Samsung says, 'The Galaxy Tab S9 series is sleeker than its predecessor, but it packs a punch.' According to Samsung, by adopting Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, the Galaxy Tab S9 series can handle work that requires high specifications such as live distribution, game play, and video editing. In addition, it has high heat dissipation performance, and it appeals that it can maintain excellent performance even after long use.
The Galaxy Tab S9 series is the first Galaxy Tab S to acquire 'IP68 grade' dustproof and waterproof performance. In addition to the Galaxy Tab S9 series itself, the stylus pen that comes with the Galaxy S Pen is also IP68 certified. TM Roh, president and head of mobile experience business at Samsung, said, 'There is currently no device on the market like the Galaxy Tab S9. The Galaxy Tab S9 is a disruptive change for tablet PCs. It's the first product that fully delivers the experience users love most on their tablet PCs.'
The Galaxy Tab S9 series will be available for pre-order in select markets from July 26th and will be available for general sale from August 11th. The price was not disclosed at the time of article creation.
It is said that the actual machine of the Galaxy Tab S9 series has already been exhibited at the venue of Galaxy Unpacked, and various media have released hands-on reviews.
9To5Google , which handles Google-related news, said, ``The best Android tablet has been updated (by the Galaxy Tab S9 series).The Android tablet has made a kind of revival,'' and highly appreciates the Galaxy Tab S9 series. However, ``The Galaxy Tab S9 series has many great things, but it's not breaking new ground,'' he said, saying that although there are no notable new features, it has evolved steadily from the previous model.
GIZMODE , an IT news site, evaluated that 'Galaxy Tab S9 series is one of the few tablet products that can compete with Apple's iPad, which dominates the market for high-end tablet PCs.' Furthermore, the 14.6-inch display of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra was very large, and it felt more like a notebook PC than a tablet. You can also treat the Galaxy Tab S9 series like a notebook PC by attaching a cover with a keyboard that is actually provided for the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
The IT news site The Verge said, ``There is no doubt that the Galaxy Tab S9 series has excellent performance and a high-performance display, but we expected it to evolve more than its predecessor.'' says. Regarding the screen's aspect ratio of 16:10, he said, ``It works best in landscape, but it's harder to handle than iPad and OnePlus Pad when used in portrait.''
