- Опубліковано 10 сер 2023
- Samsung in July introduced its latest tablet offering, the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. This is Samsung's best and biggest tablet to date, so we thought we'd see how it compares to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

One thing a lot of people don't know that Samsung S-Pen doesn't need to charge in order for you to write on the screen. Charging pen is only for air motion and remote control function. And this pen doesn't use battery. It's using capacitor only to hold the charge
Wish reviewers would be more clear that it’s using Wacom EMR (Not Wacom AES, which is trash) . It really makes the tablet stand out
It's not a problem for me tha apple pencil never dropped under 50% for me ( normal use )
@@mansourghorbel6426mine does after a while but it charges quickly. Emr is a lot nicer because you can use ANY emr pen you want
I kinda think people miss that fact, it can be completely dead and be fully charged in 30 seconds, a minute? Not really sure but It doesn't take long to charge a capacitor, and that 30 seconds to a minute will charge it for hours, because it doesn't use much power at all to use it.
I feel as if the review is missing some key selling points... Particularly some reasons what sold me on it.
#1 there's a few cases out there that solve the lap issue but they're third-party. Good news is that you can save $200-$300 for a case but bad news is that it will be third-party.
#2 Samsung makes a cover that makes it feel like you're writing on paper with the S Pen. Kinda like the remarkable tablet and I absolutely LOVE IT! I look forward to using it on the s9 ultra for notes.
#3 I agree with you on size for sure. I wish they would have an option for a smaller s9 ultra keeping the 16GB RAM and 1TB. For those who travel, I feel as if they would be happier with the smaller screen ultra than the big screen. For me personally, I'm happy with the larger screen since I can use my Venture one glasses and practically turn the s9 ultra into a massive TouchPad, utilizing Samsung Dex, AND significantly increase the battery life.
4# I will disagree that storage doesn't matter because of 1 small yet significant detail left out. The amount of Ram sold with each storage configuration. I personally couldn't care less about storage as long as I can use a 1TB SD card. School, work, and gaming is that reason I'm sold on the s9 ultra due to the 16gb of Ram and the 1TB storage is icing on the cake. Although the RAM is covered later in the video, I feel as if this is the nail to seal the coffin on selling point and wasn't clarified.
Overall, not a bad review. The whole Apple VS Android competition can be broken down into 2 categories:
Option 1: Minimal workloads, simplicity, closed ecosystem, closed source/company-controlled
vs
Option 2: heavy/intense workloads, user freedom, open source/community-controlled, open ecosystem.
If you chose option 1, Apple products are probably best for you. Option 2, Android products are probably best for you, especially if you like customizing your device like installing Kali Nethunter for Pentesting.
I just got Tab S9+ after 4 years of iPad gen 6 and I would say That Tab S9+ is an absolute beast! The screen, Speaker, S-pen, build quality, hardware, Dex mode. Love it ❤
And stretching phone apps
Is it better then apple ipad pro if experienced
@@blackgamingstudio5104 the only thing iPad has over the Tab S9, is Procreate. That app is a killer...For designers, Android has a couple apps that are very close to procreate, but still not quite there. However, Tab S9 can be used as an external screen tablet for your windows workstation, which is a major plus if you're a pro designer......Also, Nomad Sculpt on Android is every bit as good as the iOS version, so we're good!
@@MzwandileHarmans 2004 just called, and it wants you back!
Yeah the speaker is outrageous on this thing, it's so stupid how loud it can get when the thing is only 5mm thick
iPad Pro 12.9 user for the last handful of years. Got the 9 Ultra in the mail Tuesday and am blown away trading in my iPad for this ultra. Next might be the s24 Ultra in place of my Pro Max.
Welcome to the Samsung family! So many people think that Samsung behaves like the old touchwiz days, but Samsung has come a LONG way!!
Samsung coming in on S24 Ultra in February. Enjoy if you don't get tempted for S23 Ultra in the holidays because that's an amazing phone. Practically the best on the market
@@1993rufusthat’s good to know. I want to switch back to Samsung family
@@solarlola5953 you should! Trust me, One UI has redeemed Samsung! Give it a whirl, worst case, you return the stuff lol
Switched from an iPhone to the S23 Ultra and I can't say I want to look back. This phone is an absolute beast, does everything you could possibly want a mobile computer in your pocket to do. Tab S9 Ultra might just replace my laptop.
