@RebekkaJones mate, its one thing if someone spells it wrong, but a lot of people say infront. That's being nitpicky and borderline toxic. It's just like people saying "alot".
Great review, I have both tablets in my cart right now. I think I'm gonna go with the S9+, the Ultra is nice, but damn it's just a bit too big when I want to take it with me everywhere.
I made almost the same: I bought both and also the regular S9, to decide later, at home, thinking calmly... But I think that I'll also decide to stay with the S9-Plus.
I did buy the S9 but my mind kept telling me get the S9+ and I couldn’t help it anymore so I’m returning the S9 that I haven’t opened as of yet since it might be too small for me coming form an iPad Pro 12.9 and yes that Ultra looks awesome but it’s just way too big for those that want to carry it around all over the place lol…also those with the S9 and S9+ will have a better PPI making the screen look even more clearer than the Ultra so keep that in mind!
Got myself a plus one, and it is nearly to big for normal content consumption. Ultra is actually a stationary device. The weight of plus is already bad if you just read something using one hand, especially with a keyboard cover, but even bare device is not manageable in a long run. So, if you looking for a stationary tablet ultra would be great, but if you want to use tablet as tablet, s9 or s9 plus is more than enough.
I know this video is old, but I wanted to thank you for being the only one who why in depth with Dex on the different sizes. That's literally the only question I had regarding opening up multiple apps and what they look like on the smaller screen. I'm going with the ultra now because I pretty much want a portable laptop (I use my current laptop as a desktop).
Received my Tab s9 ultra a few days ago. The screen is bright and vibrant and the speakers are loud enough. I mainly use it for watching movies, taking notes and multitasking. In my opinion the bigger screen is better. Great comparison video.
@teohontech7141 im an android guy. I really tried to use iOS for 9 months, but it's either too dumb or restricted compared to android. For instance, if u are transferring a file, you can't know the status of upload or download. The files access are limited to the apps it is being downloaded from. And many others. All in all, i gave IOS a good amount of time to really get used to but i came to the conclusion that its not for nerds or geeks, its fast and smooth but S9 is completely comparable and much cheaper too
@@teohontech7141 Probably because IpadOS is so limiting and restrictive. I have the 11 inch ipad pro with m2 chip and am looking to do the same. I don't feel like I am getting my money's worth with this and see tons of wasted potential.
If youre a grafical artist go ipad for office and light graphical work Tab S9+. Pay attension if you can use an external monitor on the Samsung for Dex.
This is my first tablet. I got the 9+ because that 14 in screen just seemed like too much to deal with day to day. Plus the 5g allows me to take it everywhere and not have to worry about wifi.
My case is like yours: S9 will be my first tablet. As in Brazil Samsung didn't release a 5G version of the S9-Plus (only the regular S9 comes with 5G), so I'll probably decide to buy the regular S9, but my first option would be the S9-Plus, if such 5G version was available here.
I got my S9+ about 9 days ago and replaced my Tab S8 Ultra with it. What I really like about the S9+ compared to the S8 Ultra is the noticably sharper screen due to the higher PPI that are now comparable to the Apple devices. The larger Screen is of course great, but it really lacks sharpness compared to the + model.
And this is exactly the reason along with me wanting more of a portable tablet why I got the basic S9! Higher PPI and the portability of me having it almost everywhere I go. I have the iPad Pro 12.9 and it’s just to big and heavy to be with it all the time, I use it more like a laptop than a tablet so I wanted a tab that’s way more portable and the S9 was just the perfect option!
@@VishalSingh-kg9dq I Had a S8+ Just 3 weeks ago :). The S9+ has drastically better battery times. If you Run at 120hz on the 8+ the Difference is massive, due to the VRR. On my First load i got about 11h Screen on Time, while 8h were watching RUclips. It also Runs Smoother, Display is much brighter ESP. In HDR Mode and the Sound is better.
I definitely agree. I had Tab S7+ 5G almost 3 years, so I tried S8+ 2 months ago, but SN 8 gen 1 was not so good Chipset with battery endruance, even older Tab S7+ had better SOT. So After first see of Tab S9+ a need to change it.
should I get S9/S9+? My method of study rn is having pdfs open on Ms edge to edit while alt+tab to do quick searches. I figured it would be better to be able to drop random photos of relevance and draw on a tablet using a stylus since my study is mainly in the practical side. If I do get the tablet I plan to open split screen pdf and chrome. What say you Mr. Teoh?
Without watching the whole video Ultra is way better. That's shrimp. Small tablet cannot beat the ultra. It's like playing with basketball with someone. Who is shorts you always win Not in my house, not in my house😅😅
Good review 👍 The S9 Ultra is definitely a powerhouse BUT i'd have expected a much higher level of its display brightness! Even on my Galaxy Tab S7+ the maximum brightness seems to be higher!
