For those wondering, the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC is an entry-level chipset. It can handle day-to-day apps and some less-intensive apps without any issues. That means you can expect to get a fairly decent entertainment experience with the Galaxy Tab A9. Also, the tablet packs Dolby Atmos, which offers immersive and rich audio.
Samsung has paired that chipset with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The base model, however, features 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. While the 64GB of internal storage is bad news, the good part is that the tablet has support for a microSD card slot. You can expand the storage with it.
In terms of software, the Galaxy Tab A9 runs on Android 13. And on top of that, the tablet should come with One UI 5.1, which is Samsung’s Android skin. It will bring a couple of Samsung features, such as Quick Share, Continue Apps, and Auto Sync. Besides, the tablet features a single camera on the back and a selfie shooter on the front.
