Bring Ideas to Life with Ease
Each device in the premium Galaxy Tab S9 Series comes with the creative freedom tablet users love: the Galaxy S Pen. Offering a pen-on-paper-like experience, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series and S Pen are now both IP68 rated for water and dust resistance, and can write in search bars, browsers, and app stores. It also has a new bidirectional charging capability, which allows users to repower the pen when it is facing either direction in the cradle. Users can also upgrade to the S Pen Creator Edition9 for a more comfortable grip with textured material, a wider tilt angle, and two types of pen-tips: a hard type for natural drawing and a soft type for paper-like writing.
The Galaxy Tab S9 Series’ immersive display is built for productivity. With Multi Window,10 users can display up to three apps in adjustable windows, and use Pop-Up View to view floating windows, while still showing the full home screen. The Galaxy Tab S9 Series’ Book Cover Keyboard11 helps in simulating a desktop experience with adjustable angles and a backlit keypad. Plus, with DeX Mode12, which has an easy-to-follow cursor, flexible window resizing and positioning, and Second Screen13 capabilities, users can mirror or extend their PC screen to the tablet.
Designed for creatives and visionaries alike, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series’ apps support both productivity and passions. GoodNotes14, launching exclusively for Galaxy tablet users on Android for the first time, offers a new notetaking and journaling experience with simultaneous co-editing. In a Google Meet15 call, collaboration is made easier by allowing for simultaneous screenshare features and co-editing capabilities on live Samsung Notes documents. The pro-level LumaFusion16 video editing app also helps to make it easy to create share-worthy content. You can also share images and videos — even large files — taken on your Galaxy smartphone camera to the Galaxy Tab S9 Series with Quick Share.17 Clip Studio Paint18 is streamlined to a new tablet interface for drawing, painting and more, and designers can transform ideas into a blueprint with either Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Express.19
A Premium Experience, Inside and Out
The Galaxy Tab S9 Series integrates into the Galaxy ecosystem, making using creative tools simple. Users can control their Galaxy smartphone with a Galaxy Tab S9 touchscreen using Multi Control20, where copying, pasting or dragging text and images directly between a Galaxy tablet, laptop and smartphone is made possible.
To match its premium software, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series hardware features the same iconic Galaxy design as the flagship Galaxy S Series smartphones, such as the same striking camera layout. Measuring as thin as 5.5mm for Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series is lightweight and slim, but also durable thanks to a body reinforced with Armor Aluminium. The new Outdoor Cover21 offers even more protection.
Standout Design that is Working Towards Sustainability
The Galaxy Tab S9 Series is yet another example of Samsung’s commitment to building technology that enriches people’s lives while striving to reduce its environmental impact, without compromising quality. Compared to previous generations, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series features a wider variety of recycled materials22 in both internal and external components.23 It also comes in a redesigned packaging box, which includes paper that is derived from 100 percent recycled material.24
These innovations have also been purposefully designed to help optimize longevity. The premium Galaxy Tab S9 Series experience is protected and supported by four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades and by five years of security updates helping to extend the product lifecycle.
