What are your thoughts on the Tab A9+? Thanks for watching!

[@leovazquez6188]

Hey shane when are you going to do the first impressions on the samsung galaxy buds fe

[@Gungrave123]

TFT display is a deal breaker, at any price point, for any product.

[@jainabchoudhary7804]

Can u play genshin impact in this??

[@Squidy_sports]

thank you its on sale and my old Samsung a6 motherboard got fried after i changed the screen

[@guestgames1218]

does it can connect any s pen i have s6 lite and will s6 lite pen work on that a9+ ?

[@davidcollins465]

"the main limitation to this tablet" Is having 12 apps open at the same time. of course it would stutter at that point.

[@greatrequester8434]

You got 12 like for that.. m😮

[@YuzuLovesDoodoo]

😂

[@ShaneSymonds]

Yeah truthfully I just needed the 8gb ram version. I upgraded after this video and dont have any issues now

[@LP00151987]

dude get some desktop 😂

[@Mad_Merc]

12??? Whyyy???? 🫣 use desktop or laptop

[@FunnyAardvark-wy1hm]

Hello Shane, just wanted to comment that your reviews have always been clear and informative. My go to reviewer!!! ❤

[@captainlcm]

a very detailed review. Thank you!

[@therealagent4746]

Thank you for this review :) very helpful 😃 hopefully I can pick up mine tomorrow! 🛍️

[@jaykeeggleston4093]

Had mine a little over a month now, and i can't imagine my life without it now. It blew my expectations away, and im not a tablet kind of guy. The classic dex mode with my dock, mouse and keyboard is so nice. hard to tell its a tablet

[@borrisgrishenko]

I've been a fan of Samsung for years but I have never used the DeX feature till recently ! I was impressed

[@ankitasenguptaad1156]

How much time is it taking to charge?

​@@ankitasenguptaad1156I have a charging test in this video. Takes about 2.5 hours to charge.

Did u get the 4gb model?

Thanks for this video. I'm thinking about getting one I still have a Samsung Tab A this one would be a great upgrade.

I ordered this today for my hubby bday. Got the 128GB. After watching this, I know he's going to love it. Thanks for a great review.❤

[@OkashaabdullahAlfauzan]

Believe am already in love with this tablet ❤❤❤

[@Unimpressed360]

Got this a couple weeks ago for $190.00 before tax. Love everything about it. Definitely a step up from my S6 lite......which I also loved. They're both perfect for my needs. I'm VERY happy. Excellent video.

[@danellecobourne-ew6mr]

How good it is with game

[@HypeXesk]

​@@danellecobourne-ew6mrfor gaming, it's best to buy a older higher end device from ebay

[@chaseman94]

I'm considering get this since my S6 lite which had since Dec. 2020 has stopped working possibly due to the battery going bad.

[@paranaenselol]

​@@chaseman94 you do know it doesnt have s pen support? You should just buy the s6 lite 2022

[@caven930]

I'm so stoked to get one of these for my wife she's gonna love it

[@arbianggizelle5784]

got this a month ago, and i love it, may not be ideal for heavy usage but it gets the usualt ask done without problems

[@justindarst374]

Just picked up 3 for 160 at Costco, with the $50 case. There WiFi only, but for 160, plus the included case. Not a bad deal at all.

[@Stubanger]

Another great review Shane! Looking forward to the A05 review

[@friedsin4661]

Awesome review 😊

[@tedii_ls]

Thanks. Been thinking about buying one for school

[@joseorlando7647]

This is THE BEST review I watched, every single aspect was well showed! thank you, great job!

[@jaymartel3010]

Great review.

[@juri991]

i just bought one and will arrive today, soo excited it has been a while since i last have a tablet since i moved to laptop and phone only.

[@ShaneSymonds]

Enjoy!

[@mariannesuesli5680]

I've got the base model, use it for newspaper reading, email, browsing, some simple games, and I am quite happy with it, the only downside, as ment. in the video, is the slow charging speed.

[@unclegrizzlyscountrycorner2400]

I have had the A9+ for about 2 months now and I absolutely love it. My only issue (and this is jumping up from a TCL 8inch tablet) is typing with the on-screen keyboard because of the size of it. I got a bluetooth keyboard that connects seamlessly with the tab and using it along with my trackball mouse, I almost dont need my laptop. Now if something happened to this tablet would i go out tomorrow and buy another one? You betcha I would!!!!!!

[@Cahoooters]

YOU PLAY RUNESCAPE!!! MY HERO

[@lgmnowkondo938]

i just looked at this in the store...the tft screen looks good! I was always under the impression that TFT was really bad...maybe there's a new twist to tft.

[@Wail.Dz.1]

❤️Shane please do more entry level Galaxy smartphones like you used to do in the past, i watch your chanel since the bigining and i don't recognize it anymore, last year you missed a lot of entry level galaxy's and this year too (A05, A05S, A15 4G, A25 etc..) which represents a lot of views...

