Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 11-inch Android Tablet, 90Hz WUXGA Display, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage, Quad Speakers, 7040mAh, Graphite (UAE Version)

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is an 11-inch Android tablet with a 90Hz screen, quad speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos, a 7,040 mAh battery and a headphone jack. This is the UAE version with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Three things it does not have are worth knowing before you buy, and all three are in the first sections below rather than buried at the bottom.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ does not support the S Pen

This is the first thing to say because it is the most common wrong assumption about Samsung tablets. The S Pen works on the Galaxy Tab S series. It does not work on the A series, and Samsung lists no S Pen support for the Galaxy Tab A9+.

A generic capacitive stylus, the kind with a rubber tip that works on any touchscreen, will let you tap and scribble. What you will not get is pressure sensitivity, palm rejection or the near-zero latency that makes the S Pen feel like a pen. For handwritten notes in a lecture or sketching, that difference is the whole thing.

If a stylus is the reason you are shopping for a tablet, this is the wrong one and we would rather say so on the product page than have you find out after it arrives. If you want a large, fast, cheap screen for reading, video, browsing and light work, keep reading, because it is very good at those.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ screen is 90Hz, and it is an LCD

Both halves of that sentence matter. Samsung publishes an 11-inch TFT panel at 1920 x 1200, which is WUXGA, running at up to 90 Hz.

The 90 Hz is the good news and it is unusual at this price. Most budget tablets are stuck at 60 Hz, and the difference is not subtle: scrolling a web page or a photo library on a 90 Hz screen is visibly smoother, and once you are used to it a 60 Hz tablet feels sticky. For a tablet you hold and scroll on for hours, this is the specification that changes the daily experience most.

TFT means LCD, not AMOLED. Blacks are dark grey rather than black, and contrast is lower than the Tab S series or a modern phone. In a bright room you will not notice. Watching a dark film at night, you will. Samsung does not put AMOLED in the A series and the price is the reason.

1920 x 1200 across 11 inches works out to roughly 205 pixels per inch. Text is clean at normal viewing distance. It is not a retina-class panel and it is not trying to be.

Wi-Fi 5 and USB 2.0 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, and when they bite

Samsung publishes 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac on 2.4 and 5 GHz. That is Wi-Fi 5. Not Wi-Fi 6, not 6E, not 7. Bluetooth is version 5.1.

On a quiet home network with a decent router, Wi-Fi 5 streams 4K video without blinking and you will never think about it. Where it shows up is a building full of competing networks, which describes most apartment towers in Dubai and Sharjah. Wi-Fi 6 handles congestion better than Wi-Fi 5 does, and that is the real-world difference rather than peak speed.

The USB port is USB 2.0. That is 480 megabits per second, which is about 60 MB/s in practice. Copying a two-hour 4K video off the tablet to a laptop takes minutes rather than seconds. For charging and for syncing photos it is fine. For moving large files regularly it is the slowest part of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+.

On the other side of the ledger, there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Most tablets at every price have dropped it. Any wired headphones work, with no dongle and no charging.

Battery, speakers and sound on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ battery is 7,040 mAh, which is large for an 11-inch tablet and is the reason this one lasts through a long flight or a full school day on video.

Samsung does not publish a charging wattage for this model on its own specification pages, and we are not going to print a number it has not stated. What we can tell you from experience is that a large battery on a modest charger takes a while, so charge it overnight rather than expecting a top-up over lunch.

Samsung also does not publish a box contents list for the Galaxy Tab A9+. Message us with your order and we will open the box in the warehouse and tell you exactly what is inside, including whether a wall charger is there, before it ships.

Audio is the quiet standout. Four speakers at 1.2 W each with Dolby Atmos tuning. Four speakers means real stereo whichever way you hold it, and on a device people mostly use for video and video calls that matters more than another tenth of a gigahertz. This is the part of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ that feels more expensive than it is.

Performance and storage on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

Samsung publishes an octa-core processor with clusters at 2.2 GHz and 1.8 GHz. It does not name the chipset on its own specification sheet, so neither do we.

This listing is the 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage version, and Samsung states 103.8 GB of that is actually available to you once Android and the preinstalled apps have taken their share. That gap is normal on every tablet and phone, and most listings quietly print the bigger number.

8 GB of RAM in this class is generous. It is what keeps a dozen browser tabs, a video call and a document open at once without the tablet dumping things out of memory and reloading them when you switch back.

Storage expands by microSD up to 1 TB, and this is the practical answer to the storage question. A 512 GB card costs a fraction of what the equivalent built-in storage costs on any tablet. Downloaded films, photo libraries and offline maps go on the card. Apps mostly stay on internal storage.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is a comfortable machine for browsing, video, email, documents, video calls and casual games. It is not a video editing machine and it is not a gaming tablet for the most demanding titles at full settings.

