Dynamic AMOLED 2X.
Uniform brilliance


Three sizes.
Two nature–inspired colours


Choose between understated, professional Graphite and soft, natural Beige — both accentuated with premium detailing and a smooth blasting finish for a sophisticated look.

Get a crystal–clear, comfortable view with Dynamic AMOLED 2X


Whether you choose Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+ or Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, each is ready to bring your creative vision to life. All three feature a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, delivering stunning colour and visuals.

Unified design. The beauty is in the details


It's always the smallest things that matter most. Like the floating camera design on the back — crafted to elegantly encapsulate the upgraded camera system. We even reimagined the side buttons and speaker arrangement to feel more familiar.

Vibrant hues. Stunning views


Everything on screen is lifelike with the high-resolution Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Details are crisp and clear with a wide range of vivid colours and true blacks thanks to HDR10+ enhanced visuals and smooth scrolling at up to 120Hz refresh rate.

Level up your play
with epic, cinematic visuals


The Galaxy Tab S9 Series delivers an engrossing, photo-realistic gaming experience on the Tab's expansive screen for marathon playthroughs. The experience is heightened with immersive audio from the quad AKG speaker system and Dolby Atmos surround sound.

Our first water and dust–resistant Galaxy S tablet


When the day gets tough, the Galaxy Tab S9 Series stays sturdy and durable. The smooth metal design is suited up with our strongest Armor Aluminum frame —Â living up to its name by protecting your tablet from shocks and drops. And the IP68 rating means it's our first water and dust-resistant Galaxy Tab S Series.

S Pen. Stronger, faster, more responsive


We rebuilt the included S Pen to be IP68 water resistant just like the tablet. It's also improved across the board, with enhanced tip sensitivity for less accidental clicks. And with the magnetic attachment and bidirectional charging, just snap it on to charge.

Enhanced outdoor viewing with Vision Booster


Vision Booster lets you see your screen clearly in brightly lit areas thanks to an intelligent outdoor algorithm that detects the sun's glow and shifts to match. Go between the studio and patio with ease thanks to contrast and colour enhancements to keep things vibrant.

Next–gen processor for next–level, lifelike gaming


The extremely fast Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor is intelligently engineered to deliver revved–up performance and power savings for champion-level gameplay. The graphics engine powers true–to–life reflections and shadows in 3D gaming environments for immersive gaming.

Stay creative on the move with a long–lasting battery


Keep the creative juices flowing with the long-lasting battery. It's got enough power to get you through your day and even spare some in case your phone needs a boost, too. Plug in your Samsung Galaxy smartphone with a USB–C cable and Fast Charging takes care of the rest.
