Samsung introduced its new Galaxy Tab S9 Series at Samsung Unpacked, a premium line of tablets that boast improved performance, and a first-ever IP68 rating for both a Galaxy Tab model and the S Pen that comes in the box.
The line consists of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, Tab S9+, and Tab S9, each of which comes with a Dynamic AMOLED 2x display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor. The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra has a 14.6-inch screen while all three models boast HDR10+ and dynamic refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz, along with Eye Comfort to reduce eye strain by more than 70% with low blue light and a 16:10 aspect ratio with Vision Booster technology that automatically detects bright lighting conditions and adapts to help keep the display vivid.
With 20% larger quad speakers, an AKG speaker system, and Dolby Atmos immersive sound, there’s also custom sound options for gaming, listening to music, and more. Use the Smart Book Cover and adjust to either portrait or landscape orientation for hands-free viewing.
The flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor is the same mobile processor that is in Samsung’s latest smartphones. Compared to the Galaxy Tab S8 Series, CPU micro architecture is boosted by 34% and GPU boosted by approximately 41%. The Galaxy Tab S9+ and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra base storage is also doubled to 256GB.
With an internal vapour chamber engineered for the high-intensity demands of a tablet, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series is the most heat-efficient Galaxy Tab lineup yet as well. The new two-way heat dissipation is designed to enable better performance over a longer usage period.
Each device in the premium Galaxy Tab S9 Series comes with the Galaxy S Pen that offers a pen-on-paper-like experience, and both the tablet and the S Pen are IP68 rated for water and dust resistance. The pen can write in search bars, browsers, and app stores. It also has a new bidirectional charging capability, which allows you to recharge the pen when it is facing either direction in the cradle. You can upgrade to the S Pen Creator Edition for a more comfortable grip with textured material, a wider tilt angle, and two types of pen-tips: a hard type for natural drawing and a soft type for paper-like writing.
The Galaxy Tab S9 Series’ immersive display features Multi Window for displaying up to three apps in adjustable windows, and Pop-Up View to view floating windows, while still showing the full home screen. The Galaxy Tab S9 Series’ Book Cover Keyboard helps in simulating a desktop experience with adjustable angles and a backlit keypad. Plus, with DeX Mode, which has an easy-to-follow cursor, flexible window resizing and positioning, and Second Screen capabilities, you can mirror or extend their PC screen to the tablet.
GoodNotes, launching exclusively for Galaxy tablet users on Android for the first time, offers a new notetaking and journaling experience with simultaneous co-editing. In a Google Meet call, collaboration is made easier by allowing for simultaneous screenshare features and co-editing capabilities on live Samsung Notes documents. The pro-level LumaFusion video editing app also helps to make it easy to create share-worthy content. You can also share images and videos — even large files — taken on your Galaxy smartphone camera to the Galaxy Tab S9 Series with Quick Share. Clip Studio Paint is streamlined to a new tablet interface for drawing, painting and more, and designers can transform ideas into a blueprint with either Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Express.
You can control a compatible Galaxy smartphone with a Galaxy Tab S9 touchscreen using Multi Control, copying, pasting or dragging text and images directly among a Galaxy tablet, laptop and smartphone.
The Galaxy Tab S9 Series features the same Galaxy design as the flagship Galaxy S Series smartphones, such as the same camera layout. Measuring as thin as 5.5mm for Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series is lightweight and slim, but also durable thanks to a body reinforced with Armor Aluminium. The new Outdoor Cover offers even more protection.
The premium Galaxy Tab S9 Series experience is protected and supported by four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades and by five years of security updates helping to extend the product lifecycle.
The Galaxy Tab S9 Series is available for pre-order in Canada starting July 26, 2023, and for purchase starting August 11, 2023, in Beige and Graphite at Samsung.ca, Samsung Experience Stores and major retailer partners across Canada. The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra comes in 256GB ($1,600), 512GB ($1,750), or 1TB ($2,150) capacities; the Galaxy Tab S9+ in 256GB ($1,350) and 512GB ($1,500) capacities; and the Galaxy Tab S9 in 128GB ($1,100) and 256GB ($1,250) capacities.
