For the first time in the short history of Samsung‘s Fan Edition (FE) series, the company is preparing to launch two FE-branded tablets together this year. We are expecting the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ to go official soon. They are supposed to bring flagship-grade specs at an affordable point. However, the leaked prices of the tablets are anything but affordable.

A few days back, reputed tipster Roland Quandt claimed that Samsung will price the 6GB+128GB variant of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE (Wi-Fi) at ₹63,000 in India. That’s the equivalent of $760 at the current exchange rate. And it’s a quite high price for an FE-series tablet. For comparison, the 128GB variant of the flagship Galaxy Tab S9 costs ₹73,000 (roughly $880) in the country.

This made us wonder whether the rumored entry price of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE was correct. Unfortunately, that appears to be the case. Sources have quoted the same price for the tablet to MySmartPrice as well. The publication has also got the pricing structure of the 5G version. The same tablet with 5G connectivity will reportedly cost ₹65,000 (roughly $785) in India.

At these prices, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE will be quite expensive. The flagship series looks like a better deal. That’s unless the quoted prices are the MRPs (maximum retail prices). The 128GB Galaxy Tab S9 (Wi-Fi) has an MRP of ₹82,000 but Samsung is selling it for ₹73,000. But if the reported prices for the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ are the final selling prices, the Korean firm might find it tough to move the tablet off its store shelves.

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE will be available in an 8GB RAM version as well

If rumors are anything to go by, Samsung will offer the Galaxy Tab S9 FE in multiple memory configurations. Along with the aforementioned base variant (6GB+128GB), the tablet will also be available with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, Quandt has confirmed. Its pricing structure is not known.

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, on the other hand, is said to come in 8GB+128GB and 12GB+256GB memory configurations. The pricing structure of the Plus model is also missing. Silver, Light Green and Grey are among the rumored color options for the tablets. We should get to know more about the duo in the coming weeks as Samsung gears up for the launch. The company also has the Galaxy S23 FE in the works.
