For many, tablets are the perfect compromise between a phone and a laptop. They offer convenience, useful apps and processing power in a package that’s sized “just right” — portable enough to tote around without hassle, but large enough to take advantage of features like a bigger display screen. And in a very crowded tablet market, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 stands out as a great value with its 10.9-inch screen, sleek profile, durability and substantial battery life.
And now, thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday sale, you can get it at its best value ever. Whether you’re seeking your first tablet or upgrading to a more powerful model, the Galaxy Tab should be high on your list.

The S9 possesses plenty of features you won’t find in other tablets in the same price range. Let’s start with the design of the tablet itself. Its thin form factor and silver backing present a classy exterior, and with an IP68 rating, it’s resistant to both dust and water (a rarity among tablets), making it a reliable companion wherever you go, even if it’s to the pool or beach. Another key feature is the included S Pen stylus, which opens the tablet up to creative uses such as scribbling notes, drawing artwork, signing documents and precise photo editing. It’s a great value-add since most other tablets require you to purchase a separate pen if you want one.
The Samsung Galaxy tablet also boasts an impressive Exynos 1380 processor that can take on multitasking without a hitch; the tablet can handle three apps side-by-side via its multi-window feature. Its quick-charging 8000mAh battery can last up to 18 hours on a single charge, placing it among the upper echelon of tablets in this price class. While the Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with 256GB of storage space, you can easily increase it by up to a robust 1TB with the supplied microSD card port. You can also turn the S9 into a full-fledged mini-desktop with an optional detachable keyboard, complete with a Windows-style desktop using Samsung’s DeX mode.
With an Android operating system, this latest Samsung Galaxy tablet has access to plenty of useful apps. Unlike many other tablets, the S9 also sports powerful and clear speakers — a definite plus in environments where a little more volume is required — and a fingerprint sensor provides extra security.
We’re not the only ones impressed by the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. Other reviewers and users have sung its praises, summing it up as a well-rounded and “superb” tablet that incorporates the features of pricier tablets at nearly half the price (especially given the discount).
Put it all together and you get a lot of performance and functionality at a price point that compares favorably with other high-quality tablets like the Apple iPad Air. Our advice: Don’t miss out on a rock-bottom price for this device, and you won’t miss out on all the advantages it has over other tablets.
