The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is a stylish, slim, and remarkably durable tablet with high performance. Featuring a large display and quality stereo sound, it is ideal for work, study, and entertainment.
Design
Part of the S9 lineup, which includes three different-sized models, this tablet is the most compact but does not compromise on functionality.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 features an exceptionally thin body, only 5.9 mm thick, dimensions of 254x166 mm, and is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. The base model weighs 498 g, and the 5G version is slightly heavier at 500 g.
On the right side of the tablet are the power button, volume controls, and a tray that can hold a nanoSIM and microSD card.
Screen
This tablet features an innovative 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen, one of its key features. The display supports multi-touch and has a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, providing excellent image quality.
The screen brightness is sufficient for comfortable use even in bright sunlight, and the light sensor responds accurately. Vivid colors make the screen perfect for viewing photos, movies, and games.
The display features adaptive refresh rate technology, reaching up to 120 Hz for smoother and faster response, and can automatically switch to a more economical 60 Hz mode to reduce power consumption. Users can also adjust the white balance for additional comfort and activate a mode that makes the image warmer, ideal for prolonged reading.
Performance
The tablet is equipped with an impressive Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with 8 cores, manufactured using advanced 4nm technology, reaching speeds up to 3.36 GHz. The Adreno 740 chip handles the device's graphics tasks. In Antutu, the device scores close to 1.5 million points, making it ideal for running the most demanding 3D games at maximum graphics settings.
Despite intensive loads, the tablet's body remains cool, reflecting its well-thought-out design.
The device has ample built-in memory—128 GB, expandable up to 1 TB via a microSD card. The tablet also features 8 GB of RAM, which can be effectively increased virtually to 16 GB using the main memory resources.
Cameras
Few would choose a tablet over a smartphone for photos due to the device's size. However, the tablet's camera is excellent for quick photo and video capture, providing high-quality shots. With a 13-megapixel main camera sensor, it delivers clear images with excellent color reproduction.
Moreover, the main camera can record 4K video at 30 frames per second and includes optical stabilization to minimize unwanted movements.
The front camera is likely the most important tool of the tablet. It allows users to make video calls, stream, and participate in video conferences. With a resolution of 12 MP, it provides sharp and natural images.
Communications
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 offers the use of a single physical nano-SIM card and supports eSIM for convenient connectivity. The tablet also supports 5G connectivity. While using it as a traditional smartphone may seem unusual, mobile internet on the tablet ensures internet access wherever there is no Wi-Fi. The tablet also features a full set of communication technologies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, and global positioning systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, and QZSS, ensuring reliability and accuracy in connections.
