Performance

Under the hood, the Fan Edition S9 tabs house an in-house Exynos 1380 chipset. This 5nm fabbed SoC powers the recently released Samsung Galaxy F54. It features four Cortex A78 cores running at 2.4GHz and four Cortex A55 cores clocking at 2.0GHz. Handling the graphics is a Mali G68 MP5 GPU.

Meanwhile, there are two variants for both siblings. The vanilla S9 FE arrives with 6/128GB and 8/256GB options, while the Plus model is available with 8/128GB and 12/256GB trims. Nonetheless, you can expand the storage via a microSD card. On the software side, the tabs boot on OneUI 5.1, built on top of Android 13.

Camera

Getting to the optics, the Plus version sports a dual camera setup on the rear side— 8MP primary + 8MP ultrawide units. While the vanilla variant bears a single 8MP main camera. For selfies and video calls, both tabs rely on a 12MP ultrawide front-facing camera with a 120˚ field of view (FoV).

Battery and Others

Moving on, the Tab S9 FE and FE+ are powered by 8000mAh and 10090mAh batteries, respectively, with 45W fast charging support.