As a samsung fanboy and S9 Ultra owner, I was surprised to see a fair review from an I-Pad user. I agree with 90% of your comments 😮😅
Frankly, mee too 😅
I'm also an Apple user that just got an s9 Ultra. I come from an iPad Pro 12,9 and I use the device mainly for consuming media. That's why I opted for the Ultra. It has a glorious big AMOLED screen and a nice 16:10 aspect ration that suits media a lot better. If you're simply consuming a lot of movies and shows, the Ultra is definitely the better tablet than an iPad Pro! I'm excited though for this years Pro release with the AMOLED display and knowing Apple, it will most definitely be an amazing and very accurate screen. But then again I'd rather have 16:10 than 4:3!
I'm an ex-apple fanboy (7years of macs, ipads, iphones) before switching to a z fold 4, and now wanting to replace m2 mac with s9 ultra for a-levels. His lack of bias is what i wish i was like during my fanboy era 🤣
Received my Tab s9 ultra a couple of days ago and I love it. The screen is vibrant and the sound is very good. And the S pen does so much.
If you didnt know. The fingerprint sensor also works when the tablet is turned off that means you can just touch the spot without having to doubletap first
Thanks sister I did not know that and I just tried it right now on my tab s7+ and it worked like a charm. Now that is a truly useful feature.
IPad owner here, this thing smokes the iPad to me it's not even close, only thing Apple has over this is more professional apps other that and the M2 chip which you'll never notice Samsung takes this in a land slide
Same here, I’m an Apple user, but moving away from their ecosystem since I’m huge into gaming emulation. Apple dismisses this market.
@@ralex3697and now Apple allows emulation
Completely neglected to inform people that it can be used as a second screen for your laptop.
Kinda small for a second screen. Just get Samsung monitors, much better.
@wyw201 hard to take a monitor with you when traveling, but if that works for you, keep it up.
@@AVAROPENA-wm2co Just get an external display instead. Much cheaper than a tablet.
@@wyw201 you don't understand, do you?
@@AVAROPENA-wm2co >?
One thing to remember is that Samsung handles retail and pricing VERY differently than Apple. Launch discounts and trade-in offers are REALLY SIGNIFICANT. Retailer discounts are also much more frequent. For reference, my Tab S9 Ultra, maxed out to 16GB ram and 1TB storage (not counting the micro SD card slot) cost me 309Eur, plus turning in my S8U 12Gb/512Gb and a smaller tab S7 I had lying around. It came with the small keyboard cover (no track pad) as another launch perk. And with the S pen of course.
Just got myself S9 Ultra + Book cover for 1450 or so, AND a free Watch 6. Basically a full setup at a HUGE discount (selling the watch since I already got the classic version)
I love how you owned you are an ipad user but still gave your take pointing out the strengths and weaknesses, many UA-camrs fail at this. Kudos
The face unlock is the backup. The fingerprint sensor is the standard
I don't understand the complaints against using the fingerprint sensor. I honestly prefer it when ive used apple or android devices.
I use the s8+ even though I’m an iPhone user. My tablet is 98% used for watching UA-cam, and the 16:9 OLED is great for videos.
It's actually 16:10.
Great video! Despite living the apple lifestyle with Macbook Pro, iPhone, Apple Watch, etc I've ditched my iPad Pro last year to get an S8 Ultra (now S9 Ultra with the generous trade in). Honestly for this type of device which is predominantly media consumption, browsing, email, comic book reader, and streaming games from my computer I've adored the flexibiliy of this device compared to the iPad lineup. Between the big beautiful OLED screen, super thin chasis, and tiny bezels it feels like what Apple's iPad will look like 2 years from now.
If you want a cover that has better lapability I highly recommend the slim book cover. It doesn't have the trackpad but much lighter case with a rigid bottom. I either use a bluetooth mouse on the desk or use my finger / s-pen to interact with screen. The angle of the tablet is so close to the keyboard that it makes reaching up to the screen very easy.
