I hope this 2024 Samsung Tab S9/S9+/S9 Ultra/FE/FE+ battery drain test was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or have me test? Would love to know what you think. Did you expect these results?
That Ultra is definitely their flagship device but I'm glad Samsung makes tablets for every budget.
Agreed!
Thank you for contributing, as always.
WOW, this is dedication!
yes
Thanks so much Brad!!!
Loved it, much anticipated video. Why no one else does tablet battery test comparisons, its just as important as smartphone battery test. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful. I’ll definitely continue to create them!!!
I've got the S9 Ultra and it's so nice damn. Charges slowly but lasts for a lot too.
Congrats on the great tablet!
How long does it take to charge?
2 hours when not in use, 3-4 when being used (atleast on mine)
How long will it last with a full charge?
I got the 10.9” Tab S9 FE just yesterday….and given my planned usage for it (secondary tablet for e-books reading and media consumption), I think the battery is gonna do incredibly good for me. 😎
That’s amazing. I love that you got just the right tablet for what you need!!
The wait is finally over! You have finally lived up to your months old promise and I must tell you how long I was waiting for this test. I was almost about to place an order few hours ago but thought to just once more check on youtube and guess what? The video you've been promising for more than 3 months is here. Thank you! Thanks a lot! It really affects decisions.
Which one did you end up buying and how happy are u with your decision?
The benefits of having the amoled display are really showing
I've been waiting a long time for this video. Very good video, thanks for making it happen.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
Awesome video!
Finally I've been waiting for so long also please could you do it early on the tab s10 ultra when 8t arrive
I’ll do my best!
Watching this already on my s9 lol but great vid though ....Definitely would have regretted if i bought the fe or an ipad pro with lcd screen.There is no comparison for amoled displays, the crispness is just amazing
Thank you for watching. So glad you love your tablet!
Finally, the test I've been waiting for so looonnnggg
Thank you for watching!
Good work appreciate the content

Thanks bro😊
Thank YOU!
Great idea to do mini-reviews of everyday use features while doing the drain test. Well done!
Thank you so much for watching and for the input. I appreciate you for being part of the community!
Thanks for the review! But I have a suggestion video that I think can really help people out. Can you Compare the IPad mini 6 vs the Samsung S9 FE. Lately in Amazon they are selling the mini 6 for 399$ I hope you can compare it to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Because they are both close in price.
Good job!!!
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the support.
Thank you. Good video ✨️
Hope it was helpful thank you for being part of the channel!
Wow, what a great test and super impressive results from all of these tablets.
Thanks so much, Thomas!
Got S9 FE for about 250$. Happy with value that it offers at that price. I also had an option to spend 200$ more for S9, but didn't end up buying it.
Great . You are the only one i can trust in case of tablets
Oh wow - you’re too kind. I appreciate you!!!
Excellent review
Thank you so much!
Quick compare with Your other iPad drain test. The S9 has 9,5 hours and iPad Pro 11 only 6,5. That's not a small difference. Thx 4 the share. Super work. 🙂
Really good vids man. I love how samsung can make tablets for all price ranges
Thank you so much!!! I agree that offering different levels of tablets is great! Thank you for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk You really responded 🙏. You are a very good example of a good KZheadr, talking with your community and thinking about ur community. Keep up the amazing content 💪
How were the temperatures of each tablet? At what point did they get very warm?
Great effort Love from india❤
I want to ask something. There is graininess on my Samsung s9+ tablet. gray and in those tones (I use night mode and extra dark on, it is obvious in many places such as google play - youtube - files - settings - edge panel, you may need to look more carefully in videos with certain moving content, but it bothers me to see it in many places. If I knew they were going to change it, I would take it to the warranty immediately) . Frankly, I'm still not sure if this is a bug or a normal problem that can occur on AMOLED screens. Normally, it does not bother much while consuming content, but when you look closely, it can be easily seen when you hold the device in your hand, that is, in generally low and high light, but it is not visible when you place the tablet on the ground and look at it from a certain distance. My monitor is not OLED, but when I look at it closely (32"), I can easily see the pixels. No matter how close I get to my phone, I don't see anything external that I can see from a normal distance. I wonder if I send it to warranty and ask for a one-to-one replacement, can I get a positive result? If I had the opportunity, I would buy an oled phone with an amoled screen and not a large one. I would like to look at the screens and test them. It is not easy to test because the lighting in the store is very high and I could not get a clear result.
