Samsung has a couple of Fan Edition (FE) premium tablets in the pipeline. The company is readying the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ as more budget-friendly alternatives to its flagship trio it launched in July. Rumors have it that the FE models will debut later this year. While we don’t yet have a launch date, more details about the duo have surfaced online.
According to an Appuals report, Samsung will offer the Galaxy Tab S9 FE in 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB memory and storage configurations. The Plus model, on the other hand, will come in 8GB and 12GB RAM variants paired with the same storage options (128GB and 256GB), respectively. Both models will be available in Grey, Light Green, Light Pink, and Silver color options.
This isn’t the first time we have heard about the colors and storage variants of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series. There have been plenty of leaks revealing a great deal about these tablets. Samsung itself recently added support pages for the duo on its official website for Hungary, confirming these details. However, its listings mentioned 8GB+128GB and 12GB+256GB configurations for both models.
By the looks of it, Samsung will not release the 12GB+256GB variant of the base model in all markets. Likewise, the 6GB+128GB variant may be limited to certain markets as well. Interestingly, the official documents mentioned Graphite/Grey, Lavender, Mint, and Silver color options for the tablets. It appears the source of the latest information reported Lavender as Light Pink and Mint and Light Green.
