Leaked renders have already revealed the design and color options of the phone, and now it has made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmarking platform, providing key information about its chipset, RAM, and operating system.

According to the listing, the phone is powered by a MediaTek chipset with six cores running at 2.0GHz and the remaining two cores running at 2.20GHz.

  • Storage Upgrade Offer Now Available for Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Series

    Storage Upgrade Offer Now Available for Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Series

    Last week, Samsung started offering storage upgrade promotions for the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus in the US. Up until then, this offer was limited to the Galaxy S series smartphones.

    Samsung Extends Storage Upgrade Offer to Galaxy Tab S9 Series

    Just a few days later, the same offer is now available for the high-end Galaxy Tab S9 family as well. Buyers can avail of benefits on all three models.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra

    Samsung has extended the storage upgrade offer to the WiFi variants of the Galaxy Tab S9 series in the US. Thus, consumers can now get the higher storage model for the price of the base model from Samsung.com

    This means the 12GB + 256B version of the Galaxy Tab S9 now costs the same as the 8GB + 128GB variant ($799.99) instead of $919.99. The base variant cannot be ordered, at least for the time being.

    It is clever of Samsung to upsell the higher variant by discounting it, rather than bringing down the starting price by offering a discount on the base model.

    Similarly, the 12GB + 512GB memory configurations of Galaxy Tab S9 Plus and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra are available for $999.99 and $1199.99, respectively. They would normally cost $1199.99 and $1319.99, respectively.

    The only variant that’s not on discount is the top-end 16GB + 1TB version of Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. This one is still listed at its launch price of $1619.99.

    On top of the storage upgrade offer, buyers can avail trade-in bonus to further lower the price of these tablets.

    That being said, we are not sure how long this offer will be valid. Also, we have no info on if and when this promotion will be made available in other regions.