Why trade in an S8 ultra for an S9? There was basically no upgrade
I was honestly planning on returning the S9 until I received it and compared the 2 devices in person. For me the screen was actually substantilly better (much better visibility outdoors, no wierd anti-glare color, and better darks / highlights when watching movies), device finish less prone to finger prints, better speakers, faster CPU/GPU, IP68 resistant (yes I'm one of those who watches movies on a stand while taking baths), more storage, free keyboard cover incentive, fresher battery, etc. All in all it was worth the ~$400 upgrade for my 1.5 year old device.@@beyondthedetails
@beyondthedetails
For me, faster processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, just that along have me upgrading to the S9 series also longer security and software updates. As for the Android OS, it is not samsung fault, but they still managed to come on top, or at least not last, that's for sure.
@@beyondthedetails I also traded my s8 ultra to s9 ultra. Better screen, faster processor, longer battery life, vision booster, future proof for software updates, ip68 water and dust resistance and free storage and ram upgrade for $400, i think it is worth it. I mean, if you have extra money then just go for it.
Nah, the S9 ultra is BEHIND by 2 years+. Flashy hardware is meaningless with garbage OS. Android is ABSOLUTELY awful Vs iPad os. Apple dominates Samsung in everything in 2023. Let it go.
I prefer the tab s9 ultra by far. I use multiple apps for Android that arent available for ios. Love the tab so far.
What apps do you mean by that?
@@basnijlandI use an app to maintain my business transaction which is not available on iOS. Some of the government apps don't have iOS support yet. Torrent client, Krita etc.
@@basnijlandthere are pro drawing apps, architecture apps, software dev apps, editing apps, etc
@@samyulsyed6741 I'm sure you're right, I just want to know because I'd like to use them on my S9 Ultra too
I'd argue that the fingerprint sensor is supposed to be the main way of entering the device and face recognition is more of just a convenience
No arguing. You’d be right but it’s still weird that there’s no good Face ID competitor
@@macrumors To do facial recognition properly requires a thicker bezzle (on a laptop) or huge notch/pill cut out (on a phone). On smaller displays like phones, notches/pills are a grotesque use of screen real-estate, so i'm glad under display or side mounted finger print sensors are the more commonly used unlock method. On laptops, Lenovo has a good solution for housing the webcam & Windows Hello sensors in using the bump (which is also useful for opening the display).
The Face Recognition is camera-only based.
It's better to use the fingerprint detection.
I had the tab s9 and s22 ultra and now own an iPad Pro m2 and iPhone 15 pro max. Nothing beats Face ID imo. Way faster and smoother. I only wish there was a way to bypass the Lock Screen with Face ID like how you could with the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy devices.
@@lefthanded5473like for the phone or tablet or both? My favorite has always been side or back fingerprint sensors on phones, it's typically unlocked before I even have it out of my pocket and gives easy access to the notification shade when the reader is enabled as a mini touchpad. Always found face unlock makes the most sense on larger computers like Windows hello, unlocked and in the system right as you sit down. For tablets I'm in between.
i own a S8+ and i'm amazed at how good it is.
As far as Photoshop/Photo Editing goes, one of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth.
I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As you mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software...
Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is!
The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil...
I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT.
If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500...
Unfortunately, Samsung's trade-in's aren't great this year...
Two years ago I got the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD Tab S7 Plus in Mystic Navy it was $356 from Samsung with a Tab S4 Trade-In I got off ebay for $175, they gave me $400 trade-in credit, so my total cost from Samsung for the Tab S7 Plus was $531.
I had zero intention of upgrading. Samsung then offered me more than I paid for the S7+ in trade, for a 16GB/512GB Ultra. They also gave me $200 credit towards accesories. It was kinda of a no-brainer, plus the 4-year OS updates and 5-years of security updates for $517.59.
I absolutely love the Ultra, and have no intention of upgrading, especially since Samsung will only give me $650 for the trade-in of my Ultra and the total cost will be $750 for the 16GB/1TB version...
Maybe next time, Sammy...
You can put the s-pen on the sides too though and also there is a spot were you can put it on the bezel...
Great unbiased review! Just one thing that is missing. Samsung has the second (slim) keyboard cover, without the problematic trackpad. With this case you can easily use the Tab on your lap. Unfortunatelly, it doesn't have backlit keys.
if you press f12 or fn+f12 you can turn on backlight keys
always begins to rain or snow out here in canada so the ips rating is a really good feature i wish my custom s5e has with the snapdragon 845 has
This is THE best review of the Tab S9 Ultra form an Apple user EVER!!. You really have done your homework!!!
