You Can Get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ With $300 Off Right Now
If you’re not a fan of Apple products or are looking for an iPad alternative, now may be the time to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ . This 12.4-inch, 256GB tablet (in beige and graphite) is currently priced at $699.99, down from its original $999.99. And thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 120Hz refresh rate, this gadget is said to run smoothly, whether you’re streaming your favorite shows or drawing your next masterpiece with the included S Pen (yes, there’s no extra charge for that , unlike the iPad). Its IP68 rating means it’s dust and waterproof (up to 30 minutes at five feet, according to Samsung), and its aluminum frame is designed to withstand a few knocks (though maybe don’t test that theory too hard) .
The Tab S9+ offers the usual Galaxy AI features, including a circle search function for easy on-screen searching, as well as note-taking, transcription and summarization. DeX mode allows the tablet to act as a mini-desktop with a PC-like interface; you can also connect it to an external display for additional workspace. However, if you need 5G connectivity, this upgrade costs $150 and is only available on the 256GB model.
Despite its 10,090mAh battery, the Tab S9+ may not last as long as you’d hope depending on your usage, and fast charging isn’t as fast as advertised, according to one review . If you plan to use it over long distances from an outlet, this is something to consider. After a full comparison , PCMag notes that the Apple iPad Pro 13-inch could be a good alternative if you’re willing to shell out $1,189.99 for it (down from $1,299).
