Good time to buy
Launched around $599 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model and has frequently dropped to the $450-$500 range during sales since 2024.

Good value, wish it had OLED
Love the size and the water resistance gives peace of mind. The LCD is fine but blacks are not as deep as my old OLED phone. Performance is adequate for browsing and notes. Solid buy at the sale price I got.

Great big tablet for the money
The screen is huge and perfect for Netflix and reading textbooks. The included S Pen is a nice touch for marking up PDFs. It is not the fastest thing out there but for what I do it never feels slow. Battery easily lasts a couple of days.

From the community
QDoes it support Samsung DeX?
Yes, it supports DeX for a more desktop-like multitasking experience, especially paired with a keyboard cover.
QHow long will it get software updates?
Samsung committed to several years of OS and security updates for the S9 FE line, so it should stay current well into the late 2020s.
Frequently asked
Does the S Pen come included?
Yes. Samsung includes the S Pen in the box, and it requires no battery or charging.
Is the screen OLED?
