Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ Tablet with S Pen, 128GB, Long-lasting Battery, Gray, 3 Year Manufacturer Extended Warranty (UK Version)

First Impressions: As a busy professional in my 40s, I'm used to juggling multiple tasks and demanding tech. So, when I got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, I was immediately impressed by its sleek design and eco-friendly packaging. Ditching the unnecessary bulk felt refreshing, and setting it up with my existing Galaxy S22 via QR code was a breeze – the easiest setup I've ever experienced with any gadget! Performance Powerhouse: I primarily use tablets for multitasking, social media, gaming, and browsing. The FE+ tackled everything with ease. I could play GTA3 flawlessly while downloading other games in the background – not a single stutter or lag. It's a multitasking beast! The vibrant 12.4-inch display made everything a joy, from browsing newsfeeds to watching movies. Colors were crisp, viewing angles were generous, and the clarity truly enhanced the visual experience, especially when admiring landscape photos I took with the camera (more on that later!). S Pen Versatility: Speaking of the S Pen, it's a game-changer! The built-in pen is incredibly versatile, perfect for jotting down notes, sketching, or even editing photos. And the best part? My existing Galaxy S22 pen works seamlessly with the FE+, eliminating the need for extra accessories. This continuity across devices is something I truly appreciate. Camera Captures Memories: While I wouldn't consider myself a photography enthusiast, the FE+ surprised me with its camera quality. Family portraits and landscape shots came out stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details. Even zoomed in, the pictures retained their clarity, making it a joy to capture life's moments. Other Highlights: Battery life has been impressive, easily lasting a full day of moderate use. The speakers deliver decent sound, though stereo speakers would be a welcome upgrade for audiophiles. The software experience is smooth and familiar, thanks to the familiar Samsung interface. And pre-installed apps haven't been intrusive, which is always a plus. Overall Recommendation: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is a fantastic tablet for anyone looking for a versatile powerhouse. It excels at multitasking, delivers stunning visuals, and boasts a surprisingly good camera. The S Pen integration and seamless connection to my existing Galaxy phone make it an even more compelling option. If you're a busy professional or someone who simply wants a reliable device

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

First thing I noticed when unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE was how premium it felt. Samsung certainly hasn’t scrimped on the build quality in an effort to keep the price lower as per the mantra of their FE devices - it feels as good as the premium S9 tablet which I also have. The tablet is very thin, feels very sturdy and feels pretty premium with its aluminium and glass build. This is the biggest tablet I’ve bought for the purpose of media consumption at 12.4”, and the screen is great for it. Not quite as striking as an OLED but a fairly good LCD with decent black levels, and the 90Hz refresh rate it feels pretty smooth. The stereo speakers on the sides of the device sound reasonable, not tinny or poor quality that you might find on a cheaper tablet. Battery life for watching videos has also been great, and looking forward to testing it more. The one area I could tell where the FE does save money is on the processor. There has been a couple times where the tablet has stuttered a bit when launching and running apps, but this didn’t happen often enough to be annoying. The included S-Pen is a great extra, and handwriting recognition worked well. I was actually amazed that the pen doesn’t require charging on the back of the device like the one on the premium S9 model… I’m actually a little confused as to how it works as well as the version that needs charged, as it seems to do 95% of the same job! Overall I’m very impressed with the value for money that you get with this tablet. It strikes a great balance between features that most people would want and use, and the price that you pay.

Setting up was painless from my Galaxy S23. Connecting the two with a USB cable and a scan of a QR code and my software was duplicated. A recent update to One UI 6.0 makes it more like having a super sized phone, as the tablet can make calls / SMS through my linked phone. The screen admittedly is not OLED, but still very good – 12.4”, bright and vibrant - then again the full-fat Tab S9 is twice the price. The option to add a microSD memory card up to 1TB is great. Some have complained about problems multitasking, but as it is a tablet - I only usually run one App at a time and it excels. Streaming video and music is great as the speakers are very good and it’s IP68 water and dust resistant. I’ve been making use of the PENUP software to rekindle my interest in art, which works surprising well. Battery life is very good. Using a 45W charger (not included) it take about an for a full charge. I don’t really need to keep checking it, as it’s generally still has 50% charge when I think of topping up. No headphone jack, but you could always buy a USB-C to headphone convertor. Handwriting recognition is good feature, to convert to text or even dial a number from one you have written on the screen. All in all, a great mid-spec tablet, which beats all the entry level competition and punches above its weight – to challenge the best in class. It’s also a great companion for a Samsung smartphone improving the experience of reading digital media and streaming content.

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!!!

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.

Having owned one of the earlier model first Samsung tablets, which I was using up until quite recently, I was amazed what a different beast Samsung now has to offer. Samsung's technology, graphics and just as important sound capabitiies have progressed so much in such a short time. The overall sophisticated feel and look of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is of quality and sleek styling. The tablet was extremely easy to set up once out of the stylish packaging and pretty much guided you through the whole process from start to finish. Charging time is extremely quick but would have liked it to hold its charge a little longer than it did. I found it made more sense turning the tab off completely when not in use to save from charging it so often. Once setup, it was very easy finding my way around, especially when adding apps and setting up my emails. The graphics were outstanding and the 12.4 inch screen was great to surf the net with but particularly came into it's own when watching movies. The colours, quality and sound could rival most high end television brands yet alone rival tablets! I've never felt the urge to watch movies on anything other than my main TV but since owning the tablet it has been great to have the additional option. The tablet has been a useful tool for my university note taking and creating sketches with the handy S Pen. Far cleaner than scrappy bits of paper which were easily mislaid. The unit also has a slot for an SD card which is a handy feature for obtaining additional memory. Slight disappointment when I found I could not use headphones as no place to insert them so will need to purchase Bluetooth ones. I highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ for work, pleasure and that all important college / university work

Purchased for elderly relative after her computer broke down. It did not come with a guide on basic use (so e.g. she was unsure how to switch it on). No charger plug, only a charging lead, to make things worse lead was not "standard" USB A to USB C, but was USB C both ends so would not fit any existing USB charger plugs she had (I had to give her one of my spare charger plugs & leads). Product should come with instructions & plug & leads such that someone can use it immediately instead of providing no plug and a non standard charge lead. Her initial bad experience of being unable to get up & running straight away has made her initially unhappy with the purchase - these little details are important, the old cliche "first impressions count". To be fair to the product, once she was up and running (needed my help), screen crisp & clear, tablet fast & responsive in use. So although Tablet is great, giving only 3 stars due to missing charger plug, non standard lead & zero instructions as cannot assume all users are tech savvy & have necessary additional kit & can get started without a bit of basic beginner information.
