Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9FE (Fan Edition) tablet is now… but wait, hasn’t the S9 Ultra just released?

Well yes… however this new slimmed down Galaxy S9FE Android tablet is a more conservative model, coming in at 10.9 inches.

Now my love for the Tab S9 Ultra has no end after reviewing it a couple of months back. Samsung absolutely did an ‘Ultra’ right this year.

To say that the Fan Edition of the S9 series is a slimmed and somewhat watered down model would be fair. There was no S Pen included with the review model, but an S Pen (tablet version) should work for some functions. And it is cheaper than its predecessors, of course. A lot cheaper.

The near-to all-screen, super slim Galaxy Tab S9FE has a crisp and vivid LCD display with a not-so-bad 90Hz refresh.

Under the hood we get a low 128GB storage (well, low for some) and 8GB RAM, while powered by an Octa-core Cortex-A78 processor.

You can add an external microSD memory card to give you more storage space.

So no, it is nor as powerful as its predecessors, but it can handle a bit.

Multi-tasking seems to have no end on the Galaxy Tab S9FE. Having apps running in split screen it chugs along nicely.

Gaming, it also handled well here too.

The usual suspects fared real well; Diablo Immortal, Fortnite, Pascal’s Wager (a fav of mine), Asphalt Racing, with Call of Duty Mobile really pushing the S9FE to its limits and causing a bit of heat at the back.

The Galaxy Tab S9FE has a dual camera setup at the rear. The front facing camera is ideal for video calls and vloggers.

As for battery life, the Galaxy Tab S9FE was a surprise… for normal use.

Gaming absolutely annihilated the battery from a full charge, whereas, general media streaming (music and media content) didn’t cause too much of an affect and web browsing over a period of days again didn’t see the 8,000mAh battery take much of a hit.

Having the review device for a couple of weeks it did need a full charge up (after general use) a couple of times a week. It seemed as though the Galaxy Tab S9FE managed to chip away at the battery a bit while in standby mode.

In any case, the Galaxy Tab S9FE is a good all-rounder, a worthy edition to the Samsung family of devices and for those that are not after all of the features and need something simple, lightweight and portable, not forgetting, reliable the Galaxy Tab S9FE is ideal.

It does what it does well and is a winner in the mid tier tablets category.

Samsung is announcing the latest FE series addition to the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem — the new Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+, and Galaxy Buds FE.

Galaxy S23 FE stays true to the iconic S series design with its new floating camera and premium finish protected with IP68 water and dust resistance for an even sleeker display. Offered in new, vibrant colours, Galaxy S23 FE allows users to select the device colour that best fits their style.

Everyday moments come to life on Galaxy S23 FE with pro-grade camera features to help you capture amazing photos and videos.

With advanced digital image stabilisation (VDIS), take steady shots on the go using the rear camera with optical image stabiliser (OIS) angle.

When it comes to creating perfectly sharable content, Galaxy S23 FE is an editing studio on the go. In Pro Mode, controls for shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and more can be manually adjusted to your preferences. Capture customised shots with the Camera Assistant app and choose which automated features to use for a fully customised shooting experience. With the freedom to create and customise, Galaxy S23 FE camera has the AI-powered editing tools to help elevate your creations.

For gaming and streaming, Galaxy S23 FE’s powerful processor makes every action rapid and fluid with a vapour chamber that helps to control heat and sustain performance. The long-lasting 4,500mAh battery intuitively adjusts to conserve energy, charging up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes with a 25W Adapter. All this power comes to life on a bright, super-smooth 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Based on your surroundings, Vision Booster technology on Galaxy S23 FE automatically detects bright lighting conditions, keeping the screen vivid just like flagship models.

The Galaxy S23 FE series is available in modern, bold colours, including Mint, Cream, Graphite, and Purple.

Whenever inspiration strikes, Galaxy Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+ deliver essential entertainment, expressive creativity, and seamless productivity. With two portable and powerful devices to choose from, even more users can experience the versatility of the Galaxy Tab S series. Digital creators, entrepreneurs, busy students, artists, gamers, and more will explore their passions and get work done with improved device speed and even better performance compared to the previous FE Series.

Responsive and immersive viewing and creating can happen at home, at work, on campus, or even at the park on Galaxy Tab S9 FE’s 10.9-inch and Tab S9 FE+’s 12.4-inch displays — featuring an automatic refresh rate that adapts up to 90Hz. Sunlight is no match for Vision Booster, which enhances visibility in outdoor environments by optimising colour and contrast especially in the dark area of the screen. Just like the newest Galaxy Tab S9 series, both Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ received an IP68 rating, offering enhanced durability for peace of mind on the go. Plus, Tab S9 FE+’s long-lasting battery with up to 20 hours of video playback on a single charge means work and play won’t keep you tethered to a cord.

Ideas and notes are easy to capture with Galaxy’s signature in-box, IP68-rated S Pen. Like the Galaxy Tab S9 series, the Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+ include a wide variety of creative tools and apps, including fan favourites like Goodnotes, LumaFusion, Clip Studio Paint, and more. Easily keep class notes, sketches, videos, and more with up to double the storage, plus the option to upgrade to 1TB with a microSD card.

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE series is available in four fashionable colours, Mint, Silver, Grey and Lavender.

Galaxy Buds FE bring Samsung’s industry-leading sound experience to more users. Its powerful bass offers deep and rich sound that allows you to enjoy music the way the artist intended, while powerful Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Ambient Sound enable you to hear more of what you love and less of what you don’t. Also, automatic personalised beamforming of the advanced three microphone system, along with AI-powered Deep Neutral Network (DNN), separates your voice from unwanted background noise for clearer calls.

Boasting the longest battery life in the Buds series, Galaxy Buds FE provide up to 8.5 hours of playback with earbuds, and total up to 30 hours including the charging case. Even when using ANC, users can get up to 6 hours of playback with earbuds, and total of up to 21 hours including the case. Inspired by the iconic and ergonomic design of the series, Galaxy Buds FE are engineered to be comfortable enough to wear for a long time, and enable a more customised fit with three different sizes of ear tips and two different sizes for wingtips.

Galaxy Buds FE are available in two distinct, modern colours: Graphite and White.

With new FE devices, it’s easier than ever to experience the full power of the connected Galaxy ecosystem. Productivity is intuitive with Multi Control, which enables users to drag and drop content easily between multiple Galaxy devices. Copy and paste or drag and drop between smartphone and tablet. When creativity strikes, simply transfer videos or images from smartphone to tablet with Quick Share, for easier editing.

When it is time for immersive entertainment, Galaxy Buds FE are the perfect companions. Auto Switch intelligently switches sound between your smartphone, tablet, and even watch and TV – based on your usage with no manual adjustments required. Also, SmartThings Find helps you track down misplaced Buds and also sound an alarm should they be left behind.

All these devices and connectivity capabilities uphold Samsung’s commitment to providing secure and private experiences. Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series are backed by Samsung Knox protection, meaning personal information is kept that way, by default.

Beginning October 16, 2023 Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE series and Buds FE will be available.
