The Galaxy S7 Tablet FE, whose predecessor is the Galaxy Tab S7, is a solid choice for functionality, as well as offering the power to multi-task and still have time to play while engaging with other apps. The Pros: S Pen Fast Processor Long Battery life Multiple Device Connections Expandable Storage The Cons: Screen Display S Pen Housing/Magnetic Functions Other functions missing First, I want to say how functional and easy it is to use the S Pen. The S Pen is weighted, bold, and yet easy to use while writing on the screen and taking notes. The S Pen does feel comfortable, and the functionality of erasing by pressing a button towards the writing tip of the pen makes taking notes and quick erasing painless (rather than having to select the erase tool from a menu). ... MoreThe Galaxy S7 Tablet FE, whose predecessor is the Galaxy Tab S7, is a solid choice for functionality, as well as offering the power to multi-task and still have time to play while engaging with other apps.

The S Pen does feel comfortable, and the functionality of erasing by pressing a button towards the writing tip of the pen makes taking notes and quick erasing painless (rather than having to select the erase tool from a menu). While using a drawing app to trace and color in already made cartoon images, the S Pen was smooth and precise, making sketching on the screen tolerable and fun. The Galaxy S7 FE utilizes a Qualcomm Octa-Core processor, which is quick, yet it allows me to multi-task between opening multiple windows (some "in-screen" apps such as YouTube) and not losing a beat in terms of lagging or stalling. Plus, I was sketching, listening to music, and writing emails while switching back and forth. Again, no issues to report as everything I was doing seemed seamless. I will add that its predecessor, the S7 tablet, utilizes the same type of processor. On a full charge, I was able to use the S7 FE for multiple days (three to be exact against countless hours) while using it for note-taking, emails, and other miscellaneous tasks before I had to recharge the tablet. I was impressed with how long the battery life was. Especially since most of the time, I was listening to music while working on the tablet with a minimum of 50% screen brightness. Additionally, the S7 FE connected seamlessly to my Galaxy Note 10+. I specifically shared photos from my phone to the S7 FE via a "quick share" connection. Again, a bonus if someone is trying to share notes they took on their phone (or tablet). Yet, the S7 FE does not contain a robust storage capacity (128 GB of storage). You do have the option to install a micro SD card (up to 1TB) to expand storage (which seriously lacks on other tablets; I am looking at you, Apple). Unfortunately, the S7 FE does contain some flaws. The S7 FE boasts a 12.4" screen, which is great...except for the screen resolution. Compared to its predecessor, the S7, the screen resolution is 2560x1600. Likewise, it contains a TFT LCD. Compared to the S7, which uses AMOLED technology, the picture (while watching videos specifically) is not as bright, vivid, and colorful. Since the S Pen is functional, one of its flaws is the magnet that allows the pen to connect to either the back of the tablet or, if you are working and need a place to store it quickly, to the top of the screen horizontally. The issue with the S Pen connecting to the top of the screen horizontally is, it does not completely "stick," and a sudden movement from the user will dislodge the S Pen. Although a bold idea, theoretically, it was not well thought out. Also, I would advise purchasing a separate case that helps hold the S Pen in place. Lastly, and not necessarily a deal-breaker, the S7 FE only allows a pin to unlock the screen. Whereas the S7 also provides a fingerprint sensor option to unlock the screen from sleep. Overall, the S7 FE is a light version of its S7 predecessor. It offers functionality while providing a fast processor for those who work and play at the same time. I would definitely recommend based on its performance and feasibility.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE is an outstanding value. Hands down the best option for a +12inch tablet, especially as it is often on sale and comes with an SPen in the Box. The bad (not that bad): Samsung made a few design compromises vs. the Tab S7+ to help keep costs down. It does not have a fingerprint scanner, it has an LCD screen, it only has 2 speakers, it has a single rear camera, screen refresh is only 60Hz, the included SPen does not have bluetooth capability, and the processor is mid-range. None of these are deal-breakers. The good: For the price (especially on sale under $500) these are all very reasonable compromises and this tablet delivers. The LCD screen looks very good, and certainly is high resolution and is just fine. In fact, it can actually look sharper ... MoreThe Galaxy Tab S7 FE is an outstanding value.