New to the channel . I really like it and definitely think Samsung finally got it right.Thanks for sharing ✌️💯
is this tablet worth the upgrade from an m1 ipad 11 inch pro? I usually use the ipad for reading, youtube, netflix, and some light gaming.
I have been able to travel with it and use this for remote access for my day job and it works very well. I could never do that with an iPad. I have the Galaxy S8 Ultra after using iPads since the iPad 2.
Appreciate the fair review!
its been 2 months so at the final decision, which do you use most? The iPad Pro, or the S9 ?
gonna buy my first tablet but most of ppl here(in my country) prefer ipad thn android coz of longtivity and the premium feel
my mainly use are for entertaiment (Gaming,video,etc) and online business
kinda interested in procreate (for fun)
but the DEX tho
Just picked picked up my Ultra. Looking forward to it;))
Let me know what you think!
I have an iPad Air 4th gen. I’m considering an s9 or s9+. Is it the move?
I love my Tab S9+ so far, and can't see myself going back to iPad. The ease of file transfer alone (for me, from desktop PC) is worth the switch from iPad/Macbook.
25 years apple user here. Entire family has been in the apple ecosystem since year 1 of iphone and ipad.
I now have the ultra and fold 5. These oleds and technology advancements have overtaken anything that apple can offer. I'm not shifting 100% just because I want to make sure I still stick to iMessage. But Samsung is already king of tablets today
Wow, solid, balanced review... thank you...
No Dan, you did not make up the word "lapability". That word was created by Panos Panay of Microsoft.
Nice video! Where did you get that Browns polo? Go Browns!
From the team shop!
Thanks for your review❤️✨
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the S9 series from what i read supports Hardware Ray-tracing
Can you share the link to the Apple Watch ultra band that you are wearing in this video? Great video btw! Thanks in advance:)
That’s the stock band that comes with it, I have the same band
Great review. I wonder how the games runs on Samsung Tab S9 Ultra. Previous tablets from Samsung ran games with the half or lower performances.
It's an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It's literally an enhanced version of the best mobile chip money can buy outside of Apple Silicon.
It probably still lags behind the Ipad, but at this point the Ipad chip is complete overkill unless you edit multiple 4K videos. I wouldn't worry about performance with this one.
@@readyforlol iPad's hardware + Android OS would have been a game changer for me. I don't like iOS on iPad at all, other than the collection of some great apps they have. Thankfully, those are also coming to Android day by day. Going to buy the base model S9 soon.
I just switched from iPad Pro to the s9…couldn’t be happier!
Great review. Thanks.
I feel like you compared the face unlock options on the S9 Ultra and IPad in a way that made it sound like the S9's was just an inferior version; "doesn't work in the dark". But they're working on entirely different technology. Apple's face ID uses dot projection and an infared camera, which is why it works in the dark, because it's their primary and biometric security option, but because Samsung's primary biometric option is their unltrasonic fingerprint sensor (which is awseome tech in it's own right aswell -- works even when your finger is wet), they only use the regular cameras for face unlock as a convenience factor... which isn't as secure yes, but isn't meant to be, and is why it needs light to see your face.
Just thought some people that aren't into tech enough to know this -- who might be looking into these two tabs as options -- might find that interesting
BTW tab S9u uses optical scanner
@TechTalk0069 You're right, my bad. I first assumed they'd use the best sensor for their best tablet, and then did a quick Google search which showed a result saying it did have an ultrasonic one, but after looking into the specs a bit deeper now on GSMArena I see it does indeed use an optical one... which is weird for their top of the line tab... but the rest of my point about comparing the face unlock still stands I feel
I’ve been using ipad pro, ipad mini and after watching it’s clear that this will be my first Android Tab. Thanks for the Review. You are doing Great!
There are still so many things that iPad users simply don't know.
For example, creating different user profiles. Here in the family, there are several Ultra tablets spread around the house and no matter which one is lying around, you log in with your user profile and you have everything. The installation is completely independent between the profiles. We also have different profiles for private and business use. I always find it unprofessional when I see Apple users who have private devices on their tablet and use them to give presentations to customers.
Or with the Good Look app from Samsung you can reconfigure almost everything, your own keyboard design, your own smilies, taskbar, icons, multitasking behaviour, satellites, system sound, your own vibration patterns, your own system menu, endless possibilities,
In comparison, the iPad is a golden cage and as a creative person I feel trapped in it. I can hardly change anything about the iPad OS. It's not a device for creative people, even though people always say it is. As a creative person, you love freedom and not paternalism like Apple.
