On October 3, 2023, Samsung announced theGalaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+,[9] alongside theGalaxy S23 FE, with notable differences include using LCD screens of lower resolutions and refresh rate, a mid-range Exynos 1380 chipset, two speakers, a slower USB 2.0 port without DisplayPort support (no external monitor), Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz), a different camera setup, and having fingerprint scanner on the power button.
The Galaxy Tab S9 series is the final flagship tablet series in theGalaxy Tab S series to support 32-bit applications.[10]
The Galaxy Tab S9 series includes five models: Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+, Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+. It also marked the first time that Samsung released two FE models.[11]
With the release of the first three models, it brings minor upgrades over its predecessor, such as Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on all models, introduction of anIP rating on a tablet, lower latency S Pen, under display fingerprint sensor, and slightly bigger battery (for the Tab S9).
The tablets still use the same aluminum body fromits predecessors, and only comes in two different colors (four for the FE models). For the first time, all tablets under this release now supportIP68, a first for the overall Tab S series (and also to the FE models).[12]
