[@zuideynata1242]

Which tablet is better for school purposes? Like downloading lots of files, editing presentations, note-taking and accessing microsoft apps?

[@mistamaog]

I kind of wish that with the Tab S9 FE, Samsung would've done what they did with the S23 FE. That phone still has flagship specs from having an OLED display to a Snapdragon 8 series and having video out for Dex. I considered the Tab S9 FE Plus, but for 256GB, the pricing got too high. I got lucky enough to find a deal for the Tab S8 Plus.

[@lopez7077]

s8+ & s9 fe+ ,what would you choose between this for notes taking ,e -learning and scrolling social media & multitasking.. Give me some idea plz

[@ozdawizz]

Hi Lad, thanks for great and quick comparison. You have sealed the deal for me, for choosing S9 FE (LTE/5G,8GB, 256GB, IPS). I was looking for midrange tablet, though I had specyfic expectations, like LTE/5G modem, good specs, smooth work, making hand writen notes, but on a budget, money are not that much of an issue, but I have other expenses and if I could justify extra functionality, like the one with active pen or extra smoothness, but I don't play games, tablet is suppose to be used mainy as work/study aid, some latency, when I overload it is acceptable in higher mid range. I was looking for those as well with good price to performance ratio and it looks like S9 FE lands in the area I feel comfortable with and the water resistance sweetened the deal.

[@Mickeii617]

Really appreciate your comment I'm also going to be using it for schooling and not games. Every video always talks about the specs for the games and I'm like I don't care lol I barely even understand that portion of the videos.

[@Laurelin70]

Teacher here- I would use the tablet for lesson planning and attendance taking (WeSchool, Planboard), hand note taking (for meetings and courses), internet surfing with a lot of KZbin videos, organizing and managing time and projects (with different apps, like Clickup or Asana), video chats and meetings with families and colleagues, using a lot of Google apps for Education (Classroom, Jamboard, Drive, Meet, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms). I have a lot of emails to write and send while at school. I would use it also for personal interests: watching movies (with earphones) on Netflix and Prime Video, journaling, watching music videos on KZbin and reading and annotating ebooks. For work, I have to carry it around in my briefcase on buses and metro (I don't use a car), so it should be light and not too large. Would the S9 FE be enough for my needs, or should I buy an S8 instead? The latter is a bit out of my budget...

[@IvanKam11]

The S8 would be the way to go; with all that you’re planning on doing with the tablet, you’d be able to tap into some of the top notch power offered by the S8 without any worries. That said, you will be able to do all of that on a S9FE as well - however, I wouldn’t be surprised if you experience a little bit of lag every now and then(not often), if you have a ton of those apps opened at the same time. The lags wouldn’t be to the extent where it’s super annoying but I can see it happen. So if budget doesn’t allow, definitely grab a S9FE, it’ll do

Thanks for doing this comparison! Makes me relieved that I got an S8 last year. I appreciate the Dex mode once you hook the S8 upmto an external monitor since I do lots of productivity work and study as well.

[@IvanKam11]

Yes indeed!!

[@Shivamcosmo]

can i use screen mirroring as an alternative for presentation etc in s9 fe? and please make a comprehensive video about performance of s9 fe. keep making such HQ contents your videos are great and to the point.

[@lightishredgummi]

for my personal priorities, I just can't see why I'd spend more money for better quality that I just... won't notice. especially if the cheaper one is actually the _newer_ of the two. after watching a lot of comparison videos, the difference between these two tablets mostly boils down to screen, chip, and stylus. I would never use the Bluetooth stylus features, and I won't be able to notice that I got the "worse" display and chip unless I had them side-by-side (and I'll only have a first gen iPad mini to compare it to anyway lol). I managed to get the S9FE with 256GB/8GB new for about $450, _including_ tax and shipping, while all new 128GB/8GB S8's seem to be $500. a better display and chip that I will hardly notice just won't make me spend an extra $50+, _especially_ with half the storage and potentially a slightly older battery (and battery is something I actually _do_ really care about). oh, and for the S9FE not having video OUT, that's fine by me. I would rather use it AS the second monitor, which seems to be possible (even if it's only wireless).

[@amankumar-ft2ck]

In my country Tab s9 FE costs more than Tab s8. And Tab Tab Fe plus variant is also priced higher than the price of Tab s8 plus

I am an engineering student and would like to buy a tablet to carry with me. I intend to use it for various activities such as taking notes during classes, using the microsoft Office , working on small projects at university, and using it as a drawing tablet (graphic tablet) alongside my notebook. It doesn't need to be one of the models mentioned in the video. I already have a notebook that runs all heavy programs, but the reason for buying the tablet is that I want to stop carrying it every day unnecessarily because it is heavy, and I am afraid of damaging it. My budget is $400 USD, which would be ideal, but I am willing to pay up to $600 USD if it is much more advantageous and makes sense. If there is any other cheaper option that is more suitable, I accept suggestions. It doesn't need to be from Samsung, but it must be Android-compatible.

