Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE| DO NOT BUY Until You Watch This! 

Thanks for the review! I was doubting between the s7 Fe+ and the s9 fe+ for Uni (I'm a Biomedical Engineer student) because of the innecessary amount of paper I used for my first year. The student discount in my country gave me the same prices for the s7 fe and the s9 fe (128 or 256GB), whether they're the normal or plus version. Finally decided for the S9 fe+ version thanks to your vid! I realised that the water resistant and the extra storage may be for good use in my case, as I will only be using the tablet for reading and notetaking, but I wasn't sure because they're kinda new and I didn't find quite a lot of videos reviewing these tabs, in case of any malfunctions... Also, I already own a S21+ (which I love), and have access to huge student discounts (almost 30% discount on s9 fe), so I was definitely choosing from one of the Samsung tablets. Sorry for any mispelling or phrasing (english is not my first language) :)

Big help from you guys and thank you. Fantastic review. SUBSCRIBED! 👊🏼👍🏼🤘🏼

Thanks for the videos Ivan! I just ordered one for about the same price I paid for the S7 Fe last year

Nice review, i have from the dayout and it takes the place of my s6lite, i think is a big step up!!

Great review thanks!

Great video man, new subscriber here. I just ordered one yesterday, supposedly it arrives Tuesday. One concern i now have is, someone said that usb-c doesn't output so you can't plug it into a larger screen and use Dex. Do u know if that's correct?

Looks good, nice review. I was wondering though what you think about the S9 FE's wifi performance especially in the wifi 6e 6ghz band. I have been seeing a lot of Internet complaints as to wifi problems. Though it could be they have an issue with their router and not the S9 FE. I am looking to upgrade my current tablet as it is a bit slow.

thanks for this video, i recently bought the s9fe and got the keypad for free, would you mind a video about the keypad where you cover the tech behind the keys, because they feel so amazing when typing (and maybe a teardown?)

Great! Review cleared up a lot of confusion, I had. Thanks

Thanks for the review, Ivan. Excellent job as always. I gave my iPad to a friend and was looking for something to replace it with--glad to see I put my faith in the s9 FE then!

I agree with your other viewers, great review. Thank you.

I ordered the mint 256gb on Thursday from Best Buy, I scheduled for it to be delivered on Saturday because I’m off work that day, I’m ready for it, but it’s 5:04am, long wait lol.

Thinking to get one for studying and laboratory work, but I am also a photographer (not profesional, but still :D). How does S9 FE or FE+ performe with adobe products (lightroom, photoshop)? And thanks for the good video!

Hi, good review. Thanks. Can you explain what's the difference between 5G and WiFi version.

Thank you, love your style sir!

Excellent in depth informative video - as always! Not quite sure about this one though! As nice as it is, my feeling is that this falls somewhere between the s9 and the upcoming a9 similar to the way the s6 lite did for the premium and budget models. Problem is that at $449 I think it’s just a little too expensive for that! I think a $349 price,like the s6 lite had, would have been much better and would make it much more accessible for most users. As it is - I think the premium power users will still get their s9 units and the budget consumers will still just buy the s9 and this will fall in between and probably not sell as much as either of those. Hopefully as time goes on this will go on sale and head down to that better $349 price we all love…. But until then, I think a lot of people will just hold off and wait until that happens!

your videos and reviews are quite precise and educative. I'm a writer and a teacher so more into, browsing, reading and stuff... not a gamer or into much videos... so I think I will be going in for this device... pretty cool

Great review, this or the fe+ sound like a perfect upgrade from my 2018 tab 8.0

Thanks for the detailed review. I am thinking to purchase my son this for his birthday. he enjoys games and streaming services along with homework. Would you recommend this for said requirements? you mentioned its great for students which checks one box off. I want him to use this for a few years to come.

Thanks for good reviews. All good on S9 FE but cpu performance almost same as S7FE, 2 years old device. S9 FE May be not lagging today but I am concerning for 2 years later. Even device still be supported, but it may be laggy bcs of Exynos1380. What is your opinion for that?

