If you’ve been eyeing a tablet that can handle your everyday needs without blowing your budget, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is now $399.99 (down from $599.99)—that's a $200 discount and its lowest price ever, according to price-trackers. Available in four colors (silver, gray, mint, and lavender), this tablet has an IP68 rating, making it a worry-free companion for poolside browsing or kitchen countertop use without fear of spills. Its 12.4-inch LCD screen is big, bright, and colorful enough for watching your favorite shows or scrolling through TikTok (though it reportedly struggles under direct sunlight). Additionally, it’s not an OLED panel, so you won’t get those deep, inky blacks, but unless you’re super picky about display quality, it’s more than good for most everyday tasks.
The Tab S9 FE+ runs on Android 13 with Samsung's One UI, offering convenient features like taking calls or responding to texts when paired with a Samsung phone. Powered by the Exynos 1380 processor and 8GB of RAM, it handles everyday tasks like web browsing, emails, video streaming, casual gaming, and document editing without much trouble. However, as noted in this PCMag review, performance can falter slightly with apps taking longer to load and animations stuttering when several applications run simultaneously. On the bright side, it comes with a decent amount of internal storage at 128GB, which can be expanded up to 1TB using a microSD card—giving you plenty of space for storing all your favorite apps, photos, documents, or downloading shows for offline viewing without worrying about running out of space.
The tablet’s two 8MP rear cameras deliver average results, with colors leaning toward oversaturation, a common trait in Samsung devices. That said, the 12MP front-facing camera reportedly performs better, offering sharper and more detailed images. Additionally, the Tab S9 FE+ comes with a stylus or the S Pen included right in the box, adding an extra layer of functionality at no extra cost. Battery life is respectable, with the 10,090mAh capacity lasting just over seven hours of use. Note that no charger is included in the box, so you’ll need to use your own or purchase one separately.