Samsung Dex is the next gamechanger. ipads used to be good, but they didn't realise that they were long outdated.
(I WAS AN IPAD USER FROM THE VERY BEGINNING)
I appreciate this review.
Coming from Android/Samsung land here to say that I appreciate your vibe and fair take on this review!
(I do own a Macbook Pro and am way overdue for an upgrade 😂)
Hopefully they will have 5g for the ultra tablet soon in the states 😊
This I think is the only reason I am waiting to switch, and maybe look at the new iPad Pro with rumored oled screen
Good review!
The S9 Ultra is a powerhouse & the Keyboard makes it a perfect match!
Thx from Munich... 😉
I am using an S23 Ultra paired with the Watch 6 Classic which I just got yesterday. Watching this video now makes me want to purchase the S9 Ultra. 😅
someone knows if the heat of the screens stills in this tab ? My problem on Samsung tablets is that the screen heats a lot instead of iPad that I don't feel any heat... I had an S6 tab so its been a while and S6 heats a lot and fast, but my gf bought a iPad and I didn't feel that heat, but I'm not willing to pay 1300 euros for a drawing tablet...
Great video! I am honestly in love with the Tab S9 Ultra but it's too expensive for me.
Does this tablet have trouble with overheating 🤔🤔🤔
The aspect ratio of the Samsung Galaxy tab s9 ultra is better for watching most content which beats any ipad, the letter boxing is marginally reduced on the Samsung.
For me Dex is a real game changer and one the main reasons why I, as an unbiased user, got the Tab S9 over the iPad Pro, the other main reason being how great old consoles emulation is on this tablet. I'm a big fan of what Samsung is doing these days, I gotta admit. I feel like they've finally got their own identity with One UI, they do their own things the way they want to (completely different route than Google), and it's a pretty pleasant user experience overall!
The S-Pen experience is also pretty awesome. Samsung has been working on and expanding the S-Pen features and capabilities for years now, thanks to its "Galaxy Note" phones, and it shows. That's something they're really good at
It really does seem like the line between laptops and tablets are being blurred obviously there are more power oriented laptops for more daunting tasks but something like this could realistically replace a laptop for simple work. Now that Google is working on tablets of their own this should be expected to get even better.
ALso for artists, you can get clip studio and fresco on a galaxy tab. Clip has a cloud so whatever you do on your desktop you can continue on your tablet. Procreate is good, being able to continue your work anywhere is great.
Samsung tab S9 Ultra... as a student it s just amazing to use 1 side for UA-cam and the other side, handwriting my courses that i follow on UA-cam... incredible how useful this tab is... and IP68!!! (Not the keyboard unfortunately).
Can u guys recommend me case for my tab 9? Around $30
Since you don't like the trackpad and you don't like the lap-pability of the book cover, you should try the slim book cover. It's a lot more lap-pable and it doesn't have a trackpad. You can just use the touch screen. Alternatively, just have a mouse with it.
Face rec works perfectly for me in low light and the trackpad has no problems for me. If you put a board on your lap and then place it on top its fine as well. Too bad none of you have actually USED the apps for doing work like word processing and video editing and cloud based apps. I tried to use Vyond but it says the browser doesnt support it.
Since you're an iPad owner, which speakers have better Bass in music? S9 Ultra or iPad Pro 12.9"
S8 ultra was inferior to the iPad 12.9
i used to be an "apple fan boy" but as long as iPad pros are software-wise where they are now, i will continue with samsung's ultra tabs. i recently bought my first Samsung tab s9 ultra and i am blown away. THIS is what i expect and demand.
I am a trader of the financial markets. For 2 decades, I carried a laptop on trips, but in late 2021, I broke down and bought a cheap Samsung Galaxy Tab A7. I enjoyed that so much while traveling that I have stopped traveling with a laptop. I also used the A7 around home when away from my trading workstation (destop with 4 huge screens). I soon discovered that I liked the bigger screen so much that I used my phone a lot less. I was looking for an upgrade this year as the A7 has many limitations, so I bought a Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra. This is a massive upgrade, and I will probably never travel with a laptop again! I cannot only use my trading software, but also Microsoft Office as well. Not to mention games, UA-cam TV, movies, videos and tons of other apps. This is a great device though I cannot comment on the Ipad Pro since I only use Android.
