    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!

    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!
  • @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?
  • @papagandalf9411
    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.

    I came across your channel a few months ago and I'm really impressed! Your content is super informative and easy to follow. I hope you get the recognition you deserve and keep growing!
  • 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.

    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
  • @pallettownbry
    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.
  • @Jit-np5wl
    Love the samsung software and one UI 6

    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.
  • @Roadrunner3031
    Would there be a big difference in getting the 8 GB vs 6 GB memory version? If not what type of applications would need the higher memory? Would the higher memory help in faster loading of internet sites, for example?
  • bought in the UK for £389 from John Lewis (mainly because I had £150 of gift cards sitting around). Good video! Primarily going to use it for taking work notes (OneNote) in meetings and using Whiteboard in Teams when presenting, so not looking for anything super expensive. Low latency stylus & note taking experience were the main things I was interested in and have a Samsung phone, so slightly biased towards Samsung lol :)
  • @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
  • @bonusbaby801
    😂 I'm still rockin' the Tab S2. The only games I play on it are: WGT Golf, Candy Crush & a bit of Pinochle.
  • @fevad1246
    I bought this tab last month and it's been amazing!!! i was going to be dissapointed at 90hz and lcd coming from galaxy m54 with 120 hz amoled but honestly tab has been better than my phone and laptop! btw just as you confirmed my request(you said that 1440p and even 4k is supported in this tab) my internet did get better to be able to play 1440p videos though with some loading circles but atleast nice to know that it is supported but one question still remanins that is how is 4k supported? my internet isn't capable of 4k loading so idk but you said even 4k is supported which doesnt make sense cuz it physically only has 1440p resolution so how 4k is possible? OVERALL LOVE THIS TAB

    I have the S9 FE tablet with 5G and am a bit disappointed. With minimal use it suddenly doesn't want to turn on. I did a hard reset and it worked for a day and then it played dead again. I still have three months warranty on it so hopefully Samsung will fix and return it quickly. The tablet is great to have. The most disturbing things happening is that some apps will not work with the new updates anymore and it's showing "not compatible". This is also happening on the S9 Ultra tablet and the S8 Plus with 5G.
  • @fikayo548
    How long would you reckon it would last before it needs an upgrade?
