Unlike last year’s Galaxy Tab S8 which had an LCD, Samsung outfitted the vanilla Tab S9 with the same Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel as its larger siblings. The Tab S9 boasts an 11-inch diagonal with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, a single 12MP front facing cam and an UD fingerprint scanner. Tab S9+ gets a 12.4-inch diagonal and the same refresh rate and it has dual 13MP + 8MP rear facing cameras just like on the Tab S9 Ultra. Samsung’s Vision Booster is also present on the Tab S9 and S9+ models.
Tab S9 and Tab S9+ are also equipped with
the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset but the Tab S9 is only configurable
with 8/12GB RAM and 128/256GB storage while the Plus gets 12GB RAM as standard
and is configurable with 256/512GB storage.
The other point of difference comes in the
battery department where the Tab S9 brings an 8,400 mAh battery while the Tab
S9+ gets a 10,900 mAh cell. Both tablets support up to 45W fast charging. All
Tab S9 models boot One UI 5.1 based on Android 13 and come bundled with S Pen
styluses.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 starts at US$ 799/£ 799/€ 899 while Tab S9+ will go from US$ 999/£ 999/€ 1,199.Pre-orders start
today while open sales are set to begin on August 11.
