My Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ 256GB arrived in a super slim white flat box along with the S Pen, a USB type C charging cable and pin for opening the SD memory card slot. First impression was how slim the tablet was which did mean that there is nowhere to stow the pen unlike my old tablet (A minor issue to be honest).
After charging I set about setting up the tablet with my existing Google account credentials. I decided to copy the apps and settings from my Samsung Galaxy S20+ phone rather than my old tablet as my old tablet contained mostly outdated and limited apps. Using the Samsung Smart Switch app on both my S20+ phone and the Tab S9 FE+, the transfer of all my apps, files and photos was simple and straightforward. However, it did take a little while due to the considerable number of photos and videos to transfer but that was only to be expected. On completion all my apps and photos were copied over and ready to use. With 256GB of storage space there is ample capacity for my purposes and I imagine for most other people too, but if not then there is an SD memory card slot for even more storage.
Battery life has been very good and lasts me for days. You need to provide your own charger which is disappointing but seems to be the norm these days. I don't have a high power USB C charger so haven't been able to test the quick charging function. However, I usually just plug it in overnight and it's 100% full by the morning.
My primary use is for watching videos and social media. The picture quality of the 12.4" screen and sound quality are excellent, way better than my old tablet. The touch screen is sensitive and accurate as you would expect. I am looking forward to making use of the S Pen for drawing and note taking. It turns out that the pen with my previous tablet also works with the new Tab S9 FE+ so that's a bonus if the pen is ever lost.
The power button doubles up as the fingerprint sensor making it very convenient to use. Much easier than entering a PIN or drawing a pattern although those options are also available.
I bought a protective case and applied a screen protector to fend off any knocks and scrapes which with the best will in the world are inevitable at some point.
Overall I am delighted with the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ and it has been a very overdue upgrade of my old tablet. Hopefully it will last me for a good few years to come.
