I have it and absolutely love it so far! This is my first android tablet and I’m very impressed. Beautiful screen, surprisingly good battery, and a multitasking beast!

KZfaq finally recommended your videos in my feed again. It's been a few years. 😔

I almost didn't buy the Tab s9 ultra because a lot of youtubers were saying it was way to big, I'm glad i didn't listen to them. The ultra is a beast, and a joy to watch movies and multitask, etc. I got a third party book cover that i can use on a desk, lap or my bed easily.

Lisa, you should start posting affiliate links for the t-shirts you wear in your videos.

Nice review - general like your reviews, prof and acurate - btw i order the "+" Version and happy to see is soon.

Great review Lisa. It's not just you, I have trouble with the fingerprint reader as well.

Thanks ... Great review as always

sorry, but I just got to know where you got that incredible t-shirt??? Love, love, love!

I absolutely love your shirt😍😍😍😍

Lisa! Thank you very much!

I really like your videos, was happy to see this one on this tablet. How many nits of brightness does it have?

Thanks Lisa love your reviews not to long which is great regards from🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 ps i have Subscribed👍👍

You're just the best Lisa. I followed because you were thorough. I stayed because you use terms like "OP" to describe great tech, and wear stuff like Junji Ito panelwork tees. Much love. 💗💗💗

Excellent review, excellent tablet. Thanks!

Oh, joyous discovery! As a seasoned customer, I just love how convenient and absolutely sensible it is for Samsung to ditch the whole charging brick tradition. Who needs those anyway? It's like they read my mind, thinking, "Why not make everyone's lives more exciting by forcing them to buy charging bricks separately? Such a brilliant touch of inconvenience, don't you think?

Hello there! does this new tab line have the same glare issue the tab s7 and tab s8 had? i remember the tab 8+ review where you had the tab s8+ next to an ipad pro and the ipad looked way better due to their anti reflective coating, the samsung was almost like a foggy mirror in comparison. please let me know, thank you!

Your tshirt never fails to impress me😊

Awesome review and I think I will purchase this one since my other one is a 2014😅! Thank you 👑

With the Tab S7+ I got the tablet with the keyboard case together. In retrospect, the S7+ keyboard cover was nothing special, no backlighting, and some teething issues. From the many reviews of the S9 Ultra and its keyboard case, you can see Samsung fixed those issues; and added backlighting. The main problem might be that if you're used to placing your tablets in an aftermarket protective case (one of those thick shockproof cases with a shoulder strap) the keyboard case might not be as useful to you. Unless you don't mind taking the tablet out of the aftermarket case when you need to type something or do work with the keyboard case. Slight hassle but doable. Overall, if you're in the market for a new laptop, and you have the choice between that and the S9 Ultra, the S9 Ultra is very tempting. A great portable office in combination with my S23 Ultra. Personally, I use the tablet along with my workstation PC. And they work very very well together.

Great to see a fellow Southpaw?

I loooove mine. Had a lenovo yoga before this and flipped it around often and as a result the wires became frayed and i got the purple flickering constantly after 4 years. I was super super sad because it was 15.6 inches and i got used to the bigger screen. I looked at the surface but it was smaller and compared to the tab, the tab was better cost wise. It took a while to make the tablet work as a 2 in 1 but now that i have my system in place, it is a productivity machine. I have the keyboard and it is not quite a butterfly keyboard but compared to the thinkpad keyboard, it took some getting used to but im not mad. I can do patient charts, do studying, share screen with smart view as a modified screen extended for apps, and i can have multiple windows open when im on dex. Its been fantastic. I just hope that third party companies create a hovering keyboard case display thing like ipad because i like the samsung keyboard but the back is too floppy to use on my lap and all the other cases cant attach the keyboard with how theyre built.

I've never once owned a tablet and I guess I never will until the ecosystem is improved. Greet review!

OMG these specs are muscling my Desktop PC! This release totally snuck up on me, I still have the Korean 5G Unlocked S8 Ultra in my watchcart! Glad to see it, rocking Galaxy Tabs since S4! Despite coming from iOS and always conceding the ecosystem point, I personally don't need to use anything that demands iOS Apps, and Android Apps have really never given me reason to look elsewhere. (Until a Windows tab, like Surface X but not running ARM) Thank you for your review ! :D

Love your shirt Lisa

Nice work Lisa; very fair...

Lisa! Great video, as per usual. Having used and reviewed tablets from the long ago days of Android Froyo running on an HTC Flyer, how do you feel about where tablets find themselves today? Are you surprised with the level of quality and technological improvements? Underwhelmed? Did you think things would have done differently for Android tablets in terms of market share and developer attention?

