Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ WIFI 256GB
Solid Tablet but initial…

Compared to the regular S9 tablet, this one's missing a few bells and whistles, but here's the kicker—it's only half the price! Inside the box, there is the tablet, the S Pen, a USB-C charging cable, and, oh, some paperwork.
Now, onto the specs and design. The Galaxy Tab S9 Fe+ looks a lot like the regular version with its aluminium frame, aluminum back, and glass front. It's slim, but this 12.4-inch version is a bit on the heavy side, weighing in at over 600g. The back has the Samsung logo and an 8-megapixel main camera that does 4K video at 30 FPS. Watch out, though—fingerprints show up easily, and you'll be doing some wipe-downs. But hey, it's IP68 water and dust-resistant, so it can handle a bit of splash.
The display is where it's at—12.4 inches of LCD goodness. Yeah, it's not AMOLED, but it's still rocking a 90Hz refresh rate. Colours pop, contrast is decent, and the display hits 700 nits. Just don't take it out in the sun too much. The audio comes through stereo speakers, and it's pretty clear and loud.
Running on Android 13 (but probably jumping to 14 soon) with One UI 5.1, you get all those Samsung apps. Fingerprint sensor is on the top which is not the greatest, but face detection is there to save the day. I'm digging the split-screen action, too.
Now, let's talk about the S Pen. You can clip it on the back, and it charges. Double press the button, and you're in the pen menu. It's got the basics covered—note creation, smart select for screenshots, screen write for quick annotations, and even a doodle mode using the front camera. And don't forget DEX mode—it's like turning your tablet into a mini laptop.
Performance? It's rocking Samsung's own Exynos 1380 chipset with 12 gigs of RAM. Runs smooth in all modes, even gaming. For Cameras, it has a 8-megapixel normal and 8-megapixel ultra-wide in the rear and an 12-megapixel front cam. Decent for video calls. Battery life is okay with an 10,000mAh battery—about 12 hours on normal use, 8 on heavy use. But charging is limited to 45 Watts, it's not breaking any speed records. Overall a solid tablet but I think the price might be too high for most and with the discounts on the original tab S9, you might be better off getting that version.