Hey man I like your hat. Where did you get it, I wanted get a couple for myselsef. By the way thanks for the tablet S9FE

The Tab S9FE definitely fits my budget. The Tab S9 is very nice, but way expensive. But, how does the tab S9FE compare to the Google Pixel Tablet. I have never figured out that charging speaker dock.

Just bought it today, thanks to your review ❤

Hi Ivan, just wanted to know which display is better for reading books that is to say which display has less strain on the eyes - Dynamic Amoled 2X or LCD IPS TFT

Thinking of getting the plus. Will see. Already spending too much for Christmas 😅

Still love your videos man ❤

Hello, great review. My needs are simple, I am simply looking for a device to play my mp3 music and mp4 movies. That is about it, and some basic web browsing. I am a little bit older, old school as well. I have a huge collection of cds and dvds, and I am converting them all to the above mentioned formats. All I want is something portable. My family have an older iPad, and we love it, but Apple seems so proprietary, it drives me nuts. The Galaxy S7 fe just went on sale here in Canada for $450 for Black Friday, regular $700. They also have the S9 fe, but as of now, no sale price. So $600 Canadian. What do you recommend?

I'm planning to do sofware development with the help of this device. Can't I use this tablet as the second screen for my tablet? For development it is very much easier when having two displays.

I'm considering buying this. I don't mind the S Pen not being able to do air commands since I have S Pen Pro. I also don't mind it no being able to connect DeX via UBS connector since I have Z Fold 5. I would just use it for taking notes and sketching. Any insights?

Hello 1. I'm a Student I had samsung 10.1 A which has 2 gb ram with exynos chip it still runs good. 2. S6 lite 2022 also used it is kind of ok for media but some times lags as it is snapdragon and battery is 1 to 2 hr low from 2020 version s6 lite. 3. Now I got s9fe + 12.4 8 gb 128 storage green colour for 510 dollar after some crazy discount from employee coupon it is good for student like me no lag as it has 8 gb ram more than enough. Multimedia Is good . Display is good it is not amoled but good almost similar. 90hz screen . Gaming mid-level it is good not high end because I don't care I have 3060ti pc for games so.... normally use for 3 hrs daily and battery backup for 4 to 5 days easily or switch off wifi 1 day more .... so get it if ur not a EA gamer or editor for a film.... I think 90% people are like mid user like me so get it as it comes 4 years of update. I love it because I'm a crazy guy and do some research before got it as 500+ $ is more money for a student so.

Hi Ivan ! I want to buy a tablet for games. I did not like the specs of tab A8 so I am between A9+ and S9 FE. I am fan of Samsung, so I do not want to go to Apple etc etc. Also, I noticed that A8 does not have 90Hz. I am note sure about the quality of panel between A9+ and S9 FE. Thank you !

Hey man, this tablet can run yuzu smooth or nice at least? thank you since now

Thanks for the videos, I have decided to buy the Tab S9 FE, but they have mentioned the Xiaomi Pad 6, what do you advise? I am a chemical engineering student and I plan to use it for notes, Additionally, I have an S21FE and I understand that the ecosystem issue would be better, I receive advice

Thankyou so much for the review, I also heard about the Xiaomi Pad 6 which is a competitor of Tab S9 FE. What do you recommend for a student who do wanna take notes and also enjoys pubg sometimes. Also you mentioned in the video that Samsung galaxy tab S9 FE is not for someone who is looking for the raw performance of Snapdragon chipset. Xiaomi Pad 6 is fitted with snapdragon chipset, a better refresh rate of 144 Hz, but the disadvantage is, it got wifi version only and also no memory card support. I believe Xiaomi Pad 6 will be able to give better gaming performance, but I not sure about the note taking and drawing capabilities. What is your opinion in Xiaomi Pad 6 note taking and drawing capabilities? Thanks a lot. Cheers!

Is this a good tablet if i only want to use it for drawing? Kirta or other drawing program. What specs would be relevant for looking to buy a samsung tablet only for making art?

