During Samsung’s Unpacked event today, the company announced the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 phones, but that wasn’t all — it also presented a new Galaxy Tab S9 tablet lineup. The Galaxy Tab S9 starts at $799.99, while the S9 Plus and S9 Ultra start at $999.99 and $1,199.99, respectively. While they won’t be available until August 11th, you can preorder them — with the Galaxy S Pen included — starting today.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy version of Qualcomm’s top-tier processor, the new tablets are expected to be faster than the Tab S8 series from 2021. The Tab S9 tablets and S Pens are now IP68-rated for dust and water resistance, which is a feature we don’t often see in non-ruggedized tablets. Along with a more durable build, the Tab S9 lineup also features OLED displays that boast a 120Hz maximum refresh rate. All the tablets support Wi-Fi 6E as well, although only the Tab S9 Plus comes with 5G.
We’ll have a review of the tablets up soon, so stay tuned.
