SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition 11” 64GB WiFi Android Tablet, Long Battery Life, Expandable Storage, Slim & Lightweight, Kid-Friendly Durable Puffy Cover, US Version, Red by Samsung

Surprisingly snappy and nice given the price point. Usually, lower-end tablets tend to be laggy, have poor resolution screens, and/or low/slow storage, but this actually feels more premium than you’d expect. I don’t plan on playing games on it, but it does play the few I’ve tried smoothly.

The screen, while not IPS, is still quite nice. Plenty bright and doesn’t look washed out as most lower-priced screens tend to be. And the 1920×1200 resolution is nice too. Text looks crisp and clear. Many lower-end tablets cheap out on the resolution and I think 1080 is the absolute lowest acceptable resolution on a screen this size, so 1200 is pretty good.

I chose the version with 8GB RAM because I didn’t want it to make up for lack of memory by using storage (many cheap tablets do this), which is slower than RAM and wears out the flash storage faster. But my daughter has the version with 4GB of RAM and it seems to work pretty good too. She hasn’t really stressed it so I would suspect it would not do as well with memory-intensive apps, or frequently switching between many apps.

The additional SDCard storage capability is good if you want to put a bunch of music and videos/movies for a trip. It will NOT use the SDCard to augment/add to internal storage though – meaning, you can’t set it to install most apps to it. You CAN set the cameras to store to the SDcard though, so that’ll help save internal storage space if you plan to take a lot of pics/vids. I put in a 256GB card pre-formatted as exFat and it read it fine. You can either have the tablet format a fresh card, or do it on a PC beforehand.

My main purpose for this is a bedside e-book reader, and the battery management feature on this is a HUGE plus. Since it is plugged in pretty much all the time, the battery would sit at 100% constantly. Well, that’s not healthy for a battery. But this tablet has an intelligent battery management that will automatically set the max charge percentage for you if it sees it being plugged in all the time, or allows you to manually set the max charge percentage. Mine is set to 80%, which is good for battery longevity. It also lets you disable fast-charging, which tends to stress the battery, so it’s best to disable it if you don’t really need it. My Samsung phone (s24) has these features too, but a phone sees much more off-charger use, so it’s not as useful in my opinion.

Another minor feature I find handy is the ability to double-tap the screen to turn it on. This saves wear and tear on the physical button. Most newer devices have this feature, so probably a minor thing, but my old tablet didn’t have it and it’s a nice feature to have.

I honestly think the A9+ is the sweet spot between price, performance, and features. The price is attractive and you really aren’t sacrificing or compromising on much. Sure, it maybe can’t compete against a high-end tablet, but at less than half the price, that’s fine with me. And if you *need* a high-end tablet, you might as well spend a few extra dollars for a full laptop.

Great value. Performance is what I expected. A bit of a lag due to memory limitations but overall can’t beat the value for the price

This A9+ Samsung tablet is top notch! It’s quick and screen is sensitive and colors are bright with great resolution! Battery life is good but charging is a bit slower than I expected! I purchased a high speed power adapter (18watt)for it and that seemed to speed charging up significantly!
Tablet graphics work great for all the games I use! My wife uses a powered Stylus with hers and it works great for drawing and writing notes!
Overall we are both pleased with our new Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ tablets and feel Samsung is a great choice for tablets! On sale right now from Amazon for $159 and that’s a great deal for this quality device!

I picked the WiFi version up in mid March 2025 for my 6 year old during a special after her tablet was cracked in an accident caused by her sister. I got this because its not exactly top of the line but it has a good balance power and performance, and I read many good reviews on it claiming the very same.

When I gave this tablet to my daughter, she was excited. The first thing she noticed was the screen was almost 3 inches bigger than her previous tablet. She was so happy to have a tablet close in size to mine, and from the same company. lol (she’s a daddy’s girl and Samsung is my thing)
She also noticed that her new tablet is so much faster than her previous tablet. She celebrated by downloading some of her favorite games from the google play store that her last tablet could not run without issue. I opted for the 12 GB ram model, which of you decide to pick one up, you should definitely do the same. It made the entire experience of this tablet so much better and smoother.

The screen has amazing color richness for what I paid. I honestly figured for the price I paid, this was going to be just another washed out, low spec, disposable tablet. So many of the cheaper new tablets you see these days lack in some areas to justify boosts in others. Didn’t take long to find out that this was not the case for this one. While you’re not going to be playing games like Genshin Impact or CoD Mobile on ultra high settings, you can play most games on medium and a lot on higher settings with ease.

My daughter does not stream movies on her tablet, so widevine support was not one of the specs I worried about when selecting this tablet. If you are into that and need your tablet to stream movies in high resolution, make sure to check the widevine level first. Low support could be a deal breaker for some people.

Battery life seems to be quite good. On a full charge, she can usually get multiple days at a few hours per days before needing to plug in. She uses the tablet for everything from school work, light gaming, and her favorite thing.. searching for the definition of words she hears throughout the day and attempting to use them in sentences. Makes for interesting conversations.. lol

Since this and many tablets and phones these days do not come with chargers, its best to find a decent one with multiple charging speeds starting at the lowest. Thats what I did and the tablet uses the fastest output that is needed for fast charge, you just need to be sure the charger you pick has multiple speeds if you don’tpick up a specific charger from Samsung. I used a 45w charger that clocks all the way down to charge low demand items, like my headphones. That charges my tablet at 45

An additional note: If you decide to get this tablet, be sure to pick up a fast, large capacity Micro SD card. I got myself a Samsung card directly from Samsungs site. I added a Samsung PRO Plus 512 GB microSDXC to my tablet and a 128 to my daughters.

Now, the only thing I can honestly say i do not like about the A9+. The camera.. my daughter thinks its great, but she came from a tablet with a barely functioning camera to the A9+. She is just happy to be able to take pictures that don’t look they were taken in the deep end of a swimming pool. lol
Now if your thing is taking a lot of pictures at good quality, this really is not the device for you. But keep in mind, most of these tablets are not focused on camera quality like today’s phones. They put most of their R&D into the hardware specs of the tablet and skimp on the camera quality. You want good quality photos in a tablet, you get a newer iPad or Galaxy S9 or S10 series (minus the FE). The S9 FE is a decent tablet, its just that Samsung spent most of that budget on improved hardware related to performance, not camera quality.

Ele é ótimo pra coisas simples, ele n seria ideal pra encher de aplicativos, arquivos e coisas q possa pesar ele, ele é ideia pra caso vc não possa ter nada muito avançado, mas também precisa de algo bom, o modelo dele trava muito, de primeira após aberto já aprensetou travar mt, mas não me incomodou e não atrapalhou, ele é ótimo de verdade,eu estou feliz com ele pq vai suprir minhas necessidades que não são mts, ent ele vale mt a pena, chegou na data prescrita e chegou em perfeito estado, não tenho reclamações. Agradeço pela compra pq com certeza valeu muito a pena
