Following the recent launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Buds FE, the new Galaxy Tab S9 FE completes the brand's Fan Edition lineup
The device offers a compelling gateway into the Samsung ecosystem for tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
At first glance, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE has a big enough display and robust features, making it suitable to be your daily workhorse and primary entertainment device.
Upon unboxing the tablet, we were instantly captivated by its promise of immersive media consumption. While smartphones offer the convenience of portability, there's something undeniably alluring about a larger screen, particularly in the comfort of home where size constraints are no longer a concern.
The 10.9-inch display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE feels like the perfect size for videos or work, while still being small enough to fit into any bag
Despite sporting only a TFT LCD display, there does not seem to be any glaring compromise in image quality during our initial viewing. It is also an adaptive 90Hz display, so every motion looks fluid and natural. Both these features, in theory, would contribute to better battery life.
Coming in at only 6.5 mm thin, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is light to hold while still feeling solid due to its aluminium back and frame
Despite its thinness and overall size, the tablet feels remarkably balanced and effortless to handle. Its slim profile and lightweight build make it easy to grip even with one hand.
Its large 8,000mAh battery point towards long screen-on time and media playback
The Galaxy Tab S9 FE's battery life is a significant highlight. While Samsung did not specify a duration for its battery life, we'll thoroughly examine its performance in our upcoming comprehensive review.
It even comes with the S pen, which was previously relegated to Samsung's flagship Tab lineup
Breaking the tradition of previous Tab FEs, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE comes with the S pen, so those who prefer writing to typing can enjoy the perks that come with it.
Starting at RM2,099, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE packs the same feature as its flagship cousins, but in a smaller and more affordable package
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE would be perfect for students who are looking for a mobile productivity device, or Android enthusiasts looking for a primary entertainment device.
Stay tuned for our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE.
