A:AnswerThanks for reaching out to us, Segistech. The Galaxy Tab A9+ has GPS compatibility, but only when the device is connected to Wi-Fi or a hotspot. If you have any further questions, please contact us at support. - Kelvin
A:AnswerThe correct answer is no. In the car there is no wifi like there is in most homes. If you have a cell phone with you in the car that has a data plan and hot spot for wifi you could connect the tablet to your cell phone's wifi hot spot to get maps and directions.
A:AnswerThere is a 5G option, but that model often runs a little higher than the Wi-Fi model and you'll need a cellular plan for tablets. If you do go this route, a cellular carrier may give you a "Bring Your Own Device" deal for purchasing the 5G variant through a vendor (like Best Buy, Walmart, or Amazon) and then going to them.
A:AnswerSamsung does not sell unlocked tablets in the USA at this time. Apple sells unlocked tablets and some Chinese companies sell unlocked tablets, but most seem to get poor reviews.
A:AnswerYes you can. You will need a Wi-Fi network to connect to which will give you access to the internet. If you buy a USB-C (male) to USB-A (female) adapter, you can upload stored books or any other data (photos, documents, etc.) into the tablet from a USB thumb drive, as well.

A:AnswerThey're only up to Android 15 currently which is a beta, 14 is the newest version being shipped with certain devices. You have to give manufacturers time to develop for these platforms... only time will tell if Samsung will release a tablet with android 14 or 15. Samsung typically stays ahead of it class in most cases, so be patient.
A:AnswerYour S8 has a much better CPU, if you are having issues with lagging I would suggest clearing cache and or reinstalling game. The A9+ is an entry level tablet that has medium gaming capabilities.
