Samsung is a frontrunner when it comes to high-grade Android tablets that can be used for both professional and personal tasks. And the advent of the Galaxy Tab S9 series proves yet again that the company’s devices are a dominating force in the tablet space. Not only do these devices run on cutting-edge hardware but these also provide stunning user experiences that can’t be had on any other device in the market. This new range, which includes the Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+, and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, is set to win over the market in the coming year. Here’s everything you need to know about the new devices from the house of Samsung.
Gorgeous displays that deliver a jaw-dropping viewing experience!
The most incredible aspect of all these tablets is their adoption of massive Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. Arguably the best displays in the market, these panels create a breathtaking experience when placed in such large form factors. The Galaxy Tab S9 is sized at 11 inches and offers 1600 x 2560 pixels of resolution, while the Tab S9+ goes to 12.4 inches to deliver 1752 x 2800 pixels. Justifying the Ultra in its name, the Tab S9 Ultra offers a whopping 14.6 inches of screen estate with a resolution of 1848 x 2960 pixels. And despite these large panels, all three tablets are really compact, thanks to their extremely thin bezels.
Large sizes aside, the beauty of these displays lies in their Dynamic AMOLED 2X nature and also in the fact that they all support a 120Hz refresh rate, giving users access to ultra-slick scrolling and high frame-rate gaming. Apart from delivering vivid colours and deep blacks, these displays also offer high brightness levels that make them worthy of playing HDR10+ content. So, it’s not just your presentations and work documents that will be displayed in full glory but also your streaming apps, giving you access to hair-raising entertainment experiences. Imagine playing your favourite games on these gorgeous and massive displays.Many scenarios in our professional lives require us to use our devices outdoors and sometimes this leads us to working under direct sunlight, making screen visibility extremely dull. No more squinting of the eyes though, since the Galaxy Tab S9 range features the brand’s amazing Vision Booster technology, which automatically adjusts brightness and contrast to significantly enhance visibility under sunlight. Lastly, the amazing displays onboard these tablets are complemented by quad speaker systems tuned by AKG. Moreover, they provide support for Dolby Atmos, enabling immersive surround sound listening.
Unparalleled durability and portability
Tablets just can’t get tougher than this. The Galaxy Tab S9 range has astonished everyone with its high-grade durability, which is demonstrated by the fact that these are all IP68-rated for water and dust resistance. This allows them to survive for up to 30 minutes under 1.5 meters of clean water. While you certainly won’t experience such a scenario in real life, you will indeed feel peace of mind when using your tablet. Protecting these tablets from bumps is their Armor Aluminum frame that gives them immense protection against drops and scratches.
Even the newly enhanced S Pen that’s offered along with these tablets at no extra cost features IP68 certification. This is quite an important addition since you’re more likely to drop your S Pen in water than the tablet. Speaking of this accessory, it has been granted new bi-directional charging, allowing you to place it on the back of the tablet without worrying about the direction. Moreover, the new S Pen features an enhanced click and flattened sides that make it a delight to use.
Despite such large displays being adopted by these tablets, you need not be concerned about their portability and ergonomics. The incredibly thin Galaxy Tab S9 tablets are so light, that holding them with one hand isn’t a hassle at all. The Galaxy Tab S9 is 5.9mm thin and weighs 498 grams. The larger Galaxy Tab S9 is even thinner, at 5.7mm and weighs just 586 grams. The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is the thinnest among the three, having just a 5.5mm profile, while its weight is only 732 grams.
Thumping performance in all departments
We’re looking at the highest-end Android tablets here so it’s no surprise that they have adopted the leading-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chips. This means top-notch performance is absolutely guaranteed for every kind of task you run on the devices. With their massive screens, these tablets showcase a sprawling user interface with ample space for multi-tasking. To support this multitasking, Samsung has equipped them with ample memory as well. The Galaxy Tab S9 can be purchased with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, whereas the Galaxy Tab S9+ and the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra come with 12GB of RAM as standard.
In terms of storage too, there’s no compromise from Samsung. There’s a choice of 128GB or 256GB on the Galaxy Tab S9 but the Galaxy Tab S9+ ships with 256GB of storage as standard. On the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, you can opt for 256GB or 512GB of space. And just in case you use up all that storage, which you most probably won’t, these tablets carry dedicated microSD card slots for expansions of up to 1TB. While selecting all three of these devices, you’ll have the choice of getting 5G-supporting cellular versions as well, allowing untethered outdoor usage. Along with the support for a physical SIM card, these tablets also feature E-SIM support, which means users will be able to use dual-SIM functionality with these tablets.
The cutting-edge nature of the Galaxy Tab S9 series’ hardware doesn’t stop there. Massive batteries find their way into the devices, allowing non-stop usage over long durations. The Galaxy Tab S9 gains an 8,400mAh unit, the Galaxy Tab S9+ gets a 10,090mAh unit, and the Ultra model gets a whopping 11,200mAh battery. With such huge batteries, you can also use your tablets to wirelessly power up other devices like your phone or earbuds. Furthermore, the Super Fast Charging feature offers 45W wired charging, letting you instantly juice up your tablets.
Top-notch productivity with utility-centric features
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series is built from the ground up keeping professionals in mind. As if their massive screens and intense performance weren’t already helping them replace PCs for most people, they also deliver PC-like productivity with their multitasking-focused software. All three devices from the Galaxy Tab S9 range can run multiple windows at a time and even offer pop-up apps for quick usage. The trusty taskbar is present at the bottom all the time, helping you drag and drop your favourite apps into the multi-window interface.
If you’re a creative professional, these devices are ready to give wings to your creativity. Using apps like LumaFusion, you can expertly create breathtaking video clips, while taking advantage of the S Pen and the massive screens of these tablets. Using apps like Clip Studio Paint, you can employ the S Pen to paint pictures, sketch plans, animate comics and a lot more. Or you can use something like NotePaper Screen for getting a smooth, paper-like feel while you jot down your notes or create your art pieces. Handwriting-to-text is better than ever on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 range but taking notes is made even more intuitive by the ability to collaborate in real-time with others who’re using Galaxy devices.Stunning cameras that capture the minutest details
Professionals need good cameras for their remote work and plenty of other usage scenarios and Samsung is providing them with just that. The Galaxy Tab S9 benefits from a 13MP rear camera and a 12MP front camera. The Galaxy Tab S9+ features a 13MP main and 8MP ultra-wide camera on its back and a 12MP snapper on its front. The Ultra model gets the same 13MP + 8MP rear camera setup but it adopts dual 12MP cameras on the front as well. This allows its front camera to offer a stunning ultra-wide view that’s ideal for attending meetings with multiple people around you.