[@gmsolutions589]

The external display option is a game changer for me. Thank you for this review. I was about to get me the S9FE but didn't know it can't extend the screening. I'll try and look for a S8 instead. The S9 is a bit out of my price range

[@firstofthemonth4927]

I recently started watching your videos and find them helpful. For myself I am looking for two tablets. One for personal and the other for work. I want to keep my stuff organized and separate so it's easy to just pick something up and know what I'm going to do with a specific tablet.

[@firstofthemonth4927]

Also, I bought the S8 ultra and that works amazing in the productivity department. I have the A8 as well as a gift and it does the job but I think I would like something faster and possibly 5G to take with me on the go and use in my car. Nothing crazy but fast enough to do basic things like streaming, gaming, and leisure, plus slightly more. Something midrange and affordable but nothing over the top. That would be a perfect tablet for me on the go. S Pen would be a plus but doesn't have to have one. A phone jack for headphone would be nice. I know you can't gave it all but this is what I'm looking for. Also don't know if you recommend just having one tablet all together or two the way I'm doing it. Thank you!

Possibly the best "side by side" comparison I've found. Yes, even the Tech and Android guides. One suggested change.... You spend sooo much time repeatedly saying "Samsung Galaxy Tab" when we know what they are. It's okay to truncate down to say "S8" or S9." We know it's the FE model. Almost had to exit the video because it gets really hard to follow when "Samsung Galaxy Tab... " is repeated several times a minute. But excellent review. Good for the layperson & techie alike.

[@mikkirurk5159]

[@IvanKam11]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback - interestingly enough, it is actually done on purpose, given the way KZbin indexes keywords, and the way it works with SEO; in other words, it helps put the video in front of even more eyes. I certainly will mind it in future videos, as I've seen a couple more comments in other videos highlighting that.

[@Kathy-sn6co]

Happy New Year! I initially had an S2 when it first came out and I loved it until it stopped receiving updates. I replaced it with a A8 almost 2 years ago and I have had consistent issues with it not wanting to charge unless I do a hard restart. I'm over it and want to purchase something else. 99% of my usage is for reading and some web browsing and email reading and occasional youtube videos. No gaming at all. Your opinion then on a better replacement for me. The S8, S9FE or something else. Appreciate your great videos

[@athenaa__1111]

I am a student in STEM and I wanna buy a tablet primarily for studying - pdf/word reading and extensive note taking purposes, internet surfing (youtube videos/reading articles on google etc) and a little social media, sending emails, using apps like Google Classroom, using gmeet/zoom for calls etc, and maybeeeeee (definitely not much) some occasional light gaming and Netflix/Prime. I'm hoping it will (kinda need it to) last me at least about 5-6 years, so software support is definitely important for me. And I wouldn't wanna deal with any kind of lag either, especially considering my intended primary usage purpose. I don't generally keep 10 apps open all at once, I mean I don't do/look at 10 things at once, maybe 2 or maximum 3 at a time. And I do like the 12.4in size. Where I live, the tab s8+ is significantly higher priced. Considering that, would you recommend the tab S9 FE+?

[@IvanKam11]

Go for the Tab S8 if you can.

[@huzzlin4979]

If Tab S8 is only $100 more than S9 Fe, would that be worth getting over the S9 Fe? I would mainly use it for media consumption. Like Netflix, KZbin, Prime Video and browsing the web. If i dont plan on using for high intensity gaming, should i just save the hundred and get the 9 Fe? I also carry it around while walking in the house.

[@YeFansMalaysia]

Base s9 with 8gb ram for me is reasonable option. Base s9fe with 6gb ram and that chipset is basic no no.

[@emilijaplungyte5043]

So, what if I want to buy tablet for next school year? Which should I choose 9fe or 8? I am a medical student, so there will be 4 years of studies left. It would be a gift for myself if I don't loose my finansation this year. But I am worried about the lenght of software updates. I don't think that I would use it for games, however we do massive researches and I dont want it to lag.

