Following in the footsteps of the early 2022-released Galaxy Tab S8 trio, of course, the super-premium Tab S9, Tab S9 Plus, and Tab S9 Ultra could well see daylight sooner than that, a theory which seems at least partially supported by the abundance of recent rumors and leaks.
What does this all mean?
Although you can never rely on this type of stuff to suggest a launch schedule for an unannounced gadget (or three), such noise and frantic movement on the rumor and gossip front is very rarely associated with a product set to be released four months down the line.
The Tab S9+ will almost surely pack 12 gigs of RAM and an ultra-high-end chip.
Naturally, that’s little more than speculation on our part, which is not what we can say about the 12GB RAM count of one particular Tab S9+ variant benchmarked with higher single and multi-core performance scores than the Galaxy S23 handset roster.
Perhaps more interestingly, the two upper-tier configurations are likely to adopt blazing fast UFS 4.0 storage while the entry-level Tab S9 Ultra model should settle for slower but still perfectly acceptable UFS 3.1 technology.
What else do we know?
The Tab S9+ looks extremely similar to the Tab S8+ in these leaked factory CAD-based renders.
Don’t forget about the Galaxy Tab S9 FE either, which is a lower-end and undoubtedly lower-cost model that’s mostly shrouded in secrecy at the moment, seemingly packing a middling Exynos 1380 SoC and presumably aiming to give Apple’s latest “standard” iPad and iPad Air a run for their money with a competitive price point and huge display.