Ive took my brother's tab s7+ last year on my classes ive enjoyed it so much ive missed it too i cant believe that it has a free tool which i can edit any file pdf ppt n all that, for computers its extremely difficult to find an app does the same for free
Very good comparison. 👍 Many thanks for your work. The s9+ looks slightly paler in the text display compared to the s9U? Or is this due to the higher pixel density and the smaller display on the S9+?
I know s9 + is the biggest compared to other brands in the market. But it looks too small in front of ultra. I'm having doubts if I should go for ultra. Because I'm having feeling now s9+ is too small. What should I do? Will s9+ be good for drawing and arts stuff?
They are all good for drawing. The bigger tablet will benefit work that requires larger display, e.g. split screen more, using SamsungDex on the tablet and not on external display, use with apps with lots of user interface, e.g. Clip Studio Paint S9 Ultra will feel like a laptop.
Both are good for media consumption so I would choose based on other factors. Do you use apps with lots of UI, do you use SamsungDex often, do you use it as wireless display often. And all that will be better on 14.6 inch
They have the same colour vibrance. The difference could be from my camera angle, or maybe I did not set the colour mode to match, e.g. vibrant vs natural.
Since I'm mostly using the tablet on my table, I'm fine with Ultra. It's should be alright on couch/belly/lap, but it's HUGE. You can hold an A4 paper or a 15-inch laptop and pretend it's the Ultra and get a sense of the size.
It's OLED so it will have good colour support. You can tweak the colours and colour temperature from the settings. Colour calibrator is not possible with hardware because there are no colour calibrators that I know of that work with Android.
Went to the store planning to buy the ultra but decided on the plus once i got there. The ultra is massive, lol. Can't imagine using that laying in bed.

i know it's going to be a stupid question but i want to ask something. my main purpose for buying this tablet is to play games. i play "genshin impact" and "project sekai" usually. is s9 ultra too big to play such games? s9 plus is also a pretty big tablet but it seemed small to me next to the ultra (sorry for my bad english)
I think there was a tablet case with keyboard on it. I know it is possible to connect a PS controller to play games on it, too. Is it even possible to play games (like Genshin) using the keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse? I prefer using keyboard and mouse when gaming.
Get the s9 if you are want the best portability and you are only going to use it as a tablet and reading. Get the Ultra if you are going to use it mainly as a laptop replacement. Get the s9+ if you are going to use it to consume media content and don't mind the heavier weight and larger size as compared to the s9. I personally prefer the s9+, but you generally need some type of stand with it; it gets tiring holding it in your hand for long periods.
Using as second monitor with a laptop is a really important scenario for me and since my laptop is 16 inch, I have decided to go for the ultra. As a developer, dex is not useful for me but a second nice screen definitely is :). Thanks for helping my decision

Hello, i am at university and i dont have a pc. I want a tablet that replace in the best way the experience and confort of a pc. The S9 Ultra fits good for me? The brightness is good?
@@teohontech7141 Thanks but O365 is a web application not desktop, just wondered what the experience is like. Would be interested to see a short video if you ever make one.
@@teohontech7141 Thanks. How unwieldy is the Ultra compared to the Plus? I'm being torn between the 2 of them. I carry my tablet around ALOT but I really really crave that screen real estate on the Ultra.
@@akinorigou551 I feel the Ultra is worth if it you use apps that utilise the large display, and if you use wireless external display mode, or SamsungDex often. Otherwise the Plus model is good enough.
The s9 plus is noticeably more expensive in my country. I don't know if 300 dollars more is worth it compared to the 11 inch model. Clip studio new minimal Ui is making me consider the downsize.
Both sizes have good amount of space for note taking. So I would choose based on other factors. Do you open split screen apps while taking notes, do you use SamsungDex often, do you use it as wireless display often. All that will be better on bigger display.
I actually moved from the S7 + down to the 11 inch S9. I find 11 inches to be the more comfortable form factor and size for note taking as it very closely relates to the size of an actual piece of paper. I have these opinions after having used the S7+ for 2 years, one of which was a full year of university. sometimes I felt like the footprint of the + model was too large to comfortably write on, especially on smaller desks. Bigger is not always better.
@EifDan true. I believe this is why Samsung decided not to put the S9+ on display in stores. Best Buy only displays the S9 and the S9 Ultra but not the S9+ to avoid screen comparison.
s9+ is definitely better regardless of what the reviewer says. Imagine watching a movie from your bed, or any other place than being sitting in front of a desktop. With S9 ultra is really uncomfortable. Functionality of a S9 ultra is easily replaceable by any laptop 😅
The price just destroys this product. Compared to an iPad Air 5 or mini or normal iPad or even the „pro“ 11“ it’s too expensive. I just want android Tablets to get more mainstream and therefore more developers care about optimized software. But with those prices the - only android tablet that’s actually good is way too expensive. Even the google pixel Tablet can’t keep up with this (pen, Samsung apps). But it’s double in price…
I'm a steel detailer draftsman, I use my Ultra to mark up and quote engineering pdf's its absolutely awesome way to work, and it killed my printer and a collection of highlighters lol
Thanks for this review. Deciding between ultra and plus and i think i will go for plus after this review. Heck im also thinking about base model. Im replacing old S6.
