A much needed upgrade!

I bought a Samsung tablet some years ago, whilst it did it's job it never really satisfied, it always felt cramped and didn't function quite how it should have done.
So, the biggest upgrade, the real estate: you wouldn't think that an extra 2" on the screen size would make that much of a difference; if you look at my second photo, you'll see that when placed side by side the Tab S9 FE+ doesn't look that much larger, but when it's in your hands it's a night and day difference in the feel. As I already mentioned, my old one felt cramped, the new one just feels wide open, it fills the space in front of your face and your hand is free to roam widely. I know you can get 14" tablets, but in light of my experience I would say they would probably end up feeling overwhelming.
If anyone ever had a choice about what size tablet to purchase, I would definitely recommend 12" as the perfect place to settle on.
Now, performance, unless you're running extremely demanding apps you generally won't notice problems, I can say the S9 FE+ definitely felt more responsive over my old one, but that was more a subjective feeling. What I did know was that the S9 FE+ was happily running some games that my old one couldn't, despite it technically being specced up enough, again, see my second photo showing the S9 FE+ actually playing Crying Suns whilst the other only has a message saying it's not capable.
Another performance improvement, connectivity with other devices, in this case connecting to my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 laptop, see my third photo: the old tablet was meant to function as a second screen, but it would only do so after enabling a hidden developer menu function. Every. Time. The S9 FE+, however, actually showed up when my laptop scanned for external devices and connected seamlessly, just a single click with the mouse; it also benefitted from the larger screen size, the higher resolution, and no lag when moving the mouse cursor across on to it. It will actually prove to be usable for this function, whether as an expanded screen or as a duplicate for someone to observe what's being displayed on my laptop.
Lastly, sound output is a definite bump up from my old tablet, though a slight nitpick that my fingers tend to end up sitting over the speaker grilles... However, the quality and volume is immersive, a nice surround effect enveloping your head, you know it's powerful when your fingers start vibrating when you stick them in the wrong place!
Upgrade Recommended!!!
