The Galaxy Tab S9, with a display screen size of 11 inches, internal storage of 128 GB, and 8 GB RAM, will cost around CAD 1,099 ($831). The Galaxy Tab S9+ will be priced at CAD 1,349 ($1,020), featuring a 12.4-inch screen size and a storage option of 256 GB with 8GB RAM.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series specs leaked ahead of launch at July 26
Last but not least, the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, with the combination of high memory and RAM storage, 256 GB + 12 GB, comes as the most expensive of all, with CAD 1,599($1,210)
Looking back at its predecessor, the Tab S8 series, the Galaxy Tab S8 had a launch price of CAD 899, Tab S8+ with CAD 1,149, and Tab S8 Ultra with CAD 1,399. The upcoming Tab S9 series price varies just a little bit from the S8 series. According to this information, Canadians will have to pay an extra CAD 200 for the Galaxy Tab S9 series. But this may not be the case if they purchase the Tab S9 series from Samsung or its retail partners, as some third-party shops impose this as a pre-release rate.
It will be interesting to watch how Samsung brings all the features within the price range. All three tablets from the S9 series are expected to have an IP68 certification, quad speakers, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, an optical fingerprint scanner, and compatibility with the S-Pen.
Samsung could give a pre-order bonus for the Galaxy Tab S9 series
Samsung usually proposes, on the occasion of the launch of new products, different types of bonuses to entice users to pre-order the devices coming to the market; today, we find out what could be the pre-order bonus for the next Samsung Galaxy Tab S9.
The company has always proposed special keyboards for its high-end tablets, often marketed at not-so-cheap prices, perhaps also by virtue of the expansion of the features offered to the tablet on duty; well, if you are considering buying a Galaxy Tab S9 series device, Roland Quandt may have news that will make you happy.
Quandt suggests that Samsung may have in mind a complimentary case with a keyboard included for users who decide to pre-order a Galaxy Tab S9 tablet between July 26 and August 10.
If what is reported by Quandt turns out to be correct, it would be a great bonus for users interested in buying, a device with a market value that is not negligible as a gift and that also greatly expands the functionality of the tablet on duty would be very interesting.
The first quarter of 2024 is already over; during this interval, Samsung has introduced several Galaxy smartphones of particular belonging, such as the flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, the mid-range ones, the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy F15, the budgetable ones, and many more. But the fact is, after being the latest smartphones, they have a lack of ‘charging speed.’
Undoubtedly, Samsung is leading the tech industry with its top-notch features, design, and larger batteries, as compared to other Android manufacturers, but despite all this, it has a massive lack of charging speed. Samsung usually attaches larger batteries to its Galaxy smartphones to enhance the users’ non-stop-using experience. But a larger battery isn’t worth it unless it has a good charging speed.
On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are equipping their smartphones with charging speeds north of 100W, whereas 45W is the maximum speed you can get on Galaxy smartphones. However, even 45W charging is quite rare among Galaxy phones. Samsung has launched most of the Galaxy devices in the last couple of years, including the flagship with support for 25W.
Here we are making things easy for you if you are looking to buy a Galaxy smartphone that debuted in 2024 with the support of 45W charging speed by mentioning a list of devices:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+
- Galaxy F55
- Galaxy M55
- Galaxy C55
The list is quite short, even considering that the Galaxy F55, M55, and C55 are just rebranded variants of the same smartphone for different regions. Now Samsung is setting up to launch its next-generation foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, in July, but it is yet to be confirmed whether these devices will get a boost in charging speeds from 25W or not.
