In some instances it exceeds the iPad Pro, both in quality and certain features. Let's dive in and see what I think about the Tab S9 Ultra after using it for weeks just about everyday.

Im So impressed that I've just ordered one. Delivery today. I hope. Great presentation. As usual. Thanks.

Just purchased my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra a couple days ago and got the basic Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for free. Absolutely loving this tablet. Worth every penny. Wish the keyboards were far much cheaper but I've been blown away by how powerful this device is! I love using the multitask feature and I love using the S Pen. Didn't think I would enjoy a stylus as much as I do with this tablet. I also appreciate the fact that you can upgrade the storage up to 1TB using micro SD card via the SIM card like slot on the top of the tablet. Definite recommendation going for this tablet!

[@damionbarrett4403]

Thank you for such insightful review of the tablet! I am very much interested in purchasing one as well! I am leaning toward the S9 ULTRA as well! I don't think any other company such as Apple can compete with Samsung on the tablet market!!! Samsung has created an IPAD PRO killer!!! I am going to save up the extra money needed to purchase the tablet! I have an IPAD PRO 3RD Generation that I am going to use as a trade in! Final cost would be $800.00 after trade in!

[@murdockdeechte]

can I connect a printer to this tablet in dex mode with a usbc cable? because my printer hp printer does not want to connect wirelessly to the modem, can only print via a pc with the usb cable.

[@Zephyion]

Sadly it's a lot more expensive in my country, just for the lowest storage version I have to throw out at least $1600 USD + $220-230 USD for the cover/keyboard which is somehow cheaper. I really want one, but not for that price, especially when I can do most of the same things on my phone and pc.

[@abrahamroberts2040]

I'm loving this tablet.

[@fastattacktough688i6]

Only issue I have is the cheap free book cover case Best Buy included with Tab S9 Ultra. Getting the $299 on soon.

Does the S9 Ultra support HDR on Amazon Prime Video?

[@msmuflehi3351]

I love this tablet but haven’t purchased yet because it doesn’t have 4/5g connectivity! Hoping that changes this summer!

As far as Photoshop/Photo Editing goes, one of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth. I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As you mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software... Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is! The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil... I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT. If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500... Unfortunately, Samsung's trade-in's aren't great this year... Two years ago I got the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD Tab S7 Plus in Mystic Navy it was $356 from Samsung with a Tab S4 Trade-In I got off ebay for $175, they gave me $400 trade-in credit, so my total cost from Samsung for the Tab S7 Plus was $531. I had zero intention of upgrading. Samsung then offered me more than I paid for the S7+ in trade, for a 16GB/512GB Ultra. They also gave me $200 credit towards accesories. It was kinda of a no-brainer, plus the 4-year OS updates and 5-years of security updates for $517.59. I absolutely love the Ultra, and have no intention of upgrading, especially since Samsung will only give me $650 for the trade-in of my Ultra and the total cost will be $750 for the 16GB/1TB version... Maybe next time, Sammy...

Hey man i just bought a s9 ultra and m2 ipad just to see which one i want and tbh i still dont know 😭 theyre both soo sick. Im more into art and trying to pursue that professional. I wanted to ask. i heard ipad had more true calibrated colours and samsang im not sure. I know it has two modes. I wsnted to ask what do u do on your samsung to ensure you have true colours when doing your design stuff?

Great review 👍 The S9 Ultra is definitely a powerhouse BUT i'd have expected a much higher level of its display brightness! Even on my Galaxy Tab S7+ the maximum brightness seems to be higher! Are there any test tools to test the display on tablets? Thx from Munich 😉

Not even close.

Do you know why there's no unlocked SIM card version of the Ultra tablets 😢😢😢? I need SIM card slot and I'm disappointed Samsung didn't make any with SIM card in the Ultra tablets series. I was waiting to trade in my S8 plus for the ultra.

[@belphegor_dev]

There are S9 Ultra models with 5g cellular. I own one.

Saki you said there was no Android tablet that can come close to the Tab S9 Ultra, but have you checked out the Lenovo Tab Extreme? It is just as good and does somethings no other tablet can do right now which is its Display-In feature.

