The Galaxy Tab S9 FE is a great tablet at a great price, or at least that's what I thought 6 months ago. But has it stood the test of time with new competition out there? And what did you guys say in the comments?

As beautiful as OLEDs look, one important thing to keep in mind about them is PWM, which can trigger headaches and migraines in people. Having good LCD options is still very much a necessity until OLEDs flicker issues are properly fixed. LCD panels have also improved and can be incredible quality too. I have a legion pro laptop and a legion go, and the LCD panels are so beautiful, even if the colours lack the same punch as OLED panels. Just something to be mindful of!

​@@marklola12check out the xiaomi pad, they just keep refusing to use oled on them lol

[@ljacobs357]

I have the Tab S9 and my wife has the FE. My aging eyes prefer the FE.

[@fablewalls]

@@ljacobs357 noticed this too - some mobile games also have bright flashing lights and I noticed after-images hours later. Deleted those games now but my S8 was actually on the lowest brightness setting too.

[@jayalonzo7999]

Yah, OLED are better for the eyes on dim light..

[@CanineWild]

I bought one about a month ago (partially on your recommendation - thanks!) and I love it. I honestly don't use it much for non-drawing purposes, so I can't speak for that, but after trying a few apps, I liked Infinite Painter, paid for the full version, and everythings fantastic. As someone just getting started with digital art from traditional, I found the transition waaaay better than my brief attempts with unscreened drawing tablets, which I just couldn't get used to. My only (v small) complaint would be that drawing does seem to drain the battery faster than I'd expected, but since I tend to get into the zone and draw for many hours in a row, it's not really a problem to have to give it a charge every night to top it up. Still, 10/10 would recommend!

[@devyajain9238]

Did the update to One UI 6 start to drain the battery??

[@CanineWild]

@@devyajain9238 Not home rn, don't have it with me- is that the update they just did? If so, I haven't noticed, but I haven't used it a ton this week. If I notice anything I'll try and remember to get back to you.

[@alko1m]

​@@devyajain9238 No, in my case, the battery drains as before the update.

[@papagooseonline]

Hey how long would the battery last when you'd draw?

[@CanineWild]

@@papagooseonline Hey, sorry, forgot about this. So on average I'd say I lose about 15% an hour. I don't typically draw on 100% brightness (say... 60-70%ish give or take.) I wouldn't say it's impressive on the battery front, but it does do the trick for me ;)

[@chinohormann]

I just got the FE+ a month or two ago and I friggen love it! I bought a Creator Edition Pen to go with it, and... I had the same issue Mr. Colbow had where the pen would register an input before it even hit the screen. That really frustrated me, lol. After trying a bunch of "fixes" I read around the internet, I just let it sit overnight and...it actually worked fine, then! I LOVE drawing with this thing now, which is strange since I think I still prefer drawing on an old Intuos rather than a screen, but it just feels good! Infinite Painter for 10 bucks/one-time payment is really nice, too. I really don't like the regular S-pen with the rubber tip. I just could NOT get used to it when messing with one on my old S6 lite.

[@Kakteenkuschler]

May I ask which drawing app you are using? I just got an FE+ a week ago too and I am still new to digital artworking and bouncing between Krita and Sketchbook...

[@shreyaskhobragade8501]

Hey, which configuration should i go for, 8GB ram one or 12 GB ram one? Coz price difference between both of these is a lot compared to some other brands out there.

[@Kakteenkuschler]

​@shreyaskhobragade8501 Well, it really depends on what you want to use the tab for. If you only do notetaking 8GB is more than enough. Even if you only use it for media consumption or drawing 8GB is totally fine. If you like multitasking 12 GB can be nice, but it's definitely not needed. Atleast that's my experience ^^

[@Mikapoofs]

I bought some replacement nibs for the S pen that is made of solid plastic, i also couldnt stand the default gel tips, its quite easy to pluck them out and shove replacement ones in, just needs a bit of force

[@brunomelo792]

Hello. I'm interested in using it for prints. Can this tablet handle a large resolution, like 24x36 300 dpi?

