The Galaxy Tab S9 has a single camera on the back, while the S9+ and S9 Ultra have a dual-camera setup on the back. All three models are IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, including the S Pen that came in the box too. The S Pen can be charged by placing it on a dedicated slot next to the camera or below the camera, depending on which orientation you are in, just like the previous generation.
