Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 10.9” 128GB WiFi Android Tablet, Large Display, Long Battery Life, Powerful Processor, S Pen, 8MP Camera, Lightweight Durable Design, Expandable Storage, US Version,2023,Gray

I have a Samsung Tab S3, which is 7 years old, works fine, but getting REALLY slow, limited in memory, and no longer getting updates. I had some money, and this one was on sale, so I went for it. I like the size of this (pretty much the same as my S3, just a touch bigger). It doesn't have an AMOLED display like the S3, but it looks fine to me, and can get pretty bright. The sound is good for a tablet. It has the S pen, which I can't live without. This is my 3rd Samsung tablet with one, and I use it all the time. I went for it and spent the extra money for double the storage (256GB), and 2GB more RAM (8GB), so I'll get more years out of it without slowing down or running out of storage. Plus it has a microSD slot and I got a big card for storing ALL of my music and a bunch of movies. I also picked up a 45W quick charge block, since it doesn't come with one, and it charges quickly. I was so happy this was on sale when I actually had the money, and I'm really enjoying it. I use a house design app most of the time, just for fun, and I'm not a gamer, so I didn't need one of the really powerful, really expensive Galaxy Tab S10s for more than twice what this cost. This does everything I need, it's so much quicker, and I hope to have it for as long as I had the old S3. I like the metal back for durability (my S3 had a beautiful glass back, but it scared me), and I usually buy black electronics, but I went with silver, and really like it. I'm really happy with my purchase so far!

This tablet is very well done for the segment it targets, and the fact that it comes with the s-pen makes it almost perfect for students, artists, or anyone looking to take virtual notes. I don't use it as often as I expected in the beginning (as I use my phone and laptop more), however, it's nice to use it from time to time to watch youtube, netflix, take notes from courses or anything, and more. Battery is good, but not amazing, however, it will last more than a day with a single charge (unless you play on it). It received One UI 7 at the end of May 2025, and the user experience got even better, is smoother, and more enjoyable to use than the previous version. The processor is not powerful, and it can lag sometimes if you have a lot of apps open, or if you didn't use it for a long time, but once it loads everything, the speed is very usable, but for the price and everything you get, I wouldn't ask for more. I really recommend it, even the base model with 6gb of ram and 128gb of storage. But if you want to future proof a little more, maybe go with the next version with 8gb of ram and 256gb of storage, or even the tab s10 fe if price is not a concern to you.

Very happy with this tablet. I was looking for something fairly small and there are very few Android tablets out there that aren't huge. This one comes in at 6.5 x 10 inches which is pretty good for my needs. The small size means it is also nice and lightweight. The screen quality is fine. It is bright and easily visible in full light situations. The speakers and the bluetooth also both do a fine job of relaying the sound from it. It doesn't have top of the line specs but I haven't found a single way that that hinders my use of it. It browses the web, scrolls social media, and streams tv, movies, and sports with no trouble at all. In my search for a small tablet, I tried some of the off brand options from Amazon and you could definitely tell when they struggled to do what you needed. I never experience that with this Samsung. The Samsung OS and built in software is fine. I don't use much of it. But since it is android, it will run whatever software you need. I'm most happy with the stylus (Samsung S Pen). I didn't even think I needed it, and now I use it every day. With the right software you can write freely and create typed text with no trouble. Very happy with how that performs. Overall, this is a great tablet for the cost. I love the small form factor and the excellent stylus.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is a well-rounded tablet. Overall, it performs very well—portable, smooth, and reliable for everyday use. That said, if you're used to high-end devices like the Ultra lineup from Samsung, it may feel a bit slow at times. It’s not a dealbreaker, but you can notice it in comparison. The camera is basic. It’s not really meant for photography—more for scanning documents or capturing something quickly without expecting high quality. As for the operating system, it runs great. No complaints there. The display is another strong point: good quality, bright, and very enjoyable to use. I’d give it 4 stars. Maybe that’s a bit strict, but I’m used to more powerful devices. I also feel it could have included more AI features like the ones found in some smartphones. That said, it works great within the ecosystem, and for the price, it’s a solid product. I’d recommend it.

I absolutely love this tablet. It's my 5th Samsung, and they just keep getting better with each new generation. It's built like a tank, great, clear display, and good battery life. The screen touch sensitivity is good, and can be adjusted in the firmware. The sound quality is amazing. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a headphone jack, so I am forced to use wireless earbuds, which I despise. Now I have to worry about keeping more devices charged. This also doesn't allow me to use my quality headphones to listen to music. Please bring back the headphone jack!