[@CitizenEldar]

I do agree with Brad on the screens. A 10 inch Tab S8 (that I own) had a LCD display and it's a really good panel imo.

[@DotakuTube]

I bought my Tab S9 FE at the same time as I bought my S23 FE (it was time to upgrade my phone and tablet so I got it out the way while both were having good sales) I'm extremely happy with both a few months in. The Tab S9 FE will probably slow down in a few years time at most but that's probably when I'll upgrade anyway and as of right now I love the display (it may not be OLED but it is an EXCEPTIONAL LCD displa), the speakers sound great despite not being quad, it runs everything I need to quickly and of course the S-Pen is still amazing.

[@SRLEAGUE-dp9ro]

Bro does the tablet have palm rejection while taking notes with the pen ?

[@pasindunimshan3708]

i dont think it will slow down man its a good tablet bro

[@Dragoninja]

Thanks Brad. The G Tab S9 FE 4 me is a good secondary device when I am on the Go. It is a hassle to breakout my Laptop, this device is smaller & easier to get to when I am on Public Transportation. I can check Email, edit a Document & Spreadsheet.

[@amarjotsinghbedi]

@lauracamilahernandez1636 hey if you are planning to buy an Android tablet...I would say go with the S8 Plus...it is a year old you'll get great discounts and would last you easily 5 years...I have a Samsung tablet and it's got an OLED display which truly is leagues above any sort of LCD panel.

[@chrisbullock6477]

Me and the wife always look at new product releases as an opportunity to get a discount on the current/previous year models especially the high end version. So we went with a great Black Friday special on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (256gb) this past year for the same price as the base S9

[@lmquan082]

that's very nice

[@MrSpike1181]

I’m a tattoo artist. I use a iPad Pro as a daily driver for art. But I still rock my tab S6 lite as media consumption and travel sketch book. It does exactly what I need it to.

[@inisipisTV]

I agree. I'm a retired Animation Director. I always use my Ipad Pro for all my Illustration works now, since it has the best Apps and Apple pencil. However, I still carry my Samsung S4 tablet. It's the better all-arounder. Better for Media playing, sound and picture with that Amoled display. Better for browsing. Very good drawing tablet.

[@starblissgames]

Isn't the iPad better for media consumption? The screen on the S6 Lite is pretty bad.

[@kemonokawaii7380]

Excuse me, a question. How many layers and what size to have when you finish a drawing? I'm worried that it will slow down a lot when moving 4k files with 60 or 80 layers (50-150mb)?

[@pedrothevenard]

​@@starblissgames The screen it's a pretty solid LCD, not amazing features but pretty good image quality, and the format alone makes it far better for watching content than even the most expensive ipad.

[@nathenthatcher3318]

I also tattoo…(amateur). I have I pad pro right for procreate of course. So for tattooing is procreate the only reason you use your iPad?

[@Mikapoofs]

Been using this for 3 months now, the regular FE with 8gb ram, got it as a replacement to my broken mobile studio pro for portable use, and has been loving it ever since. I use clip studio and it can smoothly run my fullsized projects with has a couple hundred layers, feeling just as responsive as my main desktop. Which is frankly kinda impressive.

​@@kemonokawaii7380I'm still using my 6 year old tab s4 with clip studio and it performs well with A3 or A2 size canvases at 600 or 300 dpi and about 60 layers...But sometimes at A2 size and 600dpi you feel that you're pushing it to it's limit so I would recommend to check the main S8 or S9 series if you want to create big files!!!

