This section of the video, the reviewer discusses the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, the newest high-end Android tablet from Samsung. The tablet features a gigantic 14.6-inch screen, a razor-thin design, and a large battery. It also includes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and a Vapor chamber cooling system for improved performance.

The reviewer discusses the capabilities of the Samsung Tab S9 Ultra and how it compares to the iPad Pro. The Tab S9 Ultra offers features like multi-window multitasking, stylus support, and DeX mode, which provides a desktop-like experience. It also has a large camera viewfinder and dual selfie cameras. While the Tab S9 Ultra has a larger screen, bigger speakers, and expandable storage, it comes at a higher price compared to the iPad Pro. The reviewer points out that, similar to Sony phones, although the Tab S9 Ultra offers a lot of enthusiast features, the number of people who will actually utilize these features is small. The ecosystem effect, where people prefer the iPad for its iMessage and FaceTime capabilities, as well as the preference for bigger screens with minimal sacrifices in other areas, leads many to choose the iPad over the Tab S9 Ultra. However, for those not dependent on the Apple ecosystem and who don’t require the specific features of the iPad, the Tab S9 Ultra is a highly capable tablet.