Hey i am a 16 year old a level student and i am interested in buying this tablet to take to school and take physics notes, do some math and maybe code a little on websites but i dont have a large budget, i think this is a great choice especially since ive been out of the tablet game since 2017, what do you think, also thanks for the great vid

Hi! My s6 lite (which I bought because of your awesome reviews) started slowing down and crashing every now and then. I’ve been thinking of buying a new one for a while now and I absolutely fell in love with the lavender color! It’s great for what I use it for, and way smoother than my last one. I mainly use it for Netflix, RU-vid, reading and notetaking. Thanks again for a lovely video! I saw it after buying (oops) but I always appreciate your content.

I chose to upgrade my s6 lite to the s9 Fe . I got it for Christmas when they did the cyber Monday deals . I am obsessed with the s9. Fe a great choice for me. Thank you for your honest review I appreciate it so much. 😊

Really good indepth review. I ordered on for myself (still waiting to arrive) but for me besides my S23Ultra its just a perfect for some other activites. I usually have to give a talk in front of public and need to writing longer notes and some basic multitasking for meetings. Nothing too hard and if needed my S23 will handle it with DEX. But on when Im on the go I think its perfect budget solution in my opinion and based on you previous reviews . Thanks for that.

hello, would you recommend me buying S9 FE or lenovo Tab P11 (2nd)? Primary for notes and microsoft apps, so pen usage is importnant and it must be native and comfy taking notes and connection with microsoft

Awesome video as always! :) Do you happen to know if the newer smart book covers would fit on the Tab S7 FE if the S Pen cover piece of plastic is removed? If you do not know, I'd love to see that for fun for those of us who do not want to upgrade, but are enticed by the cool new origami-like shape. Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work! Your non-tech spec heavy overveiws are much more useful for mst people than the overly saturated tech youtubers who just Geekbench everything and read off the official tech spec sheet. Stay safe out there~

Thinking about getting one to run Foreflight.

Can you split the screen 3 or 4 ways, meaning having 3 or 4 apps open at the same time? Thank you in advance.

Would it be viable to play games Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail? I noticed my iPad Pro 4th gen warms up after a bit, but the S8+ does not, even though it's not as crisp as the iPad Pro display. My main uses are just only and note taking, in addition to like gaming.

Thanks for the informative videos. I'm about to order a new tablet, struggling to make a choice. I am really wondering how the exynos chip will perform in 3 years. My wife has the s6 lite 2020 and i find it unusable, so slow after 3 years. How do you think it will perform in the future?

Great video! I was looking to buy the tab S9 FE+ given that I pretty much just do media consumption and take some occational notes. However I do use my current (2019) tab s6 as a monitor for my work laptop with smart view. I was hoping this could replace my tab s6. I dont do any high end gaming (very rare cod mobile streaks). Would the tab S9 FE+ be a good buy or should I consider something else? I say the plus and not the regular size cause my tab s6 does feel a little small to use as a monitor when I travel.

I want it to edit photos in Lightroom, photoshop and do some short videos, but I may use heavy files... it won't be everyday , just when I don't want to use my computer, traveling, etc. Would it still be good for it? since I don't want to purchase a expensive one

Hi, thank you for making this video I appreciate it a lot but I was wondering I need an 11 inch tablet so that I can take it on the road with me but I need it to have cellular connectivity on it also so I was wondering do you think this tablet would work well for me. Because all I plan on doing is watching videos and playing some games and checking my emails and of course shopping. I wish Samsung would put cellular connectivity on there flag ship 11 inch tablets Thank you

I had my s9 fe tablet since December 27th,23 so when in march 2024 it stop registering spen after doing so well for January and February whilst drawing with copper nib on a paper feel screen protector I wondered why the spen just stopped working .Anyways still happy with my tablet just sad i can't draw and waiting for Amazon to deliver my new note 10+ stylus to see if it will work on it with same nibs or nibs it comes with. (This is the same s-pen that came with the s9fe originally that is not writing on ethier galaxy device it Originally previously did). Also like the easy of writing in search bars with the new improvements to s9 spen so hopefully it gets fixed with a update 😢.

