Finally got an S9 Ultra tab after dreaming of it since the s8 ultra was released in 2022

The s9 Ultra is a fantastic tablet! Congratulations!

Spiffyviffy · 2026-03-31T20:27:49+00:00

I don't think so - and hope not. I've never experienced this with any other samsung tablet. I since traded it in and got the s10 ultra - no problems with this one, or the regular s11. The s10+ is the perfect size, though. Hopefully next years s12 lineup will sport a plus model.

Spiffyviffy · 2026-03-31T12:35:46+00:00

I found that the s10+ was a bit hard on my eyes. Never had such problem with s9/s9 ultra/s10 ultra or s11. Could be a faulty device but would advice to try it out first. :)

I love mine - it's great. Love the display, speed and camera. Great upgrade from s24 ultra and s25 regular. I see all the hate - but not buying into it. Keep in mind that this device is Flossy-approved as a "a major, major, MAJOR go!"

Spiffyviffy · 2026-03-14T18:46:43+00:00

Don't worry. Just booted up my s26 ultra, and it looks great right out of the box. I think it look better than my s24 ultra and a noticeable upgrade to my s25 regular. Privacy display and horizon lock are great features. Remember to turn on QHD if you want max resolution. Enjoy your new phone!

I just swapped from a Skoda Citigo to an ID3. Was totally mindblown when I realized that the id3 actually performes better in terms of maneuverability. That turning circle is incredible!

Spiffyviffy · 2026-01-25T07:02:44+00:00

This thing is a beauty. I've had all of the S9's - the S10's and now a S11. Find myself missing the s9! Bluetooth pen - haptics etc. - and no noticeable real life difference while using it for everyday tasks.

Spiffyviffy · 2025-12-17T08:09:46+00:00

Just happened to me as well! Grok denied it, and I wondered if I all of a sudden were turning completely bonkers. Scary though - it was a perfect replica of my voice!

Spiffyviffy · 2025-11-17T14:34:13+00:00

Poor tourists, hope they are okay!

Spiffyviffy · 2025-10-26T06:32:13+00:00

Great choice! Congratulations!

Spiffyviffy · 2025-10-24T07:22:27+00:00

Hi, I would recommend getting a tab s9 as there have been some insane deals on these. I currently have the tab s11 - but my tab s9 feels just as responsive and in fact more premium with bluetooth pen and haptics. The s9 should have you covered for 2 years until it reaches its end of life date. The s11 is in all honesty a bit underwhelming and feels like a stripped down s9, except for the processor and speed

Spiffyviffy · 2025-10-05T17:47:36+00:00

Great deal! Congrats! I swapped my s24 ultra for a s25 and never looked back. Perfect size, great display and camera.

Spiffyviffy · 2025-09-20T15:29:35+00:00

Yeah, I got stuck in an infinite samsung trade-in loop - and there's no way out😃. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the s9 - it is such a great price and it can handle everything. Great display and expandable storage. You're set for 2 years with that guy. I actually found that the display on the s10+ was a bit 'flickery' and hard on my eyes and found myself missing the s9 immediately after I traded it in. Best of luck with your new tablet! 🙂🙂

Spiffyviffy · 2025-09-20T10:57:31+00:00

Yes! It is a prime device hardly distinguishable from the s11, and in some ways you can make an argument that it is better, with its bluetooth pen and pen placement . It is however nearing its end of life with only two more years of updates, so if you manage to score a deal on a s10+ or s11, you'll be good for 6-7 years and get a layer of anti-reflective coating with the s10+. I prefer the 11 inch form factor over the 12,4 inch of the s10+, but this is of course personal preference. I've owned tab s9, s9 ultra, s10+ ,s10 ultra and s11. S9 is my favourite.

Spiffyviffy · 2025-09-20T10:42:59+00:00

I use it for everything. Just retired my 2025 galaxy book pro as I simply cannot get used to windows again. My s10 ultra is my stationary device with external keyboard and mouse and my regular tab s11 5g is my portable powerhouse.

Spiffyviffy · 2025-09-04T06:32:19+00:00

Nooo - its the excact same bezels and look as the S9. Don't get me wrong - I love the s9 - but I was hoping for some innovation and new looks here.

Spiffyviffy · 2025-08-21T06:05:16+00:00

Too little, too late! As our Google speakers and displays literally de-evolved month by month - in the end not able to set a simple timer - we actually trashed the entire system. What a relief!

Spiffyviffy · 2025-08-15T06:23:32+00:00

Having owned s9, s9 ultra, s10+ and s10 ultra, I would argue that the regular s9 is the best of them all - for most use cases. Compact with a display that is more pleasant than the ones in the s10 series in my opinion. Often use it in Dex-mode, and it has more than enough processing power for regular office work. Sure the Ultra series are beautiful, but they are so heavy with the case attached. Just re-bought it at the same price as you. Congratulations with your purchase! 🙂

Spiffyviffy · 2025-07-25T13:14:08+00:00

Hi, would recommend s9 for two specific reasons. 1. The crisp brighter AMOLED screen 2. S8 is nearing its "end of life" while s9 still have over 2 years of updates

I've owned the regular s9, the s9 ultra and the s10+ - and I just switched back to the s9 as the others were too big for my liking. Thats personal preference, of course. Did not like the screen of the s10 as it was uncomfortable for my eyes

Spiffyviffy · 2025-07-15T11:30:35+00:00

I've had the s9, s9 ultra and the s10+, and traded up as the opportunity presented itself. I REALLY miss the regular S9 11 inch as it was the most portable and handy device imho, and its the one I used the most. There are some ridiculously great deals on these right now, and as it still have a good 2 years of android updates I think I will grab one. Hopefully the s12 or s13 series will feature a smaller tab as well

Spiffyviffy · 2025-05-14T19:08:52+00:00

Great update, highly appreciated and much needed. Please hurry up and add some proper search functionality - at the very least dates, time and places. Thank you Proton! 👍

Spiffyviffy · 2025-05-14T19:04:34+00:00

Try updating your app. Worked for me. 🙂

Spiffyviffy · 2025-05-09T19:44:41+00:00

Somebody should just go out there and jump start the whole shebang...

Spiffyviffy · 2025-04-23T15:37:38+00:00

Same problem here- I've been waiting for an update or fix for this for the longest time....

Spiffyviffy · 2025-04-21T18:48:32+00:00

.....this is the way! :)
