Questions about Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

The Samsung Galaxy A9+ tablet running Android 13 can now be updated to Android 14. The update has been released by Samsung and is already available in some countries, bringing the operating system up to the Android 14 version with the One UI 6.0 interface, which replaces the previous One UI 5.1.1 found on Android 13. The main differences between Android 13 and Android 14 on this device include security improvements, performance optimisations and new features introduced with One UI 6.0, which offers a smoother and more up-to-date user experience than the previous version. However, the update includes a December 2023 security patch, so it is not the latest available, but still a step up from Android 13. To update, you can manually check the availability of the update in the tablet's settings, under 'Software Updates', and proceed with the download and installation by following the on-screen instructions.

I haven't found a pen yet.

Thank you for this input.

No, it is not possible to connect the Galaxy Tab A9+ directly to an external monitor via a USB-C to HDMI adapter. The Galaxy Tab A Series, including the Galaxy Tab A9+, does not support video output via USB-C to HDMI adapter. To connect to an external monitor, alternative solutions such as a DisplayLink dock with the corresponding app or other special adaptations would have to be used. The official Samsung USB-C to HDMI adapters and cables are mainly designed for the Galaxy S and Note Series and some Galaxy Tab S models, not for the Tab A Series.

With a WLAN tablet, you only use the Internet via a WLAN connection. With the 4G/5G tablet, you can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi as well as with a SIM card (data subscription).
