I just got mine and set both beside each other in dark room scenario. With both S8U/S9U personally I am disappointed that S9U is not noticably any brighter or more vivid. Tried several 4K HDR videos from YT in max quality and matching settings in each. Not tried other content 1:1 or if new screen is any more power efficent but main difference seems to be adaptive sync on S9U. Dont get me wrong, the image quality is very satisfying but Idont see any difference in this early comparison.
Thanks a lot I was gonna upgrade from s8u to the s9u but I wasn’t seeing any significant deal breaking improvements the s8u is already a outstanding tablet in and of itself but me I fall for the got to have new next years model every time be it Cell phone,computers ,tv’s, I just got to have the latest but I have to stop That and wait for a noticeable upgrade … so again thanks so much for your insight
@@Mr_Latte_UKEven worse. I have a S7+ and a S9U next to each other and apart from the size the picture quality is 99% the same. Tested with many different 4K Videos. Size is the only reason you should upgrade.
@@89bighall Just to add on, I got the s9u and compared it to my s8u and the colors look much better and screen looks brighter on the s8u. The colors on the s9u look washed out so I will be returning it.
@@SpookyBeast1917err, did you forget to change the display settings from natural to vivid? No offense intended, just asking you to make sure before you return it.
Great comparison 👍 The S9 Ultra is definitely a powerhouse BUT i'd have expected a much higher level of its display brightness! Even on my Galaxy Tab S7+ the maximum brightness seems to be higher!
Thanks for this review. I was thinking of upgrading but I might hold off. Really like my S8 Ultra. I'm sure the battery will be alot better on the S9 but I think the video quality is the only thing I care about for watching movies. Still tempting...
Good luck finding a book cover case like that one. None of the third parties have a magnets in the different viewing anlges. Going to take a razer blade to the s8 case for my s9. Thank god the buttons are the same
Great machine... I got the S9 Ultra... As student and handwriting is wonderful!! IP68 helped me today as my backpack is not waterproof and strong rain... the tablet was wet... The Samsung keyboard is not waterproof thanks not wet in the bag. That a wonderful device !! What a pity that Google Chrome doesn't have the bookmark bar permanently under the address bar... I don't know why apps are not well developed for android tablets...
I just bought the tab s9 as my first tablet, I'm can't wait for the best and worst screen protectos for this one, I refuse to buy any till hear your recommendation ❤
This is the video I was awaiting! My Tab S8 Ultra is the version of 512gb of storage and 16gb of RAM (Brazilian version), so I believe just the processor is different, so... It does not worth the upgrade.
I have s9 ultra and it's really big in terms of performance mo lag at max 60 fps and battery life is also last over a day and half could last 2 and half days if you use it lightly
New subscriber here bro...thank for this comparison... hope you make video between these two device playing VIDEOS I want to see screen comparison...it seems to me the older s8 ultra is more vibrant color...
Welcome to the channel, Thank you for your support Arie, I will definitely try to work on a more detailed comparison video once I get my cases and screen protectors videos done.
I'm very disappointed with Samsung because I thought that they would give us 5G/ SIM card version in the ultra series, but they did not I'm not sure why? I wanted to trade in my S8+ for the ultra but I need SIM card slot and there's none 😭😭. This sucks 😢😢 hopefully for the S10 ultra series there will be 5g/SIM card slot.
I totally disagree with the sound difference,Why because there isn’t any and I do this for a living it’s a case of because you paid more therefore it sounds better, Not true mate.
Warning - be aware - If you buy a Galaxy Tablet of any model or version - As soon as you receive it - Go to Settings - scroll down to About and click on About - CHECK - to make sure it is the version you bought as you may get a Galaxy S8 Ultra instead of a Galaxy S9 Ultra even when you order it directly from Samsung Canada. I didn't check and after several updates of the software, I discovered I have a Galaxy S8 Ultra. Maybe there is a reason why they look the same and why I got an S8 ?
I don't know if this difference was already mentioned in the comments, but the new Galaxy S9 Ultra 5G finally supports eSIM while the S8 Ultra 5G did not. For someone like me who travels a lot, it's much more convenient and brings it up to par with the Apple iPad Pro.
It is if you plan to use it as a tablet (media consumption, internet, drawing, note taking). On the other hand, if you intend to use it a lot with the keyboard cover, the Ultra is the way to go. I still prefer a smaller tablet to use on the go and a laptop for more serious/productivity tasks. It really depends on your use. I have big hands (XL gloves), but the Ultra is too big to hold for long periods and to carry around.
Most are not gonna believe this. But last year I bought the Tab S-8 ultra, and I haven't even taken it out of the box. I've NEVER even powered it on yet. Haven't really had time, as my work schedule is crazy. Now almost a year have gone by, and I have a new/old tablet sitting here in its box unopened. So the answer for me is a big NO. I will not upgrade, not to mention Samsung only offers $650 trade in for a tablet I paid $1,400. I have the 512gb 16mb ram model. It's the maxed out one. I've also bought accessories that I haven't opened as well. So I'm about $1,800 spent all together. I don't see any need for the water protection feature. And the extra money for that. The ONLY reason that I was thinking about the S9 is because it comes in a 1TB model. That's it.
Why get the most expensive one when you just wait for the upgrade like hell I just traded in because they offered $800 along with edu discount so it was only $200 more. And you didn't even open it so why would you not recommend something you didn't try lol
For somone that does tech reviews doesnt seem to comprehend that both models are the 128gb and 256gb versions ... which are allocated different rams sizes ..... 🤔 pointless videos
This is just a speed upgrade. My Tab S7 Ultra is still working great so there is really no reason to upgrade. Hopefully the next one will get rid of that notch tho.
I don't know, it's a good tablet, I have the S8U, but to me it's still a bit too big. It's good for drawing, but it's hard to hold in the hand, the notch also still bothers me a bit. Another thing is that it seems a bit too long for me. Maybe the S8/S9+ would be the better option.
Hello sir Sorry to bother you but I am writing this to ask you if you can give me one iPhone please 🙏🙏 iPhone is my dream phone but I cannot afford it please 🙏🙏🙏
