I bought the A7 Lite as Wal-Mart had it for $99. I want something to carry with me when I go thrifting... BUT the A7 just didn't cut it. I put few apps on it and over 60% of space gone and laggy. After watching your video I found the A9 at Amazon for $124. But it was a model for the middle east. It works fine regardless. Yes the 25% increase in ram, the better processor and GPU made a world of difference. Thanks for the review, I'd never bought it if I hadn't seen it. Love your videos!!

@@deleqtronica8733 The G99 processor is not very strong. If you set it to run at a higher resolution (better display) it won't have the same power as it does with this display. It's the same as making a computer video card work at a higher resolution - the frames per second immediately drop.

Software updates are important to stay supported by Google ecosystem. My old Huawei tablet cannot run RUclips app anymore and have to use web version, which is subpar.
the difference is that the ipad mini is nearly 5x more expensive. Amazon sells A9 for nearly 100-105$. Amazon sells the ipad mini 2021 for 470-480$. comparing the two tablets is like comparing a ferrari and a 1996 toyota.
@@justincarlmonroy1787the price difference still doesn't make it "similar pixel density to the iPad mini" as said in the video. It's just factually not correct.
Why is it "a shame" about the 60hz display? I have a phone that has 120hz (a54) and only use the 120 when playing games; other than that, I'm at 60. Who needs "buttery smooth graphics" to browse the net, or go through the UI? And please note, I said "need" not "want" or "lust for". That said, this and the other specs are good or bad on a case-by-case basis. :)
People perceptions does change after so many budget phone already has at least 90mhz screen. Coming from it and going back to 60mhz feels like a "stuttery frame" for most people so it worth to mention.
I wish you would've shown the Geekbench comparison with the A7 Lite. As its predecessor, it's a very important information to take into consideration!!!
""How important are long software updates""?? My answer to that question is app compatibility and security updates including bug fixes. As of May 2024 RUclips requires your device to run Android 8, while Google Chrome browser and Microsoft Word require Android 10. These OS requirements increase as the years go by, so it is important for an Android device to have an OS that is at least three versions ahead. If a person uses a banking or debit app on a mobile device, software security is important including a proactive approach to overall device and data security on the users part.
@MrTkaczu thanks for the info I've just been informed that the A9 table is only setup for 15 Watts fast charging,but it's good to know that I can use the 45 Watts charger
I care about software updates because of new features, but I don't care about security updates. But I wouldn't get a tablet with 4GB RAM nowadays. 6GB is the minimum for me, 8GB is better
I have bought the A7 Lite LTE for christmas for me. Huge huge improvement over my previous Amazon Fire tablets. I have nothing to wine about the A7 Lite. It has 3 speakers as does the LTE version of the A9 as well. Only LTE versions have 3 speakers. I use the tablet anyways only for mobile entertainment majorly RUclips. The 3 GB of RAM are never filled up having open only 1 App at once. So 3 GB of RAM are plenty but 4 and more would be better. A tablet is not for playing games or productivity but rather was intended for sitting outside or in the bed watching YT, check some emails, listen audiobooks, read some newspapers on the coffee table or browse in an emergency the web. Play games and productivity as well as watching movies for that there is your desktop PC with an big screen. Thus the A7 Lite LTE does everything what a tablet is supposed to do.
a7 lite is ok but the cpu power of the Tab a9 is more than 3 times as powerful which will mean it will be a lot longer before it starts to struggle with general os and apps.
Greeting. Can you please tell me about this one and Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3. Which one is the better for using and performance. Both are the same price
If only the battery is good. Glad to see that you point that while others don't. I really considered this one as my daily driver since it has LTE option.
I use Samsung tablet S7. Now they have Samsung tablet S9. They have bigger screen. You may consider. Can go to phone shops to take a look. Tablet really made it convenient for me to do work and study because I carry it around for Microsoft Office which is lighter, instead of carrying laptop.
Hello, Is it fine for reading ebooks and pdf? I mean do you really notice pixels on it while reading or do you suggest tab with 10 inch full HD like some Chinese ones for this ??
Hi, somehow the pixels are noticeable. Main reason I opted for the Legion Y700. Only problem is not all games/apps work on it. If only the A9 was at least 1080p resolution, I wouldn't have second thoughts. I just want an 8-9 inch android tablet with 1080p resolution😢

I bought one last year and ended up packing it right back up and returned after using it for an hour.

@@deleqtronica8733 Yeah I had a old Nexus 7 from 2013 thats just not capable anymore plus it kept dying so I needed something right before a trip I was taking. Since I prefer 8-9" tables, I grabbed the A7 for like 125.... Seemed once it boots and sits for a few it smooths out but booting and initial use is slow and sluggish.
