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

I was definitely really happy with the tablet. I liked the sleek minimal packaging - disappointed there is no plug but understand most items just come with a charging lead like this one (inaddition to an S pen, and the manufacturers details) The feel of the tablet overall was quite solid, sturdy and felt premium. I loved the colour and liked the fact I can place the S pen at the back easily with it being magnetic. The screen quality is great with really clear, vivid colours which I could see when watching TV shows, films and youtube clips. The screen size aswell was great, meaning I was happy to use this to watch things instead of my laptop. The speaker is sufficient but not as good as I thought it would be. It is fast enough for me when opening multiple apps and tabs in the browser. I love the fact I am able to operate it just as I can with my Galaxy phone and the connectability is fab! I was really happy to note there is expandable storage too which I did not think would be present given how the phones are going Camera quality was good enough for zoom/ video calls and basic photos but I would still stick to using my phone for better quality in my opinion. Battery life was good in my opinion and so easy and fast to charge especially using a fast charging Samsung plug. I think overall it is a good sturdy quality product but perhaps a little costly for what it is? I would recommend it for someone looking for a reliable product and I am definitely happy to have it as it fits perfectly into what I need from a tablet and my lifestyle. It also looks great too when I use it and fits perfectly with my other Samsung products.

The media could not be loaded. 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

UnboxingThe 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.SetupIf 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.HardwareThe 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.SoftwareAnyone 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!).SummaryThis 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.