If you are editing a lot of documents or reading small text, this arguably is a BETTER choice than AMOLED. Also, this LCD will not have risk of burn in like AMOLED. Speakers sound plenty loud. The performance for table mode is totally fine, even in DEX with the 6GB ram model (128GB storage and up) is fine. Battery life is ABSURDELY good. This thing goes and goes and goes. The Tab S7 FE will get one additional major Android update vs. the Tab S7+ as well (likely to Android 14). Overall, this is the best, most capable 12" tablet for the money.

I love this tablet. So, back in 2016 I bought a Samsung Galaxy View 18.4" tablet. I used it for textbooks when I was teaching, and as a GM screen when I was running tabletop RPGs. It's great for those uses, and as a backup TV for my kids when we're away from home, I've got it loaded with movies and stuff. BUT - it's freaking huge. Unwieldy for just reading in bed. I found out earlier this year I needed open heart surgery. The recovery for my 5x bypass is normally 8-12 weeks, and I've been told to expect longer because I'm diabetic. I needed something a little more reasonable to maneuver. So I bought this Galaxy Tab 12.4" First of all, the image quality and battery life are both extremely satisfying. I've yet to run out of power when I need it. It does have some ... MoreI love this tablet. So, back in 2016 I bought a Samsung Galaxy View 18.4" tablet.

It has an SD card slot, which allows me to load a respectable library on it for when I'm away from WiFi. The processor has so far been pretty snappy for when I'm changing windows, and since most of what I do involves PDFs, it handles those as well or better than my gaming laptop. All in all, I am very happy with this purchase, and would recommend this tablet to anyone who wants something that can display book pages at near-100% scale clearly, with crisp text and color fidelity.

Samsung makes a variety of tablets that range from budget to budget-busting in price and specs. The Samsung Tab S7 FE falls into the upper-mid range in terms of features and price. The basics are a 12.4 inch screen, 4, 6, or 8 gigs of RAM (depending on 64, 128, or a 256 gig storage model picked), dual speakers, a mid-range Qualcomm 778G-series processor (in this WiFi model), 8mp camera (back) and 5mp camera (front), with an included passive S-pen for expanded use and options. Mine has 128 gigs of storage and 6 gigs of RAM. At 12.4 inches, the 2560x1600 pixel TFT screen is pretty big for a tablet. It’s not a super AMOLED screen but a more basic TFT version, so you don’t get quite the same deep blacks and viewing angles as the more expensive AMOLEDs, but still, it’s ... MoreSamsung makes a variety of tablets that range from budget to budget-busting in price and specs.

