If you're thinking of buying an iPAD, stop and think again, this thing is a genuine ipad killer. I've been using the latest iPAD air before buying this tablet. The Samsung just does everything better. A better IPS display, better removable storage (and you can the new ultra fast UFS cards), isn't hobbled by software restrictions like Apple, has great 'DEX' desktop mode when docked to a keyboard (currently free) so you can use it on your desk like a mini laptop, etc.

An excellent tablet

Samsung Galaxy tab S9 FE is spot on. This tablet has everything an average user needs. The display is so good that I couldn't even differentiate between an OLED Tab S9 and LCD Tab S9 FE as my brother has a TAB S9. I mean, LCDs have come a long way. Tab S9 FE display produces deep blacks and excellent colors. Speakers are punchy and really good. Even though it's not suitable for heavy processing demanding tasks, it is an excellent choice for notetaking, media consumption, browsing, even gaming is good. It even has an IP68 rating. For $500, this is an excellent choice of a tablet. Samsung made this tablet with its fans in mind for sure. I would recommend this tablet 💯!!!

Best Buy shortcoming

Hello Best Buy .. there's no price for this displayed ;except monthly payments], sigh .... I quickly went to Amazon; where they have the price labeled.Someone at Best Buy screwed up.Gordo, Metro Vancouver, BC

Exactly what I was looking for!!

I was a little apprehensive about whether this tablet was going to perform poorly or not due to the stuff I’ve read online about the chipset in it but thankfully, the S9 FE hasn’t let me down. I use this tablet for media consumption, note taking, reading books, playing mobile games and medium productivity tasks. It never crashed and hasn’t lagged badly enough for me to be bothered about it. Sure, it stutters slightly every now and then but it happens so infrequently that it’s negligible. For the most part, the tablet feels smooth and definitely faster than expected. Battery lasts me about 1.5-2 days with medium use which is definitely great in my books! And as for the screen display, I was pleasantly surprised about how good it looks. It’s no amoled but it’s sharp, ... MoreI was a little apprehensive about whether this tablet was going to perform poorly or not due to the stuff I’ve read online about the chipset in it but thankfully, the S9 FE hasn’t let me down.

It’s going to be my mini on-the-go tv/notebook. LOL.

Great display and performance

Worth buying for that price point. Great spec , best Sound quality speakers , colorful and bright display , solid build quality . Great performance , longlasting battery . Enjoying it .

Great tablet with awsome performance

my initial impressions lean positively. It hits many sweet spots, from display quality to the inclusion of the S Pen, creating a value proposition that's hard to ignore in the mid-range tablet market. However, keep your eyes peeled for an updated review in a couple of weeks, where I'll delve deeper into its performance, battery life, and overall user satisfaction after more thorough use.

My great experience

I bought a Galaxy Tab A (8.0, 2019) from a friend and it has been working wonderfully well. It is indeed my business centre which I carry everywhere and do my transactions on the go. Kudos to the Galaxy magic.

Sticking With Samsung

Keep flip flopping between an iPad and Samsung, but this tablet is definitely the winner! Does everything I need it to do, easy to use, good display, I really have nothing bad to say about it.

snappy and Versatile

As usual Samsung shipped a little early, and I am so excited they did. I have been waiting for an android tablet to feel like the whole package. The inclusion of the spen really tipped my decision. I finally have something between a premium price tag and too few features, to justify getting a tablet in addition to a phone. The matching colour to my s23 was the cherry on op. Good moves by Samsung this year.
