Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Review: A New Affordable Samsung Tablet

Update: When using a 15W samsung charger this will charge in 2 hours instead of 3. What are your thoughts on the Tab A9? Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video, based on this I bought the A9 128GB / 8GB / 4G tablet to backfill a Huawei M5 Mediapad 8.4 I got in spring 2019, I donated to save someone cost of broadband Internet they were not really needing. Samsung A8 is an ok-tablet when you factor the price, I paid £150 in UK, when you bear in mind my phone was £600 it is very much a complemtary backup phone. It makes me realise how good was Huawei, 5 years ago I got a sturdier metal body, a fingerprint sensor, faster charging, higher resolution noticeably crisper display. The small tablet market is badly exploited, this A9 was all I could find, the other brands all began at around the 11" size. Pity. As a backup phone, 8 inch is perfect.

The specs aren't the best but the experience is good.

If it was more expensive it would be "cope" but it's $125. Good device for the price is not cope.

[@lukecoverdale3861]

tried one and it was painfully slow, just wish samsung would make a higher end small tablet like this. Screen is also pretty dull.

[@ShaneSymonds]

What was it slow with? I actually found navigation to be pretty smooth as I showed in the video, web browsing is fine, and gaming is good for me too. The 60hz feels sluggish but I wouldn't classify it as painful. I would say the Tab A7 Lite is painfully slow like I showed in the gaming test getting 10 fps but I'm curious to hear your findings

[@ShaneSymonds]

Most room for improvement is in the display department though for sure. In its own bubble its fine but compared to nearly any other display on the market its lacking

[@debo823]

maybe you could try removing unnecessary animations that usually made it slow/lagging. you enable this in setting>accessibility>vision enhancement>enable remove animation. the navigation and such would be kind off kindle-ish and sometimes you have to gamble if the loading icon is actually loading 😂. So far that works best for me

So I went to the phone store to pick an A9 last week. New in the box goes for $205 in my country for 128gb cellular version. Long story short, I picked up a second hand broken outer screen z fold 2 for $195 instead. Come on Samsung.

[@Noobie675]

I have a9 plus very happy with it does everything I want with no issues. Play games, Netflix no issues

[@PaulV.]

I have the A9 8/128 LTE Version and I strongly suggest paying an additional $50 to get it. Both 4gb ram and 64gb memory are barely enough for comfortable use today (considering the amount reserved by the system you ll have like 2.5gb ram and 50gb left for your tasks) and it will be probably not enough in a year or two with some heavy games. Also I haven't even known that the Wi-Fi version doesn't have a vibro (given that the device doesn't have any light indicators or amoled screen, vibro is almost the only way to know you have notifications with the screen turned off - Samsung devices can vibrate when you take them to notify you of missed ones). But overall the device is really nice, runs pretty smooth, has a very bright screen for a tft, and in general design gives the feeling of some premium gadget.

[@Charles-rd6ku]

I have got to admit it i have mine about 3 months now and i'm not too happy with it. I'm the 70 years old and had samsung most of my adult life. The main thing for me is this is similar to windows in that every time i knew os comes out it requires more ram. Android sites and stuff recommend 8G for tablets these days. I'm visually impaired and can't use a cellphone this phone works great with the bigger keyboard and stuff. When i am on youtube for watching tv and stuff like that his locks up constantly and i have only got basic stuff on your. I did a factory reinstall without installing any samsung anything i passed on it and just install it mostly google. It's banana 2 weeks now and it's still locking up even though i put absolute and everything else and now android 15 is coming i'm wondering how that will work. These tablets need 8 gig minimum like you're giving to the plus. Also canada is selling this with the 8G so they're cutting us off for that phone. There's a couple reminder things that are the best but kind of disappointed in samsung not giving us tables with at least the minimal ram. I don't play games or nothing so i don't get it other than their saving every time they can

[@gloczyslaw19]

So, did you buy the 4 GB version and it's running slowly, or the 8 GB version and it's still slow? Thanks for your response because I'm considering whether to buy the 4 GB version, price diffenence is quite big.

Got the A9+, and i could not ask for more. Use it to surf , Videos streaming & play Musik over BT-Strereo in my Garden, so i dont have to carry my laptop around. Battary holds up far longer than a usual work/Garden Day. The performance fits the needs of everyday use, at least for 85% of people i think. The display is bright enough in my opinion. The Cam is maybe not the greates on the Planet- who cares? Just invest 20 min. to get the adjustmens right, and for 190€ you cant go wrong.

