Just ordered mine on amazon for 209.99 plus tax 8GB RAM 128GB super excited to try it out. Great video, thank you. Upgrading from a Galaxy Tab A hope my daughter likes it.

[@BusymanXD]

I went for the A9+ 128/8 and I'm really impressed by the performance. Works better than the 64/4 S6 Lite 🫨 hopefully the S6 Lite 2024 comes out soon 🙂

[@TimJ201]

They replaced the s6 lite with the samsung galaxy s9 fe

[@BusymanXD]

@@TimJ201 just google Tab s6 lite 2024 and you will see that they’re preparing a refresh with exynos 1280 for this year.

[@typhoon_8086]

​​​@@TimJ201 Actually according to tech websites such as PhoneArena, 9to5Google, GizmoChina, and SamMobile there is actually a Tab S6 Lite 2024 coming soon, and it's understandable after seeing the massive success it has been with being Samsung Cheapest Tablet with S Pen Support. The Tab S6 Lites $250 is more affordable for most consumers than the $400-$450 Tab S9 FE

[@typhoon_8086]

Is the Tab S6 Lite still working well for you? I'm thinking of buying the S6 Lite 2022 since it has a Snapdragon Processor compared to the supposed Exynos 1280 in the Tab S6 Lite 2024

[@Michel-r6m]

​​@@typhoon_8086The S6 lite 2022 is still a nice tablet (pen, size, feel) yet multitasking on the A9+ 8/128Gb version is next level. Also mind that the Snapdragon 695 is faster than the 720 combined with 4Gb extra RAM is a significantly faster tablet in use (much faster than the benchmarks suggest). Own both, benchmarked both.

[@Kzuke]

The price difference and newer model made the difference for me in recently choosing the A9+ over the S6 Lite (also based on your reviews). Best Buy had the 128GB/8GB version on sale for $219 (same price as the lower-end S6 Lite 64GB/4GB model), it was a year newer (2023 vs. 2022, which means more future security updates), and the screen is slightly larger. I have a Note10+ phone and hardly ever use the S-pen, so figured I could skip it on the tablet. It works well for my simple tablet needs - checking email and browsing the web around the house when I'm not near my more powerful main desktop computer. I would have to go up to $299 to get an S6 Lite with the same memory capacities and it would end-of-life with security updates sooner too. Once you put the tablet in a case, it doesn't really matter what the back material feels like. My old iPad Air had a beautiful aluminum case, but it always wore a case and so it felt the same as this new A9+ in its rubber case.

[@Leonardo-bj9sc]

That's a reasonable opinion regarding this decision battle, and I used exactly the same arguments as you and opted for the A9+. S6 Lite is a good hardware, but, pay almost the double to receive a mid aged tablet with little differences, didn't seem fair to me ^^

[@IvanKam11]

Thanks for sharing those great insights; you most definitely made the right decision, given the context. Enjoy your tablet!!👊🏾

[@Leonardo-bj9sc]

UPDATE: Two days with my A9+, installed and ran all the apps and games I need, and... Samsung made some witchcraft with this gadget XD. For it's price and specs, it delivers more than expected. I have had some entry level tablets from Samsung before, and they were laggy, like a native resource, lol. But this one deserves compliment. Unfortunatelly here in Brazil is only produced de 4Gb/64Gb version, even the color is only offered in black... anyway, if this version is good, imagine the 8Gb/128Gb!!!

[@sabrinamerrick1271]

219$ ? Sounds like a winner.

[@yuvraaj.-.4727]

in games theres a touch issue have u gotten that​@@Leonardo-bj9sc

[@charlesbaxter7405]

I bought the A9+ 8GB/128GB because I was in the mood to get another tablet. It is fast for a tablet in this category. it really feels like an entry level midrange tablet. I use the display at 60hz (which is still really smooth) to improve SoT life by about 90 minutes. I use a Lenovo P11 Plus 4GB/64GB as my daily driver and the A9+ is just a little bit slower. Both of these tablets are much faster and smoother than the S6 Lite 2022 Anyone trying to spend less than $300 for a tablet the 8GB version is definitely the way to go.

[@hakan5687]

I got the P11 Plus before this, I found this one has a much inferior display and not as smooth in operation. Thinking about returning it. For just another 100 bucks I can get Ipad 9.

[@charlesbaxter7405]

@@hakan5687 the A9+ is nice I have the display set at 60hz and I went into developers options and set all the animations at .5.. There aren't many displays as nice as the one in the P11 Plus when it comes to IPS displays I use the A9+ as a backup to the P11 Plus. If I were you I'd keep the P11 Plus as your daily driver and use the A9+ as a backup tablet. Stay away from iPads they are junk

[@bullsback23]

@josepha9296 it was some kind of surprise sale to me because I didn't expect it to be that cheap.

The SD720 is a tad slower compared to SD695. The numbering might suggest otherwise. The S6 lite has a higher quality feel and the pen. Yet the A9+ is imho (8/128) the better tablet.

[@Evolved-Tradez]

I have the base model. I got it when I bought my S24 ultra since I had Samsung credit when I preordered. There was no option, but to get the base model buying this with my samsung credits. This was only to serve one purpose for and that was to play videos. I sit in my car a lot and I wanted this to kill time. It doesnt have a lot of internal storage, but it has a SD card slot so I added a 512Gig sd card and moved a lot of movies and TV shows on to it from my PC. Works just fine for that. The only problem I had was playing videos in AVI format the sound and video would get out of sync. I had to re encode all files to be in MP4 or MKV format to solve that issue. Not sure why android has an issue with AVI. I don't use this tablet for anything else so it does what I need and I got it and the SD card for free so the price was right lol.

When playing roblox and some light rythm games, would it perform well on the A9+? Im getting a new tablet in 2 weeks and I need some answers.

[@silvanigra]

A9+ could have been so much better with a bigger battery. Using the same 7000mAh battery as the old A7 tablet is a deal breaker for me. It's clear they are probably getting rid of leftover batteries with this choice. And those batteries were not great quality either. I have two A7s in my house and both batteries are below 75% health in a couple of years of moderate and occasional use, no gaming..

[@Ka1_3r0u9h]

If it runs the new Warzone Mobile, and can run emus better than my damn fire tab!! That’s all I ask!! I’m feeling confident about the 8gb ram model!

[@silvanigra]

Well, I finally bought it and tested it and I must say I'm kind of.. underwhelmed, even disappointed. First, the display is really poor, when scrolling laterally between home screens, there is a lot of "motion blur", text smearing, etc., which is very annoying (especially considering that on my old A7 10.4" it is almost nonexistent). Performance is really not what I expected from 8GB of RAM (I got the 5G version with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage), I was expecting it to be at least as fluid as a midrange phone like the A34 I'm using, but there is no comparison... I'm pretty sure I'll return it, albeit reluctantly, because I really needed a good replacement for my A7..

To release a brand name samsung new phone without even minimal standard and the 4G they're using is with this fake expanded ram thing it actually shows a two gig setting in this unit.