Great review as always. Are you aware that a new high-end 8 inch tablet from NEC called the Lavie T9 8.8 inch is coming out in Japan in May? Digital pen support, LCD display: 2560 x 1600, refresh rate 144 HZ, Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1, 12 GB memory and 256 GB storage etc. The only problem is that it'll cost over 1000 USD at launch (at least according to the Amazon Japan page).
As someone who wanted a smaller portable tablet for media consumption. I wouldnt complain if Samsung gave the tablet a slightly weaker CPU in favour of a 1080p IPS screen. With that said. I was also looking at the Lenovo options but the samsung seems to be the best option for a small tablet.
@@MrTkaczu I hear you! and I heard many reviewers say the same thing although im not sure why that is... Maybe the M9 running close to stock android without all the bloat running in the background extends the battery life. In any case, I picked up my M9 yesterday so ive had it under 24hrs. I can confirm that the screen on it aint that great but setting video quality to 1080p despite the 720p res on the device does sharpen up the picture quality more. Its never going to be 1080p screen quality but there is a very noticeable bump in video quality when watching in 1080p. Ive spent a good few hours doing some A-B testing on it. And its not like there is a better option for the money so even if it sucked you just have to deal with it.

Thank you very much for your well explained review, I am buying this for my partner she has never had a tablet before and I think this will suit her as she does not need it for playing games, just for searching internet and maybe use it for things like RUclips and Netflix etc. Thanks again you have a new subscriber 👍
A capacitive stylus will work on anything. This won't be as good as the s-pen or Apple Stylus. But it will do easier stuff. These often have a silicon disc under the point of the pen.
Thank you for this very informative and concentrated review 😊 There is an s6 2024 edition on the way, so it might be a good competitive for the a9/a9+ series .
It is not available in India too with that configuration.. Samsung representative told me that there is no such configuration for A9. In A9 plus one can get that configuration..
I'm trying to find a budget Android tablet to take to our caravan. We do not have WiFi at caravan so want to connect an usb c to hdmi cable to our TV that is not smart., to screen mirror what is on the Tablet. Can this Tablet do this? Thankyou.
This is not possible in any entry level tablet or phone, even all the way to Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Only Galaxy Tab S9 non FE supports using USB C to HDMI cable. Alternatively, there should be tool or device you can buy that can receive and convert any Miracast Wireless Streaming to any TV via HDMI.
I would get a 4G wifi router for your caravan, then you can use whatever you want, like a google TV, fire TV stick, etc. Connecting tablets and phones with HDMI is never a good experience in my opinion. Or you could connect the TV stick to your phone via mobile hotspot.
Dig the shirt. Again a helpful and lively review. If the A9 had not been available only in International [b/c I wanted to avoid any hassles] I probably would have gone with it. Know Samsung and like budget. But glad I went with the Tab M9. Do not know Lenovo. Kind of a businessy brand from my observation. My purpose is mainly for streaming movies so sound is impt and not concerned about security updates for my tablet. In terms of Android updates- been lot of issues with 13 and bricking, so right now hard pass in terms of being jazzed about new updates- that aren't always better and just create unfortunate issues.
Amazon renewed in the UK, £360 for the iPad mini 6 if your budget can stretch that far. One-year warranty included. That would be worth the extra £150 over the Tab A9, as it is a far better tablet in every metric and still would get four more OS updates despite being released in 2021.
The 2 aren't even comparable, the Mini is so much better it's not even funny, I wish Samsung made a true competitor to it instead of releasing these mediocre tablets.
Ive used A 8.0 with spen, A8.4, A7lite, A9 4gb ram, and A9 8gb ram. I can tell A9 8gb model is a beast among those 8 inch tablets for sure. I use it for ntflx,youtube,web browsing, and some games (pubg, wildrift, kartrider rush plus). I can tell you won't regret if u get A9 8gb ram model.