[@t181]

This is a best review of the A9, thank you!👌I can’t decide between the Galaxy Tab A9 and the iPad Mini 7. I’m in the Apple ecosystem, but the A9 is much more compact, and I think it would be perfectly adequate for average browsing and KZbin. I love that form factor. Since both have 60 Hz displays, I’d rather spend €200 on the Samsung (8 GB, LTE) than €750 on the iPad Mini (5G). Plus, the Samsung has full phone functionality. Even though the iPad Mini has a higher resolution, its display doesn’t seem significantly better to me in person (I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro with 120 Hz displays, and compared to those, both are weaker). I’m leaning heavily toward the Samsung -what do you think after your 1.5 months experience? Thanks! 🙂

A9 should use 5G like A9+ instead of only 4G chipset, this is the only downside but in term of portability and functions, i think it beats A9+ hands down. The convenience of answering call without BT ear piece is already justified enough over the clunky A9+.

[@ShaneSymonds]

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the A9 despite the weaker specs Compared to A9+. Form factor is most important decision between the 2.

[@type45tomcat21]

Great review. I think you can also mention Dolby Atoms, as it is a great feature. I got one 2 months ago as a portable device to use during my hour long commute everyday. I am an iOS user and have an iPad Pro 11”, and iPad Mini seems too expensive and overkill for my demand. At that time the market is flooded with basic WiFi version of A9 in 2nd hand market as they are used as gift for other products. I grip one in half price of my region (~$100), and I love it. The screen is bad in any means, but at lease it can do its job. The sounds is great with Dolby Atoms, no matter with it’s speakers or pairing with a Bluetooth headphone.4GB ram is a concern but not a big problem for me, at least right now. The only thing I regret is not getting a LTE version, but I managed to bough a 4G mobile router and somehow solved the problem.

The A9 looks gorgeous in your review 👌

[@oogoldyooimvu2548]

My only issue with the tab a9 is that my controllers all suffer from incorrect mapping, the right hand 'looky' stick does nothing and the LT / RT act for it instead making it lock into a spin and looking to the sky soon as you have touched them 🤣 I think this might be an Android 14 issue as the controllers are perfect on my old galaxy phone using android 9. other than that its a great little pad for the price tag, fast, plenty of storage and good battery life. camera results could be better but its not a David Bailey machine, just a pad.

The galaxy tab a9 does NOT come with 8ram. I was disappointed because i've read the ad on the samsung page before i bought it and was saying up to 8g. Android itself says you should have 8g minimum to get decent performance out of a tablet. So why does samsung build stop this not capable of running the operating system correctly a very upset with this! I'm 70 years old and only uses for watching my tv because i need the bigger screen to use the keypad. Out of the box. With all the android 14 updates the thing was walking up watching youtube only doing no multitask no nothing. My next step was the grab android 15 which was available instantly. Got all the updates to that. It was even worse. So i did a factory reset twice with no better results. I found something that work for me yesterday it's running better now. After a factory reset i put almost all samsung bloatware into deep sleep except for what i need absolutely to run the tablet. Dumb any these programs you think you'll never use delete them stop and force stop and whatever you got to do. I got the update security that was given out yesterday loaded that up. After cleaning all the crap out it seems like without the samsung stuff it does pick up in performance. I'm so upset samsung is building equipment these days that don't meet minimum spec for what most people say android needs. And we also are going to get through android 16 for updates the newer the androids get the more memory intensive. they are so i'm expecting this to get even worse when 15 and 16 come out. I've had samsung's most of my life but i may be about done with them i think they should give this samsung app bloatware especially when you give you 64g only storage which were phones 5 and 10 years ago that they give you options during set up what to install that way you can keep stuff off of your damn storage. I'll be looking forward to getting a chinese import next time. 12550 give you like 12 g 256g to 512 storage 2tb SD card. Anyway thanks for letting me blow off steam

I’m considering getting one of these to do some work while walking/lightly jogging on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike. It would need to open some large/demanding PDF files (some of them can be as large as 80MB in side, but most of the time they’re within 10MB). Would this tablet cut it? Looking to get an 8GB/128GB model.

Does it use a Stylus pen ?

Does it have like a kid mode? I'm thinking of getting my 5 year old son his first tablet.

I am considering to buy this to read music pieces while playing the piano. Is this good enough to do that? Many thanks.
