I was blown away by how easy it was to set up. Bought it, turned it on, used my S23 to scan a QR code, 2 minutes later *bam* it's all set up without doing anything. Data copied over, images, contact, documents, everything. I'm utterly blown away by how good this tablet is.

[@tabamo1]

This tablet is a powerhouse!🔥

[@arvandvarahram]

Thank you for the video. In my opinion, the most important reason for using DeX is that each app can run in the size it was designed for and positioned on the desktop wherever you want. This way each app runs per definition always optimized on the tablet. The argument that the apps were not optimized for tablets no longer applies when running DeX. This argument actually only applies to iPads (e.g., running Instagram) and Android tablets running in standard tablet mode. Although Samsung even allows pop-up windows even in standard tablet mode.

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

Samsung has absolutely killed it this year. From the S9 Ultra to the Z Fold 5. Their devices are loaded with innovations. My iPad basically only gets used if I'm charging my Android devices. For years we've read tech reviews that constantly claimed that Android software was useless,and I'm still not sure what in the heck they're talking about it. There is nothing that my iPad Pro does that my Samsung tablet doesn't do better or with more flair. And now that I have a Fold 5, there's no reason to even glance at an iPhone.

[@1993rufus]

Welcome to the family! Glad you broke free from Apples delusion!

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

@@1993rufus Thank you! But I was never deluded by Apple. Personally I think Apple products are all usually either over-priced or bland, with very little innovation. I got the iPad Pro free from university, and I have to carry an iPhone as my work phone. That's the only reason I even have those. My personal items are the Z Fold 5 and Samsung S7+ tablet. I've been an Android user pretty much since the beginning, with the exception of my extremely missed Palm Pre that ran WebOS from 2009 with the hidden, but gorgeous pull-out keyboard. Man I loved that phone. I went from that to the original Samsung Note and have had Notes until the S22 Ultra came out as a Note replacement. From the S22 Ultra I went to the new Z Fold 5, and I don't think I've ever had this much excitement using a tech toy in my life.

[@weresmurf5731]

Yep, I WAS considering an iPad pro because of Procreate. Then I got shown some of the programs on the S9 Ultra using the SPen. Goddamn. So much better.

[@LK-bz9sk]

That intro was so freaking classic.

[@JuanRodriguez-uh4mz]

That intro almost made me drop my phone 😮‍💨

[@gadgetmatch]

Glad you didn't drop it.

Loved the video as always!

[@sivitri1]

I love it! I love how you included the price for other currencies (including my country). Thank you!

[@tytownsend8219]

Watching this review on my Tab s9 ultra. This tablet is really good and the s pen does so much other than writing and drawing. Btw great review. SUBSCRIBED

[@gadgetmatch]

Thanks appreciate it.

[@U2haveanicedayty2]

Michael Awesome video just caught the Tech India video as well. I see you have been very busy.Glad to see and appreciate your opinion on the Tab Ultra as well. Thanks so much for sharing.💯✌️

[@thatdudedez6751]

i feel like youtube creators should at least take the apple watches off when they make videos to make people believe you feel like apple isnt better haha

[@lesburrows8469]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 😊

[@felixceasar9129]

Michael Josh... A very informed, and seemingly Sweet disposition young Man, I have to say... I like his style of rendition, clarity expression, he's definitively not lacking... Hey Michael ! Keep up the good work ☺ An admiring listener... SenSaire ...

[@Saikikittykusuo26]

He didn’t mention this in the video but, the split screen on the normal tablet goes up to 3 apps on one screen plus a pop up screen

[@JUICEbaseball]

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 I 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...

[@nataly00073]

Gracias por la reseña, muy buen video 😊✨️👍

[@weekendwarrior8179]

You can use three windows side-by-side without deck, more if you include pop up view

[@zckom]

I was happy for once when Samsung made the keyboard cover of Tab S7/S7+ compatible with S8/S8+, Samsung had finally made up their mind to set the size and form of their future tablets. This year, they change again. This is frustrating. Making most of the third-party company to produce more accessories.

[@GLImamasan]

Wow BATHTUB Scene!!! Hahaha nice review as usual!!!

I love the Galaxy S9 Ultra.

[@XinYu-Xi]

LEGO hahaha You can take more photos of it. Cool review. Too bad you do not test the paper screen. Would be interesting to know if it is worth it.

[@mehdighasemkhani8966]

S9 ultra or Ipad pro 12.9 M2 ?

[@DS-wb2we]

What stand were you using for it in the bath?

[@MindBlower18]

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 tools to test the display quality & brightness on tablets? Thx from Munich 😉

[@warrenorada7694]

Php85K plus, OMG, no. My son's costumized gaming deskptop was buffed from software to hardware worth Php70k. But I know, it's incomparable since they have different categories, from tablet to PC. But just comparing the price though.

[@scharelbrown9027]

Hopefully they will have 5g for the ultra tablet soon in the states 😊

[@bluepawn]

for what purpose would you need the 5G ? I always share my data from my smartphone, it's 1 click.