Where did you get those wallpapers
Your gaming room is amazing!!!💯💥👌
Oh wow - thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The best review of S9 series on KZhead!
Oh wow thanks so much. I truly appreciate you 🙏🏻👏🏻
chips manufactured by tsmc always had advantage in power efficiency
Thank you. love from Bangladesh ❤❤
Thank you so much for watching and being part of the community!!!
Great video. But, please try to include a 12hour standby test after about 4-5 hours of use. A lot of people use the tablets only for an hour or 2 a day so good standby times are important.
Very happy with my Tab S9.
That’s awesome!
Does the screen brightness remain at 600 nits throughout?
Hey tech talk gear , did u know the gamepass web app streams games better than the native game pass android app.
If buying for drawing anime which is better?s9 or s9fe?
Can you do battery drain test for Tab A9 and A9+?
The KZhead video not being in full screen skews the results because KZhead is in dark mode, and AMOLEDs would save power on the areas of completely or almost black, whereas the FEs use an LCD and wouldn't save power. Since no one watches like that, you should use full screen instead, which represents a much more accurate form of content consumption. The black areas may be smaller or completely gone, depending on whether or not you completely zoom in on the video or leave behind the black bars which would be closer to how we actually watch KZhead and stiffles the black area power saving effects.
Hi will the galaxy tab s9fe have slighty better battery life than my Samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 inch 2016 model s9fe at just over 7 hours in your test dosent seem great but am geusssing it can do better depending on what you are doing seen some people say general use there getting a good 10 hours on it it has a slighty bigger battery than my tab a but theres probably a better screen on the s9fe
Great video, thank you Segi! I get close to 11 hours on my S9 Plus, changing the refresh rate to 60. This tablet is already fast and smooth, so I don't need the 120 refresh rate.
Thanks for sharing!!!
more than happy about my s9+ 512gb 5g. i'm even using it as my main phone
Amazing!
How can i get these wallpapers?
Dont get why they give u fast charge option when it will clearly destroy the battery in the longrun and if u domt buy a fast charger then they gonna take ages to charge I have an old tablet that proberly takes around 3 or 3 and a half hours to charge
Bro you're so right my tab s9 plus is slower i thought i was imagining but definitely right maybe it's the one ui 6.0 update
Once you upgrade to 6.1 , which has many updated fixes , it should improve efficiency.
Thanks for watching and for contributing to the community. They were all running the latest available one ui as of that day. I’m puzzled.
@@TechGearTalk were the Tabs slow during recording
Man, can you do the same test with other tablets (Apple, Xiaomi, OnePlus etc) ??
Yes! Good idea.
tab s9 ultra is so heavy and big for me. i choose tab s9 plus and i enjoy this tablet. this is a middle ground between s9 and s9 ultra. 😃
for me personally i feel like the s9 is the perfect size for tablet not too big or small just a good size and seems like a pretty good battery capacity waiting for the prices to drop tho
I appreciate you watching g and taking the time to share your perspective. If you’re not in a rush - it always makes sense to wait.
I have an old galaxy tab a 2016 model will any of these newer tablets have better battery life
I had the 2016 one has well for year and yes the better life is better for the newer tablets
I bought the tab s9 based on this Video and i cant get anywhere near as much Screen on time as you....
Thank you so much for the comparison. Had been waiting for it... I just bought the S9 ultra 2 weeks ago. As impressive as this behemoth of a tablet is, I have decided to return it and downgrade to S9 FE plus just for the sake of mobility and being able to carry it comfortably. Although S9 plus exists with better battery life and superior SD 8Gen2, I don't use my tablet for gaming or any CPU heavy tasks. I hope this tablet can last me about 2 years, which I can see it should... Let's see...

How much without Fe models last in KZhead
I'm a student and I want to take notes only. I want to buy Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+. That model is okey for me?
Plenty okay
greetings good sir are your videos sponsered?
Thank you for your kind videos. But, I heard s9fe LCD brightness (almost 600nit) is much brighter than s9 (around 400nit). So if you compare these tablets with 100%brightness, it's unfair. s9fe s9fe+ battery will last longer with same brightness. (sorry for my poor english)
Thank you for watching. If you watch the beginning - I equalize the brightness. They are not all at 100%.