Updates will be posted on the top. Update #3 12/07/23 My FE just got Android 14 with U.I. 6.0 Quick download and install no problems. Update #2 10/30/23 I noticed one reviewer said they can't stream to their projector with this tablet as it runs slow. One thing I noticed about this tablet, and it is probably more the software is that out of box it appears apps are default set to run in the "strict power saving" mode. i accidently noticed this when I had trouble audio streaming via an app. So, I changed the power saving mode to "optimizzed' and everything worked fine. Update #1 - 10/19/23. I charged the device from 19% to 85% (Samsung's recommended limit) using the Samsung 45-watt charger. It took 50 minutes. The same charge on my Tab A8 takes about 3.25 hours. It came a day early. The packaging was excellent. I also have a Tab A7 and Tab A8. I purchased the Tab S9 FE 10.9" to replace the Tab A7 which stopped Android updates with Android 12. I also purchased Samsung's 45-watt charger. The battery was at 51%. I charged it to 91%, I didn't watch the clock so I don't know exactly how long it took but it was quick. I then used Samsung Flow used be Samsung Switch to copy my apps and data from the Tab A8. The Tab S9 came with a cable to I was able to use the wired method for the copying. it went pretty quick. All the apps except two copied. One for some reason is not compatible with the S9. The other I was able to install from Google Play. After that I spent a Few hours organizing my home screen with Microsoft Launcher and signing in and testing my music apps. The audio is okay but when I connected the tablet to one of Sound Core Bluetooth-Speakers I had to turn the volume down to under 25%. The S9 FE is definitely faster than the Tab A8. At one time I had about a half dozen apps open without a problem. The extra .4" in the display over the A8 is nice. The tablet is definitely bright enough, I am keeping the brightness settings at about 10%. I haven't tried any games since I don't play them. I did check the download and upload speed and it was basically the same as the Tab A8 which is fine for me. As far as the OS goes. It came with Android 13 and Samsung U.I 5.1.1. However, the Android security update was Aug 1st. I imagine it will update soon enough. Google Play was June 2023. It took three restarts to bring it up to September which is a Google issue. That is it for now. I will post an update or two to this once I get more battery and other information. Another excellent product from Samsung.

I just bought it on black Friday and I couldn't be happier about the purchase, the tablet feels very good, good quality, the Dex help mode is very useful, especially for people who need to have several apps open at once, the excellent multitasking. I haven't tried the battery as much but so far it's according to my needs, I have the 65W Samsung charger and I charge the tablet in 1h 30m, so I have no battery issues. Working with the S Pen is very comfortable, writing with it along, with palm rejection is very useful. I haven't tried it as much in games but having a common use have been very fluid the experience, The processor isn't high-end but so far I've done well in the games I've tried. What I like most is its integration with the Samsung ecosystem, I have an S22+ and passing files between devices is very easy, even to PC through Samsung Flow, the connection is very fast. For the use that the one wanted, which was basically for the University, it is really useful to take notes and work on Word or PowerPoint, even more if you add an inhalable keyboard with trackpad. Plus, it's great for watching media, with a good screen and great speakers. Being able to expand your memory using an SD card is something that is strange about today's phones and allows you to expand storage in a very easy way. I am a loyal Samsung user and I have not been disappointed with this Galaxy Tab S9 FE, if you are thinking of buying it, I recommend it.

I've had this device for a little over a year now and it's been my workhorse for my art journey. I've tried CSP, Sketchbook and Infinite Painter on it and settled on ibisPaint and the S-Pen has been amazing for drawing. The screen and picture quality has been superb. Colors are nice and bright when on high brightness, even if it chugs the battery life, and the SOUND! Wow, the sound is actually really good and loud. Videos, movies, shows and even music sound really good on these speakers. I am always stunned by how good the quality of the audio is whenever I listen to or watch anything on it. I don't use Android for gaming outside of maybe emulation, but this device is powerful enough for some mid-range emulation. Big screen helps with that too. One thing I wish it had was HDMI connectivity through USB-C like my S24 FE does, it's good on its own. Also, it's still getting updates, including Android 16 with OneUI 8, so it's still alive and kicking. If you want a mobile "computer" that also lets you draw on it, grab this. It's affordable for what it is and very high quality!

Es un excelente equipo, se agradece mucho la calidad de los mateqiales y el software es muy fluido. El hecho de que incluya el Spen, le da un plus en comparación a otros equipos similares.

Excelente aquisição. Câmera excelentes para reuniões on-line, memória boa, agilidade nos comandos. Um bom tamanho

El sistema operativo a mi parecer es algo lento pero muy bueno, suelo leer, ver series y tomar clases aparte de estudiar con la tablet, por lo que no creo que usarla para cosas más pesadas

Tudo perfeito ! Produto de qualidade.

El dispositivo llegó en excelente estado; fue sumamente amigable sincronizar mis calendarios y agendas de trabajo en la tableta. Su pantalla tiene un acabado de alta gama, la batería me dura muchísimo, es una tablet que vale cada peso de lo que cuesta. Samsung sin duda es garantía de calidad.
