I was looking for a budget tablet, i was not expecting much since ill be using it as a media consumption like YouTube, Netflix,disney plus etc. i was suprised how better it was.. as long as you dont mind the 1080p display its good enough. My top features/specs are samsung DeX, 8gb ram, quad speaker, SD card slot and headphone jack.

Bought this tablet not expecting much for how inexpensive it was. But was really surprised at how bright the screen was and how fast the tablet is. I use it daily for streaming, playing simple games and social media. And for those things this is the perfect tablet. The battery life is also pretty good as well. Best tablet out there for under $300

My introduction to tablet use was a Samsung Galaxy Tab many years ago. I loved it so much I bought an upgrade several years later. And I am back again to buy another upgrade. Lightweight, good size, easy to learn and use, this is my go-to device when I want to relax in a recliner but still have access to the internet.

The Galaxy Tab A9 is a solid tablet for everyday use. It’s lightweight, easy to hold, and works smoothly for browsing, streaming, and reading. Battery life is good, and expandable storage is a nice bonus. Great value for the price.

CAME IN REASONABLE TIME AND GOOD SHAPE. MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT AT ALL AND FELT IT WAS ABOUT TIME I TRIED TO OPERATE SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY. IT PROGRAMMED WITH MY PHONE AND INTERNET WITHOUT TAXING MY BRAIN TOO MUCH. NOW TO LEARN HOW TO USE IT FOR ALL IT HAS TO OFFER.

Cheap and has ok specs. Doesn't run slow and boots quickly after restarting. Battery lasts me the whole day if I keep the brightness low. It's graphics are alright. If you want a cheap tablet that isn't a monster able to rival a high end pc this is the one. It isn't compatible with the S-Pen but I don't do anything on it that I would use an S-Pen for anyways

This Tablet fits my expectations and needs perfectly for its price point. Just wanted something a bit bigger than my phone to use around the house. Didn't need it to have the strongest specifications

I bought the Galaxy Tab A9+ to replace an older Tab 9 running Android 9 that kept locking up. This larger screen is very nice to watch YouTube and other videos. I didn't need hi-resolution, so it is perfect for casual use. I am able to use the wall plug from the older model to charge it which saved me money.

My daughter's amazon fire tablet stopped working so I researched the best tablets on the market for a non-IOS family and the Samsung Galaxy A9+ was a top recommendation. It was easy to set up and we love Google's family link for parental controls. Very happy with this device!

Is exactly what we need with great screen display and battery life for movie streaming and games on the go. Perfect for care rides or if you tv occupied and you want to be able to watch something different. This tablet works great!

I got this tablet with the 128GB option to use as a full featured mobile workhorse, and it has been a great improvement over my prior tablets. Easy to set up, easy to populate with Smartswitch. Battery life is less than I had hoped, but recharging is fast.
A few caveats - it's heavier than I was expecting. And if you have a question for Samsung tech support, wait for a voice contact - the text chats are so useless.

Its early in the process, but several points are...
1. The cable provided is only a charging cable (not that it was identified as such) so loading this unit with content was difficult.
2. The SD card slot does not read NTSF format, leaving one to wonder if the slot was malfunctioning. Formatting the SD to ex-Fat worked. Again no documentation for this detail.
3. Set-up through code scanning also did not work forcing this to be manually done. MOVE from the Samsung S2 to this new unit was not possible....
4. Charging block also not included (which is said to be more common, but fast charging has yet to been experienced.
Finally the initial tasks are complete and use of the new unit can be started. A recommendation to buy would only be for an experienced user.

I've had it for about a month now. I'm currently writing this review with the tablet.
Pros
-screen: looks great. Very solid for it's size, good color, accurate touch controls.
- speakers: around the entire body are several speakers. The bass that can be had out of the speakers is impressive.
-headphone jack: I've only used them with my akg 371 headphones. Was able to drive them just fine, I would stick to 60 ohms and lower though
Battery: battery life has been pretty great. I'd say I get comfortably 8-10 hours of video play back. I did notice I was only getting about 5 hours while video editing with luma fusion but on a tablet. Pretty impressive.
The cons (ish)
-software: I've been using this in an attempt to see if I can replace some laptop duties with a tablet. The biggest hurdle is working with Samsung software. When I had the tablet initially the software was smooth but after a small (involuntary) update the speed of opening apps, timeliness scrubbing, and multi tasking slowed significantly. It seems to have gotten better after the most recent patch but I wouldn't call it amazing.
Camera: I don't quite understand the point of including both a front and rear facing camera of such a low quality. I personally feel no rear camera in exchange for an actually usable front camera would be more useful.
Keyboard case: Samsung marketed this with a first party keyboard cover case, making use of the pogo pins opposite the front facing camera. As far as I can tell it's not coming out. Supposedly it's being shipped with a9+'s if you order directly from Samsung but I've gotten conflicting reports.
I would highly recommend you get the 8gb ram model. I can't speak to the 4gb model but so far I'm impressed for a sub 300 tablet.

The screen is large so it took some getting used to, but I love being able to see the details in the mobile games I play and how fast everything loads up. Great price point, great quality.

I am very happy with my tablet. The gentlemen who helped me with my purchase and trasnfer of files from an older tablet were very patient and extremely helpful.

Handles everything i’ve asked it to do. Use it for spreadsheet, wordprocessing with a Bluetooth keyboard, and simple gaming apps. No processing issues with anything. The additional memory slot is easy to use.

Needed a laptop replacement. Saw this and liked the functions and features. Didn't have the sleeve that some come with in the box. A little bit to get use to using a stylus or finger to search or type.
