SAVE YOUR MONEY? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 vs Tab S8

[@jdneilso]

I wasn't going to upgrade from my S8 to the S9, until I saw the discount and trade-in deal. Best Buy was offering $550 for my S8 and a free upgrade on memory and storage. I ended up getting the S9, 12/256GB for $276 after tax, discounts, and trade-in. I couldn't pass that up.

[@FishBeeProductions]

nice!

[@kertadreenverdan6275]

Is it only me or does it look like the front cam of S8 is better than the S9 in terms of clarity? 🤔

[@evelinecarolinelienhuaming1184]

S8+ vs S9+ in the Next Contender!!! 👊🏻👊🏻😎👊🏻👊🏻

[@ddnote]

Please

[@joaquinvelasquez6252]

Samsung always making the next big thing. Thanks for comparing these two similar tablets! Id go for S8 personally. But a s9 ultra would be fun.😏

[@AttyDamian]

Just got the Tab S9, what i can say is that the SD Gen 2 is just really smoother than SD Gen 1, (of my S22U. SD Gen 2 also has better temp control. Try to consider this also.

[@antonio_gargiulo22]

I have a question, is the s8 worth 500 dollars? I don't know whether to wait for the s9 to drop in price. Thank you

[@FishBeeProductions]

I think so. But yes there could be sales on both later this year.

[@hemantparsekar9012]

For reading PDFs and book does is make any difference with tft or amoled display? Any advantage over the other?

[@MrLuffy9131]

So the thing is I realized I think oled screen is good if you are watching movies but the problem with it is if you are studying on a something that is static like notes on paper then you might get motion sickness or headaches because of the pwm. It's like if you are on a boat you get motion sickness because my theory is something is constantly moving while it should be static like the floor for example so your mind can't handle it and then that's when the headaches start. you can see the pwm when you turn on the tablet and then wait a while when the screen is dim and then view it from a phone camera. Like watching movies or scrolling fast is fine because something is constantly moving and so you don't feel the pvm

[@Calmplays2698]

​@@MrLuffy9131it's amoled not oled, but it's still better than s8

Confused between s9 and s8+ which one to buy?

[@nagarajtotager9515]

Same here..

[@chipcamels]

Do you want a smaller tablet or a bigger tablet????

[@youtubebrowser1730]

hi bro, i just ordered xreal air 2 AR glasses and it's coming next month, it is best compatible with samsung dex, ipad and mobiles with v3.0 and above version of type c port . can u suggest best budget ipad/tab/mobile or any other device that can support xreal air 2 ar glasses external display. PLEASE REPLY

[@grimtou8345]

Is the weight difference measured? The spec sheet on Samsung s site indicates that they're the same weight

[@FishBeeProductions]

Yes I weighed them after i noticed s9 is slightly thinner

[@Paranodorthoxia]

I recently upgraded from a Galaxy Tab A9+ to the 128GB/8 Tab S9. In my region, it is priced at $534.69.

[@morm2173]

How much better is the battery ? I have the tab s8 and I might wait for the tab S10

[@leo6557]

Baterry is very good. I dont know how the battery will be in about a year, but at the moment the battery last very long 😊

[@adamski101]

Not one reviewer has mentioned the mediocre battery life of the 11" Tab S9 yet. The SOT is HOURS down on the Tab S6, S7 and S8 as per the online reviews of those devices by the big tech sites when launched. Yes they had LCD displays but the 'deeper blacks' of an AMOLED display are not worth a 2-3 hour reduction in SOT when web browsing and streaming video. No way!

[@morm2173]

@@adamski101 that's why I was going to wait for tab s10 or get the plus

[@gerathy7292]

​​@@adamski101Wait so are you saying the tab s8 has 2-3 hours more battery life than the tab s9. I thought this review stated otherwise no?

[@adamski101]

The AMOLED display uses way more power than the old LCD displays and Samsung have only increased the battery size enough to give 7-8 hours of SOT for most people. My old Tab S7 gave 10-12 hours of SOT. Of course SOT is subjective but the new S9 only lasts 6:25hrs when streaming video over WiFi and 8:05hrs when web browsing. These are mediocre figures which most phones can match. Tablets can pack much larger batteries inside so should have noticeably longer runtimes..

[@mozartz73]

I really do see slight changes in the s9 ultra the screen colors are more solid and a little brighter

[@DenisseAboytesBuccio]

Do you guys think it's a good deal to get the 256gb S9 for 370 dollars (tax included) with the trade in program, giving my S8 256gb tablet? Or should I wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

[@bp9247]

It's a shame that they removed the UW rear camera from the S9 (if they had removed it because of its clarity as said in the video, why did they keep it on the S9+ and ultra?)