Hi, if you don't mind me asking, what would you rank next after the A9 8GB ram model? Particularly curious to know which would be better between Tab A 8.4 and Tab A9 4GB
@deleqtronica8733 nope. That's just the A9+. What you might be referring to are the international models being sold by 3rd party sellers in Canada. No Canadian versions yet cuz Samsung is being goofy
@magaming7853 you're right I didn't notice it was sold by third party sellers, I know the a9 wasn't released at all in the US, maybe it's the same here
I bought a few months ago after i was sick and tired of this realme pad mini 8 in tablet. Realme stick and everybody on android 11 and that's all you're getting to get no upgrades with them at all on that product. I was expecting a couple things to be disappointed within the samsung i bought mostly samsung by whole life. Two kind of major things that bothered me with the samsung tab a9 is the battery of 5,000. The realme 6400 that one really kicks butt. I'm only getting six or seven hours out of this one so that's a little disappointment to me in the video courses the RAM which i don't understand from samsung. A9 PLUS IS AVAILABLE IN 8 GB RAM/128. When i first saw a spec sheet on is the 8 gig 128 configuration was supposed to be available in the a9? At least that's the way to review ran from one of the tech magazines! Can't find any other rate in i can't use a 10 if i could use a 10 i would have bought the a9 plus! In the third thing now that i have had it for a little while the 60 hz he's right to 60 hz screen resolution is kind of weak. I saw in the samsung s8 something about they were trying to do buy one get one on tab a9 or something like that. Claim they were going to get rid of somehow or something i don't know. Wish i knew that at the time i would have bought 2.
This tablet's a binge-watching beast - huge, clear display for shows on the go. S Pen feels like a real pen for notes & sketches. Battery lasts forever! Only issue? Kinda slippery. Fixed that with a clear, grippy gadgetshieldz body & screen film tho! Feels secure, screen's protected, all without the bulk. #WorthTheUpgrade ✨
I won the tablet from my school, I don't think it will support video editing as I tried to play Roblox with it on the lowest graphics and it ran poorly
I need something small and cheap for work email at home. I refuse to put work email on my phone as I have been hacked in the past with this email. This should do the trick.
I'm enjoying my tab a9 right now even though it has lower spec than other china tablets with 8-inch screen but I wish it has higher storage and a bit higher chipset so game wont lag but its okay i mostly use it for reading.
@elle_00000 its been great so far ive been using it everyday for video editing I use it actually to edit the video in my channel as for reading im using it to read manwha and it last me about 7hours max for editing around 5 hour if streaming around 7 hour also.
Hi, if you don't mind me asking, which would you pick between Tab A 8.4 (2020) and Tab A9 4GB? Assuming Android updates is not an issue (use case = reading and maybe youtube)
Cool I am thinking about buying this one to play Magic Arena, the cheapest one. It is only card games, not so heavy. I will use only for this. I hope it works. I used to play on Mac book but I realized apple is very bad for playing games. Apple keeps doing everything to get your money.
It would have been the best tablet had it been lighter than iPad mini 6. Anyway My Next Tablet will be Samsung tab A11 (Tab A10, which i presume, will be skipped).
Why i chose a9: 4 year updates, fastest performance, 8gb/128gb futureproof, warranty, camera quality with samsung experienced processing, comfortable size for gaming control buttons, size - my daughter is only 6 and a9+ would have been too big! Was on sale for 161 pound on amazon with 3 year manufacturer extended warranty and uk version. B a r g a i n
I watched this because I wanted small form factor but that awful display resolution turned me off. Instead I bought for 150 euros an Honor X9 Pad and I am super happy with it. It is almost 12 inch display but is slick and I could not get better than this for 150 euros.
Frankly I like the Lenovo V700 specs but it doesn't have LTE version.. the A9 with the 8gb ram/128gb version, which should be better than the 4/64 for most 8 inch tablets.

is a9 good for video n picture editing like capcuts n vanca ?
Am considering this model as my Samsung Galaxy tab p1000 has finally conked out after 15 years..
Thank you for this very informative and concentrated review 😊
There is an s6 2024 edition on the way, so it might be a good competitive for the a9/a9+ series .
anyone else think that he sounds like the pilot talking through the speaker in a plane
Small tab to use as personal and for biz is fantastic
8' inch
includ pen
with weight around 300g
Ram 8gb
Snapdragon processor
Probably already somewhere in the comments, can you make calls with an unlocked sim card in the tab A9 4G?
Yes you can
May 2024 and still not available in the US, and can't find the 128gb / 8gb memory model anywhere.
It is not available in India too with that configuration.. Samsung representative told me that there is no such configuration for A9. In A9 plus one can get that configuration..
I see listings of 128gb/8gb in other countries just can't buy it the usa. We're still stuck with a7 lite.
I'm trying to find a budget Android tablet to take to our caravan. We do not have WiFi at caravan so want to connect an usb c to hdmi cable to our TV that is not smart., to screen mirror what is on the Tablet. Can this Tablet do this? Thankyou.
