GoSolo Verdict

The Pad 9 pairs a flagship chipset with a sharp 11.2-inch display and 144Hz refresh for under 400 EUR, making it a solid mid-range tablet for work and media. The weak rear camera and basic 13MP sensor undercut its otherwise competent spec sheet, and you're paying mostly for the screen and processor rather than a rounded experience.

Strengths · 4

144Hz IPS LCD with HDR support and 800-nit peak brightness, a rare feature at this price for a tablet
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 ensures smooth performance across demanding apps and gaming without thermal strain
Lightweight and thin—485g and 5.8mm—making it genuinely portable for a 11.2-inch device
Fast storage across the board (UFS 4.1 on top variants) keeps app launches and file transfers brisk

Trade-offs · 3

13MP rear camera with no ultrawide or zoom is weak for a tablet at this tier; most competitors offer broader focal lengths
No charger in the box (inferred from 67W support but no mention of included power unit) means added cost for buyers
9720 mAh battery sounds large but translates to modest real-world endurance for a device this size; expect 8–10 hours under moderate use
