    I just purchased the TabA9 plus 5G that has 64G hard drive and 4G Ram Memory. As I only do no more than 2 things with it it really is perfectly fine. I still had the very old Tab A from over 8 years ago which also worked perfectly fine. With the 'trade in' I paid less than 100 dollars for this upgrade. I'm very satisfied with the A9 plus. More Ram Memory would have made little difference. This one is also a winner.

    I just got the 8g model & I got it to specifically play Asphalt Unite (formerly Asphalt 9), which was featured in the video. It is running the game much better & more smoothly than my laptop, which has an i5 processor, 8g ram, 256 SSD & an integrated GPU. With my laptop, I have to run the game on the "very low" graphics setting & it looks horrible & runs very choppy. With the A9+, the game looks great & I can run it on the highest graphics settings for Android devices. I love this tablet & would recommend it all day long over the 4g model because it's only slightly more expensive & totally worth that cost. It will stay relevant & work well for a longer period of time. In the near future, having only 4g of ram will not be enough even for normal everyday usage. Apps are constantly updating & requiring more processing power & ram. So, if you have the option to go for 8g, it's totally worth it.

    What I like about the A9+ is the entertainment value it offers for the price. I am a mainstream gamer of sorts but not on a tablet... But what this tablet does offer is still very huge. I can still run my Emulators NES, SNES and N64. My Bluetooth Xbox controller works just fine. But mostly I use this tablet for Content. RUclips, Netflix... etc. Still a great tablet for someone on the road a lot. I have the 8GB Ram and 128 Storage with a 512GB SD card for movies and more.

    You've forgot to mention that Galaxy Tab A9+ like many other Samsung devices from 2022 or even earlier they have an extra function in Settings called RAMplus when you can add max 8GB extra virtual RAM memory by decreasing Flash memory capacity and that works great becuase I use it on my phone I know 64GB flash is not much in 4GB model but it as a MicroSD slot so that problem can be also solved easily

    • @AndroidDigest
      @AndroidDigest  9 месяцев назад +7

      From my experience, just being honest, RAM Plus is a gimmick. I've heard some people even suggest it's even making devices slower. I haven't seen any noticeable improvements with it personally so that's why I don't mention it. Virtual RAM is slower than physical RAM. So it may store more apps in memory but it can still slow down your device. Android police suggests this too www.androidpolice.com/samsung-ram-plus-phone-how-to-disable/

  • @elliotfisch9537
    @elliotfisch9537 9 месяцев назад +4

    Am considering the 4Gb A9+ and trying to take your review into account. I don't expect to use more than 2-3 open apps at a time (and seldom that many!), don't expect to play any high-end games, but will mostly stream videos and use my browser for email and articles. So my questions is--do browser tabs count as much as separate apps re memory? Because I often have more than 2-3 tabs open at the same time.
    Thanks!

    • @AndroidDigest
      @AndroidDigest  9 месяцев назад +4

      I honestly think you would be fine with the 4 gb. If somehow you have issues with it, you could always return it and get the 8 gb. Whether it's amazon, samsung, best buy, they all have good return policies and they won't charge restocking fees. But feel free to check the links in the description and pick the right one for you. But I would definitely recommend the 4 GB model for you. You could have plenty of browser tabs open and not have issues depending on what's on those tabs

  • @UnfilteredHues
    @UnfilteredHues 9 месяцев назад +30

    Easy answer as far as 4GB of ram being a non-issue, just don't have a bunch of apps running in the background at the same time. I don't see why that's super essential for most people in the age of smartphones, tablets, and computers that are interconnected to phones so you can get your notifications there with Link to Windows. If I wanna multitask I will have one program open on my tablet, one program open on my phone, one window open on my left monitor, and one window open on my right monitor. I don't need 7 things running on my 4G of ram tablet. There's no reason why anyone 'needs' 8GB of ram, just don't be lazy and close out apps you aren't using lol. I don't think most people hold onto a tablet for more than a couple of years before they upgrade so I'm not concerned about 'future proofing'. I got the 5G 4GB ram / 64Gb model coming in Graphite from T-Mobile soon. Can't wait to throw tempered glass and a case on it and start customizing it! I'm coming from the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

      Now you need to have 3 devices running when you could have one? A tablet is a device for people who want a bigger screen for media or productivity but don't want something as bulky as a laptop. The 8gb version is not much more than the 4gb in price but it lets you get to bring out much more of the tablet capabilities.

