BIG DIFFERENCE? - Galaxy Tab A9 Plus vs Tab S9 FE

today I thought it would be interesting to compare the new Galaxy Tab A9 plus and the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe from Samsung to see what the differences are and I think some may be surprised by the results so let's go ahead and get started now these are two of Samsung's more affordable tablets with the A9 plus starting around $240 versus about $449 for the S9 Fe so about $200 more for The Fan Edition but keep in mind the Fe has already been on sale for about $50 off that I've seen possibly more you are going to get better RAM and storage options for the S9 Fe with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage or if you go up to 8 GB of RAM it comes with 256 versus only 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage for the A9 plus but they also have an 8 GB Ram version with 128 GB of storage as well screen sizes are going to be pretty close between these two they also both have 90 HZ refresh rate you've got an 11in display on the A9 plus with 1 1200 by 1920 resolution versus 10.9 in on the S9 Fe with 1440 by 2304 resolution but you are going to notice a big Advantage for the S9 Fe is it's using an IPS LCD display versus TFT LCD display on the A9 plus not sure if you can tell in this video but in person it's not even close on which one looks better the S9 Fe looks brighter more vibrant and it has better contrast with better viewing angles definitely looks like a big step up from the A9 plus so if you want the tablet with better display quality this one's going to be a pretty easy win for the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe now as far as batteries go you do get a slightly larger 8,000 mAh battery in the S9 Fe versus 70/40 mamp hours and the A9 plus so the battery life is going to be somewhat close with 6 hours for the A9 plus 7 hours for the S9 Fe in my battery drain test keep in mind though it's more of an extreme use test so you can get a couple days of mixed usage for both tablets especially if you turn the screen brightness down there's also a lot of variables with battery life but if you want the tablet with better battery life in my testing you'll want to go with the S9 Fe when it comes to the software there's a couple advantages with the S9 Fe such as you have the fingerprint scanner right on the power button which you don't have any fingerprint scanner on the A9 plus surprisingly both tablets have Samsung Dex which is going to make things feel a little closer to a regular PC and just make it a little easier to multitask but it's going to run smoother on the S9 Fe but there's going to be a lot of similarities when it comes to the software on both tablets considering both tablets are on Android 13 one UI 5.1.1 as of this video you'll also have things like the edge panel with shortcuts the notification shade looks pretty similar you've got Google discover or Samsung news left of the home screen and for the most part they're going to look and feel pretty similar when using both tablets you also have the taskbar down at the bottom which is going to make it easier to switch between apps one big Advantage for the S9 Fe is you've got the S Pen included which is great for drawing taking notes or just moving around the software so depending on what you need to do with your tablet I feel like the S Pen could make some people lean towards the S9 Fe now probably the biggest difference between these two is going to be the performance you've got a Snapdragon 695 with the A9 Plus versus exos 1380 with the S9 Fe and just a quick look at the geekbench scores you'll see the S9 Fe definitely has the better performance performance it's got about double the multicore score and almost triple the GPU scores I know sometimes these scores don't tell the whole story but the S9 Fe with that extra horsepower is definitely going to help in multitasking or when you're running more intense things like Samsung decks the S9 Fe is also going to play games a little smoother with better graphics and frame rates both of these did fine when playing games like pubg mobile and Asphalt 9 and they should have plenty of power to do most basic things but if you want the tablet with better performance the S9 Fe is going to win this one pretty easily one advantage for the A9 plus is you still have a headphone jack where you don't get one with the S9 Fe interesting thing is you have two speakers on each side for the A9 Plus versus only one speaker on each side for the S9 Fe both sound pretty good overall but I feel like the A9 plus actually might be a tad louder overall here's a quick sample of each just to give you an idea of what they sound like you too long it hurts to watch your blue eyes Fade to gr as you fade away but known you to long it hurts to watch your blue eyes F to great as you fade away as you [Music] fade you you fade away when it comes to the cameras you've got an 8 megap wide angle on the back of the S9 Fe 12 megapixel Ultra wide on the front versus 8 megapix on the back for the A9 plus 5 megapix on the front they're not really going to be the best best cameras out there but it doesn't take long to realize that the cameras on the S9 Fe are definitely a little better quality here's a quick sample of V just to give you an idea of what to expect so if you're doing Zoom meetings or other video conference calls you'll probably want to go with the S9 Fe so as you can see there are a few things that make the S9 Fe a little better option but if you don't need the s pin or the extra power you get with the S9 Fe I could see the tab A9 plus be a good option for a lot of people if you like phone and tablet comparisons I'm currently working on too many to count right now so hopefully they're helping you out and you'll definitely want to keep an eye out for those upcoming videos just [Music] he so if you've made it this far into the video you
