Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Tab S9 series, its latest lineup of premium tablets and the successor to last year’s S8 series. There are a total of three tablets, offered with Wi-Fi and 5G variants, that have very similar specs but with different screen sizes.
The lineup sports 120Hz 16:10 AMOLED displays with the standard model getting an 11-inch screen while the Tab S9 Plus gets a 12.4-inch panel and the top-tier S9 Ultra gets an even bigger 14.6-inch display. For the battery capacity, it ranges from 8,400mAh, 10,090mAh, and 11,300mAh respectively, and while its charging speed was not stated, a comment by a Samsung representative leads us to believe that it is likely 45W.
Under the hood, all three models run on the custom Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, the same SoC found in the Galaxy S23 smartphones. While all the tablets get a microSD card slot for storage expansion, the configurations offered differ depending on the model; the vanilla Tab S9 can get up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage while the max is 12GB+512GB for the S9 Plus and 16GB+1TB for the S9 Ultra.
Each tablet gets a 13MP main camera on the back but there is an additional 8MP ultra-wide reserved for the S9 Plus and Ultra. Up front, there is a standard 12MP ultra-wide lens for all three but the S9 Ultra gets an extra 12MP selfie shooter.
Of course, the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup also comes with an S Pen and for protection, both the pen and tablet are rated at IP68 for dust and water resistance. Additionally, Samsung equipped the tablets with HDR10+ support as well as Dolby Atmos compatibility for the quad speakers.
The Galaxy Tab S9 series will be available in Malaysia starting from 18 August 2023. For the pricing, the standard model starts from RM3,699 for the base configuration, the Plus has a starting price of RM4,599, and the Ultra starts from RM5,999.
