Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Review: 9 Months Later

[@eisernerrundfunk1]

Got mine sice 3 months (4GB Ram / 64 GB storage + 258 SD) im absolutely satisfied. It does everything I want my tablet to do, and all for a very good price of €195,00 . Display is ok and does its job well. i dont hang around in the blazing sun to watch movies, so i cant complayne at all. 4GB Ram is enough for me too. Running YT while surfing on Telegram on split-screen is working perfect, and I don't care if an app takes 4 inst. of 2 seconds to open. Close unused background apps, is no work to do. Bat does well too. Camera is not that great, but i dont care at all about that feature, at least on a tablet. . Kind regards from Germany

[@themichaelbarrow]

the big question on the Internet is about a stylus that works great for the A9+. Not an active stylus but a general stylus that has decent writing compatibility.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yeah, I know capacitive styluses work. But most of them are no name brands

Got the cheapest stylus i could find on amazon. Worked great until I put a glass screen protector. Still work good, just now sometimes a light tap or swipe wont register

Got the 128GB model on sale for $134 to use mainly as an e-reader. It only cost a little bit more than the Prime Day Kindle sales but is way more capable and lets me view my full library of books and comics across multiple services. I hope that will help the battery life since I won't be gaming and only sometimes watching videos. Thanks for the review!

Hello. Is this good for school work?

[@magickelfgirl]

Would this tablet be good for regular work like microsoft office, and some video usage? I don't game unless you count simple puzzle games gaming, so don't need that, but I do need it to open video files, not too big, around 600mb. Also, good, thorough video with simple explanation for those who have absolutely no idea about electronics.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yes, as long as you are subscribed to microsoft office 365, which you need to download the android apps. Fine for video using or basic gaming. It could open easy video files too. I don't think you'll have problems with those things. The S9 FE is the model up from this if you get a little more money, but the A9+ is great.

[@-Zarion]

If you have a mobile phone contract, you should check out if they have a store, you can get tablets, watches, mobile phones and more far cheaper there. They are not sold as new, because they are not allowed, those devices are returned within 2 weeks after purchasing, so your provider has to take them back and resells them by quite a bit cheaper, got the tab a9+ for my mother, 4GB model 87€. Ofc, might not work if your country is not that good with return and resell policy.

[@AndroidDigest]

In our country, you do get the tablet cheaper at a cell phone carrier, but they require you to pay for service, often for 2 years. So they may charge you $20 a month for the tablet and refund $15 a month on a monthly basis, but only if you pay for Internet service on that tablet for 2 years. The total costs end up costing more then the tablet. Still a good deal if someone really needs service on it. But a bad deal if someone doesn't care about Mobile service on a tablet

On what basis should I choose s9fe instead of a9+ ? Is that all about money ??? Thanks for answering .

[@AndroidDigest]

Well the Fe has a better screen, it has a better processor in it, and it comes with an s pen. You would get the Galaxy a9 plus to save money. But if they are within 50 or 100 bucks I think it's a pretty easy decision, for most people, to just get the fe. Normally the fe goes on sale though between $350 and $400. The A9+ goes on sale around $150 to $200. So you're talking like a $200 difference in the US. The FE is still a really big boost up and worth it for some people for sure. It just depends on if they can afford the extra power

[@quartzlady]

Great video. My big question is- how good is the sound? Specifically for video chatting. We play games with our son via video chat (Skype) and need the microphones to pick up from a distance (across the dining room table end to end-lol) and to have a decent volume.

[@AndroidDigest]

That's really hard to say. And very very subjective. I wouldn't expect a premium microphone in a budget tablet. If it picks up across the room also depends on how far and if there's other noise. I thin this tablet would do about as good as most other tabs at this price. But it's hard to answer to be honest

[@hellemarie-blueroses4691]

How did you get the icons in that pretty pink color?

[@NormanDoll-rr6lh]

I'm using an old tab s2 that does have an AMOLED display. Would this be a worthwhile upgrade?

