Samsung‘s Galaxy Tab A9 series tablets are slowly marching towards their launch. Both Galaxy Tab A9 and Galaxy Tab A9+ recently surfaced on multiple certification listings, including the FCC. The Korean firm has yet to announce a launch date for the devices.
About a month back, the FCC certified the Galaxy Tab A9 with the model number SM-X115. The Korean regulatory body, Safety Korea, followed up with its certification a couple of weeks later. We also got confirmation about its variants bearing model numbers SM-X110, SM-X115N, and SM-X117.
In the meantime, the Galaxy Tab A9+ popped up on the Indian certification agency’s (BIS) website with the model number SM-X216B. The Plus model also showed up on the Bluetooth SIG website and Geekbench, confirming five more variants (SM-X210, SM-X216N, SM-X216C, SM-X218, and SM-X218B).
The Galaxy Tab A9+ (SM-X210) has now received the FCC certification (via). The base model, on the other hand, has gained certifications from the Bluetooth SIG and the Korean Radio Research Agency (RRA) with the model numbers SM-X115 and SM-X115N, respectively. The RRA listing contains a live photo of the tablet, which we previously saw in the FCC and Safety Korea certifications as well.
The FCC listing revealed that the Galaxy Tab A9+ will measure 257.11×168.66×6.94mm in dimension. It will feature Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a microSD card slot. Supporting documents confirm its battery capacity (7,040mAh) and hint at a 15W charging speed. The Galaxy Tab S9 will reportedly pack a 5,000mAh battery and boast the same charging speed.
Samsung will offer both of these tablets in cellular variants (5G) as well. The Plus model could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 chipset paired with the Adreno 619 GPU and at least 4GB of RAM. The processor details of the Galaxy Tab A9, which measures 210.7mm in length and 124.7mm in width, are not known. Both tablets will run Android 13 out of the box.
Samsung may launch the Galaxy Tab A9 series alongside other products
The Galaxy Tab A9 and Galaxy Tab A9+ may arrive alongside a bunch of other Samsung products later this year. The Korean firm is known to be working on the Galaxy Tab S9 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, Galaxy Tab S23 FE, Galaxy SmartTag 2, and a new pair of TWS earbuds (likely called the Galaxy Buds FE). Rumors are that all of these devices will launch in Q4 2023, i.e. between October and December. We might have an official confirmation soon.
