The Galaxy Tab A9 exists for one reason: to be the tablet you don't worry about handing to a kid or leaving on a plane seat. At well under $200, it trades the AMOLED panels and flagship chipsets of Samsung's S-series for a straightforward 8.7-inch TFT LCD display and a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset that handles streaming, browsing, and light apps without complaint.
The 5,100 mAh battery comfortably covers a full day of video playback, and 15W USB-C charging means it uses the same cable as most modern Android phones — no proprietary charger to misplace.
For anyone whose primary tablet use case is Netflix, YouTube, and web browsing rather than productivity or gaming, the Tab A9 covers the basics without the premium price tag.
