Great value for money tablet!

First thing I noticed when unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE was how premium it felt. Samsung certainly hasn’t scrimped on the build quality in an effort to keep the price lower as per the mantra of their FE devices - it feels as good as the premium S9 tablet which I also have. The tablet is very thin, feels very sturdy and feels pretty premium with its aluminium and glass build.
This is the biggest tablet I’ve bought for the purpose of media consumption at 12.4”, and the screen is great for it. Not quite as striking as an OLED but a fairly good LCD with decent black levels, and the 90Hz refresh rate it feels pretty smooth. The stereo speakers on the sides of the device sound reasonable, not tinny or poor quality that you might find on a cheaper tablet. Battery life for watching videos has also been great, and looking forward to testing it more.
The one area I could tell where the FE does save money is on the processor. There has been a couple times where the tablet has stuttered a bit when launching and running apps, but this didn’t happen often enough to be annoying.
The included S-Pen is a great extra, and handwriting recognition worked well. I was actually amazed that the pen doesn’t require charging on the back of the device like the one on the premium S9 model… I’m actually a little confused as to how it works as well as the version that needs charged, as it seems to do 95% of the same job!
Overall I’m very impressed with the value for money that you get with this tablet. It strikes a great balance between features that most people would want and use, and the price that you pay.