[@DelonSerinoVlogs]

Samsung Dex seems like Chromebook on steroids. As a teacher on Google Suites, this feature is inviting.

[@SushantYogi]

Nah tell me why that bathtub bit actually scared me 😅😂

[@machiquito]

The intro made the review more interesting 👌🏼

[@gadgetmatch]

Haha glad you liked it.

[@machiquito]

I'm a silent fan since you started from Rappler (as I remember) nice to see a Filipino tech youtuber shine😊

[@ericweiss384]

That is dangerous unplugged in or not.Some people might put an electric device in the tub,while they're bathing .They might think you had it plugged in.Anything that uses electricty ,even if unplugged from a electric cord is dangerous,as it still has electricty in the unit. also propping up the tablet could cause a danger.

[@borjojo]

Man, that Philippine pricing is so confusing... Converting from the other currencies does not make sense

I got the s8 ultra but it's bigger than what I need so I bought the s9

[@FactNight]

What should I buy S9 plus or this S9 Ultra or S8 Ultra?

[@gadgetmatch]

Depends on what you need and how much you're willing to spend.

[@seanriley6911]

I have the S8 Ultra and it is fantastic, reason I haven't impulsively upgraded this year, love it and would be a good price at present. Does everything and never lets you down.

[@larryenriquez3809]

Hi, mr josh, you have alot of gadgets, can u give me, the old ones, you did not used. Thank you❤😊

[@sskhussaini]

😂😂😂

[@rogermckinnon5738]

Absolutely loved mine till it just shat itself. Only 2wks in the screen absolutely spat the dummy. Great tablet but way to thin, even with a case it flexes way to much. Result the screen cracks and spits the dummy. And no it was not due to rough usage, I was ultra careful due to it's thinness

[@bluepawn]

don't blame the device if that is your fault. Get a silicon protection like anyone ! :)

[@rogermckinnon5738]

@bluepawn lol silicon protection doesn't do shit to flexing as a result of how thin it is. It's too thin, after having it repaired it didn't even make it from the repair shop to me before they had to take it back to repair shop as it broke while they handed to me. I never even handled it. It was in the hands of the repair shop.

[@SheenMuega]

Switching from iPad pro to Samsung galaxy tab S9 ultra is one of the best decisions I made in my life lol.

Hello!!!

[@yahshaunyahu]

When it comes to Samsung, all they do is talk about how "expensive it is, " while downplaying how expensive Apple products are

[@gadgetmatch]

lol did I even say the word expensive in the video?

[@yahshaunyahu]

@gadgetmatch you said $1,200 is alot for any tablet, it's the same price as the m2 iPad with SD card support and s-pen included. But yall never say the iPad is expensive. Yall just pretend like everything Apple puts out is worth the price Samsung = expensive (should be cheap) Apple = premium (worth every penny)

[@oliverdaniel3542]

@yah, I totally agree with you on this.

[@techno_ataullah]

​@@yahshaunyahuyes gadgetmatch is apple fan 😂😂

[@markcastillo3490]

It is expensive and I think this channel is not apple biased but most youtube channels does not even mention that apple products are very expensive I agree.

[@Himankur]

First 🥇

[@gadgetmatch]

You were first indeed.

[@attyjosh]

I bought the Z Flip 5, Watch6 Classic and Tab S9+. All going back to Samsung. Tab S9 plus is nothing special compared to my S8+ and my iPad Pro M2. ZFlip 5 and Watch6 are a nightmare to use. Now I know why some people are still with Apple for years not because of being stuck in the ecosystem but because of seamless integration of apps across all devices. I'm very particular with the unparalleled Apple Watch and iPhone pairing. It's something I can't live without. Bye

[@TomTomdog]

I have Zflip 4 with galaxy watch 6. also use iphone 14pro with my apple watch 8. what is your problem? I never had problems with either. can you describe what stress you out about?

[@attyjosh]

@TomTomdog first, I don't like the horrendous vibration motor of the watch6. Second, whenever I will go to sleep using my Apple watch, a simple tap of "sleep mode" either on my iPhone or Watch will sync both and upon waking up, if I turn off sleep mode in either will work on the other while on the watch6 and z flip, it's the other way around. Turning off the sleep mode on the watch will not turn off the mode on the flip. Plus, unlike on the Apple watch, which will automatically turn the screen off while sleeping, the watch6 doesn't. You have to manually go to the settings twice for the watch screen to turn off. 😠 mad work

[@TomTomdog]

@@attyjosh your right. Watch 6 motor sucks. Thats why I goto setting, sound and vibration, system vibration, and turn off all the vibrations from there. Instead I turn on system volume all the way. Also, goto developers option and change the animation down to 0.5. Then the watch kinda moves like apple watch but not better. Apple watch is definitely more premium and snappier. For the sleep mode, I dont know how to fix that. I never use sleep mode before. Maybe you can use Samsung member app to report error so the software team can do a software update on it. I hope Samsung can address your concern