Mine has 128 gigs of storage and 6 gigs of RAM. At 12.4 inches, the 2560x1600 pixel TFT screen is pretty big for a tablet. It’s not a super AMOLED screen but a more basic TFT version, so you don’t get quite the same deep blacks and viewing angles as the more expensive AMOLEDs, but still, it’s pretty bright, the colors are deeply saturated, and the viewing angles are good enough. Videos looked detailed and bright, as did any apps I use on it, although I did have a couple of instances where an app like YouTube crashed and had to be reopened – hopefully future updates will fix this bug. Fixed into a metal body, it’s solid enough to hold (though again, large) but if you use a stand or holder it’s manageable for longer use times. It’s only 60hz and not the more desirable 90 or 120hz, so occasionally I see a flitter or stall but it’s not bad, but for this prince point I would have liked to see at least a 90hz screen. The included S-pen (passive – not powered) will pull up a special menu that allows you to do a variety of things including take hand notes, draw/paint, sign documents, select areas of the screen to do a screen shot, write on the screen, and more; the pen menu pops up as an overlay on top of the regular home screen menu which looks a bit disorienting at first, but it’s usable and adjustable in settings if you dig around. The stylus is handy and easy to use with a little practice, though it does not slide up into the tablet itself. It will magnetically stick to the side, weakly, but it would be best to find a case or sleeve that has a slot to hold the pen so you don’t lose it (neither are included with the tablet). Signing documents is a breeze with it, and while drawing was quirky for me as I’m more “old school”, with practice I’ll improve. As with many Samsung devices, the S7 FE comes with some preloaded Samsung apps that are actually handy, like the Samsung shop, a voice recorder, a free TV viewing app, and more. The dreaded “Bixby” assistant is still there, though – and out of the box, when you press the power button to hopefully power down the device, Bixby instead comes to life (you have to press that and a volume key together to power down); you can change this in settings, though. The Google Play store is of course, also available. The Octa-Core 778G-series processor is good for all basics and many games that aren’t top-demanding. You can run a few apps at the same time so long as they’re not super-charged and can run up to three at one time without seeing major hiccups. The dual speakers are pretty good and offer Dolby Atmos quality; I probably won’t use it to power my music at a large party, but for personal use it’s fine, and connects well via Bluetooth to Samsung buds and other wireless speakers (there’s no headphone jack – frown). The 8mp back camera is good enough, lacking a little in the dynamic range department but not bad by any means. The 5mp front facing camera is also more than good enough for Zoom or Duo calls and offers plenty of details in decent to good light, for that purpose, and 3 mics give decent recorded sound. USB-C charging is up to date, but you get a weaker charger with it, so expect around 3 or so hours, give or take, to fully charge the 10,090 mah battery, but it can handle much faster chargers if you own one. Claims of 11 hours of battery life depend on use, screen brightness, etc… I have averaged around 9 or so hours with the way I use it. It comes with Android 11 out of the box, and is available in “Mystic” Black, Silver, Green, or Pink. I have the Black – I’m dull, but like that the best and it looks more pro that way. Ok, so, would I invest in a keyboard case and make this a “laptop replacement”? For me? Probably not because once you add the extra cost of a keyboard case to it (the Samsung runs around $150 and up), you’re past the price point of a good, dedicated laptop. At the suggested retail price ($599 U.S.) to me it’s a bit up there considering the concessions made on the screen and processor, but again, unlike other brands, it does include the S-Pen. For media consumption… movies, magazine/comic reading, and social media, it works great. It’s ok for office functions when used with a stand and external keyboard if you have them around. The holiday season is fast approaching again, so overall I still recommend it, especially considering expected holiday sales.
I have watched many video reviews of the tablet when compared to the Galaxy Tablet S7+. I have to assume that if you had the S7+ to compare side-by-side with the S7 FE you would notice some differences and at that point you might be inclined to buy the S7+ instead of the S7 FE as the S7 FE, or Fan Edition, is supposed to be a more budget-friendly version of the S7+ with a few reduced features. I think that on its own, if the S7+ didn't exist, I would recommend the S7 FE. because there are not many other tablet brands in this space: Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei and Google. That's it. Huawei is not available in the US, Apple OS is in an entirely different class of tablet, Google focuses on Chrome OS and replacing the PC experience, Amazon focuses on offering ... MoreI have watched many video reviews of the tablet when compared to the Galaxy Tablet S7+.

