Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ Tablet with S Pen, 256GB, Long-lasting Battery, Gray, 3 Year Manufacturer Extended Warranty (UK Version)

I've had other Tablets by Samsung and I have really enjoyed using the S9 FE+, set up was very easy, I connected the S9 FE+ to my old tablet and used the app to swap all my data over. this was painless and very straightforward. I signed into my accounts and I was away. The larger screen is fantastic, I really noticed the difference over previously having a standard sized tablet, the larger screen is great for running multiple apps/ screens side by side. The S pen has more of a natural feel of a pen so makes writing or drawing on the screen fantastic, I like the simple gestures of the s pen good to use too. the write text to print function is good most of the time, although it didn't always identify the text I'd wrote correctly, but the delete by drawing a line through text is great. The camera was good in natural light but struggles a bit indoors I found, but I probably wouldn't choose a tablet to take pictures unless it was a last resort or taking pictures of a A4 pieces of paper for the text scan feature in the camera app. Watching/Streaming films and tv was very good with the screen being large and vibrant. the AKG powered speakers are clear and powerful, although i mainly use earphones which are connected fast through Bluetooth and have good sound. Battery life is very good, charging takes a while though but it is a large battery so is to be expected. My only grumble is the same with all Samsung devices, no plug is included, just a USB-C to USB-C cable, if you don't have a plug with a USB-C input this is going to be an extra expense. overall this is a great tablet and i would highly recommend

Samsung support Dex mode on this tablet, which effectively makes it into the nearest thing you can get to a laptop without buying a laptop. I never switch out of Dex mode. The big problem with Android tablets is the obnovious Android apps written by mean programmers who can't be bothered to make them tablet-compatible. A fair number of essential apps only work in full-screen portrait mode. Ordinarily, that means a tablet sitting on a desk in landscape mode has to be picked up and manhandled to use it for such apps. Well Samsung invented Dex to fix that problem. Turn on Dex mode and go into the options in the Settings app where you can tell it to force obnoxious apps to behave nicely. You can then get your apps to work as resizable pop-ups in landscape mode, or move them to either the left or right half of the screen. Dex typically remembers sizes and locations of popups for when you bring them to the foreground again. Also it lets you pin apps that you want to always be on top. I had a cheaper tablet that tried to provide some of these features, but Dex, only from Samsung, is the best, and now I have it, I won't live without it. Beyond that, this tablet has a fingerprint reader (a very good and quick one), which I find to be absolutely essential, in fact a few apps (typically ones expecting to be on a phone) won't install on a device that doesn't have one. And if any review every tells you that the S9 FE is slow, they are SO WRONG, it is fast enough for everything I have thrown at it. (OK, I am a grown-up, I don't spend my life playing games on it. So I can't vouch for game-playing on it, but it is superb for YouTube, Netflix, Outlook, Word, Excel, Just Eat, etc etc etc.) Yes it's not cheap. But you sure as hell get your money's worth. Beautiful screen. Robust construction. Buy it a decent case!!! If you have a Samsung phone, you can access your phone calls and SMS texts from the tablet, which is super-convenient. Oh and I nearly forgot (as I don't do much handwriting or drawing) that it has a very good pen which magnetically clips into a channel on the rear. For many, that (and the associated app Samsung Notes) is no doubt a big selling feature. As you will realise, what matters more to me is Dex, and the interworking with a phone. Each to his own.

I have been using the Galaxy Tab for a few days, the initial set up was very easy, as I own a galaxy phone it detected another galaxy device was nearby and showed a QR code on the screen, scanned it with my phone and it set up my accounts ready to use. I have used the tablet for work, creating documents and presentations and for meetings. The S-pen makes taking notes and smart select very easy, the camera is excellent so I use this always for video meetings and the overall performance has been great..it has never struggled to keep up with my switching apps and editing. I use my tablet to watch movies/series more than my TV these days, the screen quality is great and sound very crisp and clear. The battery life is great and holds charge very well, I charge it every second day and even when the battery is low the overall performance does not drop. I would highly recommend this tablet for anyone, whether you are upgrading or buying your first galaxy tab this is the one to go for! You will not be disappointed, its a great allrounder that you could use for work and personal use as the clear display, fantastic camera quality, smooth switching between apps, smart select, s-pen, overall motion smoothness, performance and battery life make it an all round great tablet.

