I'm absolutely thrilled with my new Galaxy Tab S9+! As an owner and user of many Samsung devices, I'm generally a fan of what they offer but this Tab S9+ has given me a few pleasant surprises that will ensure it remains one of my main day to day devices.The AMOLED screen is absolutely gorgeous - crisp and bright, it's perfect for streaming shows & movies or just looking at your own photos on a bigger screen. Size for me is perfect - just inside the goldilocks zone of not too big and not too small. The other models (Tab S9 & Tab S9 Ultra) are almost identical on the inside but with different sized displays so that's more of a personal preference.I've always been a fan of optional MicroSD storage, which the Tab s9+ offers - however with 512GB of internal storage ... MoreI'm absolutely thrilled with my new Galaxy Tab S9+! As an owner and user of many Samsung devices, I'm generally a fan of what they offer but this Tab S9+ has given me a few pleasant surprises that will ensure it remains one of my main day to day devices.The AMOLED screen is absolutely gorgeous - crisp and bright, it's perfect for streaming shows & movies or just looking at your own photos on a bigger screen. Size for me is perfect - just inside the goldilocks zone of not too big and not too small. The other models (Tab S9 & Tab S9 Ultra) are almost identical on the inside but with different sized displays so that's more of a personal preference.I've always been a fan of optional MicroSD storage, which the Tab s9+ offers - however with 512GB of internal storage it really doesn't feel like I need it. I can load this thing up with Movies & TV for when I'm on the go, and the 5G capabilities mean that I'm not tethered to a wifi point to make the most of the tablet.The device itself is so thin and light. The S pen is pretty cool, but not something I would personally use on a day to day basis.Now, some of the unexpected things I'm loving about the tablet. I'm able to use it as a second screen with my laptop, which is something that I have wanted to do with my tablet for aaages. In the past this involved installing 3rd party software or using hardware adapters (also with 3rd party software!) but now it's baked in to the OS and recognised natively on Windows. I usually work in a multi-monitor environment, so this is invaluable for working away from the office.I'm not usually impressed by the battery life of tablets I've owned in the past (including Samsung's own), but this thing easily lasts me all day - which is a nice surprise. I find myself charging it every couple of days (or just topping it up) with some medium use throughout the day, music playing for longer periods and plenty of standby.The in-screen fingerprint reader is really handy for unlocking the device (text input can be a bit of a pain depending on how you’re using/holding it) and it's great to see this included.All of this, however, comes at a hefty price tag - this is not an inexpensive purchase! There are many other (cheaper) options on the market. However, none of these come even close to what Samsung have are offering in terms of top of the line software and hardware in the Galaxy Tab S9+. Having made that jump, I can happily say I'm entirely satisfied with my purchase.

The Tab S9+ is a robust yet thin and light tablet that grabs your attention with its superb display and class leading build quality.Setting the tablet up for the first time, I was pleased with how quickly the OS let me personalise the look and feel of the tablet using the Theme app and screensaver app. While I was initially worried my favourite apps wouldn't work on such a large screen, they were all compatible, simply scaling to fit the display size.In the hand the tablet feels extremely slender, and were it not for the premium metal build I would have worried about bending or breaking it in when in a bag. Despite how thin it is, I wasn't pleasantly surprised that neither the battery life and general speed at which it undertakes day to day tasks have been ... MoreThe Tab S9+ is a robust yet thin and light tablet that grabs your attention with its superb display and class leading build quality.Setting the tablet up for the first time, I was pleased with how quickly the OS let me personalise the look and feel of the tablet using the Theme app and screensaver app. While I was initially worried my favourite apps wouldn't work on such a large screen, they were all compatible, simply scaling to fit the display size.In the hand the tablet feels extremely slender, and were it not for the premium metal build I would have worried about bending or breaking it in when in a bag. Despite how thin it is, I wasn't pleasantly surprised that neither the battery life and general speed at which it undertakes day to day tasks have been compromised. To the contrary, the s9+ is remarkably smooth and loads apps and websites faster than any android device I've used and on par with my laptop. In fact, Samsung have included an option to use the tablet in a 'desktop' like experience using a mode called DeX, which works very well when connected to a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.On to my favourite thing about this tablet; the display. It is bright, punchy, incredibly detailed and runs smoothly at a high frame rate. I did fibd myself needing to invest in Samsung's anti-reflection screen cover as I often use the Tablet during train journeys and the constant reflections were a distraction. I'm happy to say this completely resolved the issues and in fact I find I can now comfortably view the display at a significantly lower brightness level, helping battery.Samsung have thrown the kitchen sink at this tablet to ensure they cover the needs of any user. For business users it's an excellent conferencing device with a high quality set of cameras, loud and crisp speakers and an array of microphones. For creatives, there is the S Pen which I enjoyed using from time to time but ended up leaving it in a drawer as it cannot be stored inside the tablet.I'm highly recommend the S9+ to anyone looking for a all singing and all dancing productivity and media powerhouse that is unapologetically premium, but you might find another tablet that satisfies a more limited use case at a lower price point.

This tablet is truly incredible, a powerhouse of productivity and entertainment.Even before opening the box, I was struck by how slim and lightweight it felt - upon opening...wow.The Tab S9 is incredibly slim, looks incredible, and feels great in the hand. The 11" 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is beautiful in all conditions, and is great for watching HDR content with deep blacks and incredibly vibrant colours. This is similar on the larger S9+ and S9 Ultra models.I opted for the 5G model, and was able to scan the eSIM of my provider during setup for easy access to 5G networking, which gets great speeds. As a regular Android user, all of my settings etc were effortlessly transferred during the setup process, and it was easy to get up and running with all the ... MoreThis tablet is truly incredible, a powerhouse of productivity and entertainment.Even before opening the box, I was struck by how slim and lightweight it felt - upon opening...wow.The Tab S9 is incredibly slim, looks incredible, and feels great in the hand.

As a regular Android user, all of my settings etc were effortlessly transferred during the setup process, and it was easy to get up and running with all the usual apps. One feature I particularly like is linking the phone and messaging apps to my phone, allowing calls and messages to be taken on either device depending on what is to hand.Multi-tasking is supported natively in OneUI, with picture-in-picture and side-by-side modes available. I've found it really handy to use the S-Pen to annotate and make notes on manuals and documents for work and university. DEX mode is also available, which allows a more desktop-like experience when working with a mouse and keyboard, either on the beautiful AMOLED, an external display, or both.Performance is phenomenal thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 8GB of RAM. Even when combining demanding gaming with other background tasks, the tablet never shows any signs of slowing. I got 256GB of storage (128GB also available) and there's a microSD slot supporting up to an additional 1TB if required.With an Armor Aluminium casing, the Tab S9 can stand up to the bumps and scrapes of day-to-day life while still feeling lightweight and great in the hand. The IP68 rating on both tablet and S Pen means they've shrugged off rain and splashes, and should be able to handle a dunk if the worst happens! I chose to supplement this with a rugged case and screen protector, and Samsung offers a selection of accessories to help get the most out of the tablet, including Keyboard cases, privacy screens, and ruggedized outdoor cases.In summary, I was expecting a lot of this tablet, and have been blown away at every turn. It really is the ideal device for almost every situation, whether its working hard, wiling away a long journey with some Netflix, or just scrolling social media before bed.
