Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra review: Impressively big and capable

I put the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra to the test over the last two weeks, using it as an entertainment-only device, and then for work. Here’s my experience.

Why to consider the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra

If you want a massive display, this tablet’s got one

The main selling point of this tablet is without a doubt its large 14.6-inch display. It’s an OLED screen with a 2960 x 1848 pixel resolution and has a 120Hz refresh rate. Its screen is simply beautiful, and its complimented by its slim bezels, really giving the tablet a premium modern-day look. You also get Samsung’s S Pen with the tablet, so if you want to do some note-taking on the device, or drawing on it, you can.

The tablet also has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. While it’s not the latest and greatest Snapdragon chip, it still gets the job done today, and packs quite a punch for gaming or other heavy performance tasks. The tablet also comes with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. It’s got an 11,200 mAh battery too, which as our Pocket-lint review points out, is phenomenal. Battery-life won’t be something you have to worry about too much on this tablet.

The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra launched with Android 13 and One UI 5.1.1. Currently, it can run Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 The tablet will likely get the Android 15-based One UI 7 update hopefully before the end of the year.

This tablet is worth picking up if you want a large display and are okay not getting the latest model. However, if you’re looking for something with a much smaller display, you perhaps may want to check out the new iPad mini which is also on sale right now.
