Advancements in performance, network connectivity, and sheer versatility would be more than enough to explain the growing popularity of tablets among businesses. When you consider how everyday work is changing, though, it’s no longer a question of whether companies will want to equip their teams with these connected, multipurpose devices. It’s a question of giving employees the best model to meet their specific business needs.
According to TechRadar, for example, 80% of workers feel that larger displays increase their productivity. People want the portability of tablets, but also a PC-like experience, with superior battery life and extra functionality — like the ability to take notes.
Simultaneously, companies are also taking into account the myriad scenarios in which their employees will have to stay connected on the go and use essential business applications. Research from Deloitte suggested a desire for increased productivity and efficiency is the No. 1 reason many firms are investing in both Wi-Fi 6 and 5G.
Meet the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup
Samsung designed the latest Galaxy Tab S devices with all these business uses in mind, starting with key features that are common across all three devices.
This includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor that offers our most powerful and fastest performance yet, two-in-one functionality with a keyboard and Samsung DeX, plus enterprise-grade security and management through Samsung Knox.
The Tab S9 series also offers enterprise-ready connectivity with options like Wi-Fi 6E, which will provide access to business apps and data wherever there’s a wireless network. Meanwhile, using 5G, employees carrying a Tab S9+ device can continue working without interruption wherever they are, including remote sites or while they’re in their vehicle.
To begin deciding which Tab S9 family devices your company needs, think through the everyday tasks an employee or team tends to focus on, and how they collaborate. The Tab S9+ will work well for those whose jobs require extreme portability, while those focused on content creation might need the larger screen of the S9 Ultra.
Another way to make the right choice is by aligning your Tab S9 device with the specific use cases of the industry or vertical market in which you operate. Read on to explore a few examples based on some common business segments.
Galaxy S9 Ultra
- A larger screen compared to the S9 and S9+, ideal for employees who need room for note-taking and multitasking
- From 256GB up to 1TB storage and 16GB RAM
- An 11,200mAh long-life battery to keep employees productive
Boasting a 14.6-inch display that rivals many laptops, the Tab S9 Ultra offers the space necessary to communicate or visualize complex ideas and collaborate with co-workers and customers. It also delivers 16 hours of video playback time compared with 14 hours on the S8 Ultra.* In addition, it has a fast charging time of only 98 minutes.**
This extra screen real estate is valuable for any multitasker. Like all devices in the Tab S9 lineup, the S9 Ultra offers diverse multiview layouts, which you can adjust based on the kind of experience you need. Finance professionals, for example, can display product and service options to a client or internal team while simultaneously displaying customer feedback to offer social proof or identify areas to improve the customer experience.
The S9 Ultra’s Dynamic AMOLED 2x display offers the color and quality to see products as though customers were standing in front of them in real life. A new optional Vision Booster automatically detects high illumination and maximizes vivid colors on the screen, while low blue light and dark mode offer enhanced eye comfort.
Samsung DeX provides the ability to display presentations on an even larger screen. Each new Tab S9 also includes the responsive S Pen Pro2, which supports writing or drawing tips you can use at a 50 to 60-degree tilt. Illustrate a concept for your team or bring an abstract idea to life for your client. Sketch out your next masterpiece. Write a note longhand and automatically convert it to text.
The S9 Ultra is also an example of where the power of a Galaxy-connected experience streamlines workflows. With the new Multi-Control feature, for example, you can control your smartphone with a tablet keyboard and trackpad to reply to messages.
Finally, the S9 Ultra allows employees to work at home, on-site and anywhere else via Wi-Fi 6E. That kind of connectivity ensures support for high-bandwidth apps. A retailer could offer a purchasing app through the tablet, for example, to assist a customer through their entire shopping journey.
Galaxy Tab S9+
- Flexible connectivity with 5G for employees working in remote sites or while on the move
- A 12.4-inch screen offers enough real estate to tap into productivity features such as multiple windows
- Pro level app-ready with Good Notes and ArcSite
Portability matters, particularly with many organizations offering some degree of hybrid work options for employees. The Tab S9+ is like others in the latest series that allows you to activate your device on the go with a new dual SIM feature — a physical SIM and eSIM. This can prove valuable for organizations that are operating private networks.
With a 12.4-inch screen, the Tab S9+ gives mobile workers both the real estate and the performance they need to be productive, including a long-life battery and up to 1TB of expandable memory.
Continuity with the rest of the Galaxy ecosystem means it’s easy to transfer information from one Galaxy device to another. A retail manager could connect to desktop systems in the back office, for example, to set up staff schedules, then be on the floor to engage directly with customers and assist associates by suggesting accessories and complementary products.
You can also connect the Galaxy Tab S9 to a keyboard, and use DeX in a vehicle. A government employee, for instance, could leave an off-site meeting and then go to their car and add more detailed notes, enjoying flawless connectivity to their applications over 5G.
Support for pro-level apps like Good Notes and ArcSite, meanwhile, will enhance the ability to enjoy the freedom of handwriting or doing quick and easy CAD/CAM designs.
Galaxy Tab S9
- The most lightweight Tab S9 device with an 11-inch screen
- Wi-Fi 6E connectivity allows the team to work at the office, at home or wherever there’s a wireless network
- The same next-generation processors as the Tab S9+ and S9 Ultra drive premium performance for anyone on the team
- An ideal device for digitizing business and replacing backend paper-based processes
There are hardly any jobs left where mobile devices like tablets aren’t offering a compelling alternative to traditional business processes.
Especially in this age of remote and hybrid work, devices that enable effective work from wherever employees may be based — and connectivity among your team — are more important than ever before.
