Notebookcheck: Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ reviewMost reviews on Best Buy Canada are syndicated from Best Buy US and were collected as part of a promotion; the general view is that it is an adequate video and web tablet for the money. Slowness is the main criticism: jade02 and NaanaG find the tablet and touch response slow, and Lizzy finds the resolution, refresh rate and camera weak. KRISTIM says the tablet stopped turning on and charging before a year, and LFFL says it stopped charging after one month. LadyMG says it kept dropping off the home 5 GHz network and they had to switch to 2.4 GHz. In a review syndicated from Samsung US, Nannys Sad S9 says the battery runs out after a couple of hours of games.
