Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S9 series two weeks ago and the line-up has seen three tablets: vanilla, Plus and Ultra. Now, the company is preparing for the FE (Fan Edition) branch, which should offer better value for money.
A Roland Quandt leak on Twitter.com suggests that the less powerful Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE will cost INR 63,000 in India, which is equivalent to $763. For comparison, the base price of the Galaxy Tab S9 is $799.
The Indian price is for a 6/128GB storage variant without LTE, which means that the cost will increase from then on.

We have to remember that Indian customers normally pay much more for Samsung tablets than Americans. The Korean manufacturer has the world’s largest smartphone factory in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, but slates are still mostly built in Vietnam, from where they are shipped worldwide.
The leaked price adjustment would bring the Galaxy Tab S9 FE to around $600, which is still far more than the $529 cost of the previous Fan Edition tablet, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE FCC Certified Global Variant
The Galaxy S9 FE has been certified at the FCC with an EP-TA800 charger, meaning the new slate will support 25W fast charging. Leaked renders have also revealed that this tablet will share the same height and width as the regular Galaxy Tab S9 but will have a thicker profile, likely making room for a bigger battery.
The main difference between the flagships and the FE variants will come from the Exynos 1380 chipset, which is less powerful, but should still perform well for most tasks.
