Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Bright screen and tough IP68 aluminium body
  • S Pen included; microSD slot
  • Decent sound and cameras in good light
  • Long update support
  • Very long battery: 17 h in PCMark, two to three days of moderate use
  • Pen in the box, IP68 rating
  • Bright enough for sunlight

Cons

  • Slows down with only a few browser tabs open
  • Charging takes nearly 3 h
  • LCD rather than OLED; slight flicker at very low brightness
  • Far behind the regular Tab S9 for games
  • Heavy games only at low settings and it heats up
  • Pen lag makes detailed drawing frustrating
  • Speakers harsh at high volume
  • NotebookcheckDec 2023

    A well-built, bright mid-range tablet with pen and long support, but the mid-range chip and slow storage hold it back.

  • DigitecJan 2024

    A sensible mid-ranger whose battery life and included pen make up for a weak chip.
