I've just stumbled on your review and I'm very impressed that you prepared for it and was using the tablet for a month already before giving the review. It's refreshing to see this type of reviews rather than the usual unboxing reviews. 👌

Nice review! I've been enjoying this tablet for over a month now, and I agree this thing is surprisingly good. I'm glad I've swapped this for my old Xiaomi Pad 5. This also came with a free brick charger and the one piece version of the slim keyboard cover. If you want a Tab S9 but too constrained on the budget, this is your next choice. You're not losing all that much, except maybe the DeX version where you can export your display to an external monitor.

But I found it on sale for $415 (same as Best Buy) but I was able to get a $70 keyboard for free. I'm not going to lie I have no idea how I did it. But I just read their suggestions and either answer the questions (like getting a discount for being a medical worker) or read the promotions and you will always find personalized deals.

Besides the amoled, which is most important to me (with higher refresh rate), the processor (I don't want a new tablet that lags), 4 speakers, better battery life, more RAM, the camera. On the side of the FE I do like the side button fingerprint sensor better than in display. Like I say it's still a hard decision with the big price difference.

Currently the 128GB entry level S9 FE is on sale at Best Buy for $400 versus the $450 regular price. In late Dec '23 - early Jan '24 the Tab S8 is on sale at Best Buy for $500 ($200 off regular price). Pro's and Con's to this, the S8 was released almost 2 years ago in early 2022, so it won't get as many updates as the S9 FE, but the S8's chipset is much better. Samsung is really trying to be competitive with their pricing right now, being that OnePlus released their first tablet in early 2023, and Google just rejoined the Android tablet scene again in mid 2023.
