Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ (Wi-Fi, 4 GB / 64 GB) / Apple iPad Air (4th generation) Wi-Fi

The size is measured as a full rectangle without the rounded corners, so the visible area is slightly smaller. 90 Hz makes scrolling look smoother than on 60 Hz screens.

Full lamination removes the gap between glass and panel, so the Apple Pencil tip looks closer to the line and reflections drop. True Tone adjusts white balance to ambient light. The refresh rate is 60 Hz; ProMotion is reserved for the iPad Pro.

Samsung’s spec table does not name the chip; it may differ by market.

Usable storage is less than 64 GB because of preloaded software; 8 GB + 128 GB is a separate configuration.

The typical value is the average of the battery samples tested; real battery life depends on screen brightness and apps.

There is no charger in the box; a compatible adapter is needed to reach 15 W.

The front camera is used for video calls and the rear one for documents and quick shots; neither lists optical stabilisation.

This Wi-Fi model has no SIM slot or mobile data.

The four speakers are split between both sides for stereo sound when the tablet is held horizontally.

Knox is Samsung’s on-device security platform, covering encryption and enterprise management features.

The 5G model weighs 491 g.

Colour options can vary by market; the hardware is the same.

The keyboard cover attaches to the contact points on the tablet’s bottom edge.

Capacity is chosen at purchase; there is no memory card slot.

The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) pairs and charges when attached to the magnetic connector on the side. The Smart Connector links keyboards that need no separate charging or Bluetooth.

The Wi-Fi model has no built-in GPS; location comes from Wi-Fi networks.

USB-C is used for charging, connecting to a computer and, with suitable accessories, for external displays or storage.
