cheaper than the s9 you could always go with the tab s8, it will have better performance, plus it has video out. I do prefer the s pen over apple pencil but you could also try the S9 FE to see if its powerful enough for what you do, just keep all the packaging in case you need to exchange it.
@@FishBeeProductions Huh I haven't considered the old flagship S8 until now. The s8 seems to offer the least amount of compromises for my use cases. Just worried that I might experience buyer's remorse getting the S9 fe for the price it's asking. Thanks for your help.
@@papagandalf9411 So which one will you get? Like in India, we get like iPad 9th gen (I find iPad 9th gen more convenient than the 10th gen) and apple pencil 1 together as the same price of the Samsung s9 fe. Would like to use my tablet atleast till 2030, what do you suggest me to buy?
@lets_solve_ Hi. Got the S9 FE+ since last year and its been a great note taking companion for school. I also have a friend who regularly uses his ipad air 4th gen for the same use cases as me. All I can say is that the A14 Bionic (ipad10/ipadair4) practically runs circles around my Exynos 1380 in terms of app switching/lauching and general system responsiveness. Got the FE+ because of sideloading, bigger screen, and a free keyboard to boot acting as my laptop replacement (for me at least). I recall the SoC on the 9th gen ipad is an A13 which is still a beast. If you want a device that could last for that amount of time then the Exynos is definitely off the table. The 9th gen ipad will serve your use cases well. While you're looking for tabs, also check the xioami pad 6. It comes with a beefy SD870 at an attractive price.
@@papagandalf9411 Problem is that in our country, though it is close to China, the support for Xiaomi as a company and the stylus replacement and all are absolutely not available. As the value for each rupee in terms for Purchase Power Parity is much higher than it is in terms of real value (1 USD = 20 INR), it is difficult for us to buy more of electronics which is cost more than your charges in USD as they are priced according to the US standards. Thanks for your time and suggestion, I've made my mind to the ipad 9th gen :) Have a good day!
Ipad 10th gen is better for me since I like ipads more due to their simplicity I didn't want a complicated tablet since I already have the S24 ULTRA...
Apple better for simple people like americans
I got a new phone and tablet . Was gonna get the s9 and s23 plus. OR the s23 ultra and tab s9fe. I ipted for the better phone and s9fe tab . I figured id splurge on something i use way more.
Which one can last more years for reading and note taking? Med student.
probably similar in that category although typically ipad
Thank you for making this video, I requested this on one of your other videos..
make S9 fe vs Ipad 9th gen😊
I'm thinking about buying a tablet to take notes for college. I'm hesitating between these two models. I just want to take notes on this. That's why I care about a good battery and a good stylus. Besides, I want the tablet to operate without failure for at least the next 3 years. I have a Samsung phone, so it's closer to their tablet. However, I am afraid that the processor is too weak. Do you think that despite the weaker processor, the tablet will last me for several years? Or maybe I should buy an iPad because of the processor?
SAME situations idk how am i gonna chose and what to chose so if u have any info can u update plss?
@@someoneonthisheart I bought a Samsung tablet yesterday. So far I'm satisfied
tyy hope that ur going to enjoy it :)@@natalia0367
Hows the performance now @@natalia0367
how does it work now? i'm also looking forward to buy it for note making. @@natalia0367
Tab S9 FE+ vs iPad Air 5 Please
i wouid say it depends on the person, personally if i had to chose one it would be the air 5 cause of the software and the m1 chip upgrade from the air 4 to air5 but in performance and upgrade potential s9 fe+ takes since the battery and battery drain are of a better quality since after all s9 fe+ is newer and supposed to be better than the apple generation of 2022 including the ipad 10 for some reason, as in conclusion choose whatever suits you as a software and specs you prefer but i would go for apple on this particular crossout
Don’t they deliver to Switzerland? 😢😢😢
Bro preaching the Word with tablet reviews, brillant :))
Which one is better for graphic designing
hey, I'm about to start my medical school, I'm looking for a tablet that could work properly during my whole course for about 6-8 years, is samsung a good choice? I prefer android but I don't want it to stop working😂
Hi the Ipad will undoubtedly last longer, it's just a different quality of chipsets between exynos and apple bionic
Please update what you got 🙂
Thankyou so much for the vid.!
I have an iPad 8th generation 32 Gb, and I’m thinking of buying either iPad 10th 62Gb or Samsung s9 fe 256 Gb (I have a very good offer in the last one). I only use the tablet for normal things, internet, social media and videos. Which one you’d recommend to me? Thanks
both are good for that just personal preference on whether you want android or iPadOS. I like that the s pen is included with samsung but the ipad is a good option, especially if you can get it on sale.
