Charger in box
No1Press releasenews.samsung.com/global/samsung-galaxy-tab-s9-sets-the-new-standard-to-bring-galaxys-premium-experience-to-a-tabletRead 10 October 2026Footnote: S Pen and USB Type-C cable are included inbox and other accessories are sold separately. No power adapter is listed. A cable is not an in-box charger. A distributor datasheet feed (Spanish, October 2025) ticks AC adapter included for SM-X710NZAEEUB, which conflicts with this list and with the unboxing source, so a human should check.13Reviewmynexttablet.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s9-and-s9-unboxing-first-impressionsRead 10 October 2026Unboxing of the Galaxy Tab S9 and S9+: box holds the tablet, the S Pen, a USB-C to USB-C cable, a user manual and an eject tool, and a charger is not included.
