Summary - The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, a nominal upgrade over its predecessor, but boasts a 14.6-inch display, fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-driven performance, and functionality as a pseudo-laptop. Its high cost may prompt comparison to cheaper tablets or laptops, but its new Qualcomm processor and IP68 water and dust resistance make it a popular choice.
Overview - Build - The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra comes with two rear cameras and a magnetic strip at the back to store and charge the S Pen included in its package.

Overview - Features - The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra comes with a variety of impressive features, such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the Android 13 operating system, quad speakers, a USB-C port, OLED display, biometric features, an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, better battery life, and the new Creator stylus S Pen.
Overview - Purpose - The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is seen as a substitute to a laptop for getting work-related tasks done, but that requires pairing it with a keyboard case. Said case does not come with the tablet, and has to be purchased separately for either $200, or $350 if one also includes a trackpad. With the total price reaching around $1400 and above, the tablet reaches the same price threshold of a nicely equipped MacBook Air. Its bundled software and compatibility with various devices however are nice additions.
Overview - Target Market - The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is seen as made for users who prefer Samsung devices and want a tablet that can double as a laptop. It can be a more affordable alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra, though its bundled DeX mode is seen as not as good as an actual Windows operating system. It is marketed towards artists who need a larger canvas for drawing or casual users who just want the big size for watching media.
Overview - Worth - The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is seen as the best tablet to use with a controller, akin to having a light and portable TV.

Recommendation - The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is seen as the ultimate Samsung tablet for users who want a very large screen for a variety of usage scenarios, with good visual quality and ultra-slim design, along with great performance.
