Here’s your first live look at the Galaxy Tab S9 Fan Edition tablets

Not even two weeks have gone by since Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Watch 6, and Galaxy Tab S9, but we all know the Korean giant isn't one to stay idle and loves to launch new devices as often as possible.

In the near future, Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S23 FE and two Fan Edition variants of the Galaxy Tab S9. Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ leaks have been increasing in frequency over the last few weeks, suggesting we're getting close to the official announcement, and today, the first live images of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ have made their way online courtesy of Korean regulatory authorities.

Unfortunately, these images don't really tell us anything other than the fact that the two Tab S9 FE models will have different screen sizes and dimensions and will feature the usual design where the front side is largely covered by the display and a camera sits inside the bezel.

The Tab S9 FE and FE+ have a single front-facing camera like the base Galaxy Tab S9 model, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering the FE models are supposed to cost less than the non-FE models (though the price difference might be rather small). And frankly, it's a cost cutting measure we can get behind, as it doesn't really make a lot of sense to have two front-facing cameras on a tablet.

Naturally, a number of other specs will be downgraded as well. As you would expect, the chip that powers the tablets will be one casualty – benchmarks have confirmed that both devices will be powered by the Exynos 1380 chip, a considerable step down from the amazing Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found inside the flagship Galaxy Tab S9 lineup.

However, Samsung is unlikely to make any changes to the S Pen experience and should offer the same stylus features on the Tab S9 FE and FE+ as the Tab S9, S9+, and S9 Ultra. The same goes for the general software – both tablets will undoubtedly run Android 13 and One UI 5.1.1 out of the box but should get Android 14 and One UI 6.0 a couple of months after launch.