I bought a Samsung Tab S6 Lite some years ago, whilst it did it's job it never really satisfied, it always felt cramped and didn't function quite how it should have done. So, the biggest upgrade, the real estate: you wouldn't think that an extra 2" on the screen size would make that much of a difference; if you look at my second photo, you'll see that when placed side by side the Tab S9 FE+ doesn't look that much larger, but when it's in your hands it's a night and day difference in the feel. As I already mentioned, my old one felt cramped, the new one just feels wide open, it fills the space in front of your face and your hand is free to roam widely. I know you can get 14" tablets, but in light of my experience I would say they would probably end up feeling overwhelming. If anyone ever had a choice about what size tablet to purchase, I would definitely recommend 12" as the perfect place to settle on. Now, performance, unless you're running extremely demanding apps you generally won't notice problems, I can say the S9 FE+ definitely felt more responsive over my old one, but that was more a subjective feeling. What I did know was that the S9 FE+ was happily running some games that my old one couldn't, despite it technically being specced up enough, again, see my second photo showing the S9 FE+ actually playing Crying Suns whilst the S6 Lite only has a message saying it's not capable. Another performance improvement, connectivity with other devices, in this case connecting to my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 laptop, see my third photo: the S6 Lite was meant to function as a second screen, but it would only do so after enabling a hidden developer menu function. Every. Time. The S9 FE+, however, actually showed up when my laptop scanned for external devices and connected seamlessly, just a single click with the mouse; it also benefitted from the larger screen size, the higher resolution, and no lag when moving the mouse cursor across on to it. It will actually prove to be usable for this function, whether as an expanded screen or as a duplicate for someone to observe what's being displayed on my laptop. Lastly, sound output is a definite bump up from my old tablet, though a slight nitpick that my fingers tend to end up sitting over the speaker grilles... However, the quality and volume is immersive, a nice surround effect enveloping your head, you know it's powerful when your fingers start vibrating when you stick them in the wrong place! Upgrade Recommended!!!

I have previously been using the Samsung S8 to draw my artwork and designs. I was generally quite happy with that tablet and the S pen worked very well alongside it. I started to realise that I just needed a bigger tablet to really upgrade my experience. The tablet has a very good looking design and that is quite important to me because I carry it round everywhere. I'm also very happy with the S pen stylus that accompanies the tablet. Previously I have had many a problem with a stylus and that is the key reason that I use a tablet. You can also add a MicroSD card so you are not clogging up the working memory on the tablet and risk it being slow or laggy. My previous tablet which was the Samsung S8 which was always a bit slow with the fingerprint sensor, On this tablet it is much quicker and doesn't seem to think about it too long!! I am really enjoying the bigger 10.9 in screen on this model, It has a good brightness and refresh rate Which gives a very smooth scroll than previous models. The selfie camera on this tablet is particularly impressive. Not that I really want it to be as I don't really take photos using my tablet but it's a nice touch when I'm messing around with my nieces and nephews! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tablet to anybody that wants to dabble in digital art at a decent price point. It's got good power, Good visibility and it feels nice in the hand! I am Very impressed And very happy I made the upgrade!