[@peppiparviainen]

​@@kemonokawaii7380 someone in the comments said it runs smoothly even with a hundred layers

[@anetkrausova]

​@@kemonokawaii7380probably kinda late(?) But ive been using s6 lite (the second to last model i believe, though the stepup isnt as big since it still has 4gigs of RAM ) and it's not as good tbh... i got it just to sketch a bit, but slowly realized i can paint more since the hussle is just too much to move files in CSP and infinite painter and as far as it doesn't lag necessarily... it will just straight up crash working on canvases around 3kx3k with around 10 layers if working with textures... sketching and all is fine, but working on an actual illustration makes it slow down just before it just crashes

[@hezvandermeij]

Just to chip in. I am still rocking the s6 lite 2020 and after an average of 350 days a year of use, for well over 3.5 years, this one is starting to slow down just a bit. It's actually most noticable at start-up and how long apps need to load up now. But all of that I could live with. it's the buren in that starts after less than 10s of smth light on screen (and that we no longer get updates on the 2020) that pushed me to get me an upgrade. Went with the s9 FE+ instead of the 6 lite 2024 due to the bigger screen :) But man I gotta say, the s6 lite live is a frigging BEAST at it's price point.

[@hezvandermeij]

I have been using (and writing this comment on) the tab s6 lite 2020 for well over 3.5 years. It burns in within 5 seconds now and it is struggling at start-up. Not all that weird, seeing as I've been using this tab for an average of 350 days a year, for all my notes , art, movies etc. I ordered the tab s9 FE+ yesterday and I am really exited!

[@BenedictTanShanWen]

I just picked up an S9FE a week ago and already it's having a markedly positive effect on my workflow. As someone who's clocked in on Wacom tablets since the Intuos 2 I have to say I'm really pleased with my first S-Pen experience, I also find it markedly better feeling than the Apple pencil to draw and paint with. Thanks for putting out your original review, definitely helped me pull the trigger!

[@lucy-jt3fu]

it has the palm rejection?

[@BenedictTanShanWen]

@@lucy-jt3fu yes, and in some apps like Concepts you can set it so only the S-Pen makes marks on the canvas while multitouch only does zoom/pan/button presses.

[@benjamina6915]

Finally just ordered one. My Lenovo Tab 11 Plus is still running great, but only has 4GB and with larger drawings I can notice the slowdown. I've looked at the newer Lenovo P12 or P11 Pro Gen2, but they've changed the pens from AES2 to MPP2 protocol and I really don't want those. They've got wobble. It's a step down. An older TAB S7 or S8 could be an option, but since the S9 FE with 8GB memory and 256GB storage was on sale at one store for less than a used/refurbished older model, I decided to go the S9 FE. Just ordered it on Brad's recommendation 🙂 For me the pen is more important than the cpu/gpu. I don't have an issue with a TFT screen, my current one has it too and it's beautiful. Can't wait until it arrives.

[@scottivlow9962]

Thanks for this updated review. I just bought one on the Amazon Prime Day Sale for $440.00. You can't beat the price for any Samsung tablet for under $450.00 including the 5G version which is what I bought. Nobody mentions in thier video that if you want 5G included you don't get to pick and which models you want for the size you want. Samsung has just one other 5G tablet it's the Galaxy Tab S9+ with a 12.4" display for $1150.00. I just want a 11" avergage notebook screen size. A tablet sceeen bigger than 6.8" LG V60 phone. So I have the LG G Tab X 10.1" with 4G LTE from 2016. It's Andriod Marshmellow and not supported by Google anymore. Tapping any app is so sluggish it can take multiple taps and like over 5 seconds for the app to respond to open up. So any tablet made in 2023 with with the slowest proceessor with the lowest RAM which should be at least a 6 gigs is way faster than my old G tab.

[@shihabrj9921]

The real differentiator between oled and lcd is burn in! As an artist you do not want burned inprints on top of your artwork,making it difficult to see where and what you're drawing.

I was on edge between saving a bit longer for S9+ or buying the S9 FE+ immediately to replace my S6 Lite (2020 ver) -- your video made me decide to go with the latter. I have the S9 FE+ 12gb/256gb now -- have to say it still really packs a punch despite being the "budget" version and I'm very happy about it. I draw as hobby using CSP EX, but I generally use huge canvas altogether and I occasionally draw comics for practicing, and it's been running smoothly in my Tab for the most part. :D

[@avienasanya130]

Ahh me too. I was thinking maybe i should get the regular S9+ series. But S9 FE+ i guess its good enough

[@AlexTraynor-xk7hs]

Is there a significant difference in performance in performance and functionality between the s9 fe and the s6 lite?