@@TechGearTalk Thanks. I missed the part 😅
why doesnt verizon offer the ultra ROARRR
I am sure that S7fe will outlast S9fe+ and even S9+ because of significantly lower resolution and most optimised and efficient midrange snapdragon chipset
I got my daughter a tab S9 FE and battery life is horrible! She will play Roblox but after 6 hours it's dead. Needs to be recharged. I also have the battery saver program active. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm about to return it and get another
Roblox drains more battery tho.. did she played Roblox for 6 hours straight?
Whats the difference between s9 and s9+?
screen size and the s9plus has 12gb ram
Thank you for this watching me video
👍
Maybe you should do a test for taking notes as this is one of the selling points and main uses for adults. I have s9 FE+ and S9 FE they literarly score 16 Hours on taking notes on white screen. I had 2 weeks the S8+ it had only 8 hours. This numbers apply only to the 70 % range usage of the battery, I mean I was charhging from 15% to 85% and counted the time. My number are pretty different from yours becasue they have different context of usage. Your test being for general usage it does not emphasise particular aspects which can lead to big differenceies according to specific usage .... and this I would say it is pretty darn important, becasue it led me to take back the the S8+. I alos reduced to minimum the refresh rate, but on FE it drops to 30 while on Flagship drops to only 60.... which again, drains more battery. So the less intensive use leads to a huge difference of battery life.
S8 vs s9 fe+
1🎉
You were fast!!!!
My Personal question. What should an 80 year old man get. For social media. You tube etc. and few games.
S9 is perfect for you.
@@ludovic0 I think I already told you that I have the Galaxy A9+ tab. But I'm not receiving the Latest Updates. I think it's A6.1? Not sure. Hmm. I still have the 6.0
@user-pj2kq9qr7c You'll get One ui 6.1 in your tab A9 , just wait for months cause flagships usually get software updates first but your tablet is a budgt tablet so you'll receive it later
@@domar6274 ok. Thanks for the information.
Better than ipad?
Yes
You know what this boils down to?? EXYNOS is worse than SNAPDRAGON
That is also the reason FE is cheaper, because its meant to cut down some flagship feature
Exynos 2400 top 4
And LCD vs oled
All Android Tablets have the same problem: Nearly no Apps specific for a Tablet Screen. Most of the Apps are just Smartphone Apps, blown up to be presented on a larger Screen. So they are limited to their Browser and a few Apps, which are delivered from the Manufacturer, in this case from Samsung. But not nearly as what you'll get on an iPad. In my Opinion all Android Tablets are just useless. And the decreasing sales shows exactly this.
no, try one before saying anything. All the average user apps are available and optimized. There are a ton of great note taking apps. It only lacks in the niche segment with Video and Photoediting. Additionally iPads are losing market share, while other OEMs are gaining it.
@@eulehund99Agree ipads are not even water resistant and no headphone jack. It also comes with insane additional prices for everything you want it to be. So I was like lols better yet with Samsung who has the biggest screen today.
No shocker that the Exynos Tab S9's performed the worst by a significant margin. It is a shame that Samsung sells inferior chips and hurts customers to save their Fab business. The Exynos versions should be avoided. Either pay extra for the SnapDragon versions or buy a tablet from another OEM. Efficiency and performance could be more impressive on the Exynos. I can see why battery life has improved with the new eco displays and modem. Both have 30-35% greater efficiency than the Tab S8 line, which had the SD8+G1 two generations back. Improved RAM and gen3 4nm TSMC rather than gen1 4nm also add up to a big generational improvement (Tab S8 to Tab S9). Nice devices, but now Samsung tablets are closer in price to iPads, the iPad become more enticing, especially with the new dual-stack OLEDs coming in a few weeks with an M3 chip and a new design.
Agreed depends on how more expensive these ipads with oled become.
Tab s9 has 8gen2
@@Avner-sj2ky Thanks! Yes, I was wrong. That makes them even further behind the upcoming M3 iPads, not only in performance, efficiency but also AI.
Samsung phone and tablets are the worse when it comes to their battery. Pity for a well known brand, their battery drain so fast !
S9 ❤ oh my love...
Such a good tablet!
