Besides the Galaxy Z series, Samsung also announced its new Galaxy Tab S9 series, a premium product portfolio that redefines the tablet landscape and sets new standards for immersive viewing and creative freedom. All three models (Galaxy Tab S9, S9+, and S9 Ultra) feature a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor for Galaxy, an IP68 rating, and also an in-box IP68-rated S Pen.
The differences across all three models are surprisingly quite minimal! The Galaxy Tab S9 has an 11-inch screen, the S9+ has a 12.4-inch screen, and the S9 Ultra has a 14.6-inch screen.
The Galaxy Tab S9 series comes with spacious audio delivered through 20% larger quad speakers with sound by AKG speaker system and Dolby Atmos immersive sound. Both the tablet and S Pen are now IP68 rated for water and dust resistance, opening up more possibilities for where users can capture and express their ideas. The S Pen can also write in search bars, browsers, and app stores, and new bidirectional charging ensures it gets power no matter which way it faces when in its cradle. Users can upgrade to the S Pen Creator Edition for an even more premium experience. The S Pen Creator Edition is designed with textured material for a comfortable grip and a wider tilt angle that makes creating more intuitive.
Additionally, Samsung also offers certain pro-level apps available exclusively on the Galaxy Tab S9 series:
- Fan-favorite GoodNotes offers a new note-taking and journaling experience on Android for the first time, launching exclusively for Galaxy tablet users. Plus, notes created in GoodNotes on all platforms can easily be shared and co-edited simultaneously.
- The pro-level LumaFusion video editing app makes work easy when creating sharable content. Images and videos — even large files — taken on your Galaxy smartphone camera can be easily shared with the Galaxy Tab S9 series with Quick Share. LumaFusion takes full advantage of Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra’s expansive screen to ensure editing videos is precise.
- Clip Studio Paint has been transformed into a streamlined tablet interface for drawing, painting, and more. Meanwhile, ArcSite empowers designers and professionals by transforming their creative vision into meticulously crafted 2D CAD blueprints, comprehensive site plans, and accurate estimates. Through close collaboration with Google to optimize large-screen experiences, users can benefit from partner apps to easily complete tasks and turn ideas into reality on the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