I think that on its own, if the S7+ didn't exist, I would recommend the S7 FE. because there are not many other tablet brands in this space: Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei and Google. That's it. Huawei is not available in the US, Apple OS is in an entirely different class of tablet, Google focuses on Chrome OS and replacing the PC experience, Amazon focuses on offering budget tablets just to get their hardware in your hand so you can spend on Amazon digital products. That just leaves Lenovo and Samsung. The only Lenovo tablet that can really compare is the Tab P11, but that is more akin to the Samsung Galaxy S7, not the S7FE or S7+. As a result, at the end of the day, if you are looking for a premium android tablet, the S7 FE's only competition is the S7+. And I would recommend the S7+ over the S7 FE. The S7 FE is the same size and build quality as the S7+. What is get on the FE (vs the plus) is: Slower processor (Snapdragon 765 vs 865) Lower quality screen (60 hz IPS vs 120 hz AMOLED, 1600p vs 1752p) Lower camera resolution (rear: 8 mp vs 13 mp, front: 5 mp vs 8 mp) Extra weight (0.65 oz) Fewer speakers (2 vs 4) Slightly thicker body (0.6 mm) Overall the tablet is very nice. The Pen is wonderful, very responsive, feels great in the hand. The screen is great on its own, when not compares to the S7+. I put on a glass screen protector (which was a pain in the butt to install - trying to avoid dust on a 12" screen protector is hard!) and the responsiveness hasn't changed at all. Samsung DeX is a very nice experience that replicates a PC experience, especially if you have a the Keyboard Book cover for the tablet (keep in mind that the S7 and S7+ already have DeX). Samsung offers the new S7 FE keyboard book cover, or you can use the older larger book cover that was designed for the S7+ if having a touchpad is important (which I think it is). I am currently typing on the S7+ keyboard book cover and it works great. Everything is very snappy on the tablet. Audio is great (although I think I might have enjoyed the 4-speaker array of the S7+). Most of the things you lose from the S7+ you won't notice. The screen resolution, the thicker body, the processor performance, the extra weight. Heck, you will probably never even use the cameras to notice the difference. My wife has been using her (Apple) tablet for 3 years now. She rarely ever uses the cameras other than to do the occasional video chat (for which 5 mp is more than sufficient). The big one you will notice is the screen. I am unable to see it since I don't have an S7+ to compare, but I see it in the video reviews on YouTube. I think you will get a much better experience out of the 120 hz AMOLED screen vs the 60 hz IPS screen. You might also notice the performance difference between a Snapdragon 865 and 765. The cost difference for the S7 FE vs the S7+ (128GB/6GB models) is $130 (current Sep 19, 2021 discounted prices of $599 vs $729). I mean, if you are already ready to spend $600 on a tablet, might as well pay the extra $130 for the better "full version" of the tablet. Now, if $600 is your budget, ok, I can understand. Heck, you can even drop down to the 64 GB of this tablet (a version which does not exist on the S7+) and you are only paying $530 at that point (not to mention that as of today, Sep 19, 2021, Best Buy is offering a $50 gift card with purchase of the S7 FE tablets, all versions). But if you can afford the extra $130 go with the S7+. One last side point. If you are excited at Samsung DeX and are hoping for it to be an equal experience to Chrome OS, don't get your hopes up. I mean it is great. It is a wonderful addition to an Android Tablet and really brings something new to the Android tablet experience. But, I only recommend taking DeX into consideration of your purchase (of either the S7 FE or S7+) if your goal is to purchase an Android tablet and have the OPTION to use it as a psuedo-chromeOS PC at times. Think of Samsung Dex as running Blue Stacks (in Windows) at full screen with the ability to have apps in individualized windows like Windows OS. You get to run all the Android apps you want in a Windows-ish environment, but you don't get the polished PC Android expereince that Chrome OS brings (of course the big downside of Chrome OS is that you can't run all Android apps, you are limited to Chrome OS specific apps, which are better designed). Just as an example, Android browser apps are intended to view webpages in mobile mode. When you are in DeX mode viewing in Desktop mode is much more amenable. Problem is that on an Android tablet you lose some functionality of how you would use desktop mode that you only get from a true desktop operating system (little things here and there).
I was debating between the Samsung galaxy tab7 FE or the iPad 9th generation. Since Samsung was offering an incredible trade in value of $200 for my iPad mini 1st generation, I was able to get the FE with 8 ram and 256 gb for around the same price as the 64 gb ipad. Plus the tab 7 FE came with a pen. Even though I couldn't see myself using the pen often, it was nice to have. Once I got my tab 7 FE, I used it everyday to test out the features. So far, I love it. I have the Samsung s21 plus so my text messages and phone calls also goes to my tab7. Again, this is a feature I didn't think I would use but while I'm working on something on my tab, it was really convenient to respond to my texts on my tab. Also, I don't know where my phone is half the time so it's nice to ... MoreI was debating between the Samsung galaxy tab7 FE or the iPad 9th generation.

