Mishaal Rahman and FragmentedChicken are in South Korea for Samsung Unpacked!

It’s weird with time zones but they’ll be on for the next hour or so. They’re juggling on-the-ground stuff at the press conference so post any questions here and they’ll respond once they can!

Edit: We’ve left the hands-on area, but feel free to continue posting your questions. We’ll continue to answer them if we can, and might have another opportunity with some of the devices.

I’m really interested in the tab s9 series. Anything stand out to you such as performance or screen quality? I really want to get another Android tablet to replace my old tab s6 but I really want something more performant for the money.

We will probably have to wait until review units go out for performance, but I’m interested in hearing about their first impressions on touch responsiveness and display quality!

This is what I’m interested in too. I have a tab S7+ but would prefer a smaller form factor with a great screen.

We mostly focused on the foldables, but I imagine the switch from 8 Gen 1 to 8 Gen 2 will make a big difference. The 8 Gen 1 is a hot inefficient mess of a chip, while the 8 Gen 2 is an ideal cool efficient chip. It will definitely do wonders for performance and battery life. The peak brightness for all the tablets have improved as well. They’re advertised with 750/650/930 nits for the Tab S9/S9+/S9 Ultra.
