Honestly? The A9+ looks like a really great deal. I could see myself being happy with it. For as little as $250, I could get it in the 128/8gb configuration and a cheap keyboard case, and from what I can tell it could totally manage the things I would want it to do. Except, I would like the S Pen, I would like a bigger screen, I would like a bigger battery, and so ~$450 to get a secondhand S9 Plus FE with a secondhand official book cover keyboard would be a much bigger bang. As it should be for 80% more cost, but the other side of that higher cost is it has much better trade-in value 3 years from now.
@a1232149 The one that costs more is better. If you can justify spending an extra hundred, you will get a device you will like better. I don't have either of them, the only tablet I can truly give any input on is the S8 Ultra - which is excellent, but even used you'd be hard-pressed to find it for under $500, so it's probably not the one for you.
Finally, I've been having a rough time chosing between those 2. It was hard for me to find a comparing video of them and was hoping for you to finally did it. Thank you.
Just a clarify, if I get the 128 GB A9 plus instead of the 64 GB I get an extra 4 GB of RAM? Because if that's correct that's pretty awesome specs at such a low price.🤔😻
Do both the Samsung Tab A9 Plus and Tab S9 FE use the same PIN Keyboard as the Tab S9 and S8 series? Curious since Samsung hasn't released an official keyboard for either one of these tablets.
Watching on my a9+, what drive me to buy this is because it has sd chip. Fuc king hate exynos, and its way way cheaper than the s9fe. Gonna get s9+ aswell or the new s10 if they come out this year. For now i can play gran turismo 4 on budget n im happy. Good for drawing aswell this a9+ with uni stylus 😂
When it comes to these two tablets I would recommend the galaxy tab a nine plus With the 128 storage that comes with 8 GB of Ram. If it's for basic usage video email RUclips Facebook. Whatever now, if you want it for anything else like coding? I don't never recommend the S9 Fei would just recommend the Galaxy tab S8 used for around $400 on sale. The Galaxy tab S9 FE the lower end model with only 6 GB of Ram is about 3:50. That's odd sale only otherwise, it's more expensive than a used Galaxy tab S8. Which is far better?The S8 is way better than that's 9F.E
A9+ would be great for a budget device, but I really can't stand such a poor quality display. The A9+ was meant to be an upgrade to my old Tab A7 10.4", but the display is noticeably worse than my 2-generation old A7. When scrolling horizontally, it shows a terrible "ghosting" effect / traces left behind the moving icons looking more like 30 Hz than 60 or 90. That is practically non-existent on my A7 and the colors are way better, too. I wish I had returned it as it is now almost unused, I tend to grab my A7 all the time instead of the A9+...
Works 1. Note taking (4 years) 2. Watching movies 3. Facebook, YT, Whatsapp Budget: as cheap as possible, but want it for longer lasting Options S6 lite Tab 7fe Tab 9 fe
Ahhh so you compared the base model A9+ to the high end S9 FE... I have the A9+ 8GB/128GB and it performs like a champ no lags or stutters. The displays on both the A9+ and the S9 FE are very average when compared to the display of the Lenovo P11 Plus which has the nicest IPS display ever used on a tablet and it came out in 2021....
I just returned the a9 plus with 8gb of ram because it was a terrible experience. It was slow, the battery died quickly, and the screen looked horrible. I'm now buying the s9 fe plus.
@@Liam_Bob I found the A9+ and S9FE to have nearly identical performance, the S9FE has better battery life only due to a larger battery. I couldn't justify the price of the S9FE's price when the performance and overall experience didn't justify double the price.
@charlesbaxter7405 maybe, maybe not... But I have spoiled myself with flagship smartphones, and when I used the entry-level tablet, I couldn't bear it. So for me it might be worth spending the extra. From all the reviews, people say the screen is noticeably better looking, and the device runs faster.
@charlesbaxter7405 I just got the s9fe plus, and I am very happy with my decision. In terms of gaming, not a lot has changed, but the cpu is a bit beefer, so no more lag when operating the ui. The screen looks remarkably better, and the audio is a lot more crisp. I'm also getting more battery out of the device.
I couldn't decide so my husband got both of them I have the a9+ right now and the fe is coming tomorrow I got a great deal on it. It was free with my new phone
