    Samsung expands storage upgrade offer for Galaxy Tab A9 Plus

    Samsung has recently announced the Galaxy Tab A9 series, comprising of two tablets: the Galaxy Tab A9 and the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus.

    Free Storage Upgrade Offer

    The Galaxy Tab A9 Plus was released in the US in January, and Samsung initially offered a free Book Cover accessory worth $50 with every purchase. However, the company has now replaced this offer with a free storage upgrade offer.

    This storage upgrade offer was first introduced by Samsung with the launch of the Galaxy S23 series last year, and it has been continued with the successor Galaxy S24 series as well. Now, the offer has been extended to the budget tablet Galaxy Tab A9 Plus.

    Customers in the US who purchase the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus from Samsung.com will receive double the storage and RAM. Additionally, they can also avail up to $90 trade-in bonus.

    For the price of the base 4GB + 64GB variant ($219), buyers will receive the higher 8GB + 128GB version instead. The higher memory configuration typically carries a price tag of $269, so customers will essentially save $50, which is the same benefit offered by the free Book Cover offer.

    Specifications and Features

    The Galaxy Tab A9 Plus features a sleek metal body and boasts an 11-inch 16:10 display. The LCD panel offers a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate.

    Under the hood, the tablet is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip. It runs on One UI 5.1 based on Android 13.

    The device is equipped with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. It also features quad stereo speakers and a 7,040mAh battery. Additionally, it supports 15W charging.
