Hot off the launch of their Galaxy FE devices, Samsung has introduced the new Galaxy Tab A9 series. Two tablets that come in below the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series take a focused approach to providing an immersive entertainment experience. Available in two sizes, this series combines immersive video and audio with ultra-fast connectivity, catering to both entertainment and productivity needs in a sleek and portable package.

The Galaxy Tab A9 and A9+ are equipped with the largest screens ever seen in any Galaxy A series tablet, boasting 8.7 and 11-inch displays, respectively. The Galaxy Tab A9+ also comes with a higher refresh rate of 90Hz. It also comes with quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos for immersive sound. Ultra-fast 5G connectivity ensures uninterrupted streaming on the go. The Galaxy Tab A9, however, only features Dual speakers and LTE connectivity. Both tablets sport sleek, unibody designs with soft-textured back covers for comfortable handling.

The Galaxy Tab A9+ comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G while the A9 comes with a MediaTek Helio G99 processor. Both of the tables come with up to 128GB of internal storage and up to 8GB of RAM. Like other Samsung tablets, the Galaxy Tab A9+ and Tab A9 come with Samsung DeX for a more productivity-focused interface. They also come with Multi-active window which supports up to three apps running simultaneously.

For the first time, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A series will be able to connect seamlessly across Galaxy devices. This includes smartphones, tablets, TV and monitors. Like other Samsung devices, the tablets in the A series feature Samsung Knox for added data security. The Security & Privacy Dashboard gives users insight and control over their data.

Samsung Kids provides a secure digital environment on the Tab A series according to Samsung. Parents and caregivers can easily monitor and control children’s activities, set playtime limits, access settings, and manage content.