    @sparky6757 8 месяцев назад +1

    I respect the heck out of the A9+ 128/8gb. About 200 bucks gets you a great tablet for basic tablet things, and best I can tell, it does them well enough that you really don't need any more. When Apple's cheapest tablet (available new today) is $30 more for a model with 64/3gb, on a smaller screen, no expandable memory, it makes it that much more impressive Samsung can offer you these specs for this price. Not that Apple's iPad 9 is a rip off or anything, its chip is twice as fast - but for the sorts of things I'd be doing on a tablet without a keyboard or stylus, the A9+ chip seems plenty.
    That said, I don't think it's for me. While I don't use the S Pen on my phone often, I like having the option. I also would like a larger screen, which the A series doesn't offer. I'm planning to get the S9+ FE soon, since it's available refurbished for $380. An extra $150 for a stylus, larger screen, better chip/speakers/display, and IP68? Based on Apple math we know the stylus is $130, so the display/chip/speaker improvements and IP68 must be a $20 upgrade - I'd be silly not to.

    • @AndroidDigest

      I'm happy with this comment. I want people to find the Right devices for them. And it sounds like you found exactly what you need. Like you, I normally want just a little more than the A9 plus even though it's pretty much enough for everyone. That brings you up to the Fe series, and at that point it's just about screen size. So it sounds like you are on the right track to get exactly what you need. And that's a super good Price refurbished. I got one from Best Buy for like 375 open box and that's when it was on sale for $500 new.

      Only if you plan to use the service. They typically charge for service. So it adds up to the price of the tablet over 2 years anyway. And I'm guessing you'll pay the tax on the retail price+a activation fee. Add in 2 years at even $5 or $10 a month. It may cost more then the normal tab. But if you plan to use the service? Yes.

    Great video friend, I wanted to ask you a question, in the version with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM, is it possible to expand the memory with a micro SD? Also, is samsung dex usable with these specs? Thanks in advance for answering these two questions.

    • @AndroidDigest
      @AndroidDigest  5 месяцев назад

      Yes, Samsung Dex is usable. You can expand to the storage, not the ram. The ram, it will allow you technically in the settings to use virtual ram, which uses your storage. I believe to help your ram but it doesn't really do much. The bottom line is, yes, you can add an SD card, but you can't install everything on the SD card. Movies on Netflix that you might download, those might be things that you can put on the SD card. Or songs from Spotify, most apps will allow you, if you download things, to specify the location, so the SD card is mainly going to help you if you install a bunch of media like that

      That's a tough call. And I really think it depends on what you value. Remember the s7fe is the bigger device. And that will mean a lot to some people. It also comes with an spen. But I believe it's all out of Android updates. And the tab a9 plus I believe is going to have two more updates and 4 years of security updates. I would say they're pretty close in speed. The screen quality might be a little better on the s7fe but the refresh rate is better on the a9 Plus. It's a really close call honestly. I tend personally to care a lot about software updates so I would probably go with the a9 Plus. But I can understand someone caring a little bit less about that and preferring the bigger device with the stylus. I did all of this with voice texting. So if anything came out bad, my bad

    I don't trust your opinion. How can I believe that you are objective if there are purchase links for the tablet in the video description? For example, when you discussed the 4GB version, you said several times that it's a fast, responsive model. The only flaw is that it can't handle many open applications, suggesting that closing applications is sufficient. However, other RUclipsrs have explained how the tablet becomes laggy and annoying to use as soon as you do some simple multitasking.

      Honestly, it's hard to say. I haven't done extensive testing with capcut on longer videos. And it also depends on if you're editing 1080P videos or 4K. If it was 1080p videos, I would think you would be okay, assuming you're just cutting it down and not adding footage on top of it. But I can't guarantee that. And the s9 Fe would probably be a little more of a sure bet. And if you do want to try the A9 Plus for it, I would get the 8 GB of RAM model

      To be honest I think all tablets are going to be a little slower after a year. The 8 GB of RAM will help if your little worried about it.

    I hope the apps are okay that display ratio it's either too big (app display) in a tablet mode and vertical - horizontal issue during landscape mode or desktop mode that I've experience in Samsung Dex desktop environment experience in Samsung Tab S8 device. This lead to the videos and pictures that are too big to view that sometimes you couldn't see the play button in the middle of the video or either the bottom of the reel video or picture. This is what I experience in facebook apps, web browser apps, reddit app, instagram, threads and so on.

      You can go to the advanced lab settings and you can play around with each app. To make sure it works in landscape mode, but you could also put that you just wanted to work in the normal app ratio rather than the full screen,. There are a few different settings you have there, but it's better than other tablets like the OnePlus pad, a tablet like that just automatically throws those apps into portrait mode

    • @AndroidDigest
      @AndroidDigest  8 месяцев назад +1

      The RAM only matters with gaming, since it may use all your RAM at once. Or intensive applications. Or when storing apps in memory. Like being able to have 5 apps open and go back and forth between them without reloading, vs 12 apps. Ram helps with making sure you won't have to re load the apps. The processor makes sure everything loads faster the first time. And reloads faster when it does reload. I'd pick the more powerful device with less RAM personally. I'd pick the A9+ but it's pretty close. The A9+ has a better gpu for gaming. Better performance. And a similar screen. I'd go a9+. Even with less RAM.

If I have a video on a tv app running and another window pops into the foreground it doesn't let the video on the background window continue to play. Other than that it's great.