My sister and I both purchased the Tab S6 back in 2020, and we're both thinking of upgrading now. I'm already planning on purchasing the Tab S9+ in the morning, but I'm doing comparison research for her. She's uninterested in the S9 line due to the lack of color choices, but the S9 FE line caught her eye. I recently shared this video with her, and I'm waiting for her feedback. I am curious to know if you have a Tab S6 (not the Lite) lying around that you could do a comparison video with the Tab S9(+) FE

[@IvanKam11]

Nice! Unless she plans on undertaking massive high GPU hungry projects, I think she’ll be fine with the FE. Unfortunately I got rid of my S6 a while back, but even without having one in hand for comparison, I’d still go S9FE (4 years support, bigger battery, fast charge, updated front facing camera, etc) over the S6…

[@shrekadina]

I have the original Tab S6 (the one you have), and I just did a trade-in for the Tab S9 FE and ended up only paying $200. I have both side by side, and what I can tell you is that if she doesn't mind a downgrade to the display, video output, and losing air actions with the S Pen, it's worth it. You get a brand new tablet with 4 years of software support, smoother 90hz, arguably better build quality, and overall better feel. It's a nice "upgrade".

[@arjunsuresh29]

Small detail but I think Samsung should've kept the contrasting glass strip across the back of the device that the S8 had. It helps Samsung flagships visually stand out from the rest. Also does it make sense to get the base model with 128/6 S9FE. Would it be good enough for reading and note-taking as those are the main reasons, I am deciding to pick one up.

[@IvanKam11]

I thought the same thing; they should've left that glossy strip on the flagship ones. Yup yup, the Tab S9FE would be perfect for what you mentioned there.

Well, it's funny that you are mentioning the Galaxy Tab S9 FE compared to the Tab S8. I actually purchased the 10.9" 128GB / 6GB RAM variant of the S9 FE from Best Buy for $400, it's due to arrive later on this week. Then last night, I noticed that the 11" S8 128 GB / 8GB RAM currently on sale at Best Buy for $500, which is $200 off the regular price, and only $100 more than the sale price of the entry level S9 FE. On one hand, I prefer the newer S9 FE which will get more updates, and has better max brightness than the S8. But I think the S8 will hold up better being that it's much more powerful and has a few advantages, including being able to connect to a monitor. So I bought the S8, and the S9 FE order will be canceled once the S8 is delivered. I know it's probably much more power than will ever be needed, being that it will only be used for basic games, and not graphic intensive games (yes, older here as well, and prefer the vintage games of the 1980's), and basic use. but I figure it's better to have more power than possibly not enough. As of the evening of 01/02/2024 - the 11" S8 is still $500. Not sure if the price is going to drop any more than that.

What does 5g connection mean vs wifi connection? Thank you soooooo much

[@IvanKam11]

The answer is yes to those questions: you can turn writings into typed text using Samsung Notes. It also supports MS Word and the rest of the MS suite. You can definitely hotspot and use the tablet to connect. 5G in this context is simply your ability connect your tablet to 5G cellular data where you pay monthly for internet/data. Wifi in this context is simply being able to connect your tablet to the internet using a wifi or even hotspot connection

Hi, In my country both are currently at the same exact price on the Samsung shop except that s9fe comes with 256gb storage + free Buds2. Would you still recommend the S8? Or better to go with more recent model(warranty, updates,...) Thanks!

[@IvanKam11]

Depends on your needs; if you are not looking for the most powerful of the 2, then the Tab S9FE bundle is definitely the best deal of the 2.

Hello there. I have an S5 Lite that I should change and I do not want to break the bank for an S9 but I am looking at the S9FE for photo editing on the go...at home i have a desktop that I would not replace but for when I travel I find the table more confortable than a laptop. Nevertheless, It would be interesting to know if S9FE ( the 8 GB RAM version ) is enough for photo editing.

Thoughts on s8 or s9 fe+?

[@morganlefay3417]

Hi, in my country the price difference between S9FE and S8 is around 250 dollars. Which one do you think I should take, or should I take S9FE+ which is around 150 dollars more expensive than S9FE but has bigger size? I plan to use my tablet mostly for note taking, reading ebooks or notes, editing some documents, and watch movies. Thank you in advance

[@morganlefay3417]

I'm hesitant to buy S8 because it has a lot of price gap with S9FE and it was released 2 years ago. Do you think because it was release 2 years ago, it would be harder to use it for longer term (perhaps no more updates, much less specs compare to the ongoing products in the future, etc). But I'm also hesitant to buy S9FE because of the processor that might make it not last long. So I've been thinking to buy S9FE+ because of bigger RAM in hopes that it will last longer than S9FE and because with the extra price I can get better RAM, battery, and bigger size (since I mostly use it to study, read, and taking notes) Please help telling me what you think about it Thank you in advance

[@fevad1246]

I bought galaxy m54 phone with this same processor which is exynos 1380 and I also hope to see it last long. I am confident that exynos 1380 will get through atleast 3 years of software update so I recommend you s9 fe . What you told your use case is very basic and you don't need s8 . Basically s9 fe but you can go for s9 fe plus if you are willing to spend more

Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus 90 Hz good enough for note-taking, or should I go for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 or S8?

It absolutely is! If that's your only worry, you can pull the trigger on the FE - it works very well.

