I have been using this from s8 ultra model. I don't see much difference between S9 ultran and S8 ultra. I wouldn't buy S9 unless I cracked s8 model. Samsung needs to focus more on user experience rather than hardware benchmark.
While boasting impressive specifications, ultimately fails to justify its exorbitant price. Performance is underwhelming, with frequent lag during multitasking, and the battery life is a big disappointment. No charger. The design is generic, lacking the premium feel expected at this price point. Competing devices offer better features and value, making this tablet a regrettable investment for most consumers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had a fairly recent iPad pro, but made the phone switch to the Z Fold 6. After that my wife asked if I had considered the Samsung tablets. She was considering a new iPad, but encouraged to get a Samsung tab and then she would take my iPad. I have to say I love the Tab S9 Ultra! I'm so glad she gave me a little push. I find the extra size works perfectly for my use case. But compared side to side, the larger S9 Ultra also feels lighter than the iPad pro - perfect for when I'm on the go.
Not good battery performance compared to tab 8 ultra