[@AndroidDigest]

Personally I think anything would be worth the upgrade for you. Your battery has got to be getting bad. But here's the rough situation you're in. When the Tab S7 came along, they stopped putting the AMOLED in that base tablet because they replaced it with a higher refresh rate. Then the Tab S9 eventually brought back both, just at a higher price tag. So you're going to have tradeoffs. Now the Tab S9, even on sale, will be a higher price then you're S2 was back in the day. So you have a decision to make. Personally I wouldn't go as low as the A9+. I'd recommend at least the S9 FE for you. It comes with an s pen and has a better screen vs the A9+. And you won't lose too much going from an older flagship to this mid range. Otherwise, the S9 will give you amoled and a higher refresh rate. But the S9 FE would be my recommendation for an upgrade to save money

[@psychekugisaki]

Can you recommend a type c to hdmi adapter that is compatible with this?

No, it won't connect to a monitor from usb c to hdmi. The usb-c port won't work like that.

[@enigmab8978]

Which version are you using and how would you compare the performance of this compared to the iPad 10.2 2021 with regards to using memory sucking apps?

[@AndroidDigest]

Lately I've been using the 8GB of RAM version. I'll say this: Apple had a significant performance gain in their lower end devices for years. So the A13 bionic even today crushes even the Galaxy Tab A9+ as far as speed. Of course they often limited themselves with less ram, and Samsung has 8GB of RAM in the higher end A9+. It doesn't mean you need to go with an iPad though. But purely from a performance perspective, it will be better on the iPad. The A9+ does very good though and it's MUCH better than previous years of Android tablets in the budget segment.

Hello may i please know what keyboard do this tablet use?

[@AndroidDigest]

There's a Samsung slim keyboard cover, I reviewed it recently on my channel, a couple of months ago

[@MrTunney3]

I very happy with it 👍

[@vinniecastino3102]

Is there a way to improve resolution? Are those elder scrolls blades you're playing?

[@AndroidDigest]

Yes Elder Scrolls Blades. Not sure what you're talking about as far as improving resolution. On KZbin you can change the resolution of videos by clicking the settings button. But the tablet resolution is set by the tablet so not much you can change that

[@vinniecastino3102]

@AndroidDigest thank you. Yeah I wanted to improve resolution on the screen. I have a setting on my s20+ phone to do that and didn't know if I could on this

[@Tealtealr]

I’m thinking of getting it as WiFi hotspot for my home . Another one as car infotainment

[@AndroidDigest]

Whatever works for you! Would be cool to see

[@tomspice73]

Would You recommend this tabéet for reading pictured books, encyclopedia, magazines in full size? Thank You. I solely want to use it for this purpose

[@AndroidDigest]

Yes, absolutely

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I have this tablet and love it. First Samsung tablet I've ever owned. Right now it's my computer cause my laptop is being repaired

[@AndroidDigest]

Awesome, enjoy it!

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

@@AndroidDigest so far I’m loving it. I am ordering a case soon when I get paid. I like how it’s also got a signal through my carrier so I can take it with me on long rides

[@MaxCas]

I had that multi touch issue when I am using my sam gal a9+ and I was frustrated, but they manage to fix it when the tab received an update, now I'm happy

[@AndroidDigest]

I'm glad to hear that it was fixed. I never really noticed an issue

[@justwantedtoreply]

Why not run simple benchmarks? So we can compare it to other devices around the same price?

[@AndroidDigest]

I do sometimes. But I also keep things practical. And I compare to a lot of devices. This is basically in the same ballpark as the S6 Lite 2024. Worse than the S9 FE. But much better then older devices like that A8

[@denkarto]

Is this tab enough for video calls like google meet, zoom etc.?

[@AndroidDigest]

I would say so. It's not as good of quality as the camera from the tab s9 or something but it's good

[@PoojaAnand]

Thank you very much such an in depth and balanced review. Additionally, thank you for not having music in the background. I struggle to listen to a person talking with loud music in the background. I personally find it unnecessary and painful to ears. I can get the 8gb/128gb version for €245 euros on sale at the moment. Your review has helped a lot and I am leaning towards buying it. I have two questions. How is the performance if 2-3 apps are opened at the same time? Do you have any UK amazon affiliated link? Best Regards.

