I have wanted a large tablet for sometime but there has been nothing that available that fits with my prefered ecosystem - this changed with the S9 Ultra.
The tablet itself is ultimately a large piece of glass, the 14.6" screen is huge and definitely requires two hands to operate, it works perfectly with the keyboard cover that came for free due to an ongoing promotion. Despite being a large display the bezel is incredibly small (boasting a 90.7% screen to body ratio) and it is barely noticeable when working or watching content. The tablet is scary thin at 5.5mm which for comparison is thinner than a standard pen, this was concerning as I thought it would be easy to bend or break - I can safely say this hasn't happened and doesnt feel like it will - the aluminum frame is very strong and feels very solid. It is not that heavy and something I can easily throw in a bag to use whilst travelling - it is the perfect companion to a long train or plane ride!
The main use for me was work in the creative space - doubts for can it handle multiple applications or graphic intensive tasks have been squashed. It is a powerhouse that I have not seen lag once - I am now competiting against it to see if I can make it. It handles design tasks with ease using the available apps however one downside that I hope Samsung resolve with software is that at present the main creative suite for photography and design apps are limited to mobile versions. I would love see optimised desktop version that competitor tablets have as it more than has enough bandwidth to support, nevertheless you are fully capable to get the job done with the available tools. The 120Hz along with HDR10+ screen makes design work even more vivid - I am now switching to performing more and more photo editing work from my laptop to the tablet just to have the level of colour accuracy available.
If you are looking for the best tablet in the market for content watching there this is a clear winner, the battery life combined with the incredible screen makes it perfect for the long Netflix binges. It has an IP rating, a nice benefit over the previous versions, so far I have tested on the side of the bath and while washing up and it has been able to handle the odd splash here and there. I haven't been brave to test the full scope of the IP68 resistance but its nice to know that a fall into the sink or bath wouldn't kill it!
Overall I love the tablet and look forward to testing further - a true all rounder
