Design and Build Quality

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ has a sleek and slim design, so you can take it anywhere. Designed with a 6.3mm thick and 624g light body, it can accompany you on all your adventures. Built with a fabulously good quality aluminum, it’s a study in sophistication. One feature that’s not easy to find in tablets, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ combines a high IP68 water resistance rating for extra-sturdy protection against splashes, trickles, and being caught in a downpour.

It’s a feature that brings complete peace of mind that Samsung has really thought of everything for anyone on the go. There are lots of cool different colors to pick from, including mint, gray, silver, and lavender so that your tablet looks as stylish as you do. The essentials are here but neatly designed such as combined power button and fingerprint reader, volume control and a super sound dual speaker set-up too. Plus with the ability to support Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, it’s super easy to connect. For charging or data transfer the USB-C port works beautifully while a microSD card slot gives you up to a terabyte of extra storage with such hard to find expandable storage.

Display and Screen Technology

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ features a massive 12.4-inch screen with a 2560 x 1600 resolution so you’re getting super sharp, super clear visuals whether you’re reading, watching videos, or looking at all those family photos.

The screen technology used here is TFT, so you’re getting an excellent and clear screen but it’s not quite as vivid as the AMOLED screens seen in higher-end models. With a pixel density of 241 pixels per inch, it’s still beautifully clear and certainly perfect if you’re watching all the latest shows or something a bit more serene such as a soft sunset GIF.

Don’t squint into the sun, leave colors as they are but the vision booster feature can adapt colors to make it more readable in sunlight giving you extra adjustment to the display’s utility. While looking slightly diminished and a bit reflective at the sides, the forward-facing view is where it’s bright and very accurate to the colors being displayed. No problems there and that’s without using the eye protection mode for a more ‘soft’ 50 nits intensity screen (it’s rare to find an LCD tablet lower).

It’s not OLED but the screen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ feels vibrant and hits high refresh rates very nicely, so it’s raised up there with some really good visual tech with its size and resolution making for a great viewing experience.

Sound Quality and Audio Features

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ comes with a stereo sound setup that includes 2 speakers, which is perfect for well-defined audio with good bass presence. This, ultimately, should translate to a more immersive listening experience, with a sound quality that works well for all sorts of different types of content.

The tablet sounds good, so tell it thank you. Clear audio output with rich tones can be heard with music and movies, and throw in some Dolby Atmos support to enhance both system-wide sound and gaming audio even further. The device includes a 9-band equalizer, so you can customize the audio to your heart’s content, and codec support that includes: SBC, AAC, and SSC.

It might not have a headphone jack, but with the right pair of Bluetooth headsets — or a USB-C adapter — it should work just fine. Finally, the Samsung Sound Assistant app is included on the tablet, and it allows you to direct certain sounds to specific Bluetooth devices, control sound preferences, and more. One of those things is more so to the audio endpoint side of things, but it’s still worth noting.

Camera Performance

On the camera front, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ comes with a front 12MP camera, and dual rear cameras including a main 8MP camera and an ultra-wide 8MP camera. The cameras are nothing if not for the fact they can do other things on the side, coming installed with features like an automatic document capture mode. Front and rear autofocus are available. If it’s not mentioned, the rear camera setup only features fixed focus. Those nearly in the same sentence probably makes sense here. Finally, if you need to use access to a rear camera, don’t worry about not being in front of the camera because it supports a rear document capture mode. I crack myself up, but both of these, plus the QR reader should make this tablet a bit more useful.

Software and User Experience

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ ships with the latest Android 14 operating system, optimized with a One UI 6 interface for a seamless user experience. The tablet supports regular software updates and security patches, guaranteeing top-notch performance and security for its users.

With a taskbar to switch between apps quickly, a sidebar to access apps swiftly, and game booster settings to improve your gaming experience, this tablet is equipped with the tools for versatile multitasking. Samsung Notes integration, Smart View wireless projection and Samsung DeX offer a customizable experience, tailored to your interests.

An advanced security system includes a fingerprint reader, Secure Folder and McAfee partnership protect your data from unauthorized users. Paired with Digital Wellness functions that let you track your app usage and set time limits, this tablet is designed to develop a healthier digital lifestyle.

For productivity tasks, automation modes, routines, and a robust photo editor in Samsung Notes are included with the device. The S Pen offers pressure sensitivity, hover functionality and precise control, so you can take notes naturally, like a student, write professionally, like a working professional and sketch creatively, like an artist.

While the tablet excels as a productivity tool, it might lack the competitive edge. The tablet's Exynos 1380 processor, paired with 8GB of RAM, isn't quite the best combination for gaming. Its Game Launcher, Game Booster, and its optimization for the most popular games suggest this device may fare better with casual game titles.

In general, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ offers a versatile software experience, prioritizing productivity, security, and user-friendly features, so you can work, game or create content without limitation.

Battery Life and Charging Speed

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is packed with a 10,090mAh battery, offering excellent battery life, allowing you to use your device for extended periods. With support for fast charging, you can restore your battery life quickly, keeping downtime to a minimum. The tablet's battery life is similar to a device with a 5,000mAh battery, balancing well between power consumption and longevity.

Put to the test, with heavy usage, the tablet managed a battery life of around 5 hours and 10 minutes, demonstrating it can handle heavy-duty tasks. In moderate usage, battery life could extend well beyond this, promising all-day usage, without regular recharging. A power-saving mode is also available to maximize battery life, for longer productivity.

Charging with the tablet's 25W delivers a charging speed that is adequate, but it wouldn't be classed as among the fastest. In testing, the tablet managed a charge rate of 9% in 15 minutes, up to 24% in half an hour, to complete in 2 hours and 11 minutes. It is a good balance between charging speed for quick top-ups, so you can stay connected and productive, all day.

Performance and Gaming Experience

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ delivers smooth and responsive performance with its Exynos 1380 processor and 8GB of RAM. It is not the most powerful processor in its price range, but the tablet breezes through multitasking without a hiccup, setting or getting hung up in any of the common everyday tasks. With productivity-friendly software features and usability in mind, this tablet provides a software experience that’s all around solid.

In gaming, Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ features Game Launcher, Game Booster settings, and optimizations for popular games.

These features are bolstered by support for Discord integration, ensuring that you don’t get isolated from the rest of the gaming community, so you can keep in contact and engage with friends and enemies alike.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ doesn’t have the best gaming performance, but it does make for a pleasant gaming experience for casual gamers. You may not be able to just crank the settings up to the max on the graphical performances of the high-end games you’re playing, but the tablet should get you some pretty stable gameplay with a minimum of frame loss and low heat after longer sessions. It provides a gaming experience that’s aimed more at productivity and usability, so it’s an excellent casual gamer’s tablet, offering a little bit of everything for a wider range of users.