Do you recommend it for a graphic designer?

I wanted to buy something for note taking. Earlier i was considering to buy s9 fe but now i am confused between the s9 fe and a9+ because of the s pen i read people saying that s pen working slows down after 8 to 10 months. Should i buy a tablet with pencil attached orrr a9+ without pencil and i should buy pencil separately???

i'd like to use it as a second screen on my laptop, but unfortunatelly this tab doesn't have the video output and my laptop doesn't support miracast... what can i do? Is there any way to make it work with a Wired connection?

Hi, thanks for video, thinking if is worth to buy this tablet FE+, for watching videos, good screen quality and sound, is it worth such money? Don't care about features, pen, drawing, taking notes, playing games. Security and support of updates, waterproof although seems ok. Could you recomend please any other model for watching videos for a pensioner not a tech people? Thinking to give as present tab to my mom new year gift.

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 ?

When you scribble with the S Pen on the tablet screen close to its black frame, preferably in the four corners of the screen, can you have good precision in your scribble? I ask because on mine, when I write very close to the frame, the writing is misaligned with the tip of the S Pen. In daily use this doesn't bother me, as it's very close to the edge, but I'm unsure whether this is a defect or not. If you or anyone reading this comment takes the test and responds to me, I would be very grateful! I'm Brazilian, my English is not good

Ive never had a tablet, but with the baby on the way I won't have space for my desktop anymore. I need a tablet that can play osrs, has an SD slot, can pay all my bills with a finger print sensor and has a good camera. Would this tablet do everything I need?

Do you think it is good for students? I would like to make notes and i'm looking for an affordable tablet

Thanks, I just got one

Can you make comparison video between s9fe and ipad 9 gen

Does it have Microsoft office in it... I need mainly to work in excel and power point... I am planing to buy separate keyboard for it.

I am an online school student and I am on a tight budget I never had a tablet before and I am using the tablet for online classes and gaming

Can you please suggest me about storage in s9 fe because I am a student so that should i go for 128 gb or 256gb Which of them is enough for me and also suggest me about wifi varient or LTE varient Which of them is more necessary that matter to me, (storage or wifi/LTE varient)

HI I Bought it today and its awesome Coming from ipad Pro 11 inch M1 Its midrange but doesn't feel like one

Is there dual audio support?

I wanted to know about HDMI on the Projector does this S9fe tab work???? I only know about the S7fe .

Amazing video Do you recomend this tablet over the xiaomi pad or oneplus pad for students?

I honestly believe that the s8 on sale is a better value considering the processor alone

Well i bought this tablet before watching this.

Can this be used as a second monitor to Windows laptop?

Went for a double deal... s24ultra 512gb with s9fe 128gb...super excited 🎉

Hey bro I am bit confused about its processor i am medical student i wnna do one time investment? So i don't trust on its processor So is s8 better or s9 fe+ ?

Excellent review. Very informative. I just purchased this tablet and just finished setting it up. However, does it support fast charging? Wireless charging? What's the deal with the charging cable, how do I connect it to the wall charger??

One question Does the s9 fe include a flashlight??? It looks like it doesn't have one.

Just bought the 5G version of this tab. Thanks for this review! it helped a LOT!

Does this tablet has the always on display function?

hello I want to ask would you recommend for a student the TAB S9 or TAB S9 FE? Also, can you do a comparison video for both of them.

Please make a video about mi pad 6 vs s9 fe vs oneplus pad

I'm a college student hoping to purchase a tablet for note-taking, games, e-mails, web surfing, and basically general use. Would you recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE over Xiaomi Pad 6?

