Transcript of Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 | Still Worth It in 2025? 🤔📱

Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 still the king of  tablets in 2024? Or has it been dethroned by   the new contenders? The Galaxy Tab S9 has been  one of the major players in the premium Android   tablet space. Don't miss this video as today  we are taking a deep dive into its features   and performance. And at the end of the video, we  will be answering the burning question, is this   still worth it in 2024? My name is Prithwiraj and  I create videos on productivity, tech, and life. Kicking things off with its design, the Galaxy  Tab S9 maintains Samsung's reputation for making   high-quality, premium-feeling devices.  The aluminium chassis and the IP68 rating   gives it a more durable, yet a sleek aesthetic.  Whether you are using it at home or on the go,   the build quality feels top-notch. On the top, we have the speaker grills.   And on the right side, we have the power  button as well as the volume buttons. Also,   there is a microSD card slot as well. Man, this is really crucial for storage   if you want to use this as your primary  computer. On the left side, we have the   magnetic pins for connecting accessories such  as a keyboard. This way, you will be able   to use it as a fully-fledged computer. More on that later. And at the bottom,   we again have the speaker grills and the  USB Type-C port of course. At the back,   we have the camera setup as well as a  space for holding your S Pen magnetically.  And since this is Samsung, we of course get the S  Pen right outside the box. I really love Samsung   for this aspect. We don't have to buy the stylus  additionally because of this helpful addition.  And coming to the front side, we have the front  camera on the horizontal bezel. And to top it off,   the Galaxy Tab S9 features an under-display  fingerprint scanner. Samsung gives us the option   to choose like we can add both fingerprint  as well as face unlock on this device.  But the real standout thing is, it features an  11-inch HDR10+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with   a resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels and that  too with a refresh rate of 120Hz. In short,   the display is simply amazing. The  colours are vivid, the blacks are deep,   the brightness is perfect for both  indoor as well as outdoor usage.  This is not just a tablet for productivity.  It's perfect for media consumption too. When   it comes to streaming content on Netflix  or YouTube, the display simply shines.  It has rich contrast and excellent colour  accuracy. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is a fantastic   choice for binge-watching your favourite TV shows  and movies. With these slim bezels, it actually   feels like you're holding the screen itself. It gives you that immersive viewing experience.   But the media experience isn't complete  without great audio, right? It features   a quad speaker setup tuned by AKG and offers us  clear and rich sound. I'm sort of an audio nerd   myself and I must say, I really like the  audio experience offered by this device.  The sound had the warmth I'm looking for and  it sounded full to be honest. Whether you're   listening to dialogues in movies or catching every  note on your music, the audio quality is super   immersive. The sound is loud and crisp and offers  surprisingly good amount of bass I must say.  Plus, the tablet supports Dolby Atmos so  you can get a much more immersive sound   experience even without headphones.  And speaking of headphones, sadly,   we don't have a headphone jack on this device.  But everything combined, we get a really nice   video as well as audio experience on this device. Simply buy this tablet and you can start binge   watching your favourite content instantly.  And also we are very close to hitting 100k   subscribers so it would mean the world to me if  you could consider hitting that subscribe button.   Moving on to the business end of this tablet. This is where the tablet truly shines. The Galaxy   Tab S9 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen  2 chipset and paired with either 8 GB or 12 GB   RAM depending on which variant you buy. This  tablet will handle anything you throw at it.  We have two storage options as well, 128  GB and 256 GB. And not to forget that we   have expandable storage on this device. You can  simply add a 1TB microSD card if you wanted to.  Software-wise, it's running on a skinned version  of Android 14 which is known as the One UI. Here's   the benchmark scores on Geekbench in case you are  interested into stuff like that. As you can see,   it performed really really well. For the gaming aspect, the Tab S9   is fantastic. It easily handles high-performing  games like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile,   BGMI and even Asphalt on high settings all without  a hitch. The combination of the 120Hz refresh rate   and the powerful GPU gives us a very smooth  gameplay even during intense action scenes.  Samsung's Game Booster helps you optimise your  device for gaming, ensuring minimal background   interference and thus enhancing your overall  performance. Hence, you won't really be facing any   frame drops while gaming. And since it can handle  gaming, it can handle video editing as well.  When it comes to video editing, the Tab S9  doesn't disappoint either. Apps like Premiere   Rush and VN Video ran smoothly on this device.  You can even edit 4K videos if you wanted to.  