All-day entertainment. 5G everywhere. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ (X216) is the mid-range 11-inch 5G tablet that brings a large smooth display, Dolby Atmos stereo sound, capable everyday performance, and the flexibility of 5G mobile data to a price point that makes a full-size Samsung tablet accessible for households, students, and remote workers who want a bigger screen than a phone without the flagship tablet price. The X216 is the global 5G model — compatible with 5G networks including UAE bands n77 and n78 used by du and Etisalat.

The 11-inch TFT LCD display at 1920×1200 resolution with 90Hz refresh rate is the display that makes this tablet noticeably smoother to use than standard 60Hz tablets for scrolling, browsing, and video playback. 90Hz means the display updates 50% faster than a 60Hz screen, producing smoother motion during page scrolls, app animations, and casual gaming. At 1920×1200 (WUXGA), the 16:10 aspect ratio is wider than phone screens and better suited to video content, split-screen multitasking, and document work at full size. The display covers 86.3% of the front face with a slim bezel design that makes the Tab A9+ feel more premium than its price suggests.

The Snapdragon 695 5G processor (SM6375, 6nm) handles the full range of everyday tablet tasks — streaming from Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+ in 1080p, video calls via WhatsApp and Teams, document editing in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, light gaming, and multi-app multitasking — with the energy efficiency that the 7,040mAh battery uses to deliver all-day battery life. At 7,040mAh, the Tab A9+ provides up to 12 hours of mixed use on a full charge. 15W USB-C fast charging refills the battery efficiently.

The stereo speaker system with Dolby Atmos is the audio feature that sets the Tab A9+ apart from budget single-speaker tablets at the same price. Dolby Atmos processing creates a wider, more spatial soundstage for music, films, and video calls — the difference between audio that feels like it fills the room and audio that sounds like it's coming from one corner of the device. For a tablet used primarily for media consumption, the dual-speaker Dolby Atmos setup is the most immediately noticeable quality upgrade.

8GB RAM supports smooth multitasking between apps. 128GB internal storage with microSD expansion up to 1TB ensures content, apps, and files are never limited by storage. 8MP rear camera for documents and casual photography. 5MP front camera for video calls. Bluetooth 5.1. GPS for navigation. Android 13 with One UI 5.1, upgradeable to Android 15 One UI 7.