Also, I don't know where my phone is half the time so it's nice to be able to answer my phone calls on my tab too. The samsung note taking app is also great. You an scribble your notes down and hit a button for the app to convert my messy handwriting to text. It's pretty accurate too considering my writing is like chicken scratch. The dex app is also great for when I want the feel of a desktop. The only downside is that Microsoft office does not allow me to edit or create new documents without subscribing to Microsoft 365 since the screen size is over 10 inches. But I just end up using google docs or google slides instead of Microsoft. All in all a great product. It's fast and very responsive. I wanted to spring for the samsung keyboard cover but couldn't justify spending $150 for it. I ended up buying a small Onn keyboard from Walmart and it works really well with the tab7 FE.
The Samsung Tablet is as expected. Some good, some not so good. It's pretty fast and reliable. It has a pretty big storage space. But I don't have enough things to store to press its limits to see how much you can store before performance starts to wane. But 128 GB is pretty good considering I don't store pics on it, just pdf's and MS Office documents. The battery goes down awful fast. Just terrible in my opinion. In order to use the stylus you basically have to take a screenshot and write on it. I can't just write in a search engine or something, even though the image projected for the stylus is with the pen hovering over a search bar. Seems kind of misleading. You can't highlight or underline, even in your own programs you purchased. So the maybe I had higher ... MoreThe Samsung Tablet is as expected. Some good, some not so good.

I also don't like that Google Play Store seems to be in cahoots with Apple in banning certain apps from being downloaded. Why does Google control what Samsung offers to their customers? Who's more important, Google or their customers? Apparently Google is. If this is their marketing strategy I'll never buy them again. We live in a country of free speech and these machines are restricting citizens from pursuing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If I knew that before buying it, they wouldn't have made $400+ These two issues give it a 3, and I'm tempted to go to 1.
The first thing you notice with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is its size. The 12.4", 2560x1600 LCD screen is vast, surrounded by thin bezels which only serve to enhance the screen's dimensions. It pushes the limits of ergonomics with its size, but if you can transport/use such a large screen, the device offers a lot. The tablet might be best described as upper-midrange, with the screen as the main attraction. It gets Samsung's useful S-pen, but not the Bluetooth version, so no extras like a shutter button. The screen is sharp and bright, but is a 60Hz LCD, unlike the Super AMOLED 120Hz screen on the Tab S7+. The processor is a Qualcomm SM7325, a 8-core chip aimed more at the midrange versus the 800-series chips, and it's paired with respectable but not jaw-dropping ... MoreThe first thing you notice with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is its size.