[@gokuthedestroyer8627]

It doesn't even have a calculator man

[@micksmithson6724]

​@@gokuthedestroyer8627 but it has apple silicon, I tested the S9Ultra for a couple of hours yesterday (I have the Fold 4 and have cash to upgrade from my M1 iPad Pro 512GB/5G. Advantages of the S9U. The screen is lovely. It comes with the Pen. It’s very thin and nice to hold. I prefer Dex to Stage manager (even on iPadOS 17 beta) . It has a calculator Disadvantages, performance wise it hasn’t got the grunt of the M1 (never mind M2), this is reflected when using LumaFusion (also not helped by the slower 10Gbps USB C port compared with the 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 port on iPP) . I dont like the ultrawide form factor, I work overseas and spend a lot of time travelling (hence the Fold 4) . App ecosystem , there just isnt the quality of tablet apps. Resale value will be lower as more people want iPad Pros than Samsung tabs, just compare an S8Ultra with an m2 iPad Pro used . Lack of trackpad on keyboard. I use the trackpad on the iPP all the time. I am also not a fan of the Surface style kickstand on the S9Ultra. But these are just my opinions, your needs might differ from mine. In any case both are excellent devices.

Yea this Samsung Tablet is the best tablet out and waaaaaaaaaay better than any iPad out right now. BUT one thing it DOES NOT do is access the APPLE WALLET to enable U to check UR Titanium Apple Mastercard. U cant check the staus of ur Apple Mastercard on this Samsung or any other name tablet at all. So if u are a Apple person and u use ur Apple Wallet and Apple credit card on a daily. U will need to have a Apple device lying around somewhere 🙄.

Oh. And a Special Deal at Vodafone right now.on A 3 year contract.

[@me_myself_my_camera_and_i]

You can't say per sé is OLED better than mini LED. Mini LED has clearly it's strength when it comes to very bright scenarios, like being outside with a tablet. You will see way more than on an OLED screen. But when it comes to normal/dark rooms, OLED is clearly way ahead.

No unlocked SIM is a dealbreaker. No tmo. No Fi. No way. 😢

[@micksmithson6724]

To understand why the S9 Ulra will not sell in anywhere like the numbers the iPad Pro sells at you need to understand that Apple doesnt care about where the S9 Ultra is better than the iPad Pro 12.9", Simon Sinek tells this tail of when he spoke at a Microsoft Senior leadership conference and then an Apple one a short while after. It explains it quite well. I had a long play with the S9 Ultra on Thursday and its an impressive beast, but I didn't buy one. (Even though the cash is in my pocket and I use the Fold 4 every day as both a phone, tablet and docked using Dex with a 34" ultrawide, keyboard and mouse and love it). kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHayl6ejiq9pl5Y

[@darshitkoladiya]

I think the main factor in lots of palces, mainly here in India, is the cool and show off factor. I use both the S22 and S8 Ultras from last year and people just don't recognize them. My friends with cheaper iPhones and iPads get complimented with, ohh cool, you must be rich and so on. And weirdly a lot of people get off on it. Hence, the iPhone mirror selfie. I understand if a professional buys iPads due to unavailability of apps, but for most people using it for taking notes and multimedia consumption Samsung is a far better option. These damn KZbinrs can post any amount of paid, clickbaits they want. It's a fact that Sammy doesn't stand a chance against Apple.

[@damionbarrett4403]

​@@darshitkoladiya I have an IPAD PRO and a Apple laptop in my home that I hardly ever use!! I truly agree that the showmanship of having a S9 Tablet versus a laptop is far more enticing!! I don't want to carry around a laptop for travel or looking at media contents on a laptop! When an S9 Ultra can be the new go to option that is portable and easy for use and looks damn amazing when reading or watching movie contents!! I think Apple products are oversaturated with high cost!! Which is a turn off to me!

[@Jimmyfly215]

This is not a pro device. You should compare this to android tablets, not Apple. It is a tablet with high specs in terms of screen and performance. But there are not enough developed pro apps. Also, Samsung Pen is not as clean as Apple Pencil when it comes to illustration, though I do prefer when writing notes. Samsung’s tablets are huge media Hubs for me. I’m not doing any actual work on them where as my iPad I can with pro create and Lightroom

[@kaiichinose9590]

Pro is subjective. Not everyone that wants a tablet uses or needs pro create. Yes some devs work with ape for their own apps but samsung is doing the same and is t far behind when talking about creative. I still feel the s pen is better and comes with it. However if you want to use other Wacom stylus you can unlike the ipad. I had an iPad 12.9 and no longer as my s9ultra does everything I could want and more for my usecase. Do I think it's better , yes for me it is but when talking about them separately it comes down to what the user really needs.

[@Jimmyfly215]

@@kaiichinose9590 it really is use case by the individual. Samsung just doesn’t have the apps Apple has available that I use. For light room I’d like to check out another stylus for Samsung. Any suggestions?
