Honestly not sure how I got by without this thing beforehand! It's now my go to for note taking and travel. The S-Pen works great with handwriting recognition - you can write straight into most text boxes and it automatically converts to text - about 90% accuracy in my experience. The notes app is good too. Sound is loud, the device is clear and works well, feels great in hand. The battery, as I expect from Samsung, will last for hours of active use, and even better will have very minimal drain if I pull it out of my backpack after a few days. But my favorite feature by far is how easily it syncs with my S24+. Small thing, but when I type a wifi password say at a friend's house, I have it set to automatically beam from my phone to tablet - even though the tablet is not connected to wifi - so that the tablet can then hop on to the web. Little things like that just make it a joy to work with especially if you're in the Samsung universe already. Finally got an android tablet with as high of quality as an iPad!!

This S9 is the bomb. It's like having two phones. I'm learning something new almost daily. For me, it's just the right size. The keyboard is something new to me, since I don't type well, but I'm seeing it as a mini computer. It take very good pictures and video. They can be edited on my tablet easily. Best tablet I've ever owned. I was an iPad owner previously, but it pairs well with my Galaxy Note 20.

It is having a mini computer with you at all times. It is customizable to the nines, easy to use, the pen works instantly, no additional set up required. It works like a charm. It is a seamless transition to use, and easy to work across devices. I wish I bought this sooner. It is incredibly fast, long battery life. Longer than I anticipated. It is also the perfect size. I bought a case off of amazon with a magnetic keyboard that it connected to very easily and I am able to use the keyboard with no interference. I wish I bought this sooner. I even use it as a notebook with the pen, writing notes. It has made me more productive if anything. I absolutely love it. The colors are vivid, the display is so clean and crisp. I have even dropped it a few times with no dents or cracks or impact to performance. I run Teams, Outlook, Excel, Youtube, AI and google all at once and it does not even bog the memory down slightly. I am impressed through and through.

Picked up a 'very good' open box Tab S9 on sale and got lucky - it was in perfect condition, with the S pen included. Factory reset and everything looked as if it were brand new. No performance issues at all, battery charges very fast. Very happy with it!

This is maybe my sixth tablet and third Samsung. Excellent build and tech. I use Mac devices, Windows, and Android. For tablets I prefer Android to iPad. And these are excellent. Pricey, so I wait for a good price.

If you can get the open box excellent condition at sale price under $500 with sales tax it’s worth it. I end up returning this due to Apple only allows me to access my purchase media on an Android if I pay for subscription fee. This device was meant to be my iPad replacement and alternative to my laptop. Colors on amoled are vivid. 11” screen is comfortable to hold and play mobile games. Not so great for eyes if you hold it close in bed to watch videos. I could access my phone photos, iCloud email, and calendar on this Android tablet via tablet web browser. Easy to set up and use. Samsung does have share location which is similar to Google location share but more reliable. Volume is great, it’s sadly better than my hp laptop and iPad mini.

I wanted a device that could help with email and minor writing but larger than my phone. This does the trick.
Quick, clear images, excellent connectivity and has enough apps to take care of important tasks

As a PhD student, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 has been an absolute game-changer for my academic life. The 11-inch size is perfect—it fits comfortably on small college desks without feeling cramped, and it’s super portable for moving between lectures, the library, and study groups.
The included S-Pen is a dream for note-taking during class and annotating research papers. The responsiveness and accuracy make it feel like I’m writing on paper. The 128GB storage is more than enough to keep all my academic files, journal articles, and presentations in one place. Plus, the vibrant screen and smooth performance make multitasking effortless.
If you’re a student, especially in a demanding program, this tablet is an investment that’s absolutely worth it. It’s saving my academic life one class at a time!

I purchased the Samsung - Galaxy Tab S9 - 11" 128GB - Wi-Fi - with S-Pen - GraphiteI on April 18, and have used it every day and almost every night since. At night I charge it while I listen to soft 'sleep-time' music "all night along" This tablet meets all my expectations and more! NEWS, TV - Weather, shopping and browsing. and at a very fair price! I am VERY PLEASED with my selection and the options Samsung has packed into this lightweight Tablet that even fits in my handbag!

I had an older Galaxy Tab A and was looking to upgrade, but brand new, this Galaxy Tab S9 11" was more than I wanted to spend.
The option of an open-box purchase was attractive. And I read a lot of other reviews on open-box items; most were positive of the items rated 'excellent condition', so I took the plunge, ordered and saved almost $300 over the cost of a new tablet.
The tablet came in the original box with the original cable and the pen. It was brand new to me and there are absolutely no issues with performance and battery life. Fantastic screen and sound as well.
I definitely recommend this tablet.

Amazing Samsung Tab. Just what I needed. Great for taking notes and drawing. Only problem is that the Samsung Tab - which was open box- came with scratches on screen and back and without Spen. But for now I use the Spen from my old S6 Lite tablet

Love this tablet so far! The screen is super clear, and it’s really smooth whether I’m watching YouTube, scrolling, or sketching with the S-Pen. It’s lightweight, so it’s easy to carry around, and the battery lasts all day for me. The S-Pen is a nice bonus for quick notes and doodles, and it feels natural to use.
Overall, if you’re looking for a tablet that’s great for streaming, drawing, and everyday stuff, this one is worth it.
