Sunking59, 30 Aug 2023That's clearly incorrect. The Tab S7 and S8 with their... moreI can only comment on my personal experience. And there is a big difference in battery life between my two new Tab S9 tablets and my old Tab S8 tablet. I'm seeing a 20% to 25% longer battery life with the way I use them. It's now getting close to the very long battery life that my Tab S7 FE tablets have.
Like with the S23 line, the longer battery life is mostly attributed to the more efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Between the newer SoC and also being made by TSMC, with it's better manufacturing process. It is more efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that was made by Samsung. That was in the S22 line and the Tab S8 line.
Samsung has another sale this weekend. And they are now giving $500 trade in value for Tab S7 FE tablets(much better than the $350 they were giving a month ago). So I'm trading in my last two Tab S7 FE tablets for another 256GB Tab S9. And also another Tab S9+.
TopCashBack also has 12% cash back from Samsung right now. Bringing my total out pocket cost for the Tab S9 to only around $280, after taxes..
Assuming FedEX doesn't lose my trade in. They lost my Galaxy Watch4 trade in, for my Galaxy Watch6. I still need to contact Samsung about it.

The colors also seemed off for me and I already had to slide green to the third lowest value. Even with that, everything looks grayish compared to my phone and old Tab S5e. I feel like they used the cheapest and worst displays they had left. Might return it for good now.

Battery life is pretty bad, and now I'm looking for alternatives. Even at €700 with rebates and trade-in, it's not worth it. Can't even handle video streaming efficiently. I won't need the free 12GB RAM upgrade if it can't even last longer than 8 hours at 60Hz watching videos...

aaronwt, 29 Aug 2023Battery Life is much better than my Tab S8 was.That's clearly incorrect. The Tab S7 and S8 with their LCD displays have much better battery life. My 2.5 year old 11' Tab S7 gives me 1.5hrs more SOT per charge than my 11" Tab S9. The Tab S9 may have a bigger battery but it isn't big enough! The battery life is mediocre at best, returning 7-8 hours of SOT when doing basic web surfing and watching YouTube videos. Check out the German tech site Chip.de review.

Got to say, battery life is not great even with 60Hz max. I get around 8-9h watching videos. It has a larger battery by 87% compared to my A52, and only 14% more pixels, yet I get the same SOT.
I was hoping for a little bit more efficiency but atleast everything is snappy and smooth.

And the only big advantage I see, with my Tab S8+ OLED screen, is the off angle viewing. But I never view my tablets off angle, so it's not really a benefit for me.
I only traded in my Tab S8 because I got $500 trade in credit toward a Tab S9. And I had only paid around $200, out of pocket, for my Tab S8 last year.

Khang, 05 Aug 2023Tf you saying, tab s8 not have low pmw like oled screen so ... moreWell, it's not. I've been using oled screens for 13 years and never had a problem. I guess i am not sensible to screen flickering and pwm. But with the TFT screen of the Tab S8 I really had serious problems. I dont know why, but that's how it is.

What value is your comment for this group? At least my comment pertained to the Tab S9.
I still have not opened either of my Tab S9 tablets. I've been lazy since I hate dealing with the trade in process. I've only setup my Watch6. But I need to ship the trades in for my tablets by the 23rd. So I need to get my ass in gear and use Smart Switch. To transfer the data from a Tab S7 FE and a Tab S8.