[@FishBeeProductions]

probably to cut costs, i'm starting to realize newer doesn't always mean you get more

[@bp9247]

Correct. I currently have the Tab S6 it has finger print sensor in the screen and AMOLED screen which both of these features were removed for the S7 and S8 models

[@gailenrique2804]

They hope more people will go to the bigger size .... more profit

[@Imjustabilly]

Just picked up a tab S8 for $419 on Amazon new! Excited for it

[@Remonzo100]

How about battery life sir ?

[@kleitosaliagas5668]

How about watching the video?

will s8 screen protector fit s9

[@soobinsii8273]

Will the S8 tempered glass fit on S9?

[@FishBeeProductions]

yes i would think so although i haven't tried one yet

[@meyibalongkumer8893]

It fits well. Got one installed on mine yesterday

[@alymerrustandy8183]

It fits for screen protector. I got mine yesterday.

[@josesoberal9640]

It does, but if you buy one with plastic guides, they don't fit the tab s9

Do the s pen of tab s9 work on s8 ???

[@jz2187]

256GB comes with more RAM too, not worth mentioning?😅

[@vishalvan3317]

At my place S8(Snapdragon 8 Gen 1) and S9 FE(Exynos 1380) are priced similar where S9 FE is 120 usd Cheaper I am engineering student needs a tablet for travel and love gaming as well Which is good for me I dont care about Display and other features except DEX and Raw Performance

[@Leshwilly]

If you want performace go for the s8

[@jd2161]

You WILL care about the display. Its so good I watch it over my TV. Its the best screen in the house and anywhere I go

[@razkhan2958]

Nothing wrong with Samsung Tab S8? But the price drop for Samsung Tab S8

[@rob12841]

Shame lcd is not on the base version. Love amoled but my eyes dont.

[@ayotsukki3887]

Is lcd better for the eyes or ?

[@daniwarrior22]

Wich is the best battery between those tabs ?

Their very similar but in the video it says s9 lasts 2hours longer

[@denislux3206]

Hey i got a question, why does the tab s8 look laggy or not as smooth as the tab s9?

[@deathmen7872]

Different processors

[@josesoberal9640]

That's the reason I traded the s8. It was laggy and had inconsistent performance. It also had very noticeable changes in frame rates

Hi, can tab s9 fit with tab s8 case?

[@amsalkhan4754]

No since the cameras on the tabs s9 have been moved slightly

[@michoel-k7b]

honest and well presented, thank you.

[@zaheerahamed7545]

It seems like the s7 won’t get oneui 6, which really sucks. Software updates is where Samsung sucks.

[@bjpa1151]

What is the conclusion ? Is it worth the upgrade ?

[@relax.b13]

No

[@gailenrique2804]

It comes down to the sales and trade up deals they're giving... tech junkies won't care cos they'll buy the latest and greatest. But if you've stuck with that tab s6 or older... it's a no-brainer. Tab s7 and 8, the performance is marginal, as he said... but the leap is from the LCD to AMOLED.

[@thefirstone4864]

Buying a s8 was the problem of itself instead of waiting for s9 because of the LCD.

[@bjpa1151]

@@thefirstone4864 I bought the S8 a year ago and the display is great. The advantage of LCD is that is better for your ayer because samsung uses a very low and pad PWM of 240hz in its AMOLED displays

[@Siri_Duffa]

​@@thefirstone4864Not necessarily. Some people get eye strain and headaches from the PWM on Samsung's amoled screens. In that case, LCD is always the better choice.

[@arianfouladi6856]

s9 vs s8+ ?

[@Saunak-Barnaul]

Go for S9

[@gtafzjg]

Is it worth to get the s8 if i can get the s 9 for 90€ more?

[@FishBeeProductions]

both are good options but sort of personal preference, if you have the money i'd probably go s9

how is the s pen writing experience ?? is that same ??

Bro... your not missing much. I have both and using them both there's sint enough of a performance different to justify upgrading. Maybe the s10... but NOT the S9.

[@hybridangel3403]

I reallly cannot justify wasting money. upgrade from the s8 the s9I think Samsung are treating their cutomers as though theyre stupid and If they really want to look out for thee environment stop popping out gear for the sake of it witht the odd improvement. And give us back our little charging brick.

[@jd2161]

...... Every company does incremental changes. No one is telling you to upgrade every year. How old are you? How are you just now seeing this? Someone who has a Tab S6 is going to be amazed with a tab s9. What are you expecting from s8 to s9? I dont get it

[@exil3dlivecom]

not enough of a upgrade honestly, well wait for s10

[@Leshwilly]

Here in México are 3 days of Good offerts called el buen finlike the black friday, i bought the s9 12/256 at 638.82 at today's exchange rate itself the tablet is Good in games and the screen ts so exquisite ,i had the tab s7fe and it Was a good change,but i think the s10 Will be better of probably having the 8 gen 3.sorry for my english
