Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+

Samsung recently unveiled the more budget-conscious Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ as an economical alternative to their flagship Galaxy Tab S9+ tablet. Boasting an expansive 12.4″ LCD display and powerful Exynos 1380 processor as well as IP68 rating and S Pen stylus capabilities, this tablet could offer much. But is it worth purchasing and where should it compare with similar products in the market today? Let’s find out.

Design and Display

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ feels and looks premium, thanks to its metal frame and glass back. Measuring 11.24 by 7.30 inches by 0.26 inches and weighing 1.38 pounds respectively, this tablet comes in four colors (gray, lavender, mint, or silver) to match each taste – plus there is also an embedded fingerprint sensor at its power button along with USB-C port, microSD slot as well as four speakers tuned by AKG tuned speakers (included), plus it includes a pogo pin connector which allows attaching keyboard covers separately).

The centerpiece of the tablet’s appeal lies in its 12.4-inch LCD display with a resolution of 2,560 by 1,600 and a refresh rate of 90Hz, offering sharp images at excellent viewing angles with minimal bezels for increased contrast and dynamic range support. HDR10+ technology further boosts contrast while Corning Gorilla Glass 5 serves to protect it against scratches or drops.

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ comes equipped with an S Pen stylus that magnetically attaches to its rear cover, offering comfortable use while supporting 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity with a low latency of 9ms; perfect for writing, drawing, and editing purposes! Plus it’s IP68 certified meaning it’s water and dust-resistant!

Camera and Connectivity

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ has a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of an 8MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. The main camera can capture decent photos and videos in good lighting conditions but struggles in low light and with dynamic range.

The tablet has a 12MP front-facing camera, which is located on the top bezel in landscape mode. The front camera can take good selfies and support face unlock.
