Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE WIFI 128GB
Samsung S9 FE - Pleasantly…

The Samsung S9 FE is the first time I've purchased a mid-tier Samsung tablet rather than a flagship model. It's significantly cheaper than its flagship sibling and packs a lot of features into that price point.
First, unboxing. The tablet sits snugly in the box along with the included S Pen and Charging cable. There’s no included mains adapter but for me that's a positive, I don't need any more!
Build quality is excellent and it feels like a premium device. A pleasant surprise is that it's hiding a micro-SD slot - Thank you to Samsung for keeping this feature!
Setup was a breeze thanks to the setup assistant. Simply scan a QR code from an Android phone and it’ll transfer Google accounts and Wi-Fi settings. From initial switch on it was 5-10 minutes until the tablet was ready.
Performance of the tablet has been good. This covered watching videos, playing games and general app usage. Don't expect to be playing the latest games at max settings but it can handle most at medium with good FPS.
The 1440p IPS display is bright, vibrant and supports HDR content. Black levels are pretty good considering it’s not an OLED.
I love the pressure sensitive S-Pen, Samsung have clearly put a lot of work into the features. Being able to annotate PDFs without a pdf editor is super useful.
Connectivity is also good with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth and support for USB-C dongles. However, I was disappointed to find there was no support for external monitors via USB C. You can do screen mirroring via Wi-Fi though.
Overall I'm very pleased with this device, it offers a lot of bang for the buck and it's a very good all round device. I can see us using this device for years to come.
