Blurring the line between tablet and laptop, the Tab S9 Ultra is a multitasking marvel with a huge HDR screen, but its lack of identity counts against it.
Large and bright, with a wonderful screen, the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra wants to be so much more than a media consumption device, and nearly manages it. There's a lot to like here for creative pros, but you have to be prepared to accept the Android software available.A 14.6-inch touchscreen on a tablet just 5.5mm thick is quite a thing to hold.
Even the box feels slender - there's no charger included, but you do get a stylus - but there's also an elephant. You can’t make a tablet like this and not have it compared to another large tablet that ends with ‘Pro’, especially when you want to charge more than £1,000 for it.
Being light, stiff, and not too thick means software is harder to come by. The Tab is also beaten by Samsung’s own especially in its GPU scores. The phone has a newer chipset, an S-Pen stylus, and DeX mode, but can’t match the tablet for screen size.A tablet is a suboptimal device with which to take photos, and, understandably, Samsung has skimped on the snappers here. The ultrawide lenses are nice additions, but it perhaps makes more sense on the front, where it can be used for group video calls, than it does on the back - few will be using it to take in the entire majesty of a cathedral, for example.
The Galaxy Tab’s initial setup procedure looks a lot like Windows 11’s, and it’s clear from the processing grunt that’s been levered inside that this is a tablet designed for some serious work instead of Netflix . What it’s very good at is multitasking, and Samsung’s DeX mode is a better choice for PC-like tasks than Apple’s Stage Manage. Hooking the Tab S9 up to a monitor and keyboard gives you a usable touchscreen laptop with Google Docs and browser windows tiled across the screen.