[@Beertagen]

I am looking for a tablet suitable for Microsoft Office tasks, such as Word and PowerPoint. Which one should I purchase? s9 fe, S9, or S9 fe+

[@YeFansMalaysia]

Do you have laptop? If you do, any of above mentioned product is enough. If you dont have laptop, better buy one. Office apps on android or web app is complimentary support for full windows app

[@Beertagen]

@YeFansMalaysia Yes I do, I have a 4 years old laptop that still works fine but the battery cannot last longer than an hour. I have a powerful PC at home too. I think it would be a good idea to buy a tab that capable of giving a presentation or doing some office works. Thanks for your opinion.

[@IvanKam11]

Either of these would do; I’d go S9 if I were in your shoes, just to really tap into the extra power

[@sdufg]

which is better? 9 or 8?

[@isabellamarie240]

Do the pens feel any different? As far as the 9s fe being more responsive and feel more like a pen vs the s8?

[@andreasbernardi3654]

that's what I'm looking for too. maybe it'll be the same if we use the same s-pen version?

[@classicstyloriginal]

Bravo 👍 Hi, I'm personally between the S9 FE and the S9. No gaming just internet browsing and videos, just to have a bigger screen than my cell phone. I would like to know if the S pen is annoying when you lay the tablet flat and does it stay in place? For my purposes, is 8g ram enough?

[@IvanKam11]

The S9FE will be enough for your needs. As far as the S pen goes, you have the option to attach it to the side also, if you prefer, so that it’s not in the way when laid on its back

[@dejans6623]

Hey Ivan I'm trying to get a tab purely for notemaking (highlighting and writing on PDF mostly but also writing new notes on blank pages) and I need a tablet that has really good pen with almost nil latency and very paper like experience. I currently have 3 options in mind - IPAD 10 + Apple Pencil S9 FE (8GB) Pixel tablet (not sure if any good pen is there for it) Which one according to you would be most suitable?

[@dejans6623]

@@mjnthejacksonsfangorll actually my brother has ipad with apple pencil and I experienced the samsung s9 FE in samsung store so between these two I am sure that s9 fe definitely feels better. So I am leaning samsung s9 FE. There is no comparison video for pixel though and I haven't had chance to experience it in a store either. What confuses me between ipad and s9 fe is that I have heard that sansung tabs don't last as long (max 5 years from what I have heard) and ipad that I had earlier lasted 8 years. Is this true? Would love to know if you have used samsung tabs long term and do you think the really good performance of S pen would change/degrade over time?

[@IvanKam11]

Tab S9FE would be good in your situation.

[@ceciliaholanda8784]

I want to buy a tablet so I can study when I'm not at home. I'm a med student about to graduate and I spend a lot of my time at the hospital, so a tablet would be more practicle to carry around, read articles, watch some online classes, take notes etc. At home I plan to keep using mostly my notebook to study. Is the Tab S9 FE a good choice or should I wait, save more money, and go for the Tab S8 or even S9? Is the extra investiment in the S8 or S9 worth it in my case?

[@IvanKam11]

Yes the S8 or S9 is worth it in your case. I know a couple of docs who swear by their S8. Go for either the S8 or S9 - it should carry you throughout residency, all the way to full on practice. It’s practical, and can fit in the pocket of the white blouse, and depending on the scrubs you get, you might be able to fit them there. It’s gonna be easy to carry during your rounds, powerful to use with all the HIPAA and all providers proprietary apps made for future docs like yourself

[@todegaiato]

I am between a tab s9 FE new, and an used s8 (they're the same price here in Brazil). I really wanted s9 plus, but it is 5k bucks here.. Quite much $$$$. I think I gonna get s8 because of its performance

Yes it will.

The chip in the S8 is actually more efficient, despite also being more powerful. But the larger screen and higher refresh rate make it probably about equal

Hello my friend 🙋🏻‍♂️ Bravo, superb review. For just internet browsing and watching various videos, nothing else, I'm interested in the S9FE, but I'd like your opinion on which one you recommend with the S8, do they have the same screen? Price almost identical.

Hello happy thanksgiving, I have a question or problem, I’ve had the s9 fe 10.9 inch for about 2 weeks now, I really like but about 3 days ago it started shutting itself off for around 20 to 30 minutes and can’t get it started until it cuts itself back on again, I’ve never seen this in any tablet I owned, is this normal and is there some type of setting to stop it, or maybe it’s defective, I’ve boxed it up and prepared to take back, if you reply thank you.

Sorry that's happening. I have not experienced that, I would send it back and get a different unit - you may have gotten a dud.

Comparing last year high range tablet to this years mid range, of course the high range tab wins. In my country the s8 still sell almost as much as a s9, only slightly cheaper
