I think Samsung did a great job with the price point and the compromises they made with this device aren't too unreasonable when comparing it with it's competitors. I can think of a certain latest fruit device with a 60Hz refresh rate, a notch that should have been way less visible already and a usb-c that should have been there half a decade ago😂 Some compromises from tech companies are just inexcusable. Samsung did alright with this. Great review!

This is my daily driver for the most part. Emails, MS Office, Samsung Notes, web browsing, multiple screen layout, Dex etc. It has handled everything I've thrown at it with great battery life. Great review.

Thanks so much for the video! I just got myself a tab S9 FE+ every comment I say recommends tab S8 but I really wanted the extra real estate on the + model. Getting it this week so hopefully it was a great buy!

i just bought the tabket with my student discount and im glad to know that ive made a good descision with my purchase for my uni and hobby with this tablet :D

I am glad I was able to watch this honest review. The comments are also good since you are replying to them with sense and helpful advice. I am planning to buy the tab S9 Fe a bit hesitant at first but after watching this I made up my mind. What he is saying was true for me. I will use the tab for productivity and not mainly for gaming so I guess the fe is really a good buy. Extra ram and better processor will not have significant difference in my case since the lower specs can serve it's purpose at the end of the day. Thanks android digest!

I ordered this tablet a week ago (12GB RAM 256GB, so I'm still waiting for it to come out) and I think it's going to be perfect for me. I am in university and using my 2in1 laptop for my notes, but I wanted something I can use in addition and when my laptops battery dies (it is a couple of years old, runs great, I just don't have a way to charge it between classes). I don't need the best performance with the blackest black. I need a small reliable device for school work and the occasional entertainment purpose :D

Excited for mine to arrive. Was only $199 after the trade in offer for my tab s6 lite.

Does anyone know if you need wifi or can you put a SIM card in this to use internet? Thanks

This was one of the best and most useful reviews I have seen. Great comparison between competing devices and the trade-offs. Now looking for a refurbished s8. Thank you!

Its soo good to have people with reasonable reviews. Man I have an S23 ultra but this Tab S9FE just filled that little gap for extra screensize and some easier note taking with goodnotes app etc... And yes Geekbench scores are not that high (roughly half of my phone) but its a good product for that price with spen in box with that good OneUI.

Hello! Given that you have the S9 FE and the S9 model cases could you please confirm which cases from your S9 video definitely fit the FE model? Like, the camera and exact size? I know in comments you've said that they fit but other people have reported that they are a tiny bit too small. It has been impossible to find accurate information online - even samsung said the S9 bookcover case wasn't compatible with S9 FE but they don't have an FE version available. I beg of you!

Traded in my tab S6 lite for the s9 FE for 199.99 plus the case for free 🎉 totally worth it. Have had it for 8 days now and im so in love ❤❤❤

Im a college student. Looking for a tab that will mainly servse as a note taking tab and maybe some COD every now and then. This is whithin my budget (450-470 usd). Should i go for it? Any other substitutes?

Bought the 9 FE last week for my wife, to replace her S6 lite 2020. Samsung offered $250 trade-in, and a free cover, so it was a no brainer.

great video, incredibly comprehensive! thank youuu

Hi should I buy the S9 FE when I am going to game on it (Not that heavy games) Take notes Maybe YouTube or Netflix and google and take it to school for learning- or should I go for the s8??? It is in my budget but I don't know. Please Reply?

Hey, would you use a screen protection on the screen or not? I read somewhere on the internet that it destroys the spen's tip, but I am also afraid of scratches on the screen surface.

Thank you for this great review. May I ask... if you open the Kindle app on this device, can you do a split screen and have the e-book on one side and a notebook on the other? And will you be able to copy text from an e-book and paste it into a notebook, or drag and drop? Also, will you be able to annotate directly on an e-book, whether e-pub or pdf format? These are functions I would need, since I do a lot of reading and note-taking. Thank you again!

As the S-pen doesnt connect via BT , is palm rejection possible in samsung notes/ MS one note ? Thanks in advance