Great vid!

outstanding review once again, however, i dont think people should consider upgrading if say the person already owns a tab S6/7/8 , the Tab s9 is just unnecessary at this point as the previous gens are indeed future proof, just my opinion i mean people can do what they want of course, the tab s9 ultra looks very yummy however if you want to just burn cash go for it,

thanx for review

OMG I LOVE YOUR T-SHIRT!!! XD

I love love love this tab

@MobileTechReview I have not received any KZfaq feeds, or notifications of your posts for over a year. I'm having to dig your channel up out of the pit of KZfaq!

4:42 How does this work as a secondary Windows monitor? What is the max available resolution and refresh rate?

gorgeous screen

Best shirt ever! 😉😂♥️

First Samsung and Android tablet. I will never go back to Apple. S pen is amazing tech. This tablet is crazy for options and customization

What kind of mouse do u use ?

Great review. I just can't see spending $1200 - $1700 on a tablet. In this price range I feel there is just a lot more bang for the buck with a notebook, but that's just me.

At similar price, I wonder if it would be better to get a 2in1 laptop like the Samsung Book 3 360 pro ?

I wish the US market got some 5G/Sim card version of the ultra tablet and not just the oversea market. I would ove one of the ultra tablet but i need Sim card slot.

One question to anyone who has used s pen on S9/plus/ultra I got my S9 recently and noticed that when I draw long straight lines randomly the line breaks even though I don't tilt the pen or reduce pressure (reducing pressure too should just make it thin but not break). I don't have any magnetic cover or screen protector and have also tried resetting the s pen as suggested by Samsung support but no help. This is not observed as much when writing words when you intermittently lift the pen or when drawing curved lines like clouds etc. - is this normal, asking as I have never used tablet with stylus before and Samsung support has no clue apart from asking me to return (they don't even have replacement option)

The contrast ratio is over 9000

The only con for me and I would buy it in a heartbeat as if I could plug a switch in or PS5 and use it as a true portable monitor. The Lenovo has a micro hdmi. I just wish the Samsung there was a way to do that.

Is the text slightly pixelated? I read alot so that is really important for me.

Come for the t-shirts stayed for the tech.

Where can I get that t shirt??

Super recenzja 😀👌👏 pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱😉

I like it when they bring out new flagship tabs. it means i can buy a 2 year old flagship for a few hundred quid. 👍. Happy days.

As always, excellent review. I don’t think I’ll ever move from the iPad Pro 12.9”, but this Samsung would be great for couch use/mixed multimedia, where my iPad Pro has been more work-focused

Can you review the new Xiaomi 6 max 14inch

Great review 👍 The S9 Ultra is definitely a powerhouse BUT i'd have expected a much higher level of its display brightness! Even on my Galaxy Tab S7+ the maximum brightness seems to be higher! Are there any tools to test the display on tablets? Thx from Munich 😉

I was wondering the same regarding the pithy amount of TAB software. 🤷‍♂️

I know the Ultra would be too big for me. I've been a fan of the Plus form factor for a while now. I loved my Tab S7 Plus, and recently upgraded to the Tab S9 Plus. This is just about the limit of what I can cradle in my arms for hours at a time. But if I were a digital artist, I imagine that I would love the Ultra series.

Is the display HDR compatible? What’s the peak brightness?

6:12 I love the dilemma of trying to figure out what to do with that botched "n".

I need that T-shirt for my daughter!

I owned this i feel Display quality is smoother than s8 ultra....while playing KZfaq videos

I’m thinking about waiting for the new 13 inch iPad Pro with OLED display coming out in 2024. But this sure is tempting. I don’t know how well I would cope with breaking away from the Apple Eco system though.

4:05 ? I've read everywhere that the tab s9 ultra has adaptive refresh rate

Plus, the Lenovo Tab Extreme DOENS'T play beyond HD on the KZfaq app and Netflix is locked in at SD definition!

Why are these amazing feature rich Android tablets review videos so short? But when it comes to the next iPad they seem to go on for hours. Yet the iPads can't do a quarter of what these premium Tab S tablets can.

Nice

Can a laptop be relaced by this tablet for everyday use?

I'm not due to upgrade yet so I won't be buying this one. I have the S8 Ultra. I don't play games or watch Netflix. I use my tablet mostly for work and take copious amounts of notes. The beauty of this for me is that it's the equivalent of an A4 page and that makes for a far better note-taking experience (for me anyway). I'm also left-handed so being able to move the toolbar in Samsung Notes to my phone is another huge advantage. This is because, as a leftie, I often hit some buttons, which I can't do when I've moved them all to my phone.

wow. want.

Hope to see Lisa review the Lenovo Tab Extreme 14" 2 x USBC ports with one that is Display-Port IN is criminally underlooked and underated. It doubles as a proper portable monitor.