I've been looking for feedback about using tablet as a trader while also traveling lol your review somehow helps me right now with my decision to switch to tab ultra soon! TY!
thanks for the review. I do recommend that You deal with the Ram- Graphic Capacity a bit more accurate: Is the S9 Ultra now capable in (lite) editing videos in a cetain qyality( and which) ? .. Because we are almost getting there with the better tablets o the market. cheers from Denmark/ Chris,
you can easily edit 4k videos
Yeah the power and performance is great. You’d be fine doing most things.
I have the s9 fe and thats still really nice even without the same specs the regular s9. The fe version that samsung makes is so cool, premium feel at a lowercost. i also have the fe buds too and for a 100 bucks well worth the price. Feels nice not having to pay so much for a premium device, samsung really looks out for you
14:50 why not do a side by side comparison since you have both tablets?
Yes indeed what you have said. Ive been using both
I really appreciate the input. Hate that this is not 5G Capable. GO BROWNS!
Thanks, great review.
With so much advance in tablet functions I still don't fell any need to upgrade from my galaxy note pro 12.2. Even after 10 years i never felt it need upgrade. Battery still run for whole day with dimmed back-lit. For hand writing Snote and Inkredible apps are pleasure to write. Multitasking is great and proportional to productivity requirements.
I would really like the keyboard cover with the track-pad, but in CA its $542, that's just obscene, i highly doubt they'll sell a lot of those.
I’m an iPad user but ngl I’m jealous of the Dex
R.I.P. iPad! 😬🫣
I just ordered mine. I enjoyed your point of view. Honestly if apple would come out with an ipad mini pro with an oled 120htz screen that allows calls and text I'd give up almost all my tech just to carry it.
just got a s7 plus (the ultra of that year with AMOLED display as well) and love it
So this tablet just like the Microsoft Surface are proof that competition is good. For years I’ve been an avid iPad user but that doesn’t mean that other companies don’t have good ideas too. This stuff is proof that what Microsoft did buying Blizzard/Activision was wrong, that the governing bodies around the world got this wrong. We need competition, we don’t need to squash it. Microsoft just single handed put gaming back at least 5 years.
Blizzard and Activision are not only gaming companies many great games will come in 2023 or 2024
@@blackgamingstudio5104 and now only on the Xbox as Microsoft has already said that PlayStation only gets COD for 10 years. Spyro, the dragon, and crash bandicoot that were both games made for the PS1 are now Xbox exclusives. That’s a Corporation using its wealth to squash competition! I have owned every Xbox since the Xbox 360 and my Xbox series X will be the last purchase from Microsoft ever.
I'm am liking the S9 ultra, and the keyboard still lights up like the S8 Ultra one.
The hardware for the S8 and S9 are super impressive! I really wish the software was stepped up a bit on the Dex side. But the creative app support isn't there as much, yes, there's Clip Studio, but I'd LOVE Procreate and Affinity Design/Photo. Adobe has basically given up on Android.
Pretty sure apple fights to keep procreate but we've got infinite paint which is very similar ,good notes just came over and plenty more. The app situation is much better than it used to be,
Lightroom from Adobe is there. But definitely a stand-alone Affinity Photo/design would be great.
@@Yomachaser IBIS Paint Pro is also good.
Gimp is not great, but if you are familiar with it. It works halfway decent on this tablet.
@@kwamgary1364 that is great. RAW development and light editing, I do with Snapseed.
Love my S9 ultra with 1tb card ❤
Imo pencil placement and the case is genius.
Samsung needs to make a magic keyboard case thst floats the tab to compete with apple
Yes! And fix the cursor. Whether it be the trackpad or software and then it would be perfect
@@macrumors yep 100%
The multi-tasking and multi-window features on the Tab S9 Ultra kills it. It's so much better than the one on my iPad Pro.
DEX is a free option which is almost a USP on it's own. Camera's are better (wide angle front), the sound is better and the screen is better on the Tab.
S-pen also is better than on the iPad Pro.
love this review. quality stuff. and the tablet is like a tv in you hands 😂
I agree with the apps. Google needs to get down on the developers to improve the apps for tablets.
Great android tablet review on a channel named MacRumors
That case reminds me of the Logitech case for the iPad Pro.
