This is a good, snappy tablet for anyone who needs a bigger screen for media consumption or for portability. I use it when I'm doing things in my workshop. Its less bulky than a laptop, battery life is fantastic, and the pen is actually better than I thought it would be. I also use it to take notes on the go using Notewise. The pen also doesn't need a battery and uses wireless charging.
As far as sizing goes, the standard S9 is plenty big for anyone. I was on the fence about the S9 FE, S9, or S9+, but i'm glad i went with this one. I'd go in person to a store that has a display available and evaluate it before purchasing. Especially if you are between this and the S9 FE. The OLED screen is another consideration to make.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

I decided to get a tablet with only what I needed, and this one is perfect. Perfect size. Love the stylus that comes with it. Fast and easy to get used to as it is similar to my phone. I like the stylus especially since I can use the tablet without buying a separate keyboard.

The Galaxy Tab S9 128GB is an impressive tablet—fast, sleek, and perfect for both work and entertainment. The AMOLED display is stunning, everything runs smoothly, and the S Pen is super responsive and handy for notes or drawing. Battery life is solid too, making it a great all-around device.

Love this crystal clear, FAST tablet. I added a 512 GB microSD card, and there's not much I can't do with it. Spent flights to and from Hong Kong watching Chinese and Korean dramas that I had downloaded to the S9. It's a good thing I did, since airplane wifi is not adequate for streaming. This is the perfect size for me, too-easy to transport but plenty big for viewing. I haven't even begun to use all its amazing features, but I'm more than happy with its performance, so far.

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.

Pretty happy whth my purchase, this tablet has a beautiful screen great performance a sleek design and plenty of other great features as well. Gaming on it is amazing it handles everything i throw at it, gamepass, emulators aka ps2, gameboy advanced, dreamcast, and gamecube. I use an xbox one controller to play the games and theres loke zero lag so yet just another plus.

Love this pad! The battery on this last forever with mid bright setting. The Oled screen and refresh rate is very nice 11’, and performs very well if you want to game on it. I thought the screen was going to be small for gaming but its been a blast

Gift for my girlfriends daughter, I started my search with an s6 lite, (weak) almost decided on Lenovo tab p12 (no led, weaker overall) and ended up on this as an open box, and with the snapdragon 8 gen 2, and pen- it is a beast that can game, handle photo editing, I watched videos about it handling 4k video editing seamlessly.. throw this on a usb-c dock with mouse, keyboard, monitor- multiple monitors if you want, tv/YouTube/discord on one, gaming on the other.. she loves this thing so much. Last year it her they didn't get her anything, and she felt left out. Thank you best buy for helping me make his Xmas amazing, she literally still tells me how much she loves it and how amazing it is!

The Tab S9 works well, and it's a great size with a beautiful screen. Its snappy and the ability to add a micro SD card for more storage is great. The in screen fingerprint reader is hit and miss, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Inwould have expected a better option at such a high price.

I'm extremely impressed with this tablet. It's speedy and has an amazing display. The pen works really well and there's a lot of great functionality you can get with it outside of just writing/drawing. The battery is also quite long lasting. The build feels solid without being bulky or weighty.
The only thing I can knock it for is if you don't have a case, carrying the pen around could be tricky.

Amazing display and quick processor make this a great tablet. I frequently use the included pen. Rather light and good battery life, so easy to travel with.

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

Coming up on 1 year of owning this tablet, and it has been one of my favorite purchases in a long time. The thin profile and relatively low weight for how big the screen is is awesome. I use this tablet for all kinds of things, from reading ebooks to writing emails and papers with a bluetooth keyboard to playing games and watching videos. Performance has always been snappy and reliable, battery is also pretty good.

Love this tablet. Works really well. Fast and clear. Sounds is great. Nothing to complain about. I know the A series are more budget friendly, but the S series is worth every penny.

Originally got these to digitize my notes but this tablet quickly became my go to for several different things. As a photographer, I love use the S9 for editing and viewing my pictures. I also like to use it as a second small portable monitor for my laptop. I was surprised to see how seamless the connectivity with other Samsung devices were. One cool feature is that you can open a note on your phone and the transfer it to your tablet with one click. This tablet has surpassed my expectations and I definitely recommend it for others.
