Anyone pre-ordered Tab S9 series? lets share which model is your choice.

I go for S9 (12+256) wifi

slower than Ipad

worse than Ipad

more expansive than Ipad

less Apps than Ipad

shorter support than Ipad



yet. you buy Samsung Android Tablet.

Ipad Pro M2 start 3899

🙈

not comparable, i need multi-tasking and use office365 apps only. most importantly, i dont own any apple device, the ecosystem not suite me. RM3400 I already included S pen+keyboard. Apple not even include keyboard and apple pen.

The price is so extreme. If I were you I will wait for price drop and it wouldn't for long I think.

Microsoft 365 on Ipad ( Official Microsoft Channel )



Ipad Pro M2 use the same chip on Macbook
and overall faster than 8Gen2



FYI.... i never heard any ipad user mention Apple Ecosystem....

Keyboard can use logi
accessories tons of 3rd Party.

Ipad Apps, work Perfectly on Ipad..

what u expect?

what other apple product you need to work perfectly with Ipad?

iPHONE??
Vision pro?
Macbook??

only the Apple Pencil i can think of.. but that is the BEST. Far Best Touchscreen pencil available on this planet.

i never buy APPLE product except Ipad
Ipad is just complete different from Apple line of product.

All Apple product are overpriced Luxury. Triple Price, for same performance...
BUT ONLY IPAD is different.....

Ipad Pro m2 even smoke Tab S9 Ultra.

not to mention its crazy resell value.

I would definitely go for iPad too, the only apple product I am using.

My iPad air gen2 still functioning for basic usage
Only issue is storage 16gb is way too small

I think unless you are using Apple devices, chances are you wont waste anytime relearning how to do things with Apple devices. Still remember how it took me 10minutes to figure out that I must goto photo album to attach picture to email when my boss asked to me to help him send an email back then.

iPad is definitely best bang for buck for performance since iPad2 but Android tablet has come a long way. I would say performance advantage is not a major consideration if all you do is office work without any media encoding/processing or gaming. You can also get desktop like experience with Samsung Dex. It basically boils down to your own preference in the end of the day.

Tablet like Xiaomi Pad 6 at 1299
still a very good buy for me, i would choose this over ipad

for me, really no reason to go samsung tab at all...


samsung, not a luxury brand
has almost no advantage over other android tablet
cant match ipad offering...

Like I said, depends on your preference. Galaxy Tab would have the latest SoC, 2k AMOLED, SPen, Dex, etc.

Not sure about the luxury. I dont see brands at all. Brands is totally pointless when it comes to tech. It is all about features.

Yes, I do reconize that Apple's Ipad ecosystem is better than android's but this really isnt the place to argue about that
PS: Spen is powered by the same technology as Wacom drawing tablet, no need to charge it even, personally I prefer it

There are some advantages to Samsung such as DeX or some just prefer the wider aspect ratio
or some just prefer android (read: can sideload apps)

Also, pricing becomes a bigger factor if you look at education store prices, its the reason I went with samsung since its far cheaper in edu store

Honestly do also appreciate what Samsung is doing in the tablet market, they are basically the one that keeps pushing android tablets forward with bringing over apps like LumaFusion to Android

anyways JY99 if you aren't aware of it, look into SoftMaker Office suite, personally I think it's far better than MS Official Apps for use on the tablet

I think you can say Samsung dominance also made them too laid back. I think the S Pen still has very lousy support to date. Apple has done so much with the Pencil for example. Personally I think Samsung is too afraid to let other Android manufacturers get their hands on SPen. I think if Chinese manufacturers get access to SPen, there might be more development on this extension than what we are having now.

Just ordered Tab s9+ , looking for book cover, Non keyboard type. Can't find any in Samsung online store or shopee.

Will use it mostly for browsing/videos , casual stuff. 1st time tablet user here

no keyboard available (at the time of preorder).
looking forward for the smartbook cover, still no price yet.

NO, im not gonna use ipad. i can get free ipad from maxis last time.
12.4inch 16:10 screen is about 90% of B5 paper size, nice for reading.

Keyboard pricing is ridiculous anyway.

IIRC S9+ keyboard is 8xx and S9 ultra keyboard is 1xxx (from what I seen in EPP). Not surprised since S6 last time also RM600 for keyboard. In the end, I managed to exchange it foc using 2500 samsung points last year. Lpve the stand but not the keyboard. It sucks because it dent the contact point on the tablet so bad it refused to connect half of the time.

keyboard price for S9+ is RM999.
not gonna use keyboard from samsung.
when using dex, i still can use my logi wireless KB+M.

my 512GB microsd V30 is otw.
65W charger with 100W usb C cable arrived.
USB-C to 3.5mm jack arrived.

the price of ipad pro m2 12.9 512GB + pencil is way higher than S9+

yeah, some say ipad is better in everyway than android tablet but people do have their own preferences.

The thing is that troublesome to bring keyboard mouse. Plus the cover included a solid stand. Just hate the pricing.

That's why if buy also buy S9 Ultra because it came with the keyboard. Imagine if you managed to sell that for 800, you are basically buying the bigger tablet for about the same price as S9+.

depend on usage.
im not using the tablet to do work (as in typing, office work etc).
my logi KB+M set that i have is a small size (actually use it for laptop last time).

S9 Ultra is too big for my usage.
Large screen is good but if it drop to my face...