Cameras and build on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ has 8 MP on the back with autofocus, 5 MP on the front, and video recording at 1920 x 1080 and 30 frames per second on both.

Be clear about what that means: no 4K video. If you plan to film anything serious, your phone is better and it is not close. The rear camera on a tablet is for scanning a document, photographing a whiteboard or a receipt, and it does those well because it has autofocus, which cheaper tablets often skip.

The front camera is the one that matters, because this is a device people hold up for video calls. 5 MP at 1080p is fine for Teams, Zoom and WhatsApp.

The body is 257.1 by 168.7 mm and 6.9 mm thick, at 480 grams. That is a large-screen tablet that is still light enough to hold one-handed for a while, and thin enough to disappear in a bag. It is 11 inches, so it will not fit in a jacket pocket, and it is a two-hand device for long reading sessions.

Who the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is not for

Not for anyone who wants an S Pen. The A series does not support it. That is the Tab S series.

Not for anyone who wants an AMOLED screen. This is TFT, which is LCD, with the lower contrast that comes with it.

Not for 4K video recording. Both cameras top out at 1080p and 30 frames per second.

Not for a Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 network you specifically want to use. This is Wi-Fi 5 with Bluetooth 5.1.

Not for moving large files over cable regularly. The port is USB 2.0, which is roughly 60 MB/s in practice.

Not for demanding games at maximum settings. The processor and the LCD panel are built to a price and that price is not a gaming price.

Not for a jacket pocket. This is an 11-inch tablet at 257 by 169 mm.

And not for anyone who needs to know exactly what is in the box before ordering without asking us, because Samsung does not publish a contents list for this model and we will not invent one. Message us and we will check the actual box.

Buying the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ in the UAE

This listing is the UAE version, which means it is the regional retail variant rather than a grey import brought in from another market. That matters for software updates, for the regional app and service configuration, and for the paperwork.

What you are buying at this price is a big 90 Hz screen, four real speakers, a large battery, 8 GB of RAM, a headphone jack and a microSD slot that can take 1 TB. For reading, video, video calls, school and browsing, very little else in the price bracket puts that combination together.

We ship across the Emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman from locally held stock, so delivery takes days. Units are genuine Samsung retail items in sealed packaging.

Warranty is one year from Totot against manufacturing defects. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ product title carries no TDRA registration, so no separate agent warranty applies to it, and we prefer to state that plainly rather than let you assume coverage that does not exist. Our 14-day return policy covers defective or non-conforming items.

Every figure on this page comes from Samsung own published specification sheets for the Galaxy Tab A9+ (model SM-X210). Where Samsung publishes no figure, such as the chipset name, the charging wattage or a box contents list, we say so rather than borrow a number from a marketplace listing. Full details are published on the official Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ specification page.

FAQ

Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ support the S Pen?

No. Samsung lists no S Pen support for the A series. The S Pen works on the Galaxy Tab S series. A generic capacitive stylus will tap and scribble but gives you no pressure sensitivity or palm rejection.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ screen AMOLED?

No, it is a TFT LCD panel at 1920 x 1200 running up to 90 Hz. The 90 Hz refresh rate is genuinely unusual at this price and makes scrolling noticeably smoother. The LCD means lower contrast than an AMOLED, which shows in a dark room and not in a bright one.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ have Wi-Fi 6?

No. Samsung publishes 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, which is Wi-Fi 5, on 2.4 and 5 GHz, with Bluetooth 5.1. On a quiet home network you will not notice. In a crowded apartment tower with many competing networks, Wi-Fi 6 handles congestion better.

Can I add more storage to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+?

Yes, microSD up to 1 TB. Samsung states 103.8 GB of the 128 GB internal storage is actually available after Android and the preinstalled apps. A large microSD card is the cheap way to hold films, photos and offline maps.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ record 4K video?

No. Both cameras record at 1920 x 1080 and 30 frames per second. The rear camera is 8 MP with autofocus, which is good for scanning documents and whiteboards, and the front is 5 MP, which is what matters for video calls.

How big is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ battery?

7,040 mAh, which is large for an 11-inch tablet. Samsung does not publish a charging wattage for this model, so we do not state one. Charge it overnight rather than expecting a quick top-up.

Is a charger included in the box?

Samsung does not publish a box contents list for this model, so we will not guess. Message us with your order and we will open the box in the warehouse and tell you what is inside before it ships.

Is this the UAE version?

Yes. This is the regional retail variant rather than a grey import from another market, which matters for software updates and for the regional service configuration.
