want to share my experience upgraded from s8u to s9u
- performance wise, there's no difference noticed as I'm not power user who doing video editing on tablet or gamer who played high-end games. But one thing I noticed occasionally is in Dex mode when more apps are open, the lagging is fewer than s8u. not saying s9u has no lag at all, but smoother a bit when a lot of apps opened. But even that lagging on s8u did not bother me much.
- battery. This is the most benefit I would say worth the money and suggest to upgrade, if you care about the battery life. there're different use patterns people have, if only compare standby time or SOT (screen on time) for media playing, they might have similar battery time. I used both when traveling with hours of layover, and watching local saved h265 encoded movies, I won't say that have much difference on battery time.
However, when I use it in Dex and multitasking (usually one window for stock app, twitter app, one browser, one note taking app, chatgpt and YouTube in PIP mode), the battery time difference are pretty noticeable (I mostly turn battery saving on when doing heavy multitasking). I have to grab and charge s8u at lunch time for afternoon work, but with s9u I kinda have more confidence the tab can survive another 3hrs in afternoon.
Again, this improvement I noticed is not for everyone. with moderate use and mostly on media consume, the diff is minimal and may not worth upgrade. But anyone feels or having concern on s8u battery life, can try s9u and my exp tells it gets improved (maybe not the macbook M-chip type of long battery) and suggested to upgrade with a good deal price.
just my two cent
Watch out for a 40% off coupon in the email, if you have ordered s24 ultra(I'm not sure of other varient owners) recently. Did a pre-order with samsung directly. I got this email two days back. It should give you an additional discount.

I went through that thread and I only saw 1 person mention that their order cancelled, and they were doing the Phone/Tablet deal. So that was a legit $200 trade in deal for the Tab 9 Ultra. Which stinks because no way will I pay $480 now for the same deal. Yes, I am aware that there is no time machine yet..................
I'm fine with the Ultra 8, but the few upgrades I think are worth it for $200. Better screen, improved battery life and better speakers are a nice upgrade. For $480 I'll wait for next year I guess. Very surprised the $200 deal never returned. Or I may have missed it.

Usually happens once a year. I remember a similar good deal when the S8U was out for a few months and I had a strong inkling that it would happen again with the S9U. Not sure if it'll repeat again for the S9U though.

Yes, I traded in the 7 Ultra to the 8 Ultra for like $75 I believe. Just crazy. Trading up to the 8 Ultra not nearly as good. I'm not even sure there will be a Tab S10 this year. But still can't pull the trigger at $480. Here's hoping the $200 deal comes back! (Doubtful I know)

Did that. Traded in tab s8 for $700 for s9 ultra, first responders rate and $110 off (I don't know how or why, it just popped up as additional savings), total for everything including tax is $372 for me.

Just looked it up on my Samsung orders. Nope, you are correct, there was no S7 Ultra. I ordered a Tab S7+ for $407 back in the day. Was half off and no trade. Then when the time came, I traded the S7+ in for a Tab S8 Ultra for $89. That was one heck of a deal!!
It looks like the S10 won't come this year, so maybe we'll get the $199 trade in again during 2024 Black Friday for the S9 Ultra. But otherwise, I don't see that $199 deal ever coming back unfortunately. (Hope I'm wrong of course!)