The processor is a Qualcomm SM7325, a 8-core chip aimed more at the midrange versus the 800-series chips, and it's paired with respectable but not jaw-dropping 6 gigs of RAM. In everyday usage, however, those differences from the flagship probably won't mean that much for most people. It's very fast and responsive, and the screen is a genuine pleasure to read on (I've found it wonderful for ebooks). No, it's not as buttery smooth as my high-refresh rate Galaxy S20+ phone, but that also means the screen isn't eating up as much battery life. With a monstrous 10090mAh battery, the run time is wonderful. You'll easily get all day usage out of it. The included charger supports rapid charging, but if you have a higher wattage Samsung charger, it will support even faster charging. There's a wide angle camera and a front-facing, but the front-facing camera is oriented for horizontal usage, like a laptop, not along the top like a phone. The tablet supports face recognition and it's reasonably fast/accurate. I would have liked a fingerprint reader as an additional biometric option. Samsung equips this tablet with a healthy 128GB of storage, and thankfully retains the microSD card slot for more, up to 1TB. The slot is located along the side and is easily accessed with the included tool--adding a 256GB card was simple. This is a great device for media consumption, so the storage expansion is a welcome continuation even if other features, like the rapidly disappearing headphone jack, are gone. The biggest issue with this is software, and it's a problem common to all Android tablets. Simply, Android is still not as well adapted to the tablet form factor as it is the phone. There have been strides towards this, but you will still across apps that feel like giant phone apps. Samsung, to their credit, have addressed this issue to an extent with DeX, which turns the Android interface into something very much like a ChromeOS desktop, and which definitely leverages the large screen size. I like the idea of DeX, but probably wouldn't use it personally for much (and I will say this tablet is worthwhile regardless of DeX). The key to getting the most out of the DeX mode is the separately sold keyboard cover, which is not cheap but would turn this into a full-fledged mobile productivity device. In the past, Android tablets have often been neglected with regards to updates. But I was pleased to have been offered a couple of updates after just a week of usage, and my Android 11 security patch is the August one (writing in mid-September). Not bad at all! Overall, this is a solid offering from Samsung. You get a lot for the money. The giant screen is amazing to use, performance is snappy, and there's plenty of storage. If you're inclined to use this for more than media consumption, Samsung's DeX gives a desktop interface that gives ChromeOS-like usability, helping to move beyond some of the limitations of the Android OS in tablet form. The inclusion of the (helpfully magnetic) S-pen furthers that capability, useful for notetaking, drawing, or just for interactions on screen. The large size is takes some getting used to--think about getting a protective case--but I'm not sure I'd want a smaller tablet, having used this. This will be my new go-to device for traveling, because it can do everything I need on the go. Recommended for most people, highly recommended for some niche uses.
This is an ideal tablet for those looking to write notes by hand (for school or business purposes), browse the web and play some basic games. The storage space is small, so an SD card is recommended. With the expanded storage, you can play some bigger games, but nothing too graphic or memory-intensive. My tablet has a hard time connecting to the internet sometimes. It is slow and often fails to load pages, though that may be a fault of only my tablet and not the whole line. The size is a little too big to be efficient as a hand held device. I almost returned the tablet because of how awkward the size is, but I found ways to work around it. I don't use my tablet for any texting/typing on screen and use the pen to write what I would type. It's sort of a novel ... MoreThis is an ideal tablet for those looking to write notes by hand (for school or business purposes), browse the web and play some basic games.

I don't use my tablet for any texting/typing on screen and use the pen to write what I would type. It's sort of a novel experience to write a quick text to my fily and friends rather than typing it. Speaking of writing, the hand writing-to-text software on this tablet is AMAZING. It is rediculously intuitive and always correct. It picks up printed letters, cursive, and a mix of both. I'm truely blown away by it. I can hand write all my notes for school and my notes app can easily take that and turn it into text! Great way to study.
Purchased on Black Friday on a trip to visit in laws. Went home with my purchase, charged it up, and was super happy with the tablet! Purchased it for drawing, and was pleased with the responsiveness and screen quality. That is until a few weeks later, when I noticed that when the device was under 30% battery it would just completely shut down. I would have to hard restart the device after charging. When I booted it back up, I thought it was strange that the battery life was already at 55%. Turns out that the battery in these newer samsung tablets degrades extremely quickly, and the device just sitting on the shelves or in a warehouse for so long means that by the time the consumer purchases the item, it might already be defective. Of course I wasn't able to return ... MorePurchased on Black Friday on a trip to visit in laws. Went home with my purchase, charged it up, and was super happy with the tablet!

Of course I wasn't able to return the item as it was past the 15 day window. So now I have a really nice and functioning tablet, with only 2/3 of the battery life, and no warning as to when the device will shut off. I wouldn't recommend this tablet for this reason. If I had known that the battry life would degrade like this, I would have bitten the bullet and sold my soul to apple instead.
