Buying call

Buy the Galaxy Tab S9+ used if you want a 12.4-inch AMOLED Android tablet for video and notes for far less than a new Tab S12+. Reviewers liked its screen, speakers and attractive design, and it includes an S Pen and IP68. Skip it if you need pro creative apps, which are scarce on Android tablets. Its ultrawide camera is fixed-focus, and one review questioned long-term durability.
