Is a used Galaxy Tab S9+ worth buying?

It can be worthwhile for buyers who want a premium AMOLED display, flagship performance, S Pen and DeX capabilities at a lower price than a newer model. Before purchasing, inspect the screen for burn-in and damage, test touch and S Pen input, and check the battery, cameras, speakers, microphones, fingerprint sensor, charging port, wireless connections and account-lock status.
