Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G

The Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G is Samsung's mid-range 11-inch Android tablet with cellular data built in. The 1920 x 1200 LCD runs at 90Hz, which feels smoother than the 60Hz panels on most budget tablets, and the 7,040 mAh battery plus quad speakers make it a solid video and browsing machine. It suits students, commuters and families who want a big screen with mobile data without flagship money. Against rivals like the Lenovo Tab P11 and Amazon Fire Max 11, it wins on 5G and Samsung's long update policy but loses on display quality and charging speed.
