Welcoming an interesting experience, I got to use the younger sibling the Galaxy Tab S7 series for some time to see whether or not the device helps you in multitasking and if it should be purchased right now. Read on IndiaTV Tech’s review to know.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Review: Design
Tablets as a type have gone through several changes since the last time I used one when I was a kid. They certainly have become well-designed and ensures portability, the main purpose for their inception in the first place. The Galaxy Tab S7 is a tablet that carries these two traits with it. It is sleek and good-looking with tints and tones of premium. The flat edges give the tablet well-finished look. The device is quite light and solves the purpose of carrying it anywhere you want. Upfront, there are thin bezels for better viewing but they haven’t been completely eliminated.
The Tab S7, while ensuring a good build quality, has a sense of minimalism that makes it look better. It comes in Mystic Black, Mystic Bronze, and Mystic Silver colour options. I got hold of the black one, which is a combination of black and grey and makes the aluminium chassis pop up a little.
Aesthetics-wise, it features dual rear cameras arranged vertically in the top left corner, which merges into a black strip, also aligned vertically, The black strip is magnetic in nature and is meant to reside the S Pen. This is followed by Samsung branding. There is also an AKG branding on the right side in the middle. The display has thin yet visible bezels and a front camera in the middle of the right side. If you place the tablet horizontally, the selfie camera appears to be at the top. The left side houses the pogo pins to connect the keyboard cover and the left side has the power on/off button (also doubles as the fingerprint scanner), the volume rocker, and the SIM tray. There are speaker grilles on the four corners of the tab. There is also a USB Type-C port for charging at the bottom edge.
The device more or less looks like the iPad Pro 2020 and even like the latest iPad Air 2020, mainly due to the flat edges. But this little similarity in detail apart, the Galaxy Tab S7 is one good-looking and lightweight you would want to get.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Review: Display
The Tab S7 has an 11-inch TFT display with 2,560 x 1,600 pixels screen resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The display is smaller than the 12.4-inch Super AMOLED display seen on the Galaxy Tab S7+. However, it proves to be just apt as a device that falls in the middle of a smartphone and a laptop. The comfort of usage is further ensured to its sleek design.
The display, much like various Samsung displays, has proved to be quite an amazing deal. While the S7 lacks a Super AMOLED screen, the viewing experience has been a good one throughout my usage period. The colours appear bright, colourful and detailed. Although oversaturation sets in, by now I have adjusted to this nature of Samsung products and the vivid content feels good at times. The display supports light and dark modes, adaptive brightness, and the option to change the refresh rate. Much like my experience with the Galaxy S20+, the 120Hz display on the Tab S7 proves smooth and quick, making the usage a lot better. But, it takes a toll on battery life. You can anytime go back to 60Hz display via the settings to avoid that.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Review: S Pen, Keyboard
The S Pen is the Tab S7’s main highlight and one of the reasons why it makes it more productive. It is a traditional-looking pen with a button to operate. While letting you scroll through stuff and perform actions on the tab, the S Pen also supports gestures for more convenience. There is a pen logo on the display that allows you to perform tasks such as create notes, Screen Write, AR Doodle, Translate, Live Messages, and more. You can take images, zoom in, and more by pressing the button or swiping the pen like a wand.
Throughout my review period, the S Pen proved to be a fun and productive companion. Using it to scroll through the tablet or for scribbling around was easy and fun. Although, there were times when it didn’t work as smooth as expected. Another problem that I faced was the constant need to connect the S Pen to my tablet as it lost connection quite often. Overall, the usage was smooth and those who like using a stylus to work around, the S Pen and the tablet can become your go-to device
