Samsung’s latest budget tablet gets 5G & ships with free cover

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is now shipping in the US with a free book cover, which protects the device from scratches and doubles as a stand.

Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab A9+ back in October 2023 and it’s finally shipping. It comes with an affordable price along with 5G support, which is rare for tablets around its price.

You can also pick up the Wi-Fi-only variant if you don’t see yourself traveling much with the device. Galaxy Tab A9+ is up for grabs on both Amazon and Best Buy with a free book cover worth $50.

Galaxy Tab A9+ appears to be a good value for money with its large display and equally large battery. It packs a dependable Snapdragon 695 chip and a decent camera setup. Of course, it’s no match for the flagship Galaxy Tab S9 (which is currently $245 off). But if you’re an undemanding user, the Galaxy Tab A9+ might be worth considering.

Price, availability, and features

Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab A9+ with a starting price of $219. This is for the Wi-Fi-only variant with 4GB RAM / 64GB storage. The A9+ with a cellular connection costs $269, and you can choose from T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and US Cellular versions.

The cellular variant only comes with 4GB RAM / 64GB storage while the Wi-Fi version is also offered with 8GB RAM / 128GB of storage. You can buy the device in navy, graphite, or silver color options.

Galaxy Tab A9+ has a large 11-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate. There’s a 5MP front camera for video calls and an 8MP rear camera for clicking pictures (if you really have to). A 7,040mAh battery fuels the tablet with support for 15W wired charging.

The tablet runs Android 13 with OneUI 5.1 on top. You should also be able to update it to Android 14.
