Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Tablet in review – The gap filler

Unlike the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, the smaller Galaxy Tab S9 FE only has one camera on the back, which has a maximum resolution of 8 MPix. A 12 MPix camera is used on the front. The camera app is clearly laid out but still offers a Pro mode. However, only the white balance, light value, and ISO can be changed in this mode.

There are differences between the two cameras when it comes to video. The selfie cam can record at a maximum of UHD and 30 FPS, while the rear camera can record at a maximum of FHD and 30 FPS. White balance, EV, and ISO can also be changed in Video Pro mode.

The app also offers a mode for night, food, panorama, and slow-motion shots. Samsung also provides an “AR zone” for AR stickers and AR emojis. “Bixby Vision” is Samsung’s counterpart to Google Lens.

The image quality is fine in good lighting conditions. However, the images lack detail. In low light, textures disappear, and some areas are so dark that they are barely recognizable. Zoom shots are usable at 2x zoom, but the software overdraws the images considerably at higher zoom levels. More than four times zoom is not possible with the tablet, which also applies to our comparison images.

The color deviation of the images is good in bright light. In low light (1 lux), the camera is overwhelmed, and image content is not recognizable.
