Samsung's Galaxy Tab S9 series boasts power, display, and battery life, but high prices dim their allure. Follow the link for our full review: 📸: Samsung //🔗

. They share nearly the same guts, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that powers them, but there are some minor differences between the models. Like how the Tab S9 comes with 8 gigabytes of RAM and the S9+ and S9 Ultra have 12 GB. Or how the S9 Ultra has an extra front camera for sharper video calls. The main differentiating feature across the line is size. The Tab S9's screen is 11 inches, the Tab S9+ is 12.4 inches, and the Tab S9 Ultra is 14.6 inches.

Let's get one thing out of the way first. You can absolutely get some work done on any of these tablets. The recent improvements inhave made it easier to use two apps side by side in split-screen mode, and Samsung lets you have a third app as a floating window in between them. You can collapse this app into a floating bubble or move it to the edge of the screen until you need it again. You can even have two Chrome tabs up and running side by side.

Even better, I'm currently using Samsung's DeX with a Bluetooth keyboard. This is a mode available on Galaxy mobile devices that enables a more desktop-like interface, with a taskbar at the bottom and resizable app windows that resemble the experience on a Windows or macOS machine. You can also connect the Tab S9 series wirelessly as a second screen with Windows PCs, or pair the tablet with an external monitor via a cable for a dual-screen experience.

However, none of this functionality is free of quirks. When paired with a portable monitor, I noticed that the monitor enters DeX mode, but the main tablet screen retains the normal Android interface. I'm not able to use my mouse to move the cursor from the monitor back to the tablet's screen—it just stays on the portable monitor's screen, and I can only control the tablet's screen with my fingers. Everything feels disconnected.
