Depending on your needs and usage of the tab. If you have the extra $$ and need 5g to use another extra esim go for it.

Just now I went to see the tab .. but I found the s9 (smallest) display is not as good as 9+ or 9 ultra ... the display a bit yellowish, color not so crispy. Do you have same feel?

Previously owned Tab S8 Ultra but I traded-in as I find it too large for me to use as a tablet.

The Tab S9 I gotten on this Tuesday (8th Aug) is manufactured in Vietnam.
I can't speak for the display color quality though, as I don't have S9+/S9U to compare. But personally, I find it very good for media/video consumption & speakers sound really good.  thumbsup.gif

Why you didnt pick 9+? I feel like 9+ size is tab standard size .. but s9 is a bit long also.

Oh you get 5G. What you going to do with 5G?

If let say I took wifi version and use hotspot from samsung s23u, not sure if the hotspot will drain my battery fast?

Thanks for sharing. eSIM is good to have. Love to know that.

Ordered mine on 4/8, received it on 10
Yet to inbox it, waiting for a friend to install the screen protector for me
Kinda regret I didn't go for the 5g version, but paying that much more for something I can do with my phone simply doesn't make sense
Anyway, still debating on what case to go for
Either 3rd party book cover or the rugged case from Samsung
Since the paper cover thingy doesn't protect the back of the tablet and I can't stand having scratches and dents on any of my devices...

Not that I'm aware of
However, the Samsung Smart Keyboard Trio 500 which was given for free alongside the PerantiSiswa does have a DeX key
Which is kinda funny considering the tablet they gave out, the A8 doesn't support DeX

So, there's plenty of those on carousell if you want a cheap Bluetooth keyboard with DeX key

Thanks all. I purchased with cover keyboard .. rm500. And pay by installment. Give a try and hope it work well for me. Thanks for all your sharing.

Now the keyboard cover is free/included across all Tab S9 range.

Heartache seeing first batch buyer like me paying extra RM 450 while current batch buyers get it for free.  ranting.gif

Actually no different. Pre-order they give free 256GB, but ask you to pay for keyboard 50%. Pre-order you can use ROI.

Now after launched, they use actual price which is rm500 extra to get 512G, and they free keyboard.

Pre-order more worth for those dont want keyboard but more storage.