[@claepacitor]

@@AlexTraynor-xk7hs mostly yes, if at least because S9 FE+ inherently has larger storage space and RAM. I use CSP EX, and from my experience, some functionalities were slow af while using S6 Lite (the most glaring for me being loading and importing textured brush can take forever to the point of triggering ANR, and I couldn't open comic workfiles with a lot of pages). Not to say S9 FE+ is perfect, but it's much of an improvement of experience. Loading and importing brushes are much quicker and do not cause the app to slow down for the most part. There are still slowdowns and lag, especially when using a lot of 3D models in larger canvas, but nowhere as severe as it was while I was using S6 Lite. I do light gaming too (Another Eden, Limbus Company, SaGa Scarlet Grace, Ex Astris, Love&Deepspace), and overall S9 FE+ is pleasant experience. I used to be unable to do battles in Limbus at all on S6 Lite (I'm cross-playing with PC version), and for AE I had to turn on the eco-mode (in-game mode that reduces visual effects and framerate to save battery) to prevent ANR. It no longer is the case with my S9 FE+. It can run Ex Astris no problem even at highest graphics setting. If there's one downgrade that I feel, though, is that for whatever reason my S9 FE+ doesn't always register my finger gestures even with sensitivity enhanced. I noticed that often times when using redo gesture (3-finger tap), it registers only 2 fingers (undo) even when I try to tap with more force. Another reddit user I talked to apparently encounters similar case, but I'm not sure whether this is isolated or not. It's annoying, but otherwise mitigable.

No video out is a limitation, but the processor speed is good enough. We looked at the Tab S8, but the keyboards for the Tab S9 also work on the Tab S9 FE. We traded in the Tab S 6 Lite for the Tab S9 FE, and find the Tab S9 FE much better and faster.

​@pu11.__23 If media consumption is your priority, then consider S9 FE. the aspect ratio is way better for movies and KZbin. if you want gaming, I'd say go with iPad air. M1 performs better. If you want note taking, both will do just fine. my favorite note-taking app is Noteful, but there are plenty of alternatives for android. If you want to draw, it's up to you. I love Procreate, but CSP feels like home since I've been using it for years. I love how long apple pencils are. They hold like an actual pencil. S pens are small, fine for note taking, save for creator pen if you're gonna draw, unless you have a wacom stylus. if you're only gonna do note-taking, then yeah, cheap pens will do fine. do keep in mind that only apple pencils have pressure sensitivity

Xiaomi pad 6 has a slight wobble with its pen and S-pen doesn't have. Though pad 6 is still good, my friends use their art with pad 6. If you're on budget go for pad 6 but if you want to get more features go for samsung. Also take in mind pad 6 only uses their gen2 pen and overtime they will discontinue some of the products while samsung is compatible with lots of pen (I recommend staedtler if you're not gonna use spen) and you can replace different types of nibs depending on what you like while gen2 from xiaomi doesn't

Can someone please tell me what app he's drawing on in the beginning of the video?

[@meysamheydari7384]

hey brad thanks for your prefect reviews, between this model and the ipad air 5th which one do you recommend for digital arts?

[@couchchester]

both are great options, just depends on your budget and your program of choice! most people go with ipads for procreate

[@barcenasmessi]

Im waching this video while i wait for my galaxy tab s9 fe.

[@bcube865]

Bought this brand new for 290USD, good deal?

