I wanted a small tablet to serve effectively as a larger version of my phone for evening couch/lounging browsing, reading, social media, and regular app use. I’m not a gamer and am not intending to do compute-intensive work on this device so I have no need for a high-powered tablet but I did want a device that performs well (little to no lag when opening, using, or moving between apps).I had considered picking up an iPad Mini because of its easy-to-hold-in-one-hand screen size (8.3″) and Apple’s tablets are generally considered best in class. However, the entry price of $500 (64G version) for a secondary service device is a pretty steep price tag and the impressive power of that device is considerable overkill for my needs. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 was much closer to what I was really looking for. The screen is a bit larger than the Mini at 8.7″ but the resolution is much lower (1340 x 800 px versus the Mini’s whopping 2266 x1488 px Liquid Retina Display which, taking into account screen size puts the Tab 9 at 179 pixels per inch versus the Mini’s super dense 326 ppi). Notwithstanding this rather large difference, the Tab 9’s screen is perfectly acceptable for what I need (reading articles in the NY Times app or watching YouTube videos for example is just fine). If you’re a gamer or intend to do digital art, this is not the tablet for you.Screen color saturation and contrast are quite good and I only needed to dial the screen brightness up to about 40-50% for it to be comfortably bright (indoors; expect to crank it to ~100% outdoors). As you might expect, audio is just okay (loud enough at 70%-80% max) but isn’t exactly going to rattle your rib cage with deep bass or shatter your eardrums with piercing high notes. The Tab 9 includes a headphone jack so I tested a music video with a pair of Apple EarPods and the sound was very good.I haven’t tested the cameras but I understand from my research that they aren’t great. That’s not an issue for me since I rarely ever use cameras on my mobile devices and will likely not do so much with the Tab 9.The Tab 9 is very well constructed with a primarily metal body that looks and feels premium. In the Tab 9’s box is the tablet, a USB-C to USB-C cable, a SIM/SD card slot opener tool, and a user guide (which actually has no useful instructions in any of the provided languages). I was pleasantly surprised to see that a USB-C adapter was separately included in the plastic bag containing the Tab 9 box (the black plug in the pictures). The product description does indicate that this is a “15W Wall Charger Bundle” but sometimes on Amazon products what is described isn’t exactly what is delivered. This (non-Samsung) adapter isn’t going to give you the super-speedy charging of a 30W wall charger but it’s really great that this is included in the package since most of us typically have a pile of USB-A port chargers and they only work with a USB-A to USB-C cable. My Tab 9 shipped with about 50% battery charge. After set up, app installation, and software updates, my tablet dropped to 27% remaining charge. I plugged it in for 1 hour which increased the charge to 79% and another 30 minutes pushed it past 90%. Pretty acceptable.I want to reiterate what several other reviewers indicated about this International Version device. My Tab 9 was for the Middle Eastern market (some of the descriptive text on the sticker on the back of the box appeared to be Arabic). This is NOT a problem. The usual set up welcome screens are in English. When asked for your language, English (US) is one of the many available language options as per the usual set up behavior. The next step (indicate location) showed a list of only Middle Eastern countries. Here, you simply select any one of the countries listed (I chose the UAE even though I’m in the US). Beyond that, the remainder of the set up process is exactly what you experience when setting up a US Google device (even the time will be your local time, however, you may want to change the weather widget default setting from Celsius to Fahrenheit given that most Americans still don’t understand metric :-)In the short time that I’ve used this device, it has proven to be exactly what I wanted. Acceptable screen quality, excellent construction, and snappy performance (cold boot ups are a bit slow but once it’s on, it runs with no discernible lag). At one quarter the price of an iPad Mini, there really isn’t much to complain about here.

I ordered a A7 Lite from another retailer on sale (WM) and it just wasn’t doing the job. After watching a few YouTube videos I decided I didn’t want to spend the extra bucks for the A9. Until I found this. Yes it’s Middle East, and after setting it up I can’t tell. NO ISSUES with set up. I picked UAE and that was it. Price was great, this tablet is faster, has more space, NO COMPLAINTS!! Fit and finish is up to par with my S8+, plays all my favorite games no issues, the A7 lite couldn’t. It just basically works very well. Speakers sound better than what the reviews claim. The face recognition works about 75% of the time. But I have a beard and long hair… My MS Surface gets it everytime…. Not a deal breaker. Anyway, So for a few dollars more you get 100% more storage, 25% more ram, and a better CPU and GPU… Win win in my book!! Fast, nice screen, sounds good, nice build quality… HAPPY

This is an international version tab but I had zero problems setting it up and linking it to my phone, setting new location, using any apps etc… Really basic device, a bit slow w 4gm RAM, but I just need it for basic Youtube and reading needs. Battery is great, sound is great, connects to everything great, and great size.

I love it I love it so much I got it for myself instead of the previous e-reader I was using I won’t name names but I think we can all figure it out. This is a much better fit for me I don’t have to have ads in my face the color is exactly what I wanted it’s fast it charges fast it’s a lightweight it’s great. It was worth the extra money.

I had the choice of a Samsung A7 (the only model available in stores in the US, as of June 2024), which after playing around with, I found to be slow and sluggish… Found this model online from a vendor in UAE, with a price point on par with the A7 in the US, so I decided to buy it…Works very well, almost as fast as a Samsung Tab S6 that it was replacing… It does everything I want it to do, from watch video to streaming content… The setup menu was locked to the Levante (SW Asia) region, but I was still able to set the tablet up in (US) English, and I don’t see any difference in operation or major app differences between US tablets and ones intended for other regions…For a small tablet, the sound isn’t bad, and although a little tinny, can push out sufficient volume. Video quality is fine for HD, although I have not tried playing a 4K movie yet (my guess is there would be distortive framing or sluggishness if I did)…Overall, for the price point, its a handy sized tablet with good functionality… Finding a case is a bit of a pain in the US, but found a good aftermarket option on Amazon…

I chose ‘Jordan’ as my home country but other than that curiosity it has worked well. It auto installed everything from my S24+ and left me little room(just enough) for genshin impact. Just the right size.

When I installed the international version, I chose the language first, and then the region I wanted.After the installation was complete, I chose a different language and region without any problems.This tablet has no problems at all. Good item.

I thought I was ordering the s9+ which has a larger screen but other than that it’s a great tablet

It’s a great tablet for the price, I’ve bought it to store and read my books. YouTube runs smooth and netflix as well even tho resolution is set to auto at 480p. Increasing to 720p or even 1080p does slow down the response rate but an acceptable level.The main reason I left this review was to show that even it’s an international model that only let’s you select middle eastern countries, if you have an android (not sure if it works with iphone) you can set the region to your current on initial setup. Select any region at start screen, then transfer your data from your phone, and the only thing you have to transfer is settings. AND VOILA!!!!!