This is not possible in any entry level tablet or phone, even all the way to Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Only Galaxy Tab S9 non FE supports using USB C to HDMI cable. Alternatively, there should be tool or device you can buy that can receive and convert any Miracast Wireless Streaming to any TV via HDMI.
buy a second hand laptop with a hdmi port
I would get a 4G wifi router for your caravan, then you can use whatever you want, like a google TV, fire TV stick, etc. Connecting tablets and phones with HDMI is never a good experience in my opinion. Or you could connect the TV stick to your phone via mobile hotspot.
The video comparison should also be against standard resolution PAL TV. Thanks for youur reviews!!!
Samsung tab A9 better or lenovo M11 !??
Does it support the samsung pens.
No, just cap pens.
I tried but I’m old and I can’t keep up with your accent. I’m 50% responsible. LOL
Your subject matter looks excellent.
Shouldnt you be comparing it with the lenovo m10 not m9 and the a8 samsung not a7 lite
Imo the competitions are Lenovo M10 Plus (3rd gen), Redmi Pad and Honor X9. You compared it to year old tablets
and you are comparing an 8" tablet to 10" tablets. Thats like comparing a mini cooper to a 4x4 land rover.
Dig the shirt. Again a helpful and lively review. If the A9 had not been available only in International [b/c I wanted to avoid any hassles] I probably would have gone with it. Know Samsung and like budget. But glad I went with the Tab M9. Do not know Lenovo. Kind of a businessy brand from my observation. My purpose is mainly for streaming movies so sound is impt and not concerned about security updates for my tablet. In terms of Android updates- been lot of issues with 13 and bricking, so right now hard pass in terms of being jazzed about new updates- that aren't always better and just create unfortunate issues.
in my country you can get this tablet at the moment for as low as $103 which is really amazing tbh
Amazon renewed in the UK, £360 for the iPad mini 6 if your budget can stretch that far. One-year warranty included. That would be worth the extra £150 over the Tab A9, as it is a far better tablet in every metric and still would get four more OS updates despite being released in 2021.
The 2 aren't even comparable, the Mini is so much better it's not even funny, I wish Samsung made a true competitor to it instead of releasing these mediocre tablets.
Ive used A 8.0 with spen, A8.4, A7lite, A9 4gb ram, and A9 8gb ram. I can tell A9 8gb model is a beast among those 8 inch tablets for sure. I use it for ntflx,youtube,web browsing, and some games (pubg, wildrift, kartrider rush plus). I can tell you won't regret if u get A9 8gb ram model.
Hi, if you don't mind me asking, what would you rank next after the A9 8GB ram model? Particularly curious to know which would be better between Tab A 8.4 and Tab A9 4GB
@zytenn performance wise, A9 8gb ram >> A9 4gb ram >>> A 8.0 with s pen = A8.4 >>>> A7 lite
@@jonkim8060 Thank you!
Bonjour, Il fait réellement IPS ce Samsung Tab A9 please?
I don't think so, the screen is quite low quality from what i've seen of it.
TFT
Wow that's cool. I"m sure a tablet of this caliber would very easily make it to Canada right? Right???
It's already being sold in Canada
@deleqtronica8733 nope. That's just the A9+. What you might be referring to are the international models being sold by 3rd party sellers in Canada. No Canadian versions yet cuz Samsung is being goofy
@magaming7853 you're right I didn't notice it was sold by third party sellers, I know the a9 wasn't released at all in the US, maybe it's the same here
@deleqtronica8733 i believe so too. Such a shame cuz I was really excited about it
the only bad thing is it's only HD and not full hd. That's the only thing make me not to buy it.
What about Android OS update?
I talk about it in the review
@@MyNextTablet can it be used for editing videos?
What did you say?
Nice review. Thanks. Please review Realme Pad mini Vs Samsung A9 tablet
the ipad mini is better but approaching 3 times the price of the A9. totally different offerings.
I bought a few months ago after i was sick and tired of this realme pad mini 8 in tablet. Realme stick and everybody on android 11 and that's all you're getting to get no upgrades with them at all on that product. I was expecting a couple things to be disappointed within the samsung i bought mostly samsung by whole life. Two kind of major things that bothered me with the samsung tab a9 is the battery of 5,000. The realme 6400 that one really kicks butt. I'm only getting six or seven hours out of this one so that's a little disappointment to me in the video courses the RAM which i don't understand from samsung. A9 PLUS IS AVAILABLE IN 8 GB RAM/128. When i first saw a spec sheet on is the 8 gig 128 configuration was supposed to be available in the a9? At least that's the way to review ran from one of the tech magazines! Can't find any other rate in i can't use a 10 if i could use a 10 i would have bought the a9 plus! In the third thing now that i have had it for a little while the 60 hz he's right to 60 hz screen resolution is kind of weak. I saw in the samsung s8 something about they were trying to do buy one get one on tab a9 or something like that. Claim they were going to get rid of somehow or something i don't know. Wish i knew that at the time i would have bought 2.