I just bought a tab s9 fe, and I'm loving my tablet. The s pen functionality and the multi control features are amazing. I have a Samsung phone and it's really cool how they can work together. I had an ipad mini before and this is definitely way better than ipad and much bigger. 😊

Do you recommend xiaomi pad 6 or tab s9 fe as a portable replacement for laptop?? It is going to be used as entertainment and maybe a bit of excel and words

How does the s pen charge on this tablet?

S9 or S9 FE? I am going to be doing some light video editing (although sometimes may range to mid), graphic design and drawing, browsing, Ultra gaming out of the question (FE 6GB RAM is 1661 saudi riyal or 442dollars) and S9 is 2,269 or 605 dollars

Thank u❤

I want to know Which tab is more worth buying xiomi ipad 6 with 2 years of update or samsung S9 FE with 4 years of android update ... Is it really matters the update

I get the feeling these fast charges will destroy the battery longterm so I am really tempted to buy a buy a normally charger and probely get a fast charger but would maybe just get a 15w fast charge I just have the feeling the faster it's charge the more damage it will do to the battery longterm

if you had to pick one would you pick the galaxy s8 over the galaxy 9 fe? reason i ask this week at my local best buy s8 is on sale for 549 dollars that is the cheapest i ever have seen it.

S9FE+ (8gb) vs S7FE (4gb) (450$ vs 330$/ both WiFi only)? I only want one for drawing that too with SuperDisplay for Photohop on PC. The S7FE has usb 3.2 while they downgraded it to 2.0 in S9FE+, will it affect usability with SuperDisplay?

Samsung tab s9 fe 128gb( students get this for £400 with the slim keyboard case) or iPad 9th gen 64gb with the Apple Pencil. I need something under £500. Im a first year student in engineering and I take a lot of notes, I need something for note taking and studying. What would you recommend

I bought the S9 FE for office work and studying Clinical Pharmacy, and it has been doing great. Not to mention, I got the 5G version so that I can have internet access whenever I go. Also, thanks to my own "gaming test", I found out that this is not a good gaming tablet, and that is great because at the very least, I cannot distract myself that much while working 😂😂😂

Hi ..this is my first time buying a tab.... I'm looking for a tablet mostly for study purpose....note taking video and all Some what editing video I guess s6fe is apt for me ....what do you suggest??

Hopefully they put the 7 gen 2 in the next Samsung FE tablet

Hello everyone would somebody help me to find where can buy a nib for my spen s9 fe ,I dropped 2 times on concrete now I need to replace.

can this tablet support HDMI support?

What type of charger can we use 80 , 45 or 15 ...?

Can anybody tell how good is the s9 FE compared with the lenovo p12 Pro?

Will this play UHD 4k Dji drone footage?

Hello. What would you recommend Samsung tab s9 FE vs Xiaomi Pad 6 8/256gb?? As since they are almost in same price when bought with pen for the pad 6. To be used for some digital art and studies. The xiaomi pad 6 seems the more budget friendly and i can get the 8gb ram with 256gb variant. But tab s9 fe has dex, included pen, and also i have a samsung phone so much easier for connecting. It looks like i already have bias in the samsung but i wanna know if its really worth purchasing considering budget constraints right now. Or should i just buy samsung tab s6 lite(2022) and save up the money for future and get the higher model at that time?😂 thanks in advance

I’m gonna use headphones so the sound of the tablet doesn’t worry me to much ❤

Hi ! I’m a teacher by profession. I want to purchase a tablet for online teaching, specifically for teaching on RU-vid by making videos by “screen recording” and uploading on to the RU-vid. Which tablet I should buy ?? iPad 10 Generation or Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE ?? Love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳

I am a medical student and i've been using Tab S6Lite (2020) for 2 years. It's kind of laggy and i'd like a bigger screen so i'm considering S9 FE+. I'have heard alot of comments on reddit about how this tablet isn't worth it and s8 would be much better. I can get S9FE+(256GB) for $325 after trading my S6Lite. I think its'a pretty good deal. And since i use it for taking notes most of the time and watching movies sometimes. S9FE+ would be more than enough. What do you think? By the way, Does Hz matter much when taking notes? Should i consider 120Hz?
