Love the size of this tablet and it functions well, got it for drawing purposes because my Galaxy tab s6 lite(10.4) wasn't a great fit it was just a bit too small.

I absolutely love this thing. It's incredibly massive! The screen is bright and beautiful, and the software experience is buttery smooth. This is my first time buying the Ultra model and I do not regret it one bit. The only thing to keep in mind is that the sheer size of this tablet it makes it uncomfortable to use in hand in any way. You will for sure need a case that will stand the tablet up to use it for media consumption.

I Love this. I am an artist. The screen is amazing to usecand watch videos. Its powerful enough to handle any apps. I draw and make music with it, just about every single day.
Make sure you get a case.spigen is a good solid brand. also an extra s-pen would be nice, if you tend to lose it regularly like me and want to save time. lol
attached are some screenshots of the art,music, and image editing apps. krita, fl studio mobile, and lightroom.
honestly, its worth it and will last you several years.

I use this tablet for my financial apps, and videos/movies and gaming. Sound is good. Sounds like a small tv. It is pretty light for the size but its my first tablet so idk the weight compared to other tablets. Unfortunately it isn't nearly as bright as my S22 Ultra. Gaming however has been awesome. I mainly use remote play on my PS5 and playing Persona, Tekken, CoD has been great. It frustrated me using my S22 Ultra because of the screen size so that was one of my main reasons getting this tablet. Reading comics and manga is also so much better and bigger.my only wish was that streaming services offered 1440p streaming for devices between 1080p and 4K display. Other than that i love my tablet
This review is from Samsung - Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra - 14.6" 256GB - Wi-Fi - with S-Pen - Beige

I had been watching this item for some months. I was able to get it as open box and its the thing that has happened. This tablet came clean and ready to go as if it was brand new out of the box Best Buy customer service was amazing they helped me set it up and make sure everything was working before I left the store.

A Do-It-All, King of Android Tablets

If you want a lightweight and highly portable device with a sumptuous screen that can function as multiple things (a media tablet, a laptop, a phone, an art panel, a note-taking writing tablet), then the Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra tablet is a fantastic choice. It costs a lot of coin, but the S9 Ultra will probably convince you in short order that it’s worth it once it finishes showcasing its capabilities. It’s a jack-of-all-trades type of device that is powerful, extravagant, and very cool.

=== Design and Build Quality ===
The Galaxy S9 Ultra had me going “Wow” several times as I used it, the first one coming as a knee jerk reaction to its huge size. The S9 Ultra looked and felt really big and at first, I didn’t think it would be comfortable using it as a tablet. Fortunately, I was proven wrong thanks to its well-balanced and well-weighted design and relatively low weight (~1 lb). Even my 8-yo daughter was able to use it without any issues. Samsung performed a minor miracle making a tablet this powerful and feature-packed, while packing in a big battery inside such a svelte device with minimal bezels and solid and rigid in-hand feel.
The second big wow came from looking upon the big and gorgeous 14.6” OLED display. Samsung is really the king when it comes to beautiful and vibrant screens, and the S9 Ultra’s display truly outshines pretty much all the competition. The adaptive brightness feature works seamlessly and well, as does the adaptive motion mode, which automatically adjusts the refresh rate up to 120Hz for buttery smooth transitions and animation effects.
The third wow came from using the S-Pen and all the cool things that’s possible with it. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but the S-Pen can do more than just write and draw. Via Air Command, one can quickly access up to eight of your favorite apps from any screen, and with Air Actions, the S-Pen can be used as a camera shutter button, media playback controller, and a wand to perform air gestures. My 8-yo daughter really enjoyed using the S-Pen for coloring and drawing her cartoon doodles.
Another notable highlight is the quad stereo speakers that sounded better than any laptop speakers, and the best I’ve experienced from a tablet. With great audio and a beautiful display, the S9 Ultra is the ultimate device to binge on Netflix and Youtube videos.
With that said, there were some things I felt Samsung could’ve done better for a product in this price range. For one, Samsung should’ve provided a wall charger instead of providing just a cable. And second, some form of protective cover or case for the glass-heavy tablet would’ve been nice. They are minor knit picks, to be sure, but those things would’ve been a lovely touch.
=== Performance ===
Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SOC, 12GB of RAM, and solid state storage, the S9 Ultra runs very fast and snappy with smooth transitions and animations. I’ve been a long-time iPad user, and the S9 Ultra is just as smooth, snappy, and performant.
Samsung’s OneUI Android skin, which is practically identical to OneUI from Samsung phones, is well-optimized and snappy on the S9 Ultra tab – no jankiness, micro-stutters, and lag.
Samsung is already well-known for their multi-window and multi-tasking capabilities from their phones and previous tablets, and the S9 Ultra continues that tradition and does not disappoint. On a big display like this, split-screen multi-tasking totally makes sense, and it saves time and increases efficiency.
The facial recognition unlock works really fast, and the fingerprint sensor, when it’s not acting wonky, also works well.
The front and rear cameras are also very satisfactory and take good pictures and videos.
Whatever it is you’re doing on the S9 Ultra – reading, watching movies, listening to music, editing photos or videos, playing games – it can handle everything you throw at it with ease and aplomb.
=== Is it worth the coin? ===
Yes, if you want the BIGGEST and the BEST Android tablet experience. Samsung has invested a lot of time and money into their hardware and software endeavors throughout the years, and the S9 Ultra tab is the culmination that showcases Samsung’s prowess in several departments – design, display, audio, Android OS, and digital pen. I rate it a solid 4.5 Stars.

I am primarily using the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra for productivity and am making great use of the many features built in to Samsung Notes. The split screen allows me to read an e-book while taking notes and also add a third screen, such as a web browser to locate images that I can drag and drop into my notes. And I am only getting a small taste of the many features this tablet has to offer. Great tablet!

A board designed for productivity due to its size. The only “bad” thing is that I can’t open two word documents at the same time, if anyone knows how to do it, tell me!