[@K113-A]

I got this tablet after watching your video! Still love it, especially since I can use it as a second screen with my laptop Still draws on it, watches youtube and movies on it. Doesn't slow down If you're looking for a companion tablet that's reliable this is it If you want a heavy lifter tablet, look away

[@HudanLinas]

What S Pen do you use in this video? Is that the S Pen with bluetooth or not If I’m not mistaken the S Pen included with Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE will have the same colour as the tab

[@ilVecchioKoala]

Really great and honest review, you managed to say pretty much all the pros and cons of this amazing device and also to debunk misinformation about it, such as its alleged inability to run Dex or the impossibility to use it as a 2nd display. Its limitations are mostly due to the Exynos chipset, BUT imo people who seek for power in a tablet are just looking for the wrong kind of device: if you need a powerhouse then get a PC, if you need a gaming device then get a Switch etc... Instead, this product is just fine for note taking, drawing, watching multimedia contents, read stuff, browsing etc... The S Pen is just great while Dex is so underrated. The only detail that disappoints me about this device is the same that affects all Samsung devices: they are all overpriced imo and so are their official accessories. I almost fainted looking at the prices of its original keyboard and cover.

[@deanspanos8210]

Once again, I walk the dusty highways. Searching for a Samsung Tabpro S successor.

[@Kat.590]

Would this be a good option for students (University)? I would just mainly use it for digital notes, internet and reading digital material for classes mainly pdfs. I am currently still with a SG Tab A10.1 (2019) and it just bothers me not having palm rejection. I've grown tired having to use gloves.

[@swgman]

the only complaint I have about tabs s9 fe is that stylus is tracked a little lower than you place it, so it's something to get used to/ edit: also the pen is a little too small for me, but it's just my thing

[@AkbarFatililah-dc3vy]

Buy a soft case for the S Pen

[@jpval3484]

in our country lite s6 costs 430$ and s9 fe 460$ who the hell would buy the older one

[@LionCola]

Lmao ikr

[@noelmartinez6783]

What would you recommend between this tablet and the Asus vivobook 13 slate with 8 GB or RAM and 256 GB storage?

[@Starsandfantasy244]

Will you be reviewing the fold6 for digital drawing?

[@ProActiveNotion]

Talking about the pen, the tips eventually wears out and Samsung doesn't sell replacements.

[@msyashaswini3283]

Have the same problem. It is so difficult to find a good nib replacement.

[@081_muhammadaldynurprayudh9]

What app you use to drawing bro??

[@Rekz_z]

Hello Brad!, can you do a review on the lenovo 12.7 xiaoxin pad pro? It would be nice to hear your thoughts on it as someone who uses tablets to draw digitally.

[@sujevanchandrabalan6431]

do you use a screen protector? if so, which one do you recommend?

[@jerinjosephgeorge1689]

I absolutely love the tablet. Works for all my needs!

[@Nawrbody]

After some research, I've decided that Samsung Tab S9 FE+ will be a great device for me. I'm an art student who occasionaly draw digitally for fun, but I think this will be a great tool for portability. Don't want to carry my heavy laptop with Huion tablet to class everyday, yknow? I really dig the screen real estate at 12.4 inches. Kinda bummed that they only use exynos chipset but beggars can't be choosers. And the main line S series is way too expensive for me so this is a great compromise

[@senthilkumarkr]

1. Hi, can I connect wired keyboard and wired mouse to Samsung TABLET S9 FE using USB C to multiple USB 3.0 adapters? 2. Does Samsung TAB S9 FE supports HDMI Output like USB C to HDMI to connect to external monitor or TV?

[@xy22ful]

Hello, can someone tell me what app he is using to draw?

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

The Galaxy ecosystem is the best Apple alternative and the most seamless on the android side of things so the S9 Fe holds a lot of value being able to integrate into that ecosystem

[@user-hc6mn4bx7d]

What about scratches on the screen? I plan to but the FE+ version and I'm worried if the pen will leave scratches. Is it possible for the screen to break? And another question is the distance between the pen and the screen while drawing, does it feel it's like drawing on paper or is there some distance?

[@manu-singh]

I have Xiaomi pad 6 and it's pen 2, how much better is s9fe competitively?