Actually no one talks about it, but the A9 can be used as a phone, it has a speaker above the front camera.
There is literally no sim managers setting tho, I just got one and am about to return it cause it won't even register my sim
If you bought a LTE version, do you have the call app?
Vs Tab A8 with Spen?
Perfect tablet to use as satnav :)
Can I make use phone calls and use WhatsApp on this tab?
Can you show me the galaxy tab e
I got only wifi support. Hope it will be fine
This tablet's a binge-watching beast - huge, clear display for shows on the go. S Pen feels like a real pen for notes & sketches. Battery lasts forever! Only issue? Kinda slippery. Fixed that with a clear, grippy gadgetshieldz body & screen film tho! Feels secure, screen's protected, all without the bulk. #WorthTheUpgrade ✨
Can you use thos for video editing?
I won the tablet from my school, I don't think it will support video editing as I tried to play Roblox with it on the lowest graphics and it ran poorly
I need something small and cheap for work email at home. I refuse to put work email on my phone as I have been hacked in the past with this email. This should do the trick.
I haven't had a tablet since my iPad 1, so I think I won't be disappointed by this device haha
It is amazing I highly recommend it
Can I use hotspot with this
Of course.
I'm enjoying my tab a9 right now even though it has lower spec than other china tablets with 8-inch screen but I wish it has higher storage and a bit higher chipset so game wont lag but its okay i mostly use it for reading.
Hi, I plan on using the same tablet for reading. How's your experience so far? How long does it last after fully charging?
@elle_00000 its been great so far ive been using it everyday for video editing I use it actually to edit the video in my channel as for reading im using it to read manwha and it last me about 7hours max for editing around 5 hour if streaming around 7 hour also.
Weird think is plus version is worse it lags in everyway games videos touchscreen
Hi, if you don't mind me asking, which would you pick between Tab A 8.4 (2020) and Tab A9 4GB?
Assuming Android updates is not an issue (use case = reading and maybe youtube)
I highly recommend it
Cool I am thinking about buying this one to play Magic Arena, the cheapest one. It is only card games, not so heavy. I will use only for this. I hope it works. I used to play on Mac book but I realized apple is very bad for playing games. Apple keeps doing everything to get your money.
Es ist groß und schön aber es ist nicht schnell😅. Danke schön! ❤
*_I know Samsung DeX is only for higher models of mobiles and tablets but would be great to have it here._*
pens and dex are not going to appear on the most budget model
Got one ui 6 two weeks back
If it had a 1080p OLED display with mat glass, it would have been a killer tablet for reading !
I find cheaper 720p IPS better for reading than 1080p AMOLED.
It would have been the best tablet had it been lighter than iPad mini 6. Anyway My Next Tablet will be Samsung tab A11 (Tab A10, which i presume, will be skipped).
I wouldn't keep the tablet past 4 years when the support ends because of the short-lived battery anyways
No pen support??? Like universal pen ?
No Samsung S Pen, but you can use universal pens
Why i chose a9: 4 year updates, fastest performance, 8gb/128gb futureproof, warranty, camera quality with samsung experienced processing, comfortable size for gaming control buttons, size - my daughter is only 6 and a9+ would have been too big! Was on sale for 161 pound on amazon with 3 year manufacturer extended warranty and uk version. B a r g a i n
Test some games on high graphics ❤
Thanks
I watched this because I wanted small form factor but that awful display resolution turned me off. Instead I bought for 150 euros an Honor X9 Pad and I am super happy with it. It is almost 12 inch display but is slick and I could not get better than this for 150 euros.
This tablet screams 2014...
Wdym
But i got it as a gift when i bought an s24
I just bought and noticed it lagging while playing and having youtube at the same time and i was playing yugioh master duel on it
Frankly I like the Lenovo V700 specs but it doesn't have LTE version.. the A9 with the 8gb ram/128gb version, which should be better than the 4/64 for most 8 inch tablets.
i wanted to watch the video, till i heard his voice.
Samsung galaxy tab a9
I have Samsung galaxy tab A10. After every sofware update it is getting slower and slower.
Samsung haven't even released A10, where did you get one lol?
this looks good but it just can't compete with the Tablet Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE pricetag of 139 euro (cheapest option) lol thanks for the vid though!
