Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 22.10 cm (8.7 inch) Display, RAM 4 GB, ROM 64 GB Expandable, Wi-Fi Tablet, Graphite

No issues. Working as expected.

I wanted a 8-9 inch tab for reading. As an academic researcher and more or less a power user, I wanted to use the tab for reading research papers and probably transfer my reading experience from a laptop to a simple tab. This tab satisfies the purpose. Moreover, i don't see a Helio G99 level performance in any tab in the price range.Other than that,The cameras are cruel. They useless mostly, except for maybe very basic video conferencing. With such a bad read camera, I have no idea why it's has a camera bump. It could have been more low profile.The battery life is good. I have an LTE version, but I haven't put a sim in it yet. Probably it will be average to good if I use a sim card. I will be happy if the same battery capacity holds up for atleast 4 years.The screen resolution is good enough for reading and frequent binging. The brightness can go a bit lower in my opinion. It's too bright sometimes when I read in the dark.It's easy to carry. My main reason to buy a 8-9 inch tab. It's nearly no different than holding a phone.I use "Duet Display" to use it as a second screen to my laptop or desktop. It's useful sometimes.I would say my old iPad Air (1st Gen) was still better as it still had some juice left in it and the display was great. Galaxy A9 wont beat it in anything except the performance. It feels more fluid using the A9.Performance wise, it doesn't feel as snappy as my phone (Poco F1), ofcourse. But it's snappy enough. You can't compare it with the performance of this generation mid range mobile phones. If you want anything for AAA gaming, you better buy a mobile phone at this cost, not a tablet. Or, buy a tablet at Rs. 30k +.For me, it's a perfect compromise between reading in my laptop (14inch) and my mobile .I got my money's worth.Close competitors, it depends upon your use case. There might be Tabs with better display, but with slower processors. Like the realme pad, Mi Pad and Nokia T21. My niche was the size. You niche can be what you want.

This tablet is has a good enough display and built quality doesn't look cheap at all . Now no need to carry laptop everywhere.Camera are bad I mean

Good for go if proper discount and offer is pePresent

This review is not for product but the delivery and return process of amazon. Ordered this tablet and found out that this one is not charging at all, so called the amazon customer support and they said 'no worries, get a diagnostic report from samsung service centre and with that certificate, return the product'. So i went to samsung care and the guys over there helped getting me the diagnostic report certificate named "dead on arrival" (DOA).Now, i called the amazon customer support and they arranged pickup for return of tablet (with DOA certificate) and delivery of new tablet. And here comes the paradox... (Remember why i was returning the tablet? It wasn't charging, and so it was literally dead on battery)The delivery guy says he needs to see the IMEI number on the device in the 'about device' menu on the battery dead tablet, i said it is impossible since the tablet won't start. He said 'then I can not complete the process' and left.I again made a call to amazon customer service and the guy on the line said 'sir, you are our prime member, we'll have it sorted in 24 hrs' and again arranged the pickup + delivery.Again the loop started, the delivery guy wanted the IMEI number on dead tablet and without that he wouldn't process the delivery of new tablet.I was stuck in this paradox of showing IMEI number of the dead device by going to about section of device which needs it to get powered up first (that the tab obviously can't)But this delivery guy was considerate enough, he said, let's try putting it on charge and even if I get pic of that 'about device' menu that shows the IMEI number, I'll process the return right away. My luck struck the right chord over there and i was able to switch the tablet on in the Nth attempt (10+ attempts were made to charge the device but it would just vibrate once and then proceed to blackout) it started and with 1% battery indicating in the corner i got the IMEI number on the screen from the device setting and the delivery guy took picture of it and then the tablet died.I got the new tablet as replacement and it's working good.So who's at fault here for this headache? Amazon customer service said that the tablet will be replaced just with certificate, delivery team was more interested in starting the dead tablet to verify the IMEI number... So I guess it's the communication between the amazon and it's delivery team.

Budget friendly

I bought this tablet for my kidGood Thing- compact size- good for kids games & learningBad Thing- average battery backup- touch response is average, some time does not respond- screen clarity is above average- does not come with power adapter

Bought this tab after much thought. I was looking for tab - which is not much heavy. So far, it is working fine and is light weight compared to other brands!! Good display and speed. No regrets so far