@bkd2117 it is noticeably faster and smoother on the s9fe but the a9+ is still a great choice it's great at multitasking the audio is relatively equal cameras are not the best obviously but that is just how It is . All in all it's great with the s9fe just being slightly better by having the s pen and faster smoother graphics
I appreciate this video, I was trying to figure out which would be more budget friendly and suitable for my 10 yr old.. and it seem like the A9 will do just fine..
Hi Ivan, thanks for your videos, theyre really useful. Could you please suggest a tablet with similar performance as the s9 fe but including a 3.5 mini jack input? Thanks!
For people who own the S9 FE or S6 lite. How is one handed operation? I like reading when walking around or when I'm in the bed. Also can you take notes when standing?
My daughter has the 2021 verrison of the amazon kids.hd10. I've been thinking about upgrading her... would you suggest the a9 plus over the newer amazkn hd10?
I'm a bca student who wants use tab for taking notes, presentations, classes and basic coding and preferably it will last for a long run. Which one should i choose?
I had to choose between the two tablets and I chose the Galaxy Tab S9 FE because it offers more quality and performance. Of course, you pay more but it's worth it.
can you please please recommend me a tablet ; help me make a choice between these two samsung s9fe+ and samsung s8 tablet the price difference is not much in my country only s8 is 50 dollars more expensive but not a concern. i need a tablet for mostly note taking purposes but also occasional gaming also , i am a student currently so attending classes also but i might do some good gaming on the tablet also. which is the better of the two pls tell .
i just got an s9fe+ over s8 for note taking and i think its a better choice cuz u get 2 more years of updates and ur display gets a little brighter. s9fe+ a better choice if u only want the tab for daily tasks and not heavy gaming cuz ull definitely notice the difference
I'm not that techy but my question is with all the updates that happens over the years with the firmware. Would the A9+ 64gb be enough would it show some lag later on and same thing for the S9 FE at 128gb? I wouldn't want to keep upgrading a tablet every year or 2
both the S9FE and A9+ have similar processors and both will begin to lag equally over time, however, the S9FE has the faster memory (DDR5 vs DDR4) so if you really want to stretch its lifespan get the S9FE.
Hi. im not sure if youre going to see this. But do you think it would be plausible to use the S9 Fe as a student tablet with a keyboard and use an external ssd to store all my notes and works?
Hi dear, does s9 fe tablet 6gb ram 128 gb variant cause lagging issues due to less ram..? Suggest me a better option. For note taking purpose, online video classes and usual usage, 6gb ram is enough?
HI, I have a problem with decision. after this may/june(cuz busy of exams) When will next generation (s10) will release (especially Fe version) ? I really don't wanna spend this big money(yes you read it right even the cheapest flagship fe is still quite a lot of money for me) just to know that new generation s10 fe released after a month
Remember folks, reseach yourself aswell because youtubers will always praise the more expensive product in their affiliate links in the description. ;)
I've been considering the s9 fe since it's on sale for $350, and you can get $50 off galazy buds fe, $390 for both. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer for its connectivity capabilities, particularly how it could be used as a second screen for my laptop. It sounds like it can be used that way wireless? I'd need it to just function exactly like a 2nd monitor would. Do you know if it can do that?
Sir, you have tab s9 plus, you made a comparison video. But why didn't you make a dedicated tab s9 plus video? I was really hoping to see your detailed review.

Amazing timing, I have both in my Amazon cart now and was trying to choose 😅. FE it is! 💯
I returned the S9 FE to Amazon, thinking I got a lemon. All the photos transferred from my S6 lite were highly distorted

I should've watch this video before l purchased my A9+ because I really needed a tablet that have a stylus for drawing note taking at my classes.
The most impressive thing is watching you holding them with a single hand 😅

how does the a9 plus screen compare to the iPad 10? The iPad is $350 and the a9 plus is 220 so I'm not sure which to get.