Hi, I'm not ao sure wich one of them... should i buy.... I mean, i wanna a good experience for drawing and i dont care the system but i want it works for years... Other point is the storage is still capable 64 gb for 2024 upcoming? Or better 128 gb?
sound like you might want to try the s9 fe for s pen and storage
64 gb is very dated and not sufficient at all in this day and age. I believe apple does this so you will have rely on cloud storage and pay monthly fees to them.
which one would actually perform better if i want to use for 5 years, i've never use any ipad and samsung tablet bfr, so i would love to know ur experience regarding the performances after a few years of using those products ( apple or samsung)
Also interested in the answer I am looking for un tablet fir school
Im looking for a good tab for watching OTT content please suggest the best
im multimedia student I do mostly job on my laptop I just want second device for notes taking also digital art since I deal a lot of assignment with that but mostly I did my finalizing on laptop..Which one should I take 😢😢 I am on budget so these two are surely within my budget
Which one you ended up with ?
Thanks for the video. I own a IPad Pro 11 M1 3rd Generation (2021) and I recently damaged the screen after AppleCare warranty ended 😢. Apple wants $549 to fix it. That’s only $150 lower than the current M2 IPad Pro 11 inch. I’m deep in the Apple Ecosystem but I’m eyeing the Samsung tablets specifically the Galaxy Tab S8 11 for $499 Best Buy or $458 on Amazon.
I like note taking for class and Apple provides the better apps and they easily sync to my iPhone, does Samsung offer good note apps? I understand the M1 is a more powerful CPU but you can’t fully use its power. The Microsoft slot in Samsung tablets is sweet and provided pen.
samsung note is really good
Samsung Notes is the Best for pdfs and note taking
Samsung tab s9 fe vs ipad air 5 please im torn
Which is a better choice for accountants?
might be late for this, but im planning to save up money to buy either one of those gadgets, I go to a university as an IT student and a digital artist...im struggling to pick which device suits better--to whoever sees my comment-can y'all help me pick one? also do tell the benefits of it^^;
Thanks great review as usual
Thanks for stopping by!
They both are coming exactly at same price right now lol . 432$
I'm student and my only use is to write, I don't care about cameras. Should I buy s9fe or ipad 10?
xiaomi 6
I DIDNT GO WRONG WITH MY SAMSUNG TAB FE
Just ordered one.
How is your experience so far ?
@@Ozt13 so far so good. Very very good. No regrets.
Lol, there is no ‘perfect choice’ between these two tablets, both have pros and cons.
For long term use which one will be best
i think they will last a similar amount of time
i want a tablet that i can use for around 5 years or longer. which will last me more, the samsung or the apple tablet? i am a student. i would like to download books, write, watch videos and play some games
The iPad 10 will last longer than five years with software support with better battery health compared to the Samsung Tab S9 FE.
Can someone help me choosing between this two? I only use it for digital art and maybe 1 or 2 game
Did you end up choosing one? I want one tablet for the same reason...
I got the S9 FE plus, and was going to buy the ipad 10th generation, i made up my mind after i watched a lot of reviews but i'm not sure if it's better than the ipad 10th generation
Both are good options in my opinion just depends what you're looking for
@FishBeeProductions oh OK thank you! I'm looking for one that I can use on daily basis, for studying, watching and gaming I upgraded to the s9 fe plus and used to have the tab A 10.1 inch
@@Me_-Lia11how's the Samsung pad? Is it lagging?! Most ipad users claim that they bought ipad coz Android tablet lag!
Should I buy it for
1.reading books
2.note making sometimes
3. Multimedia consumption

# I don't play games, only play in my PC sometimes!
# I have no editing plans on my tab either.
How is it till now@@Me_-Lia11
Wait what !? Galaxy doesn’t have video output? … it’s android tablet, video output is so important and it has DEX. Unbelievable.
I want the galaxy tab.... But the performance disappointed me .... I want a tab which can run bit heavy editing, and genshin impact 😢...
The Galaxy Tab s8-s9 are still an option, theres not much difference between the s9 FE and the base s9 in prizes, and the s9 has 3 times better Performance than the s9 fe, even the s8 is better than the s9 FE, u can still find them in a great price in second hand stores, they can even be cheaper than the ipad 10, good luck with that
@jabes5839 it's not available
Which would you buy for a 5 year old to play games and watch videos?
not sure what games a 5 year old would play but the ipad is better at gaming in general
Which tab is good for notemaking??
Both, preferably ipad coz of goodnotes and other few apps, better aspect ratio
I think samsung, the S pen comes included and is considered better than the apple pen
Man, I love it when you throw the squeaky toy and it squeaks longer and louder! Lol
whoops, i usually try to turn that audio down when editing LOL
@@FishBeeProductions Not necessary. I love it!
hey... ive been eyeing the ipad 10th gen for so long.... but since i have the s23 ultra i think im going for the s9 fe.... please help HJDHSDJKS i really want the ipad though... but after watching this i think the s9 fe is better and less price?... HELP AHJHJADHDJAS
I'm still confused about what I have to choose, cause I'm using it just for notes, editing and watching, can you guys recommend me what do I have to choose?
Yes the Samsung is better for your case
If you want it for gaming choose the ipad
Can you help me? I'm very undecided. Can you help me choose which one is better? I want to buy the best one.
I would go with the same ecosystem of my phone where having two accounts (apple and google) would make it harder to manage both...
