Galaxy Tab S9 Camera: this is everything we know about it so far

Samsung makes arguably the best tablets on the market, especially when it comes to the best Android tablets. Now, cameras usually don't play a big part in what makes a tablet great. Nevertheless, the Galaxy Tab S9 series has some camera-related changes that are worth sharing. Let's jump in together and see what has changed with this latest generation.

Galaxy Tab S9 camera

New ultra-wide camera and... no ultra-wide camera

There are two major changes with the cameras on the Galaxy Tab S9 series. First and foremost, Samsung has completely dropped the ultra-wide camera from the base Galaxy Tab S9, leaving it only with the main camera on the back that comes with 13MP and an aperture of f/2.0.

The other news again has to do with the ultra-wide shooter, which for the larger Galaxy S9 Plus and Galaxy S9 Ultra got upgraded from 6MP to 8MP.

Slightly different look

The long black bar featured on the Galaxy Tab S8 series no longer covers the cameras and flash on the Galaxy Tab S9. Instead, the bar is now shorter, with the camera/s and flash more visible than before, a lot like the Galaxy S23 series.

Front-facing cameras remain the same

The Galaxy Tab S8 already came with some of the best front-facing cameras in a tablet, which is probably why there aren't any changes from Samsung on this front. We were very impressed with the image quality during our Galaxy S8 Ultra review last year, so we can't exactly complain if there are no upgrades with this year's front-facing cameras.

How many cameras does the Galaxy Tab S9 have?

The only difference compared to Samsung's last generation of flagship tablets is that the most affordable one, the Galaxy Tab S9, no longer has an ultra-wide camera, which leaves only the main camera at the back. The Galaxy Tab S9 Plus and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, on the other hand, still come with two — a main (wide) snapper, and a new ultra-wide.

As for the front-facing cameras, the Galaxy Tab S9 has one, and the S9 Plus and S9 Ultra come with two.

How many megapixels is the Galaxy Tab S9?

All main cameras of the Galaxy Tab S9 series come with 13MP. The new ultra-wide cameras on the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra are now 8MP. All front-facing cameras remain at 12MP just like with the previous generation.
