A budget friendly alternative to the higher end devices with great performance and battery life
By Joe L on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2025
I picked the WiFi version up in mid March 2025 for my 6 year old during a special after her tablet was cracked in an accident caused by her sister. I got this because its not exactly top of the line but it has a good balance power and performance, and I read many good reviews on it claiming the very same. When I gave this tablet to my daughter, she was excited. The first thing she noticed was the screen was almost 3 inches bigger than her previous tablet. She was so happy to have a tablet close in size to mine, and from the same company. lol (she's a daddy's girl and Samsung is my thing) She also noticed that her new tablet is so much faster than her previous tablet. She celebrated by downloading some of her favorite games from the google play store that her last tablet could not run without issue. I opted for the 12 GB ram model, which of you decide to pick one up, you should definitely do the same. It made the entire experience of this tablet so much better and smoother. The screen has amazing color richness for what I paid. I honestly figured for the price I paid, this was going to be just another washed out, low spec, disposable tablet. So many of the cheaper new tablets you see these days lack in some areas to justify boosts in others. Didn't take long to find out that this was not the case for this one. While you're not going to be playing games like Genshin Impact or CoD Mobile on ultra high settings, you can play most games on medium and a lot on higher settings with ease. My daughter does not stream movies on her tablet, so widevine support was not one of the specs I worried about when selecting this tablet. If you are into that and need your tablet to stream movies in high resolution, make sure to check the widevine level first. Low support could be a deal breaker for some people. Battery life seems to be quite good. On a full charge, she can usually get multiple days at a few hours per days before needing to plug in. She uses the tablet for everything from school work, light gaming, and her favorite thing.. searching for the definition of words she hears throughout the day and attempting to use them in sentences. Makes for interesting conversations.. lol Since this and many tablets and phones these days do not come with chargers, its best to find a decent one with multiple charging speeds starting at the lowest. Thats what I did and the tablet uses the fastest output that is needed for fast charge, you just need to be sure the charger you pick has multiple speeds if you don'tpick up a specific charger from Samsung. I used a 45w charger that clocks all the way down to charge low demand items, like my headphones. That charges my tablet at 45 An additional note: If you decide to get this tablet, be sure to pick up a fast, large capacity Micro SD card. I got myself a Samsung card directly from Samsungs site. I added a Samsung PRO Plus 512 GB microSDXC to my tablet and a 128 to my daughters. Now, the only thing I can honestly say i do not like about the A9+. The camera.. my daughter thinks its great, but she came from a tablet with a barely functioning camera to the A9+. She is just happy to be able to take pictures that don't look they were taken in the deep end of a swimming pool. lol Now if your thing is taking a lot of pictures at good quality, this really is not the device for you. But keep in mind, most of these tablets are not focused on camera quality like today's phones. They put most of their R&D into the hardware specs of the tablet and skimp on the camera quality. You want good quality photos in a tablet, you get a newer iPad or Galaxy S9 or S10 series (minus the FE). The S9 FE is a decent tablet, its just that Samsung spent most of that budget on improved hardware related to performance, not camera quality.

Screen is dying at 4-months, Samsung does NOT honor 12-month warranty (bought Dec. 2024)
By Always on a Budget on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025
I bought this Samsung A9+ December 2024, from Amazon (the seller) NOT one of their vendors that would void a warranty for not being an 'authorized' Samsung seller, as a Christmas gift for myself and didn't begin using it until mid-January 2025. I also bought a nice sturdy silicone and plastic case for this tablet off Amazon like I do for our Samsung Galaxy phones (we only buy Samsung phones) and a Samsung Tab Lite just in case any ever dropped, which would be onto our den carpet for the A9+. During the last 4-months, the A9+ has been kept in one room in my home and never dropped or abused. Yet, at just four months old, the A9+ screen started to develop an odd 1.5" x 1" stain on the screen (under the glass), so I sent it to Samsung using their free UPS label. Several days later, Samsung's outsourced tech service updated the status of my service request refusing to cover it under the 12-month warranty stating that there was physical damage. There had been NO physical damage whatsoever by me or my husband. I'm absolutely certain. My husband and I are the only people in our home and we're both responsible adults 40+ and he has never used that tablet. I even sent several photos of the tablet (front & back) including the screen to a Samsung representative I spoke with showing NO 'physical damage' along with photos I took as I carefully and securely packed up the tablet to send to Samsung with THEIR prepaid shipping label on an Amazon box. The glass is pristine, as is the entire outside of the tablet. The problem wasn't physical damage, it was 'stains' INSIDE the screen UNDER the glass. NOTE: Staining is one of the choices on the Samsung form when you request service through their website, so I'm certain this particular defect has happened to other customers, yet Samsung gaslights customers into insisting WE damaged our tablets! When I was shopping for this tablet in December 2024, I read A LOT of negative reviews about Samsung for this very issue with the screen that I'll admit I didn't believe at the time....I figured that the people complaining surely had to have dropped their tablets, but I believe them now....Samsung voids a warranty citing 'physical damage' or 'misuse', which is very convenient for Samsung not to cover defective products that result in a total loss for the consumer (I'm out $221.91...the cost of the tablet with tax and the $4 electronic waste fee). We own and gift A LOT of Samsung products, from a washer & dryer to six Galaxy cellphones over the years, in addition to a Tab A Lite and TWO Galaxy watches. Sadly, I doubt I can ever convince myself to buy another Samsung product ever again π due to the defective A9+ and horrible customer service...basically calling me a liar when I was honest in stating that we didn't damage the tablet in any way. This is our second Samsung tablet. The first one is a Galaxy Tab A Lite that we use with our Concept2 Rowing Machine, since 2023. It works great, which is why I decided to get the A9+ for various reasons including Kindle Books and quick browsing in our den. Huge mistake that I found out the hard way. I've since checked Consumer Reports and see that Lenovo tablets and Apple ipads EARN higher review ratings, overall, than Samsung. I'm a diehard Windows PC and android user so I'm not sure I would ever get an ipad, therefore, I looked at the Lenovo tablets. I'm not all that familiar with Lenovo, other than the company was the manufacturer of IBM products years ago, and I'm typing right now on a refurbished/renewed Lenovo 15" laptop that I bought on Amazon in 2023 that works great! I've decided it's time to switch brands...and this isn't a bluff. I recently ordered, and received a Lenovo Tab Plus direct from Lenovo because Amazon didn't have any available being sold BY Amazon (only had those being sold by outside vendors which aren't considered 'authorized sellers' by most manufacturers), otherwise, I would have bought the Tab Plus here. Back in early December (2024), I had considered getting the Lenovo Tab Plus, but the A9+ cost slightly less so unfortunately, I went with that instead. Really stupid move on MY part...because the Lenovo Tab Plus has TWICE the storage as the A9+, in addition to a larger screen, twice the speakers (and they're better!), and has PC Mode AND Android Mode, just to name a few features. Thanks Samsung...thanks a lot for showing me what you're made of π before I invested any more $$$$ in your products.