I was afraid that the lower ppi could lead to fewer visible content, but doesnt seems the case. Bought S9U, but havent arrived yet. I'm mainly using it for muktitasking (pdf reading/lecture watching + notetaking) and media consumption (RUclips, netflix and comics). For the "on the go" I already have the Galaxy Fold 4 😊
Hi please can u do a comparison of how apps look bw iPads and Samsung or Android i know u have done a similar video previously but i want to know how Android apps have evolved since then since Google did a huge improvement in Android 14 for large screens
I got the plus because it's big but not huge like the ultra and the plus can also be used for drawing or other things of that nature but it's not too big where gaming would be uncomfortable.
Trading my S8U for a S9+. Found the S8U too awkward, unless just using it on a desk like a laptop. Too big for anything else IMO. The notch also bugged. Felt like I was using a giant iPhone. Mainly joking there.
I am also wondering about the size .. I am confused between the Tab S9 and the Tab S9 Plus, and I am a medical student who needs a tablet that I can study on while I am walking.. plz give me a hint to choose the best for me
Hi, nice comparison video. Please help. I also got my S9+ tab yesterday. Could you please check if you're getting Wifi6E in device info, cuz mine for some reaon isn't showing wifi6E 6GHz support. Please let me know.
When it comes to the gaming portion of that it was very misleading. Like literally just go to the options menu instead of using defaults…… ALLLLLLMOOOOOOSSTTTTT not all but almost all games with controller support also have accessibility options to move the controls to better fit the screen and your hand size 🙃

It's unlikely because the Tab S8 held its pricing steady except for huge discount days, e.g. Amazon Prime, Black Friday, and when Tab S9 is out.
In terms of media consumption , which would you recommend as the better display
Both are good for media consumption so I would choose based on other factors. Do you use apps with lots of UI, do you use SamsungDex often, do you use it as wireless display often. And all that will be better on 14.6 inch
What's the name of the stand used to show the s9+ late in the video when demoing dex mode around 19:30?

Which one do you prefer now (as an artist or gamer) after 2 weeks? Is the ultra manageable on the couch/belly/lap?
Since I'm mostly using the tablet on my table, I'm fine with Ultra. It's should be alright on couch/belly/lap, but it's HUGE. You can hold an A4 paper or a 15-inch laptop and pretend it's the Ultra and get a sense of the size.

@@teohontech7141 Thanks. How unwieldy is the Ultra compared to the Plus? I'm being torn between the 2 of them. I carry my tablet around ALOT but I really really crave that screen real estate on the Ultra.
@@akinorigou551 I feel the Ultra is worth if it you use apps that utilise the large display, and if you use wireless external display mode, or SamsungDex often. Otherwise the Plus model is good enough.
Can I use What’s App application (without linking phone- that link device option) in Tab S9 5G
You need cellular and SIM card to use whatsapp. Otherwise you can only use Web Whatsapp
@@teohontech7141 but I've Tab S7LTE and there's only Web WhatsApp (through QR scan by phone) available that's why I'm asking... maybe s9 5G have it...
I have s8 plus wll upgarde to s10 or s11 as power incraeses
The s9 plus is noticeably more expensive in my country. I don't know if 300 dollars more is worth it compared to the 11 inch model. Clip studio new minimal Ui is making me consider the downsize.
I don't think the bigger size is worth $300 more which is too expensive. CSP Simple Mode works great on smaller tablets.
Thanks for not mentioning what country you're in
Is it really the s9+ . Not just s9 ? Didnt recall it is that small ?😅
It looks small only because the Ultra is huge. S9 is even smaller.

Para a solução da tela é... só aumentar a DPI! Simples! 😅
so no 5g?
5G models are available only in selected regions/countries.
The tablet is very responsive
I'm a teacher. Note taking is the only work I do. Which one should I buy? S9 or S9+?
I would recommend the plus, since it has to be more comfortable to write
Both sizes have good amount of space for note taking. So I would choose based on other factors. Do you open split screen apps while taking notes, do you use SamsungDex often, do you use it as wireless display often. All that will be better on bigger display.
I actually moved from the S7 + down to the 11 inch S9. I find 11 inches to be the more comfortable form factor and size for note taking as it very closely relates to the size of an actual piece of paper. I have these opinions after having used the S7+ for 2 years, one of which was a full year of university. sometimes I felt like the footprint of the + model was too large to comfortably write on, especially on smaller desks. Bigger is not always better.
i cant load infinite painter on s9
What do you mean cannot load? Can install but cannot launch?
