    I've had this particular Samsung tablet for about six months now. I got it during Samsung's Early Black Friday sale, in which one could get a $50 USD discount on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Having used the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE up to that point, I traded it in for the 6GB/128GB version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and got a $300 USD trade-in discount for it, bringing my total price down to approximately $100 USD. I'm a budget-conscious digital artist and hobbyist 2D animator who likes to draw, sketch, and animate on the go, and I don’t really need any fancy stuff like the OLED screen, a high-end CPU, or USB-C video output. My go-to drawing and animation app is Clip Studio Paint EX.

    I bought my Galaxy S9 FE a few months ago, and i love it! As an artist, it is really good and I haven't had any problems up to date!

    I've commented before in your reviews on this tablet. This device is my daily driver! I love it. I have my work PC of course but I paired this device with the Samsung Keyboard and for what I do (Email, MS Office, Tech Content), it has gotten the job done with no problem everyday since the purchase of the device. I did add 128 GB of storage, but this device hasn't given me any issues. I do note that during zoom calls/teams calls it can get a little warm but that is it. Performance for me is great. Great review!

    Got one with verizon with my galaxy watch 6, not really a tab user considering my phone is normally handy but this tablet is really good mid tier specs....love the s pen and with the right case it's cool to show off
  • thank you this was really helpful! I wanted to know how this model helped up so seeing this update was great!
  • @rmackrm
    I bought one around four months ago. It's all the tablet I need, and half price. What's not to like about that?
  • my partner bought me this tab s9 FE yesterday as an advanced mothers day gift and I am loving it! They also gave us freebies including the samsung wireless keyboard and the brick charger. priced at 24990 php here in the Philippines.

    Super solid device. My only gripe is that I'm spoiled with OLED being on all my displays. I ended up just spending the $1k to get the Lenovo Tab Extreme. I consider just spending the money on the Galaxy Tab S9 ultra but I wanted to give Lenovo a try since they are basically the same size but you also get the keyboard case included and the fast charging brick.

    Love the samsung software and one UI 6
  • I have used the S9 FE+ Wifi model for 6 months for academic purposes (opening pdfs, taking notes, writing documents). I definitely agree with your performance review of this tablet. There are microlags here and there that doesn't do the smooth, fluid 90 Hz display justice. This has led me to think that picking a midrange SoC is quite underwhelming at times even for standard office work. Mine is currently at the service center since since its getting repaired for its wifi issue (thankfully its still under warranty). Yes, wifi issues on the entire tab S9/S9 FE lineup exist and there have been a number of reports on reddit. If I had another chance to choose a different tablet, it definitely wouldn't be a samsung anymore. I cannot risk another hardware issue AS BASIC AS WIFI on a tablet lineup that's >$600.

    Thank you for your review
  • @Mrwavrunnr2
    It won't be long before you have a huge following your content is fantastic. Samsung has a really good Trade In program I got a s9FE for 117.00
  • Just here to say i like your stuff. Realistic reviews for real people. I hope this helps with your income.
  • @bonusbaby801
    😂 I'm still rockin' the Tab S2. The only games I play on it are: WGT Golf, Candy Crush & a bit of Pinochle.
  • @GXSCChater
    I love this tablet and got it a week ago, i did tweaked it a bit, if you want a little better processing power, turn off the Ram Plus in the memory settings, you really only need that if you play heavy games, i dont so i turn that off to stop the tablet from using the hard drive as ram which just slows the whole system down. 6 gigs is enough for me. i did some other hacks but turning off the ram PLUS is a safe easy one.
  • @KlaasjanM
    Nice review. I'm interested in the keyboard you are using. Question does de S9 FE gets de galaxy AI functions?
