SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G 11” 64GB Android Tablet, Wi-Fi (US Cellular Network), Big Screen, Upgraded Chipset, Long Battery Life, Quad Speakers, Multi Window Display, US Version, 2024, Graphite

I had a 9 inch before but it was slow and laggy. I decided to get a better one and found this. I was not sure if the screen would be too large for me. What I found is I personally love it. It is absolutely awesome for both on road and off road navigation. I loved being able to see way down my route and it was nice and fast so finding the next gas or food stop to add to my route was a breeze. I also really like that you can split the screen three ways and when doing so all my apps worked well. I do not like in dash screen headunits so I purposely bought an old style with buttons and knobs. So for me I was able to place the tablet low where it blocks most of the headunit so it does not block my view at all of the road. I stream exclusively so really all I need is my steering wheel controls. The 11 inch screen is big though and many, if not most, will probably not like it as much as I do. For me it was a dream. I do have a data plan and bought the one for my service. I have not had any issues. The sim card went right in and was working, giving me 5G service. I do always download offline maps for my trips and on my last one that took me way out and without service the GPS of the tablet was great and never once did it not know where we were. Made the trip a breeze. Personally, I prefer using a tablet like this instead of a in dash screen for a few reasons. First, I can take it with me. I can take if from vehicle to vehicle and then take it inside my tent, hotel room, house, etc. So, I have everything right there in one place. That brings me to my second reason of planning. I can have it with me anywhere and plan my route and trips right there. So if we stop to eat and I want to change some things and or check some things out I can easy and without having to sync anything or sitting in my vehicle. Third, I love that I can have it facing me. I hate how a in dash screen points straight back and prefer to have it facing me for the best view. This just works for me and I prefer it. I do use the tablet for other things like cruising the web, and it does that well too. My last one I mainly only used for nav and kept the app count low to try and keep it as quick as possible. That has not been an issue with this one and now watching a movie or show is much better on the much larger screen.

It works great and is fast doesn’t lag

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 is a true standout in the budget tablet space. I recently purchased one for everyday use, and it has exceeded all of my expectations. The moment you pick it up, the sleek and modern design is apparent. It feels premium and solid, far more so than its price would suggest. The display is where this tablet truly shines. For a budget device, the screen is bright, clear, and vibrant, making it an absolute joy for streaming movies, browsing the web, or reading. The performance is smooth and responsive, handling multiple apps and light gaming without any lag. The battery life has been excellent as well, easily getting me through a full day of heavy use. What sets the Galaxy Tab A9 apart is its incredible value. It delivers a high-quality experience without the high-end price tag. It's the perfect device for anyone who wants a reliable, versatile, and well-made tablet for media consumption and daily tasks. If you're looking for a tablet that punches well above its weight, the Galaxy Tab A9 is an easy recommendation.

I purchased this for my son. It works well for him. Great screen size and good sound quality.

This Tablet was listed with 3 carriers - T-Mobil, US Cellular, and Verizon. I purchased the one that was supposed to be conected to T-Mobil. However the tablet was locked and could not be activated. I took it to a T-Mobil tech team and they spent around 4 hours trying to get it activated without success. Aparently T-Mobile bought US Cellular and so their website is pretty dead. Can't get ahold of anyone there, no tech support of any kind. We called Samsung and they just put us on hold for 45 minutes and then the phone went dead. So now I'm stuck with a worthless device and money down the drain.
