The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and the larger Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ launched in 2023 as Samsung's mid-range answer to the flagship Tab S9 line, built for students, note-takers, and anyone who wanted a bundled S Pen without flagship pricing. They show up under a handful of model numbers, including SM-X510 and SM-X516B for the FE, and SM-X610 and SM-X616B for the larger FE+. Both hold value well because Samsung still supports them with regular software updates, and the IP68 rating and included stylus keep them useful long after the original owner moves on. Pick your exact configuration and condition above for a live cash offer, and see how the process works if you want the shipping and payment details before you commit. If you have a different Samsung tablet on hand, you can still sell your iPad or Android slate through the same process.

Confirm you have the Galaxy Tab S9 FE or FE+

The fastest way to check is on the tablet itself. Open Settings → About tablet → Model number. That string tells you both the exact model and, in some cases, whether it is a Wi-Fi-only or cellular unit. If the tablet won't power on, our model finder can help you narrow it down from the box, the original receipt, or a photo of the rear panel.

Galaxy Tab S9 FE

  • SM-X510 — Wi-Fi only
  • SM-X516B — Wi-Fi + 5G
  • SM-X518U — US carrier variant
  • SM-X510NZAAMEA, SM-X516BZAEMEA — regional SKUs

Galaxy Tab S9 FE+

  • SM-X610 — Wi-Fi only
  • SM-X616B — Wi-Fi + 5G
  • SM-X610NZAAINU — regional SKU

Prefer a visual check? The Tab S9 FE has a 10.9-inch body, and the FE+ measures 12.4 inches diagonally, noticeably larger and closer to a laptop screen in size. Both ship with a slot for the S Pen along one edge and a flat aluminum back rather than glass. Cellular models have a visible SIM tray on the frame; Wi-Fi-only units do not.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Exynos 1380 across both the FE and FE+
  • Same chip regardless of memory tier, so day-to-day speed differences come down to RAM, not CPU

Memory & storage

  • FE: 6GB RAM + 128GB storage, or 8GB RAM + 256GB storage
  • FE+: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage, or 12GB RAM + 256GB storage
  • MicroSD slot for expandable storage on both sizes
  • The higher RAM and storage tiers move resale value the most, especially the 12GB FE+ config

Graphics

  • Integrated GPU paired with the Exynos 1380
  • Handles everyday multitasking and light creative work well, not built for heavy gaming

Cameras

  • Rear camera for document scanning and quick photos
  • Front-facing ultra-wide camera, useful for video calls at a wider angle

Display & audio

Display. The FE uses a 10.9-inch LCD panel; the FE+ steps up to a 12.4-inch LCD. Both run at a 90Hz refresh rate, which keeps scrolling and S Pen strokes feeling responsive without the battery cost of a full 120Hz panel.

Audio. Quad speakers tuned by AKG on both sizes, giving stereo separation in landscape orientation. There is no headphone jack, so wired listening depends on a USB-C adapter or headset.

Security. A side-mounted fingerprint reader built into the power button on both models, along with standard face unlock through the front camera.

Ports & connectivity

Both sizes share the same port layout and wireless radios, with the only hardware difference being the optional cellular modem on the 5G variants.

Wired
  • USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1)
  • MicroSD card slot
  • S Pen magnetic attachment point
Wireless
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth
  • 5G on cellular variants (SM-X516B, SM-X616B, and related SKUs)

Battery, build & more

Battery. The FE carries an 8,000mAh battery, while the larger FE+ steps up to a 10,090mAh battery to match its bigger screen. Both support wired fast charging.

Build. Aluminum unibody construction on both sizes, with an IP68 rating that is unusual for a tablet in this tier and worth mentioning to a buyer if the unit is otherwise clean.

Accessories. The S Pen ships in the box on both models. A working, undamaged S Pen with its included nib is worth confirming before you list a price, since a missing pen is one of the first things a buyer checks.

Software. Ships with Samsung's One UI on Android and is backed by Samsung's multi-year OS and security update commitment, which keeps it relevant as a secondary or student device well past its first owner.

Market positioning. Positioned as the value tier below the flagship Tab S9, it trades a faster chip and OLED screen for a lower price point and a more accessible upgrade path, which keeps used demand steady among students and casual users.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Open Settings → About tablet → Model number. That string (something like SM-X510 or SM-X616B) tells you whether it is an FE or FE+ and whether it has cellular. To check RAM and storage, go to Settings → About tablet → Storage, or look at the original retail box if you still have it. If the tablet won't turn on or you're unsure what you're holding, our model finder can help you identify it from external markings or paperwork.
02 How do I tell it apart from the standard Galaxy Tab S9?
Check the screen technology and refresh rate. The standard Tab S9 uses an AMOLED display at up to 120Hz, while the Tab S9 FE and FE+ use LCD panels at 90Hz. The FE line also ships in more color options and generally uses a plainer, matte aluminum finish rather than the glossier back on the standard S9. If you're not sure, the model number under Settings → About tablet settles it immediately since the standard Tab S9 uses SM-X710 and related numbers, distinct from the SM-X510 and SM-X610 series covered here.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, damaged and non-functional units are still worth quoting; select the matching condition above and the offer adjusts accordingly. Common issues we accept include cracked screens, battery that drains fast or won't hold a charge, and units that won't power on at all. Before shipping, remove your Google account from the device and make sure it is not locked to your Samsung account, since a locked tablet cannot be resold or refurbished and will affect what we can pay.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Condition and completeness matter more than anything else. A screen free of cracks, a battery that still holds a full-day charge, and a body without dents or corrosion push the offer up the most. Including the original S Pen in working order, the charging cable, and the retail box helps too, since a buyer expects a complete kit. Higher RAM and storage configurations, like the 8GB/256GB Tab S9 FE or 12GB/256GB Tab S9 FE+, also fetch more than the base tiers.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → General reset → Reset → Erase all data (factory reset), then confirm. Before that step, remove your Google account under Settings → Accounts and manage, and make sure Find My Mobile or Samsung account lock is turned off so the next owner can activate the tablet without your credentials attached. Once the reset finishes and the tablet reboots to setup, it's ready to ship. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full details are in our data erasure protocols if you want to double-check the steps before you send it in.