[@Sanket.vjadhav]

Xiaomi pad 6 is much better

[@AlgoJaz]

Xiaomi wins when we talk about budget, but samsung wins in overall performance. I have both tablet and trust me if you can afford the s9fe I highly recommend getting it over pad 6. But if budget is too tight pad6 is still a great choice

[@scottdpeterstv]

Do you think this would be a good complementary device to a Galaxy Book 4 Ultra as a second screen with pen?

[@alihms]

Watching this on my Tab S7 FE...Nah! I'll wait for Tab S10 FE

[@SuperZilas]

I made it to the video out part and didn't need to watch any further... I'll stick with my Mi Tab 5 for now. Great review!

[@meteuteu]

I prefer IPS display over oled display... I really dislike oled display, don't know why lol

[@ABlackGuyAdept]

Eyes are garbage

[@TheLonelyMoon]

​@@ABlackGuyAdeptI mean some people are legitimately sensitive to oled displays, most of my family are fine with oled, dad somehow gets migraine from oled displays. pwm flicker or something

[@swastiksahu8635]

Actually the thing is You don't have money to buy amoled display tab😂

[@williamlesmana3046]

So you CAN use it as 2nd monitor and basically it function as a display drawing tablet then?

[@TheTalolokins]

I love how you explained the OLED vs A very good LCD screen! Not all screens are created equal 😂

[@violian5]

Agree on the OLED vs LCD discussion. I've seen very bad OLED panel - such as the Lenovo Duet 3 tablet. That screen was so bad (poor contrast, had a bad yellowish tint, etc) - I returned it back to the store the next day. A MacBook with a Retina Display (LCD panel) blows away pretty much any OLED tablets IMO....and I'm an Apple hater because I use Android and Windows.

[@csilva7218]

The ad is crazy long geeze

[@pabloglez100]

What app is he using for sketching?

[@jagtpanda9237]

Hey Im currently thinking which App I should use for drawing on a Samsung S7 FE or should I upgrade to Ipad

[@Elangg784]

I think Ipad competitor in the future not going to be android tab but it will be windows tablet. The Snapdragon X Series can compete with Mchip from apple now and there's multiple brand that has access to that chip like Samsung, Xiaomi, Oneplus etc.. Windows on arm is also getting better.. it won't make sense for people to buy tablet with Android OS. Google has enough time where they have no competition to make their Android better for tablet experience and for pro users to work on their tablet but they simply ignore that opportunity

[@Dr.Akakia]

Apple ipad pro is like a lion in cage, it is powerful but limited with its OS, if apple bring macOS to ipad pros, it will be awesome, until then Android flagship tablets are more capable and functional

[@user-jgn1944]

Are Best Buy in the UK?

[@marcpoinson9300]

Hey Brad between this and the xp pen magic tablet which do you prefer ? Thinking of getting one and would love your input

[@logan3576]

This is where I'm hung up as well. Did you choose one?

[@marcpoinson9300]

@@logan3576 I choose the xp pen tablet I realized the only significant difference was one was made for drawing and the other one you could draw on, not a huge difference but that was deciding factor since they're so close plus I used and trusted xp pens graphics pens before. Enjoying it so far haven't been a year yet tho

[@krypt2k25]

Even though i am like hardcore Windows android fan boy i had to get an iPad for myself first the features that i wanted was similarly prices in Samsung as well as iPad’s plus the apps in ipads are just superior in a big sense qtleast for now and one big thing was the pencil , Samsung just doesn’t have that well weighted pencil and i know ,most people wont understand this one but to an architect as me who like sketching this is very important

[@santaacharjee4654]

S9 fe base model has 6gb of ram and S9 fe+ has 8gb . Does it make a big impact if I choose S9 fe over fe+ ? actually I am confused which one I should buy. Please suggest.

[@Istapriesty]

Just got mine from best buy on a great deal and tax free, I'm so excited ^-^

[@superchief1171]

Hi @thebradcolbow what is the app you are using to draw in the video?

[@artfromyuki]

hi! it's the tablet mode of clip studio paint :)
