    Amazing tablet. I was debating if the Ultra was better but I was concerned about the size. S9 plus is the perfect size. I gambled for the Satisfactory open box and it was in perfect condition. Its very fast and battery last longer than my phone. Samsung-gang

    So far im extremely satisfied, My laptop seems like its going to be left in a corner as I havent had a use for it since the purchase of my new s9 tab plus. The design, weight and size seem to be just right. The sound quality is more than what i expected from such a slim device. All in all is a great purchase, no complaints. If you are an android user, its a no brainer choice.

    The screen is gorgeous and the perfect size. I dont really think it is worth the price for the wifi version but if i were to get another one i would get the data plan.

    I am really enjoying my S9+ tablet. I love how my information synced over from all of my Samsung devices. I love how my fingerprint password is in a super convenient location. It has an exceptional battery life and durable in which I can carry it in my big bag. I can't wait to help my aunt upgrade her old Samsung tablet.

    Tablet is great. Using it mainly for digital art, and it handles clip studio paint smoothly. The size is just right. Also appreciate the best buy staff for helping me do a price match!

    This device packs a punch and has proven itself as an investment. It's versatile for evening couch lounging, morning with breakfast in bed and travel needs all in one. The display is stellar for the price, and out of the current generation models, this tablet blows all others away. My only gripe is the same I have for all tablets-it's way too easy to lose the stylus. Other than that, I'm ecstatic about my sound purchase.

    An upgrade over the Tab S8+

    I recently got the galaxy tab s8 + and was happy with, but seen Best Buy had an open box for the galaxy tab s9 + 256gb for $850, so I exchanged my tab S8+ for the tab s9 +and paid the difference and there is a noticeable difference between the two. The screen is brighter and S-pen experience is a little smoother, the UI flows smoother, the speakers are fuller sounding, but not by a large amount. The magnet for holding the s-pen to the back is much stronger that in the tab S8 +. Battery life seems to be around the same. Should you get the tab s9+ over the Tab S8+? Yes, but if you already own the tab s8 +, I say no unless you can get the deal I just got. The extra ram over the S8+ is very noticeable also, you get 12gb on the S9+ compared to the 8gb on the S8+. Both are very good tablets and will please anyone looking for a top notch android tablet. And my case I got from Amazon fits the tab s9+.

    I previously enjoyed my Tab S7 for a good number of years before I decided to trade it in for the Plus model. I will be writing this with the mindset that I traded in an old tablet and received a free slim folding keyboard along with my order. First, I am rather disappointed that Samsung had decided to no longer include a wall adapter inside the box for their tablets any more but the blame lays more on Apple for popularizing that trend. I do have a 45w charger that is able to charge up this large tablet with no issue. I personally thought 12.4 inches of screen would be a tad too much on the bigger side of tablets, but when compared to the nearly comical 14.6 inch Ultra, I know I made the right choice. The performance of this thing is rather outmatched for an ARM based device. I ran a few tests and was rather impressed, my bigger test being that I run Vampire Survivors and choose as many abilities that show a lot of particle effects and put a large number of sprites on the screen to see how the tablet handles it. My tab S7 managed to crash a few times if I pushed it too hard, the tab S9+ ate it all up for breakfast without any milk. This tablet can handle most mobile tasks with ease. Now, is it worth $1000 at the base cost? Sort of. You have to keep in mind that you're buying a powerful device that at the base starts with 256gb and can be expanded via microsd, supports usb c, has an amazing screen and some very serviceable speakers. If you have the right workflow that mostly lives online you could use this as your main computer and DEX mode could actually fill in some gaps that regular Android leaves. Do no hesitate if you have an older tablet, you are buying some quality tech right here.

    A Very Premium Android Tablet that surprised me

    I have been using the device heavily for over a month now. I honestly thought there was no way I would pick this thing up more than my iPad Pro but I love this device. I also thought that I wouldn't like the S-Pen compared to the Apple Pencil, but I like it just as equally. The display, speakers, front-facing camera, and overall performance is amazing. I usually get a full day of battery with heavy usage (using it for laptop-like tasks or as a second screen to a pc) and then some. The Android app ecosystem is still not as manicured and curated like the Apple app ecosystem. There are still some instances where major apps like facebook insist in running in portrait mode even though the device is being held in landscape. But for the most part this has not bothered me and found work arounds. The fact that you can utilize Dex mode when attaching a keyboard and mouse with it's multi-tasking awesomeness is a huge plus of what helps me be productive on the device as well. My only gripe about the S9+ and I almost hate to even mention it because it's not that big of a deal for me, is that it's uncomfortable to hold in portrait mode for long periods. It feels heavy and awkward after some time. I bet a different aspect ratio of screen would help that ... but also holding a 12" device in portrait mode may just never feel natural anyway. That aside, if you need a tablet and can afford this one, I don't think you'll be unhappy with it.

    I'm glad I went with this model. The one below was too small and the one above was too big. This table does everything I need from it. It has helped me be more productive at work. It has also saved the battery life on my phone since I have a second option.

    Great entertainment, nonexistent creative workflow

    I loved the screen, sound, and aspect ratio of this tablet. The entertainment aspect was great, yet productivity for creatives is super limited. Not many design and creative work apps are available on Android, which just kind of nerfs this product. Even the stylus is great, but you only have like 3 apps to use it with for professional design and drawing. Not inherently the fault of the manufacturer, but something to consider if you're also looking to work with this.

    My Favorite Tablet Hands Down

    I had an iPad Pro 12.9" and to be honest, this is a better tablet in my opinion. The OLED screen is top tier, the included S Pen is a win, I added 500 gb of micro sd, and aspect ratio is better for my use. Mostly watching YouTube and and use it as a second screen with my MacBook. Also, I charge it every 2 to 3 days.

    Transition from an iPhone went GREAT!

    Great product. Used the internal Samsung capabilities to this tablet to "pull" the configuration from an iPhone. Worked great. Relieved to see how much carried over. In particular, my Verizon Digital Secure carried over so the tablet is protected. Very, very happy with the transition tool from an iPhone to the Samsung tablet. Even brought over the pictures with a good title to the pictures - if you have tried to download iphone pictures you know what I mean. Very happy. Could say more, but probably repeats alot of other comments so I narrowed it down to something additionally significant. Not everything moves over, but significantly does. I was very pleased with how much did.