The Snapdragon chipset all the complex tasks very  efficiently. This makes it a great companion for   content creators who need a tablet capable enough  for doing quick and high-quality edits on the go.   Plus, the AMOLED display means that you're editing  your videos with excellent colour accuracy.  And you can even get true Desktop experience  on the Tab S9. For multitasking, the Galaxy Tab   S9 has this thing called Samsung Dex,  a feature that turns your tablet into   a Desktop-like interface. This is where the  Tab S9 truly excels as a productivity device.  You can open multiple windows, track  and drop content between apps, and even   connect an external keyboard and a mouse. Whether  you're responding to emails, editing documents,   or watching a YouTube tutorial, Samsung Dex really  makes it easy to multitask efficiently. And even   without using Samsung Dex, the multitasking  experience on the Tab S9 feels seamless.  Thanks to the split-screen and the pop-up  view features, you can run three apps   side-by-side. As usual, Samsung offers us the  Edge panel for quick access to your favourite   apps. So we can do something like this. For example, you could open up your Notes   app on one side, your browser on the other,  and Spotify playing music in the floating   window. Everything without missing a beat.  Now let's talk about the camera for a bit.  It features a 13-megapixel back camera and a  12-megapixel selfie camera. Here's a sample of   the front camera. So I'm not in my usual setup. I'm basically at my parent's place. But here is   the front camera sample of the Galaxy Tab  S9. But since this is a low-light test,   I can see a few grains in the corners  basically where the things are more darker.  But nevertheless, you're not gonna face any  issues attending calls and meetings and stuff   like that. It'll work out just fine.  Now let's talk about the battery life.  It features an 8400mAh battery.  The Tab S9 will easily last you   a full day of moderate usage. Whether you're  streaming Netflix, gaming, or just working,   it has enough juice to get you through the day. If you're pushing it hard with video editing or   gaming, you might have to recharge at the  evening. But overall, it's very reliable.   And when it's time to charge, the USB  Type-C supports 45W fast charging.  Plus, the Type-C port allows you to connect  external drives, monitors, or even cameras,   making it a versatile hub for both work and play.  Although we don't get the charger out of the box,   but I can still forgive Samsung as they gave  us the S Pen instead. And we all know, the   stylus is often cost more than the power adapter. So it's a smart choice, I must say. And speaking   of the S Pen, the S Pen is definitely one  of the most defining features of the Tab   S9 as this comes included inside the box. It's  not just a stylus, it's a tool that transforms   your tablet into a truly productive machine. The S Pen is pressure sensitive with near   zero latency, making it feel as if you're  writing on real paper. For note-taking,   the S Pen works flawlessly with apps like  Notewise, Nebo, and of course, Samsung   Notes. And it's great for digital art as well. I didn't face any issues with palm rejection   or the latency. Everything was working great  and it felt super smooth taking notes using   the S Pen. So whether you're taking a detailed  lecture notes or sketching random diagrams, the   experience will be super smooth and responsive. The default notes app on this device, which is   Samsung Notes, is simply insane. I previously  created multiple videos on Samsung Notes. It's   simply one amazing notes app, I must say. In Samsung Notes, you can easily convert   handwritten notes into text, making it even  more versatile for students and professionals   alike. I've loaded up my daily planner  template on Samsung Notes. This really   helps me take control and manage my entire life. Super effective if you want to get more stuff done   and stay productive all the time. And because  of the smooth split screen multitasking,   you can very easily juggle between your notes  app and your PDFs, making this an ideal device   for you specifically if you're a student. With  the S Pen, you can annotate PDFs directly inside   Samsung Notes and other third-party apps. And also, the third-party notes app like   Touch Notes, Notewise, and others really  work great on this device for taking notes.   This is a game changer for anyone who deals with  contracts, reports, or school assignments. Also,   I forgot to mention, I again had an excellent  time editing photos on Lightroom using the S Pen.  Here's a screenshot of the current pricing of  the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 on Amazon India as   well as Amazon US. Now let us answer the burning  question. Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 still worth   it in 2024? And I must say, yes, it surely is. For media consumption, gaming, and video editing,   this tablet is a powerhouse. The Dynamic AMOLED  2X display and the Dolby Atmos-enhanced speakers   makes it one of the best devices for watching  movies or playing games. And the Snapdragon 8   Gen 2 keeps it performing at the flagship level. This ensures that you'll get a smooth performance   for years to come. So for those people looking for  a device that balances entertainment, creativity,   and productivity, the Galaxy Tab S9 is absolutely  worth your buy. The S Pen adds incredible value,   and the multitasking feature makes  it great for professionals on the go.  And all in all, I must say, the Tab S9 is a great  investment.