Which one will be better for digital art
both are good for that but you might better app selection for art with the ipad
Forgive me if I just missed it, but did you have the 6 gb of ram or 8 for the geekbench?
Never mind, I can see it was the 6gb, I believe. Any idea on how much better the 8gb might compare? I know the ipad will still dominate with the better gpu, but just curious.
8gb would be slightly better but probably only noticeable when doing multitasking or more heavy duty stuff. Also would be better for updated software down the road.
A massive turnoff for me is 16:9 on tablets, It’s never the right option. 0:29
4 hour after buying my s9fe line appeared on display i am very disappointed 😢
There is multiple cases
May be you got defective product😮 have u thought of exhange it. Mine is working good as of now.
Great review, thank you. I’m brasilian
Does the Samsung S9 fe come with a s pen or do I have to buy it separately?
pretty sure it comes with a pen
It comes with one
also the Apple app store has more and better apps suited for the large screen and better for Apple ecosystem
probably depends which apps you use most, if you just watch youtube, netflix, etc and check email, you won't see much difference
I bought s9 fe cause It was on sale, cost me about 350 dollars in turkey
Biggest con is exynos
So the tab S9 FE does support HDMI adapter via type-c? I WILL DEFINITELY REPLACE THIS FROM MY HUAWEI MATEPAD 11.5 I'M WILLING TO SWITCH! 😍
no it doesn't work with one in my testing
@@FishBeeProductions ok thank you. Maybe I have to stick to my current tablet.
In s9 fe can we connect to external display with type c to hdmi adapter.
no
Does s9feplus good for gaming
Good enough for me yes
Which one is future proof
@@madimiks3191pretty much iPad gets supported for longer
My only gripe with Apple they still sell a 64gb device 😂😂😂 but it also makes sense to force consumers to pony up for the 256gb model
@@skyMcWeeds but ipad is almost 2yrs now
@@madimiks3191 hopefully they release a mini 7 or ipad 11 next year with at least 128gb as the base model.
While i truly enjoy my mini 6 its really held back by its paltry 64gb storage, i mean genshin almost takes up all the space. its a great device but expensive for someone looking for a more affordable and bang for the buck tablet,
I understand that this video is about a binary choice. However, I would skip both of these and purchase the OnePlus pad. In fact, I already did. All things being equal dollar-for-dollar it is a much better deal.
Except notetaking oneplus tab is 🔥🔥
@@itz-dd Actually, note taking is one of its strongest features. The native note taking application functions well and the OnePlus Stylo is extremely accurate. I take notes with it personally and professionally on a daily basis with absolutely no issues. In fact, I recommend you purchase one yourself and gain some first-hand experience. It would be well worth your time.
The only noticeable problem on the Galaxy FE tablets is their processors, all of them are mid-low range processors that it is the only thing that i think Samsung should improve on those FE tablets, maybe if they added mid-top rnage processors such as the dimensity 8000 or Snapdragon 7, those Tablets would be perfect and they should be even more worthy than ipads in my personal opinion
It also has Saturdays
I am talking to
Yeah this video is gonna make me replace my stupid iPad 9 for the Samsung, only game I play on it is Roblox so performance doesn’t matter
May I know which is better, Samsung Tab S9 Fe or iPad Pro 2022 M2, to study as a medical student?

Great video.
Being European means having to spend €550 to get your hands on either of these.. (vs $450/€410 in the US)
Yeah, especially in here in Finland tech is crazy expensive, got half decent deal on s9 fe and ordered it, should arrive tomorrow, I hope so atleast
in brazil is like, R$2500, that's so expansive :(
@@luan.h.araujono waaay! It's that expensive there

Which tablet is best for video editing?
iPad
I want to buy to make notes and littel bit of media consumption but for the long period of time which one should i buy?
Long-run Ipad always wins, Their devices last decades
I actually have both and ipad 10th gen is more better for a lot of purposes. Tab s9 fe is just my second hand
ipad has better processor but it's of no ise because of the limitations of iPad OS.
Android tabs act like a portable PC, iPad acts like a dumb slate.
iPad displays are not as good as compared to Galaxy tabs.

Can you please tell me? I want to buy a tablet for gaming multi tasking school work media yt Netflix and Google browsing oh and ALSO writing/drawing with spen should I go with s8 or s9 fe? Btw I have the tab a8 so I guess I can handle some lag..
If your on a definitely on a budget; get the tab s7+. Save your money. The tab s8 dosnt have a super amoled screen while the tab s7+ does. And the tab s9 fe is something I don’t recommend just don’t. Get the tab s7+ you won’t regret and has a snapdragon unlike the tab s9fe which is not good and can lag a lot which is wasteful for your money. Dont worry all S tablets have spen included. If your really on a budget. Get the tab s6 lite (2022 version, most recent) it finally has a snapdragon and plus still has a headphone Jack which if you don’t think is a major factor then trust me, it is a major factor, and it’s smaller than most of all the recent tablets but it’s still big.
same question for me as well . Confused between s8 or s9fe or s7 plus . Any expert opinions would be most welcome !
