After their first debut abroad, Samsung was quick to bring the new FE devices to the Philippines, including the new Galaxy Tab S9 FE and S9 FE Plus.
As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE Plus have tons of similarities. They are both powered by an Exynos 1380 processor, with 5G connectivity options, AKG-tuned stereo speakers, 12-megapixel ultra-wide selfie cameras, and 45W fast charging.
But to make you buy the Plus version, Samsung has put in a bigger 12.4-inch 90Hz display, versus the 10.9 inches of the standard Tab S9 FE.
With a bigger display comes a larger 10,090mAh battery, as the vanilla only has 8,000mAh. As a bonus, it has a secondary rear camera: an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, while the vanilla settles for a single 8-megapixel rear shooter.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE has a 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage with a price of Php26,990 for the WiFi-only and Php31,990 for the 5G. Meanwhile, the Tab S9 FE Plus has an 8GB/128GB configuration with a price of Php32,990 for the WiFi-only and Php39,990 for the 5G. It will be available starting October 20 together with the Galaxy S29 FE.
