Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S9 series along with its latest foldables in July and now we welcome their most premium representative to our office. For the second generation in a row, the largest tablet in the company’s lineup is the Ultra, but its advantages go beyond size.
The 14.6-inch tablet is the best the company has to offer, and we’ll do our best to review it to determine if it’s worth the $1,200 starting price.
The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is huge at 32.6cm wide and 20.8cm tall. It’s designed with landscape use in mind, so the dual camera notch is located along one of the long sides. Taking it out of the box we found that the tablet isn’t easy to hold if you don’t have anything to rest it on: it’s heavy and unbalanced for one hand with its 732-gram body, and two hands mean you can’t reach most of the display.
Our retail box had a USB-C to USB-C charging cable and an S Pen. The stylus is a great addition because the S9 Ultra’s massive canvas really allows your creativity to flourish.
We understand that some artists prefer the whiteboard to rest on the table, but in virtually any other scenario the tablet needs support.
Compared to the Tab S8 Ultra, the top-of-the-line S9 features a brighter display, IP68 water and dust resistance, variable refresh rate and, of course, Qualcomm’s latest chipset.
There are also four AKG tuned speakers, grouped in two on either side – all of these are pretty intriguing specs worthy of detailed inspection.
Samsung has made a tablet that aims to provide a suitable answer to Apple’s iPad Pro 12.9. The review is already underway and once completed we will know if it went well. Stay tuned!
