What an Android Tablet…

So when it comes to Android tablets I always assume Samsung is probably the best, so that's why I was excited to try the Samsung Tab 9 Fe. I decided it only made sense to write this on the tablet and more later but the on screen keyboard worked quite well when paired with Samsung notes.
The first surprise was that the tablet and packaging was in small enough packaging to fit through my letter box. When taking out the tablet it straight away felt premium despite it being the budget version of their tablet range.
The tablet comes with the pen which is a nice addition but does not come with a charger. All models seem to be Wi-Fi and cellular so there is no choice if you just want the Wi-Fi version so you might be paying slightly more for something you don't need.
The screen straight away looks clean, crisp and full of colour. I was really impressed with the colours and watching content from Netflix or YouTube that looked great on the screen. Audio on the other hand is a bit mixed, there are 2 speakers around the tablet on each of the shorter sides. They sound reasonable but only work well in landscape mode, using the device in portrait to watch any media the sound sounds like its coming from the wrong locations, but does still work just not optimum as if its leaning on your lap your now covering one of the 2 speakers.
I was really pleased to see that Samsung Dex comes on this tablet so it makes it a more usable and portable laptop replacement for basic tasks. Either get a USB C dongle or use Bluetooth devices and you have a nice portable laptop replacement.
Internet browsing seems quick and I didn’t find any websites that slowed down the device including YouTube so happy with browsing performance even with desktop sites.
Camera quality is about on par with the expectations on a tablet but is good enough for document scanning or basic video calls. But I wouldn’t use it to take pictures too often etc, but fine for day to day uses.
Battery life is good for the device, still not up to the standby times of an iPad but a good standby time of a few days when it’s not being used. I’d recommend charging unit every few days, maybe 3 or 4 days if your using for light use. Also supports quick charging so even 30 minutes on charge from a decent charger gives you a good charge percentage.
Overall I was really surprised with the performance of this tablet, its much better than I was expecting and actually wish I’d gone forth larger size to be a better la