Unboxing The Samsung tab 9 box features barely any wasteful plastic, relying on cardboard and paper to keep the tablet safe. The tablet doesn't come with a charger- just the usb c cable, so bear this in mind if you are new to the world of usb. Setup If you are already in the samsung ecosystem setup will be a breeze. Within a few minutes I had wirelessly copied over the settings from my galaxy phone, choosing which bits to transfer and which to omit. Hardware The tablet is solidly built with a bright high quality screen, with a small bezel. It seems to weigh about average for a tablet of this size, and uses a widescreen format rather than a 4 by 3 ratio, which means most video media will fill more of the screen. The speakers are very loud , but note there isn't a headphone jack, so you'll need use bluetooth for personal audio. Physical buttons include on off button (also has a fingerprint sensor to make it quicker to log on) , and a volume switch. Also included is the s-pen. As an ex galaxy note user I've always wondered how Samsung's pen interface would fare on a much bigger screen and I'm pleased to say its intuitive, giving a greater level of accuracy and creativity than non stylus tablets I've previously owned. The battery is lasting several days so far, with fast charging available. Software Anyone familiar with Samsung's ui will be at home - the tablet runs like a large phone. Both Samsung's and Googles app stores run on the device so plenty of app choices, with few pen enabled apps already installed- checkout PenUp for a fun time drawing and coloring ( specially if you have kids!). Summary This is an excellent mid range tablet which should cope well with most people's demands, with the s-pen bringing an extra level of finesse for those who use it.

I’ve been only the lookout for a great cheap tablet that I could use as a stop-gap to allow me to read ebooks and edit my photos on the go. Right from the get-go, this product has been fantastic, it arrived promptly in a well-packaged box, fully sealed, and easy tabs to open the box. Upon opening the box you are greeted with the product wrapped in a paper wrapping that is neatly sized with pull tabs to lift the product out of the internal cavity that holds the item securely. Underneath the tablet, you find a set of two slim branded white boxes that contain the USB c charging cable and instruction/warranty booklet. Also below the tablet is the multi-touch stylus in complimenting colour of the tablet. In my case I chose the silver variant which comes with a white stylus, however, it also comes in grey or light green colours, which are also fantastic. Getting to set up the tablet is just as simple and easy, upon powering the device it loads the brand's logo and eventually walks you through a step-by-step wizard, that takes only 5~10 minutes at most to complete. The device comes with 50-60% battery charge, plenty to set it up and get to use it. So far I’ve managed to easily load my ebooks to the tablet as it runs on the Android operating system and has access to a host of apps (including free apps) via the Play Store. Its screen has fantastic resolution clearly displaying the text on screen from various ebooks. Also, the processor is powerful enough to multitask between several apps, I managed to max out at about 8-10 apps before you notice some lagging but still usable. The battery also lasted a good while, I managed to recharge it to full and was able to use it for the full day, and still had some charge to use it the next day before recharging. The stylus is also lightweight, just like the tablet, and is perfectly balanced in sensitivity. It even has an onscreen bubble that guides the user as to where your stylus is pointing on the screen when it is in close proximity. This makes it great for editing photos, as you can see where your stroke with impact the photo before even applying the stroke by touching the stylus to the screen. It’s so responsive that you can even control the thickness of artistic strokes based on the pressure applied. Since it runs on Android OS it has access to lots of free and paid apps via the Play Store to aid my photo touch-ups and editing tasks. The screen is smooth and clear as a display that is bright and clear. It’s a perfect companion for my travels and my photography adventures.

Have had the Galaxy Tab S9FE+ for a couple of weeks now and so far it hasn't failed to impress, the Samsung smart products experience always starts with nice packaging and this was no different with sleek white boxes and everything neatly packaged. The tablet feels solid and robust with good feel to the buttons and the USB-C charger port is better than previous USB micro versions. The tablet was partially charged upon arrival (54%) but I plugged it in for an initial charge and it fast charged off my existing Samsung charge plug, not too sure if it will Super Fast Charge like my Note phone though. The 12.4 screen is superb, although not AMOLED like the top of the range S9, it is still bright and vibrant with great touch sensitivity and with the included S-Pen it takes some beating. Setting up was easy with the Samsung Smart Things App to transfer some apps and bookmarks from my mobile. I've not seen any lag from running many programs at once and battery life is good even under heavy use although I'm yet to test it out on site for a full day of use. So far there's not a lot to dislike! Update...battery life is excellent with a full charge lasting a few days, although not all day use only a few hours per day and not graphic heavy usage.