[@AndroidDigest]

If you click my link I think it will redirect you to the UK. But it will do great with 2 to 3 apps. And yeah I am starting to add an into with music but I'm wanting to keep my review music free

[@PoojaAnand]

@@AndroidDigest Thank you for your reply. The link takes me to Samsung S9 page not the A9+. I also bought the tablet a few days ago so as not to miss out on the sale.

[@laminage]

What type of charger would you use. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get one and then the Charges that I have at home don't work.

[@AndroidDigest]

It comes with a usb c cable in the box. Almost every company is going away from sending charging bricks in the box. Because most people have older ones. But people coming from really old phones and tablets might not. You've got to get usb c (what this tablet uses). It should have came with a cable but you need a usb c brick to go into the wall. If you search Anker usb c brick you'll find plenty, even Samsung sells them pretty cheap. Ugreen is also a good brand. If you want more chargers, you can always find more online. As long as it has usb c on one side of the cable, it will work to charge this. Some charging bricks use usb a, but you can find cables that have usb a for the charging brick (usb a is the same as a normal usb port in a computer) and usb c for the tablet. Again you just need to find cables that have the right connection for your tablet, and for the charging brick. So your chargers in your house, I bet the charging bricks you have are "usb-a". If you look online for a usb-a to usb-c cable" (you can always add the word "anker" or "ugreen" to the search on Amazon or best buy if you want to buy a good 3rd party brand). That will get you some more chargers. Since you can use your brick at home. Hope this helps

View on the A9 vs the older Galazy Tab S2? (SM-T813) Can' decide between tuis one for 150.00 (new) vs the S9FE+ which is more than twice the price at 400.00

[@mrvampireajjuabhi6490]

Above 1080p video doesn't work. It stopped working and closed app

[@Private36587]

Mine was super pixelated at 1080, junk! Had to return and buy s9 fe

[@AndroidDigest]

I've heard of a few with a bug like that

[@prouddaddyofdos]

How is the cellular part of this tablet?

[@AndroidDigest]

I'm not using the cellular version so wouldn't know for sure. It's so hit and miss with who uses cellular, nowadays you can just turn on a hotspot on your phone and get instant connection on your tablet, so I don't really cover the cellular part, even though there is a niche group that likes it. They sell it "wifi only" pretty much everywhere, and some people go to a carrier or Samsung to get a 5g version, but yeah, unfortunately I'm not the best with that part of it if I'm honest.

[@venkatpriya1565]

Is there anyway to change option for dual bluetooth audio mode

[@AndroidDigest]

Just off hand something I'm not sure about to be honest, trying to respond but don't have time to research into it, hopefully someone else can comment though.

[@ultraegovegeta8873]

Im only gonna use it for Uni, is it enough? And can i use a bluetooth pen on it?

[@AndroidDigest]

You can use a capacitive stylus, that works like your fingers. But no Bluetooth options. I guess it depends on expectations. I'd feel a little more comfortable with an s9 fe. But the a9+ is still good

[@violet_30_11]

Can it run after effects without any issue?

[@AndroidDigest]

That I'm not sure, but hope someone can test it for you

[@MRJLS15]

I appreciate you doing this 😊 and definitely thinking of this 😊 for sure over the Pixel tablet.

[@AndroidDigest]

I will say I give the Pixel tablet an edge over this! It is faster and it has a better screen. But it has no Samsung DeX. AND the price is a HUGE factor. The Pixel tablet could cost $200 to $400 more depending on where you find it. If you find these very close in price I'd go pixel tablet. Or S9 FE if you find that close in price (if you lean Samsung I'd get the FE) but if you are just wanting a cheaper companion, the A9+ is great and it can save you a lot of money if your expectations are in check
