What’s great about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9?

In our review, there really wasn’t much to complain about with the Galaxy Tab S9. Perhaps the thing that we didn’t like most was that it was pretty expensive for a tablet. Of course, with this trade-in promotion, that’s no longer a problem.

When it comes to hardware, the Galaxy Tab S9 features an 11-inch AMOLED screen that offers impressive colors and excellent black levels. It’s also powered by Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC that’s paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, depending on the model you choose.

The former features 128GB of storage, while the latter has 256GB. Regardless of which one you choose, they both come with a microSD card slot that can be used to expand the storage up to 1TB. Those that like to sketch or write their notes will be happy to know that Samsung’s S Pen stylus comes included without any extra cost.

Battery life should last all-day with moderate use, and there’s even 45W fast charging for those that need to top up quickly. When it comes to the cameras, you get a 13MP camera on the rear, and a 12MP camera on the front. These cameras should be plenty if you’re looking to get on a videocall, or just snap the occasional photo or video while you’re out and about.

Overall, this is one of the best tablets that you can buy at this size. You get plenty of power, a beautiful display, and the software is also pretty good too. Plus, Samsung is promising years of updates to keep it fresh with new features. So if you have a device that you’re looking to get rid of, we suggest taking a look at Samsung’s current promotion.
