Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, Android Tablet, Wifi, 64GB Storage Grey (Non-UK version)

Like a lot of others who have reviewed this tablet, I was a little apprehensive about the fact it was a non-UK version but I was tempted by the price.I was also a little concerned by some reviews that said the security sticker had been opened/removed when the tablet arrived (I would have just returned it on the spot).And yes, I was a bit bothered by the reviews that said you had to pick a region such as Australia or South Africa when setting up the tablet because that was the market it was intended for.None of that applied in my case.The box still had its shrink wrap and the security sticker was in place. When you start the set up process, you have to wait for English to scroll through but once that happened, I was able to chose the UK as my region and UK English as my language there was no messing around with Google trying to translate from Chinese.Setup was absolutely fine.It happily copied over all my files from my old Samsung Tab A7 and away I went, including seamlessly connecting to Wifi without me having to input passwords.Yes, there's some bloatware but you get that from almost all manufacturers now. Just delete what you can and park up what you can't.Some have said the A9 plus is heavy, but it's certainly lighter than the A7 it's replacing. It looks sleek and well made and the 64gb storage is more than enough for my purposes.Once everything was up and running, I checked the model number and it appears the tablet I have bought is the 'International' version - no mention of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South East Asia etc.Makes me wonder whether the retailer has had different versions for sale.Anyway, I'm delighted with it. Yes, it's not going to blow an £800 tab out of the water but this is pretty hard to beat at the price.

My wife’s generic Chinese tablet was getting a bit long in the tooth and was frustratingly slow, particularly on the internet, so the time had come for a replacement. I changed my phone from a cheap generic one to a Samsung A22 a few years ago and I’ve not regretted the decision so a Samsung tablet seemed the obvious choice. I also ordered a screen protector and a case, both of which are first-rate.Screen protector: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CGM5Z65BCase: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CD7HNF38Setup was not especially straightforward. Despite comments on other reviews, the region options did not include UK, just South-East Asia, Australia & New Zealand. I chose Australia as I had to choose something but it doesn’t seem to matter – the date and time zone are correct. Transferring apps and data from the old tablet wasn’t seamless as the old tablet had no QR scan facility and SmartSwitch was unable to connect via Wi-Fi and the supplied data transfer cable was USB-C on both ends (the old tablet has a micro-USB connection) so I had to do the transfer old-school via backups to the Google account. It worked Ok though but took a while with much messing about with WhatsApp and some older apps were not compatible.Once all setup this is a lovely tablet. Battery life is good, it feels robust and well made and has a large & responsive crystal-clear screen. It is very fast doing internet things which was the whole point so my Good Lady is well happy. On the whole excellent value for money and a most pleasing purchase.

It's not bad for the money. Good picture and colour. Easy to set up. Looks nice. It is a bit on the slow side compared to my phone which is an S series. But it is much cheaper than an S series Table so you make your choice and either pay more or learn to live with a slow tablet

as expected .....good inexpensive tablet...no complaints .. usefull... large clear screen...probably not top of the range but it,l do for me I like it

Easy to set up, does exactly what it should, and has great battery life. The price was making me wonder if this was a knockoff or some seconds, but I am so pleased with the tablet and its quality being a perfect and original samsung that I bought 2. It does everything the UK version does and was set up and running in just a few minutes. Good value for money and as always Samsung reliability.
