There’s no denying that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is one epic Android tablet.
The sheer size at 14 inch with dual front camera’s and a near-to all AMOLED screen make it the perfect entertainment device for at home and on the go.
As a mobile gaming tablet the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra has a lot to offer.
It’s pixel perfect display makes it perfect for those pixeled retro revisits.
But when you throw some console quality gaming goodness at it, the specs of 12GB RAM and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 really kick in. As does the tablets long life 11200 mAh battery.
A few hours of the RPG Diablo Immortal played real well. That large screen giving a necessary viewscape of your immediate environment in this isometric third person view. Even more pleasing was seeing the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra’s battery hardly dented. From a full charge and a three hour play Diablo Immortal shaved off 9% total.
Call of Duty Mobile was a bit greedier. While this also had no issues with play, and that larger screen was beneficial in PvP, it did knock out around 35% battery life after three hours of unbroken playtime.
For the petrol heads and racers out there, Bugbear’s Wreckfest port to Android is one of the must-haves.
Race, smash and take out opponents on an epic scale with the 14 inch screen on the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. The tablet purred along like a well oiled engine. So much so I found myself playing longer than I had planned after a full charge up.
Wreckfest only took 22% battery life after five hours of non-stop metal carnage.
The above games, bar the retro one, are all resource heavy. Graphically as well as spec-wise and of course battery usage.
Yet the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra didn’t break a sweat.
If you’re an Xbox gamer, using Game Pass (cloud gaming) on the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is amazing, especially when out of the home.
This said, this was the heavy hitter on the tablets juice.
Playing Xbox games while on the go for around three hours took 42% battery. It was a little less when not using mobile data and WiFi at home, but not by a lot.
I do recommend using an Xbox Bluetooth controller, as the sheer size of the screen made it a little awkward to play via touch screen.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is an ultimate portable or at home gaming tablet, not only having the inner specs to give you console quality game time but also it the ability to keep up with you for lengthy gaming marathons.
