Great tablet, it integrates great with my phone and my laptop, file sharing is easy, the pen is accurate, (I've found that it can be iffy with some magnetic cases), Dex is amazing and very powerful (it can genuinely be used as a laptop replacement for classes and most minor workloads)

Excellent build quality, smooth performance, and great battery life. The S Pen works really well for art, writing, and general navigation. I nearly went with the Google Pixel tablet but opted for the S9, and I am happy with the decision.

3rd Samsung tabket I've owned; always been very satisfied. Set up by Geek Squad was excellent also. New so data as to battery life or durability but earlier versions have bee excellent in both categories.

Great screen for movies and has plenty of processing power to drive anything i have needed it for. I also like that you can buy a microsd card for expanded storage, up to 1TB.

Simply the best Android tablet! Superb screen, storage, processor speed. Integrates seamlessly with my other Samsung products (watch, phone.) Pricey but I got a great open box\excellent deal at Best Buy.

Got this as a gift to replace my partner’s aging Galaxy Tab 2, which she was happy with for many years. Unfortunately, the onboarding process for the S9 was so agonizing as to completely tank her perception of the entire product. Suffice to say she was aggravated, and I felt like I gave her a crappy present. I’m returning the tablet tomorrow.
Based on her experience, I have some advice for Samsung:
1. Stick to producing great hardware. Let Google manage the software—that’s the experience users expect, and if they’re invested in the Android platform, that’s the experience they want. Inserting your own software that duplicates Google’s is confusing and frustrating. We don’t want your backup services. Why would anyone use Bixby when they can say “Hey, Google”? It’s confusing and lards up the operating system with services that duplicate Google’s.
2. Don’t make users sign up for a Samsung account. This is related to advice #1, but if I don’t want to use any of Samsung’s services, I should be able to set up the tablet without creating a Samsung account. This appears not to be an option.
3. Give your attorneys a day off. The attorneys should not be dictating the onboarding process. The number of T&Cs a user has to swipe through and agree to is astonishing. What rights are we giving away exactly? The problem is that you’re requiring users to accept terms and conditions for services they don’t intend to use. I think we had to agree to terms for a kitchen appliance we don’t have. We also had to agree to the terms for using Bixby, which we weren’t going to use. Again, give the attorneys a break and keep them out of the design meetings.
Maybe we’ll check out Samsung tablets again in a few years, or maybe we won’t.

Love this tablet. It has so many features and I am still learning them. Great update from my Tab A I had before. It is light and the screen quality is great. Also much faster than my old one.

Fast! Since I have a Samsung phone, it pretty much just mirrored my phone apps, passwords and all. Really easy to setup. I surf the web every evening and charge it once a week.

Mom is 86 and has no issue using this tablet and pen. The screen is very clear and easy for her to see. She plays videos of her great grans and the speaker is clear and the volume is high enough

Great feel, amazing screen.
This tablet does almost everything I do on my laptop. Battery life seemed impressive.
Returned because of personal reasons, device itself was excellent.
