Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 11” 128GB WiFi, Android AI Tablet, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor, AMOLED Screen, S Pen Included, US Version, 2023, Graphite (Renewed)

Bottom line (for those who want a quick review): Outstanding value! Flawless in every way. Zero compromises. My experience: If you're like me, you're probably reading reviews because you are skeptical of 3rd party sellers of preowned refurbished products and you want to know if this is a scam or at the very least you want to see what the "catch" is. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 256gb from the seller, DNCL-TECHZONE who are apparently based out of Texas. Reading through the specifications I became skeptical because they seemed rushed and didn't entirely match the specs from the manufacturer, Samsung. For example, it states that the storage and RAM are both 256gb. Whereas, of course, there's no way the RAM is 256gb - it's 12gb. Appearance: I ordered this yesterday, Sunday 2/8/26 and it arrived today. I opened the very well-packaged generic box and pulled out the tablet. It is flawless. Not a single scratch or micro-scratch anywhere. If I have to point out a flaw, there is a pinhole sized scuff mark by the charging port which is the most petty thing I can point out here. The package came with an official Samsung Tab S9 S Pen that was fully charged and ready to use instantly. It came with a generic charging cable and a pin to remove the microSD tray. Perfect. At this point I was expecting some sort of flaw somewhere - there had to be a compromise for getting an $800 device for half-price. I wanted to verify that the AMOLED screen hasn't been replaced with a cheaper LCD or IPS screen. I wanted to verify the legitimacy of the internal components as well. Again, I was super skeptical. Tests: I first looked at the screen. The display is vivid and crisp. To make sure the screen is AMOLED the first thing one should check on this device is if the fingerprint reader works. FOD (fingerprint-on-display) sensors don't work on LCD screens. Mine worked flawlessly. I also held a flashlight to the screen and saw the familiar bluish purple hue you want to see in an OLED. The screen was legit and I moved on to testing the internals. I ran several benchmarks after running CPU Z to see if the components were legit (they are 100% legit): 2 from 3DMark and Geekbench6. The 3DMark stress tests check the device's graphical performance over a period of time. It looks to see if the performance drops due to overheating. Geekbench6 tests the performance of the CPU. The results of these tests blew me away. Not only did it show that the device was original but the scores I received were scores you see on a new Tab S9 and some showed that my device OUTPERFORMS a brand new Tab S9. For 3DMark Wild Life Stress Test, I got a score of 3,901 for my best loop. Lowest loop score was 3,402. And after a 20 minute stress test I had an 11% drop in battery life which is A tier and is a standard for brand new batteries. I had a 87% stability score (65-70% is average) which means the internal cooling is perfect. My Geekbench6 single core score is 2091 and multicore score is 5843. These are above average numbers for the Tab S9! Essentially, I just bought a brand new tablet for the price of a used one! I don't know if I just happened to win the refurbished device lottery with this purchase but I could not be more happy with this experience. If this is standard business practice from this seller, do not hesitate to purchase a device from them. I have read some of the reviews about scratches, the S Pen not working or being a generic brand, poor packaging, and other negative comments but that is far from what I experienced.

Great customer service and quality product. The first tablet I received was in perfect physical condition but had an occasional software glitch, seller tech support helped me try a few fixes, and when those didn't work arranged a prompt return/replacement. The replacement shipped quickly and was also in mint condition, battery life is great, and the S pen that came with it is perfect too. Would highly recommend this seller.

The tablet came in good condition and well packaged in double layer of foam packaging. The tablet has functioned flawless so far. It actually came with a genuine Samsung S pen and not a generic version and fully functions unlike some over reviews have stated. The reason this review gets 4 instead of 5 stars is I do not think the tablets physical condition matches the listed excellent quality standards. While the screen has zero imperfections all 4 corners of the back of the tablet have notably visible scuffs even from a great distance. Amazon states excellent condition has no visible dents or scuffing from 12inches away. This however is minor cosmetics and does not impact functionality of the device. I will update this review if anything changes in the major functionality.

My tablet came well packaged in a generic box with very secure wrapping that could be described as bubble-wrap on steroids. I couldn't find a dent or scratch on the tablet anywhere I looked. It could have passed for new (apart from the generic packaging) except for some smudges on the back side, the exclusion of a matching beige s-pen (I got a black one), and the omission of a SD card tray ejection pin, all of which though noteworthy, are actually minor things in the end. Build quality is excellent. I have a few budget tablets and wanted to get something nice for a change. This is it! This nearly 3 year-old tablet has aged impressively well, and I would consider it an excellent value given its many premium features. On anorher note,I also ordered a nice Poetic brand "turtleskin" case for it, which makes it a bit heavy and a bit of a handful to hold given the size of the tablet. I will support the bottom of the tablet on my lap or belly for better stability. This case provides exceptional bump protection, AND enhances the speakers' output with front-facing sound ports that work really well. Here's a link... https://a.co/d/9WKjVB7

Tablet came securely packaged and the driver left it in the screen door so nobody walking by would see it. The tablet has no scratches on the front or back and is working perfectly I love it I got the s pen too I just didn't put it on for the pictures

Great condition and battery life excellent; overall a great tablet in weight, functionality and surface with no scratches detected.
