Galaxy Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+ were officially introduced

Samsung has expanded its product portfolio with the unveiling of the Galaxy S9 FE and Galaxy S9 FE+. Both tablets offer flagship-like specifications but at a more approachable price point. They are designed to enhance the Galaxy Tab S experience by introducing a Fan Edition, launched alongside the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Buds FE. These tablets promise to deliver the classic Samsung software experience, complete with S-Pen support and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE sports a 10.9-inch WQXGA LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a departure from the Dynamic AMOLED 2X display found on the Galaxy Tab S9. Its counterpart, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, is equipped with a 12.4-inch WQXGA LCD display, which also supports a 90Hz refresh rate. Both these tablets boast an IP68 rating, ensuring they are resistant to both dust and water.

Driving these Fan Edition tablets is Samsung's Exynos 1380 SoC. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE is available with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM paired with 128GB or 256GB storage options. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, on the other hand, offers a choice between 8GB or 12GB of RAM, with the same storage options. Interestingly, users have the flexibility to expand storage up to 1TB on both tablets using a MicroSD card.
