Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series: Specs and Features
The Galaxy Tab S9 series includes three tablets: the standard Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+, and the beast, Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Talking of the display, the base Galaxy Tab S9 comes with an 11-inch AMOLED display. Whereas the Tab S9+ and Tab S9 Ultra flaunt a relatively bigger 12.4-inch and 14.6-inch AMOLED panel, respectively. Let’s not forget that all three models come with a 120Hz screen refresh rate and run on Android 13 out of the box.
One of the major upgrades is that all three Galaxy tabs are now powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor and have IP68 rating. On top of that, all three models include an in-display fingerprint sensor and quad stereo speakers with AKG and
Dolby Atmos support. In the Galaxy Tab S8 series, the base Tab S8 had a 120Hz LCD display. It’s been upgraded to a 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. As a result, the side-mounted fingerprint sensor has also been moved to under the display. For the Tab S9+ and Tab S9 Ultra, the displays have been upgraded from AMOLED to Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels. The new Tab S9 series is also Wi-Fi 6E compatible.
Thankfully, the S-Pen, and USB Type-C cable still ship in the retail box. Furthermore, we still have the microSD card slot for expandable storage.