[@ShaneSymonds]

Editing the A15 5G Review now, A35 5G will follow that, slowly but surely getting to them!

[@user-jg2mc4lx5e]

I dont know why but besides the insanely good review video i insta subscribed when i saw osrs downloaded lol

[@MrBobwillis]

I would be very interested to know if you have used the 9plus for video editing. Particuarly with the Insta360 X4 app?

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

Nice review, these are selling really well, I wish Apple had a midrange iPad around the same price.

[@fajri8843]

I bought one ,in my country it's quite expensive $369 on sale price. I've waited for the sale price to be able to buy it.I am satisfied with the product.

[@FishFreddy]

Great review! It was just what I needed to make my choice. I am going to get the 128GB - 8GB one.

[@ShaneSymonds]

Good choice. The extra specs go a long way on this

[@aliciagilman428]

I have the 8GB/128GB version and its great for my needs!

[@ShaneSymonds]

After making this video, I went ahead and upgraded to a 8/128 model myself since it was $210 on amazon. For $20 more than what I originally paid for the 4/64, definitely well worth the money. I am finding that even 6GB RAM is sufficient on these Samsung devices, so 8GB is more than enough

[@fernandesideildon5311]

Comprei meu Tablet Samsung a9 +, estou muito satisfeito com o produto que é de ótima qualidade.

[@RoseH-jh5kb]

I just ordered this because of your review, I’ve been looking for a cheaper tablet and this seems to check all the boxes for a reasonable price. I’ll have it Friday. Thanks for the review

[@badaddict21]

Planning to get this one. Is this recommended for back up work from home device?

[@masoudayati2012]

Common, charge that thing, half of the video I was worried that when it will die in the middle of the video 😂😂😂

[@Ash_1277]

Hey it's a new video by Shane 😄

[@bigtih]

nice to know you play osrs bro. :)

[@MatthewLetendre]

I just bought one for $169! I don't care about the ram since im using it more to watch content.

[@ShaneSymonds]

Can't beat the price when you factor everything that's offered. I usually don't outright recommend products to everyone but this is one that anyone can benefit from having

watching from samsung tab A9 plus 😊

[@engihabit]

Do you recommend to purchase it

[@davidjefferson7911]

I got mine today and I love it coming from a galaxy tabE very solid build double speakers on left and right mine came with a cool protective case on the inside which I don't see in the reviews

Its half off right now, might go pick it up today

[@antfdo9194]

Hi bro Shane thanks for video. Have a question that can support whattsapp video calls? Price here in bermuda 🇧🇲 $399

[@zaighumbukhari-sm3pq]

I need a pen for it to take notes. The one I have is for the drawing and stuff. Do you have any recommendations as it's no use for me without the pen

[@toadoftoadhall2837]

I can see a definite colour balance difference between the two. A9+ is slightly more blue in your review. Which one is the more neutral colour please.

[@UIV7096]

Ty I loved your review Clear and concise. Just a quick question I didn’t really wanna go with Apple iPad for now so I’m looking for something that’s budget friendly wanted to know if I could actually access and download Kindle to read my books on this tablet and can I download google play to get apps that I would like on my tablet since Kindle fired doesn’t support Google play? Thank you so much. Have a great day.🎉

[@KH-rm9cc]

I bought the 128GB version.

[@arthurcurryarthurcurry9593]

great vidéo

[@dalbriggss]

At 5:28 Can you swipe away (i.e. to close) past open apps that you had opened? Apple has this feature on their tablet, so I was wondering if this can be done on this tablet.

[@dexstarr6907]

Still usin an Galaxy tab A7 for my day to day multimedia needs.

[@LordVai7]

Whens the OSRS content coming out

[@milodemoray]

Thanks for this video, Shane. I think I'll stick to my Lenovo Tab M10Plus 3rd Gen for now. Both your A9+ and Lenovo have the same specs, and I have not yet seen it stutter while doing things. My battery life is consistently above 10 hours screen time, and it does not have the same charging problem that your A9+ has.

[@johnmalcom6826]

Question: what’s the cheapest n big enough space for regular apps like instagram, Snapchat, Dropbox, etc etc

[@937553]

Unbeatable for the price...great tablet

[@username._copied123]

I still love this tablet. I have had only Amazon tablets so this tablet was my next option with price. So I’m very happy it’s not glitchy like the Amazon tablets

[@chaseman94]

I'm thinking about getting this one to replace my S6 lite which I had since December 2020 recently stopped working instead of reparing it.

[@mohammadsuhail37]

Sir, Please make a video on Tab S9 FE+

[@kennethdennisrojo1891]

Been using it for a month now. It's great for its price.

