Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 - Unboxing and First Review!

Man the build quality looks just like the flagship S23 series, so nice 😍😍

[@FishBeeProductions]

Nice improvement over A7 lite build quality for sure!

[@DirtCheapFU]

The fact that it looks exactly like a phone but larger is hilarious and aesthetically pleasing.

[@fightnight14]

It's only available right now in some countries because Samsung is still trying to exhaust the inventory of the A7 Lite and A8 tabs from those other countries

[@jaimev6156]

Coming to US. December. I'm selling my A7 for this one. Much faster. antutu benchmark 350000. A7 on 108000 bench mark

Im glad Samsung is adding Extra Dim to all their devices it makes me happy

yes i use that on most of my devices

This is best unboxing video of this device I've ever seen. I've been wondering if it has split screen feature and I'm happy went on to answered it

[@FishBeeProductions]

glad i could help!

[@rlaw8658]

now, the only android mini tablet that has a powerful spec is lenovo y700. Problem is, it doesn't have a global rom. there was this Huawei mediapad m6 8.4 which was released on 2019 with a flagship specs but it's really hard to get one now (in my country, ph. don't know about others). It's still has google support but it only has a 60hz refresh rate. I hope samsung would make a premium midranger mini tablet, preferably with Snapdragon chips (SD 6 would be acceptable, SD 7, would be appreciated, SD 8 would be a stretch for a midranger.)

[@ryanzyla]

Should be way better than the a7 lite. Single core on the GB was 178 for the a7.. Hopefully this comes to North America... My A7 is too jittery. Extra ram will help too. Good video!

[@diazdeleontrujillocesarale1618]

Valdrá la pena el cambio del a7 lite al a9? Sinceramente estoy muy feliz con mi actual a7 lite, excelente diseño, sonido, duración de la batería etc, lo que si es que sus puntos débiles son los 32 gb de almacenamiento que se agota con 5 aplicaciones y el procesador lento que seguido causa bugs algo estresantes

[@________hehe_______754]

​@@diazdeleontrujillocesarale1618yes definitely, I switched from a7 to a9 and the a9 is so much smoother and great for gaming if u want, but it works even better for normal everyday stuff like watching yt and netflix

[@Miguel-Del]

How can I order this? The amazon link didn't work.

[@snfrd]

Right. Because it's not on Amazon.

Does Samsung Tab A9 wifi only (no sim) have gps module? How is the accuracy when using Google maps?

[@wiltonmerritt9038]

Thanks for the heads up on this. I thought they had cancelled it. Nice quick review as always. Where did you import it from?

[@thenordland2227]

Huawei mediapad M5 8.4 or this tablet? Why is better?

[@MIGHTYcbu]

Very disappointed they didn't add fingerprint unlock. I miss that so much on my A8, Face unlock is flakey, and typing in a code or doing a pattern gets annoying really quick. I chose, against my better judgement, to not have it locked because of this.

[@AI-gn5tv]

So good size! Why no tablet with this size and good hardware also...

[@minhngoctran7271]

Ive been waiting for your review of this. I got it myself lte 8gb 128gb version. The helio g99 is kind of underclocked on the gpu side with antutu of 380k, i tested this myself. It is a very good tab imo, never get hot for my use, even wot on max setting. Lasted 14hr web browsing alone.

nice choice!

Great review, I was waiting for it. I want to buy this tablet to consume media, but I'm a bit scared of the 4GB of RAM, my S7 FE is a bit laggy and it has a way better processor and I'm thinking the RAM is the reason, OneUI is very demanding. Do you think this A9 could last for a couple of years if I go for the 8GB variant?

[@xxiamlostxx_dreams_7916]

yes..go for 8gb variant

I was wondering why I couldn’t buy the A9 on the website, only the A9+, which has a bigger screen and body. I really wish Samsung released a 8 inch tablet with spen compatibility. I mean, apple makes the ipad mini and people still buy it. Hell, theyre making an ipad mini 7. The problem it that you can’t really use it as a standalone “phone”. Which is why i didn’t get it

[@trqster]

I've got one and love it! But I still miss my old Tab S 8.4 which was a top of the range 8.7 AMOLED WQHD screen ultra thin and light tablet back in the day

you need the A9+, they don't have the A9 in USA. I'm not 100% sure about any of this though so you would need to check. A9+ will also have an 11" screen, it is much bigger.

So we get a bit of an upbump on the specs, starting on Android 13, and losing the power brick compared to the A7 Lite (is Android 13 the last update on the A7 Lite?), considering those 2 tablets are the runts of the litter in Samsung eyes but even in that state they run cycles around almost all the budget tablets on the 8-9 inch scale if price is not an issue. And the A9 + takes the place of the A7 and A8

[@Uxz-iu8re]

tab a7 lite will end with android 13 since it is a budget tablet. Also, the charging brick is not that big deal since both charges at 15w, but in fact the tab A9 is 2.7x better in terms of performance compared to A7 lite