Great looking tablet! Too bad I don't use 'em.

no built in stand always stops me investing in a tablet. miss lenovas built in stands and audio.

I think I'll just keep my S8+ (and Note 9 phone) for now.

She really does have a great T-shirt collection. 1200 smackaroos though...

I m student, this Ultra size is wonderful... trust me I wanted bigger but it s not existing. I use 1 side for my training and the other side of the screen to take handwriting notes. That s why I need a really big screen. IP68 is a mist have when working outside... a coffee on your tablet is common... be careful the Samsung keyboard is not IP68!!

Android 13 One UI update software forces software update before Samsung Galaxy cell phones will allow use of the phone or camera. Attempts to downgrade from 13 to 12 can brick a Samsung Galaxy phone, downgrade videos warn. Do Samsung Android tablets include One UI update software?

It is LTPO adaptive refresh

I've been subscribed for years but the algorithm finally decided to recommend one of you videos. Keep up the great work!

That T-shirt ❤😻 link please

Happy belated Left-Hander's Day!

So which one is better, Samsung Tab S9 Ultra or Lenovo Tab Extreme?

How is the glare?

Can anyone help me to know what was the game that was playing at 7:30

Do you recommended installing antiviral software such as Norton, on this device?

I'd love one of these, but it's hard to see spending $1400 on just a tablet and keyboard.

I'm very curious how many apps the iPad ownerrs use....

I wasn't gonna upgrade from my tab s8 plus. But I decided to go for it. Im extremely glad I did. best tablet i've owned. I use it essentially as my computer.

just recently got mine, its excellent, but there is some samsung bloatware, wish there was a native android only option. no real complaints so far. the tab is a great size, its certainly not too big. Apple is really missing a market here. and OLED is amazing for content

does anyone use this on webull?

the information on the refresh rate is not correct, it automatically can switch between 60-120 hz, on the older tab s8 ultra it is locked at 120hz

As far as Photoshop/Photo Editing goes, one of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth. I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As you mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software... Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is! The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil... I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT. If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500... Unfortunately, Samsung's trade-in's aren't great this year... Two years ago I got the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD Tab S7 Plus in Mystic Navy it was $356 from Samsung with a Tab S4 Trade-In I got off ebay for $175, they gave me $400 trade-in credit, so my total cost from Samsung for the Tab S7 Plus was $531. I had zero intention of upgrading. Samsung then offered me more than I paid for the S7+ in trade, for a 16GB/512GB Ultra. They also gave me $200 credit towards accesories. It was kinda of a no-brainer, plus the 4-year OS updates and 5-years of security updates for $517.59. I absolutely love the Ultra, and have no intention of upgrading, especially since Samsung will only give me $650 for the trade-in of my Ultra and the total cost will be $750 for the 16GB/1TB version... Maybe next time, Sammy...

Thanks for that...iam convinced ...I will sell Samsung 7+ & buy one of these 😅😅😅

This kinda stuff doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe for digital pen artist, but I don't do that and imo something like 7-10" is a good tablet size. Otherwise it's automatically laptop that are so much more universal things.

I love mine & i git the FREE keyboard cover😅

Apps on ipad aren't that great either tbf. Desktop will always be superior to tablet.

Imo, it's better than the iPad

Is it Lisa Brown 🤔 cos I swear she give me Doc Brown Feels from back to the future

Hate the grey bezel

I got the S8 Ultra last year and it was just too big even for my large hands so I returned it for the "+" model and love it. So I opted for the S9+ variant this year and will stick with this size with every upgrade. The beige was a sickly looking color and I returned it for the graphite color. It sucks that Samsung moved the camera and magnetic strip for the pen just enough that my covers from S7+ to S8+ no longer fit and the keyboard gives an error and doesn't work like it should and prices for a new one are INSANE. If I have any issue with the tablet is that the bezel is "too small" (not really), but, when holding it, if your finger overlaps the edge by a millimeter, it is detected and any gestures you perform on the screen are seen as two fingers. Otherwise, I like it as much as any previous Tab tablet.

Hopefully they will have 5g for the ultra tablet soon in the states ❤

My samsung watch keeps telling me my skin is too dry to run an app.

It could be said that for certain types of situations, the size and proportions of the iPad Pro are more useful. For instance, if you want to use a tablet for reading sheet music as a musician, the narrower width of the Samsung is less ideal than the iPad Pro 12.9". I finally got a good comparison view here at 05:37. I'd argue that certain other applications might not be able to make optimum use of the elongated proportions of the Galaxy.

If only Samsung engineered their laptops like their smartphones & tablets.

So Lisa, if you owned the S8Ultra, would you got this?