[@yamahatrbx5053]

Does it support 3rd party stylus pen.. if yes how stable it is

[@hans6304]

​@@yamahatrbx5053 any update on stylus compatibility please?

[@ToniG35]

I love my Samsung tab a9 plus! 😊 however I also have a doogee t10 pro their both pretty good but the doogee is more fluid some how but what do you think is better?

[@cheehee808_]

They tacked this on with my s24 ultra when I upgraded the other day lol. Its just a decent tablet, perfectly serviceable for KZbin and web browsing which is fine and what ill be using it for anyways. Not gonna blow your socks off but it'll prolly replace my iPad mini since it's old and has a cracked screen. Really isn't intended to be a spec monster, for what it is its fine

[@wongkelena]

Hi, Shane. What are the pre installed App on the tablet... hw do I installed the Ms Office such as words, Excess n Google Email account.. tks

[@lauragretza51]

I just got that tablet I love it

[@hoanganhtran9599]

The only problem I have with it is when the screen protector is applied, laying the tablet down will significantly reduce the touch sensitivity. Even with increase touch sensitivity turned on in the settings, it still has the problem. After google around, it was the capacitive screen itself that was not high quality

[@pkerry12]

I have the one with the 8gb of ram and 128gb storage it works so well but one ui 6.0 causes issues with touch responsive. Put it on a stand with a screen protector. And it's not good.but plug in 3.5mm.earphones a d touch response issue is fixed so it a bug they need to.fix.

[@PokerPlayerJames]

Just got this tablet for basically free with my new phone contract. So honestly this looks pretty good to me. 😂

[@mullen1289]

What is a good stylus used with this tablet?

[@SurferJoe46]

I just ordered this for my wife -- she is NOT a power user - but the split screen will be a good thing for her. Is there a way to limit the charge to 85%? I have that on another tablet that I use a lot as a BT repository for my MP3s that now number over 18,000. "DEX" is gonna be a challenge for her I think --- until she figures it out. I wonder if it will work with a stylus though? I have a few of them from other Samsungs ... mebbee.?!?! I'm looking forward to the UPS truck .....

[@abiramir8535]

what stylus pen i can use with this?

[@justwatchingbirdies]

I’m really looking forward to buying this one since I can’t afford the s9+ , is the camera good enough for video calls such as classes? Working on it excel use, maybe some Canva designs ? Also I don’t know what dex is.. 😢 I’m so lost with Samsung 😢

[@MarGC72]

Dex is PC Mode on this tablet, but really it is just a way in which the view of a laptop is emulated so that the applications take the form of windows. For video calls it performs perfectly, in the case of Excel and Canva, this tablet is very good at all that and more if you purchase the 8/128 version. The only drawback with this equipment is that it is not compatible with any SPEN and it cannot output video via HDMI cable. Outside of those two details, it is a great device for multimedia, games and everything related to office automation, just don't forget to buy a keyboard and a mouse to get the most out of Dex mode.

[@coreybabcock2023]

Does the metro by T-Mobile have the esim ?

What a nice tab

[@theunnoticedbeing89]

how many major updates will it get?

[@hashachar70]

Hi, Shane. I purchase one, and it is supposed to have a SIM Card spot next to the memory card slot--but my SIM Card slot is covered over with plastic. I called the toll-free Samsung help line and the woman told me specifically to go to one of 2 Best Buy stores near me (and she even gave me the addresses for them), stating that they would be able to help me. I asked her specific questions, such as, "How will they help me? Will they know how to fix this?" to which she just kept repeating the exact same line, "They will know what to do." They had no idea what to do and didn't know why Samsung sent me to them. It would be great if someone could help us...we paid for these tablets, and they weren't cheap, either. Can you help with this?

[@christiantorres6250]

I noticed that in the battery settings you can turn on and off fast charging

[@kye4230]

Yes I see that oldschool RuneScape app there hahaha 3:42 I’m literally looking to pick up a tablet to scape on so that Is a good sign

Osrs works great on this, 90hz refresh is noticeable

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

About the small tiny lag, turn off the animation from settings.. lags will disappear with animations off Already bought A9+ the 8GB version, for like $205 back in January, & it' super value I liked it very much, so I bought another one in Feb Lol, gave it my wife, & she liked it It's best Tab from Samsung in last 5 years, at least for low-end models.. also the SD695 is super efficient & strong for avg users (only 1 charge every week since I use it lightly Lol), but for medium users.. probably will last 3 days easily I would bought S9 FE, but I don't use Tabs for daily basis, so I decided to go with A9+ since it's more than enough for my needs

it's the ultimate beater tablet

Can a senior citizen use that tablet or would it be too hard to use for basic internet use?

[@fevad1246]

If you are using it for work then stick woth laptops . If you only want to use for basic internet task then tablet and yes you can use your phone's data by opening Hotspot on your phone and then on tab you can just go to wifi connections and connect your phone wifi
