Review: Galaxy Gem! - The Galaxy Tab A9 is the first tablet that
I have purchased in just over a DECADE; and it's entirely worth
the money! The performance is what you would expect for a lower
end device, but that doesn't mean that the performance isn't
good, quite the opposite actually. I use the tablet for note
taking (Samsung Notes is the only app you need!), watching
Netflix & Prime Video. I also play a variety of casual games
(I've been a Gamer for over 30 years and I would never use a
mobile device as my main console, so for more graphically
intensive games I use my home console), and the A9 handles that
beautifully! I play Stardew Valley, Cat Quest II, Skul: The Hero
Slayer, Good Pizza, Great Pizza & the list goes on, lol! I've
played these games using the on-screen controls, as well as
connecting my Xbox Series X/S controller too, and both work very
well. I also use the A9 for digital colouring and it is a joy to
use for this purpose. The screen resolution is great for me, but
it must be noted that I have terrible eyesight, so most things
unless completely horrible will look good to me. The A9 is very
easy to use and even though I hadn't had a tablet in such a long
time, there was no learning curve for me. I also have an S21 FE
5G, so that could contribute to how easy I found it to use this
device. The A9 isn't the fastest tablet, but I knew that going
in, and because of how I use it, that doesn't bother me. If
you're looking for a faster tablet then I'd recommend spending
the extra money, and buying the Tab A9+. The speed is sufficient
for what you'll use it for, so don't let that worry you. The
touchscreen is responsive enough, with only the occasional lag
and that usually comes with stylus use, as the styli are impacted
by things that might be on the screen or stylus itself, so
keeping both clean is essential. This is a fantastic little
device and I'm even happier because I was able to get it on sale.
I'll be buying the Tab A9+ as well, because I do want a larger
display, but this is a wonderful reintroduction to the world of
tablet's and I do not regret my purchase at all.
Review: Review: Solid Tablet That Punches Above Its Weight - I’ll
be real—I was debating between this and a much more expensive
iPad, but I’m glad I went with the A9+. I mainly needed something
for watching YouTube in bed, browsing the web, and the occasional
Zoom call, and it handles all of that perfectly. The first thing
I noticed was the screen. For a "budget" tablet, the 90Hz refresh
rate makes a massive difference. Everything just feels smooth
when you’re scrolling through apps; it doesn't have that annoying
lag or "ghosting" my old tablet had. Rating: 5/5 Stars -
Honestly, better than I expected for the price I’ll be real—I was
debating between this and a much more expensive iPad, but I’m
glad I went with the A9+. I mainly needed something for watching
YouTube in bed, browsing the web, and the occasional Zoom call,
and it handles all of that perfectly. The first thing I noticed
was the screen. For a "budget" tablet, the 90Hz refresh rate
makes a massive difference. Everything just feels smooth when
you’re scrolling through apps; it doesn't have that annoying lag
or "ghosting" my old tablet had. The Pros: The Speakers: Usually,
tablet speakers sound tiny and tinny, but these are actually loud
and clear. It’s got four of them, so the sound follows you even
if you're holding it in landscape mode. Design: The Graphite
finish looks really sleek. It’s thin and has a bit of weight to
it that makes it feel expensive. Battery: I’ve been getting a
solid couple of days of casual use out of a single charge. The
Cons (just being honest): The Storage: 64GB fills up fast if you
download movies for a flight. Do yourself a favor and buy a cheap
microSD card at the same time—the fact that you can actually
expand the storage is a huge plus. No Wall Plug: It comes with
the cable but no actual power brick. Luckily I have a million of
them around the house, but just a heads up if you don't. Bottom
Line: If you're looking for a "Pro" device to do heavy video
editing, this probably isn't it. But if you want a reliable,
snappy tablet for media and everyday stuff, you really can’t beat
this for the money. Definitely worth it.