Is the Ultra wi-fi only or is there a mobile plan version?
There's Wifi and cellular options
There's no cellular options for ultra when I bought mine. I really wanted the cellular though
Im just curious how to get a free Samsung Tab s9 ultra 😭😭
I bought it
@@teohontech7141 bruh I was just joking😂...
I have the 1TB S9 Ultra. I didn't even consider the smaller S9s.
Well woopdeedoo
@@ljink48😂
same here though I really wanted the 5G on the s9 plus
I dont know if anyone noticed, the s9 plus has a yellowish screens compared to the s9 ultra.
I've noticed this and it is bugging me. I prefer the s9+ size but the whites look true white on the ultra.
@EifDan true. I believe this is why Samsung decided not to put the S9+ on display in stores. Best Buy only displays the S9 and the S9 Ultra but not the S9+ to avoid screen comparison.
@@thomassankara2857wow? Really?
s9+ is definitely better regardless of what the reviewer says. Imagine watching a movie from your bed, or any other place than being sitting in front of a desktop. With S9 ultra is really uncomfortable. Functionality of a S9 ultra is easily replaceable by any laptop 😅
No.
Looks like s9+ bezels are wider than the s9 ultra
They are bigger
when the xiaomi pad 6? 😔
Maybe next week
So in conclusion, the bigger tablet is bigger. Thank you for this comparison. 😂
Your hand gestures are really annoying to me.
then don't watch???
The price just destroys this product. Compared to an iPad Air 5 or mini or normal iPad or even the „pro“ 11“ it’s too expensive.
I just want android Tablets to get more mainstream and therefore more developers care about optimized software. But with those prices the - only android tablet that’s actually good is way too expensive.
Even the google pixel Tablet can’t keep up with this (pen, Samsung apps). But it’s double in price…
You can get the same amount of content displayed on the S9+ as the S9U by increasing the Minimum Display in Developer Mode.
How
I'm a steel detailer draftsman, I use my Ultra to mark up and quote engineering pdf's its absolutely awesome way to work, and it killed my printer and a collection of highlighters lol
This is the review I have been looking for! I myself am 'n detailer and was looking for a comment like this!
Thanks for this review. Deciding between ultra and plus and i think i will go for plus after this review. Heck im also thinking about base model. Im replacing old S6.
I was afraid that the lower ppi could lead to fewer visible content, but doesnt seems the case. Bought S9U, but havent arrived yet. I'm mainly using it for muktitasking (pdf reading/lecture watching + notetaking) and media consumption (RUclips, netflix and comics). For the "on the go" I already have the Galaxy Fold 4 😊
This is exactly what I am looking for! Something larger to complement my fold 4. How are you finding the ultra alongside the fold?
@St3veWright how you finding yours? Going to order ultra this week myself to condiment my fold also
Battery backup ?
Hi please can u do a comparison of how apps look bw iPads and Samsung or Android i know u have done a similar video previously but i want to know how Android apps have evolved since then since Google did a huge improvement in Android 14 for large screens
Tenho o Galaxy Tab S3 4g 6 anos de uso 🤳🌎🇧🇷💪
I got the plus because it's big but not huge like the ultra and the plus can also be used for drawing or other things of that nature but it's not too big where gaming would be uncomfortable.
The plus is more portable yes, but the bigger Ultra is better display and viewing content experience. I've had both and the Ultra is better.
The question is not which one is better , but which one is more suitable for you ?
Trading my S8U for a S9+. Found the S8U too awkward, unless just using it on a desk like a laptop. Too big for anything else IMO. The notch also bugged. Felt like I was using a giant iPhone. Mainly joking there.
I am also wondering about the size .. I am confused between the Tab S9 and the Tab S9 Plus, and I am a medical student who needs a tablet that I can study on while I am walking.. plz give me a hint to choose the best for me
Get the bigger one if you use often split screen mode, samsungdex, wireless display mode.
Hi, nice comparison video. Please help. I also got my S9+ tab yesterday. Could you please check if you're getting Wifi6E in device info, cuz mine for some reaon isn't showing wifi6E 6GHz support. Please let me know.
which app do you use for note taking?
Nebo, Concepts
Waiting for S10's release this October to have a better price for S9 ultra. 😂
When it comes to the gaming portion of that it was very misleading. Like literally just go to the options menu instead of using defaults……
ALLLLLLMOOOOOOSSTTTTT not all but almost all games with controller support also have accessibility options to move the controls to better fit the screen and your hand size 🙃
The only reason to get that Ultra is of youre using it with a keyboard case and plan on replacing a Laptop with it...otherwise its too big .
Not at all. Laying down on the couch holding it is an excellent experience. Not too heavy and beautiful display.
what is the app at note taking?
oh! concepts..