If only MS can do a full-blown Excel app for Android, I'd be ditching my laptop. I'm still stuck with the S7 Plus as it still works great for what I'm using it for and probably wait for the S11 before I retire this thing.
Amazingly nuanced review. Even the criticism was nearly always spot on. I'm an Android/Samsung (and Windows) user for years and I'm actually dreaming of owning Apple products. This content creator is making me want to even more. I've been unsubscribing from channels that lose themselves in the fanboy matrix (in both directions). Mac Rumors is a true mentch.
A question I had: What is the latency of the Apple Pencil? I mean not sure if the same technology is used in the Tab S9 Ultra or not, but the latency of the s pen in the s22 ultra and s23 ultra is 2ms, which is just nuts!!! it is nearly the same as real life tbh.
9ms
Not all the apps are great/optimised for our iPads, still annoys me Instagram isn’t optimised, on the Samsung it looks so good i can’t lie.
Galaxy Z fold 5 is also getting an special version of Instagram before ipads.
I agree. People talk about optimized apps on the iPad, but my Mini 6 has dozens of apps not optimized for it.
I just sold my Ipad pro for this tablet and I couldn't be more pleased with the switch. The tablet if for nothing else is just a joy to marvel at. I do have an s23 ultra, and have been with Samsung for a few years. I've just fallen in love with the flexibility of the Android ecosystem (especially with Dex). My Ipad pro was nice, and potentially could have been a lot nicer if I were using it for video editing and whatnot, but I simply used it for multimedia and communicating with other apple users. If all you've ever known is Apple, then don't switch. If you're considering getting a Samsung handset + tablet device, then all I can is that you're going to be completely satisfied on your new adventure.
I now have an iPad Pro from 2018, 11 inch model, but because the future iPads Pro will be so expensive with OLED, I will unfortunately be forced to switch to the Tab S9, I watch a lot of series and films and therefore want an OLED screen. . but why can samsung make such a tablet for 800 euros? and should Apple charge $1,400 for the OLED iPads?
Will anyone hold a pen the right way?
Go Browns! Love the shirt
I'm looking at this from a vector art perspective and android has no decent vector apps like Illustrator, fresco and affinity designer... Concepts 2024 is the only one, but it doesn't work like a traditional vector app. Also, in most of the S9 Ultra art reviews I've seen, users wear a glove as palm rejection seems to be an issue?
I know this video is older but I came across it while doing some research on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 9 series. I have an iPad Pro and feel the play store has more options than I can get in the App Store in Apple. I’m considering the Samsung Tab 8 ultra because Best Buy has it for $699 and will give me $525 in trade on my iPad Pro. There are differences between the S8 and S9 series but since I use this for games, videos and movies I don’t feel the extra money is worth the price. Get tired of paying those crazy prices for anything you want for your iPad Pro it’s crazy.
The S9, S9+, and S9Ultra are the same with the exception of the screen size and battery size. That doesn’t make the Ultra a powerhouse over the others.
Please excuse me about use on your lap. Use a case with pre- positions on it.
watching this on my s9 ultra tablet
The freedom of using devices outside a restrictive ecosystem is immensely gratifying. I appreciate not being dictated by the device manufacturer regarding software choices. Android offers a comprehensive app selection, often at lower prices due to the absence of Apple's fees. Additionally, Samsung's commitment to water and dust resistance is beneficial, allowing usage in various environments, embodying true portability. Moreover, the media quality on these devices surpasses that of Apple. One thing both companies could have learned is the value of having a compartment in the device itself to hold a stylus if a stylus is going to be a key feature in the use of the device. I remember my Apple Newton had a nice little enclosure for the stylus so that it wouldn't lose it.
The most environment most my tab s9+ get is the kitchen lol
I have the tab s8+ along with an iphone. Love the tablet. At first was concerned about the apps vs an ipad, but things have improved. In terms of usability and speed, top notch. Beautiful display. Apple has crippled the ipad software for so long, that at this point i feel they have already lost, especially when taking into account the discounts for samsung, that it includes the s pen, and the better display. I will most likely stay with the iphone. As a software developer i work with both pcs and macs; my tablet is both a research tool and enjoyment, and the samsung is perfect. With my photography, the tab works well, either standalone or as a second monitor with the spen and superdisplay app, but do not use the tablet as much as i thought i would, as nothing beats a large screen and desktop setup for photo editing.
