This new announcement is a more powerful version of the previous Galaxy S6 tablet. It will be available as a wi-fi and 5G variant, where this option is possible. Fortunately, the 5G variant will be available in the United States and other countries that currently support the 5G network. Since this is a new release announcement, here is a full review of Galaxy S7+  that will help you decide if this is the right tablet for you.

Design

Regarding the design, the Galaxy S7+ looks very sleek. This a 12.4-inch tablet. Therefore, the dimensions are 11.22 x 7.28 inches. This makes this tablet perfect for all tasks. It is a large tablet that will ensure that drawing, video calling, and watching movies become an enjoyable experience.

It is only 5.7 mm thick. As a comparison, iPad Pro 12.9 is 5.9 mm, making it 0.2 mm thicker than Galaxy Tab S7+. Therefore, this is a very thin and lightweight tablet. In fact, it weighs only 571 grams irrespective if you decide to get the wi-fi version or the 5G version. Meaning, it will fit in a medium to large-sized bag or backpack, making it travel-friendly.

Galaxy S7+ has a full aluminum build with beautiful metal sides that provides a high-end feel. The corners are rounded, providing a sleek and modern feel to this tablet. Additionally, it comes in 3 different colors. That is mystic bronze, mystic black, and mystic silver. Therefore, you have the option to choose which tone will suit your style the most. However, it must be mentioned that the 5G version comes only in mystic black.

Display

The display is built from glass which will feel luxurious. The screen does have a bezel around the edges of the display. Therefore, the screen-to-body ratio is approximately 84.6 %. This ratio looks appropriate and should not affect the viewing experience.

Galaxy S7+ Tab has a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, which is mainly available only for Samsung devices, with a few exceptions of Asus devices.  AMOLED abbreviation stands for Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diodes. In practical terms, this type of display is thinner than the classic LCD display because the capacitive touchscreen is blended right inside the display. This also means that the responsiveness of the touchscreen improves. Furthermore, it offers a wide range of colors with an incredible degree of color clarity and greater resolution. Meaning, a better quality picture on display will be produced and an exceptional viewing experience can be achieved.

The resolution is 1752 x 2800 pixels. This equals around 266 pixels per inch which is a good resolution. Additionally, this tablet has HDR10+ technology. This allows the dynamic metadata to continuously tweak the display settings, ensuring that each image will have the best color possible. Furthermore, this model comes with a 120 Hz refresh rate. This implies that the displayed image refreshes more frequently than on devices with a lower rate. Therefore, it can be concluded that it will provide a wonderful and dynamic experience while watching movies, working on your art, or while playing games.

Performance

Galaxy S7+ uses Android 10, One UI 2.5 as an operating system. One UI 2.5 software improves the design and functionality of the previous One UI 2.1 version. It has been stated that this newer version will bring Google’s UI navigation gestures to third-party app launches and there might be improvements regarding camera features. However, there is no further information provided and only time will tell if this is an improvement from the previous version.

This tablet uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865+ chipset. Currently, it is one of the best mobile and tablet chipsets available on the market.  It has an Octa-core (Kryo 585) CPU and Adreno 650 GPU. This is a brilliant and fast-acting combination. For instance, Snapdragon 865+ improves the Kryo 585 CPU performance by 10% higher than the standard 865 version. Furthermore, the Adreno 650 GPU gains a 10 % faster graphics rendering capability.

It comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This is more than enough to enable you to play the newest games and apps without issues. However, you can also choose more memory if you feel the need for it. For this reason, it is possible to get this tablet with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Additionally, it has a dedicated MicroSD slot, enabling you to expand memory up to 1TB.

Therefore, it can be concluded that you can expect a high-end performance for gaming and AI applications.

Battery

Galaxy Tab S7+ has a non-removable Li-Po 10090 mAh battery. On average, you will be able to get up to 14 hours of video playback time before needing to charge the tablet again. It also comes with 45W fast-charging technology. With this technology, the device can be charged from 0% to 50% in just 20 minutes. However, to take advantage of this, a specific charger will be required and, unfortunately, it does not come with the tablet.

Camera

It has a rear camera, as well as a front camera. The rear camera has a dual-camera system. It consists of a 13MP primary camera and a 5MP ultra-wide camera. Additionally, it has an HDR feature, panorama feature, and 4k resolution videos can be recorded.

The front camera consists of a single 8MP camera, which is decent when compared with other tablets. For example, iPad Pro 12.9 only has a 7MP front camera. That said, Galaxy Tab S7+ does not have any additional features attached, such as a face-detection feature.  Regarding the positioning, it has been moved to the right-hand side edge. This is brilliant if you plan to use your tablet for video or conference call, or prefer taking photos in landscape mode. However, it can take some getting used to for selfie-taking. In general, it can be concluded that good-quality pictures can be achieved and will satisfy the average user.

Sound

This tablet comes with 4 stereo speakers, which is a good amount. A couple of speakers are positioned on the top and a couple on the bottom. The loudspeakers are tuned by AKG technology. This ensures that a truly pure sound, which is free from any sound distortion, can be provided. Therefore, precisely tuned sound for gaming, for videos and for listening to music is achieved.

Unfortunately, it does not have a 3.5mm jack. This means that wired earphones cannot be used with this device and will require a wireless headset. This is not a big con. However, if you plan to use your tablet while commuting and do not have a Bluetooth compatible headset, this may not be your perfect tablet or will require you to purchase a new pair of earbuds.

Features

The most noticeable feature is the S Pen stylus which is similar to one that came with Galaxy Tab S6. The stylus can be magnetically attached to the back of the tablet. It has a specifically designed place at the back of the tablet. Therefore, you will not have to worry about losing the stylus. Additionally, once the stylus is attached, it will automatically start charging.

Furthermore, the S Pen stylus has been improved. The latency of the stylus has been cut down to just 9ms, which is great news. This will provide a more life-like experience while writing or drawing with the stylus.

This tablet has an in-display fingerprint sensor. Meaning, it will react efficiently and the tablet will unlock with ease. For additional security purposes, it also has a facial recognition feature. In fact, it is rare to have both facial recognition and fingerprint sensor. Therefore, it can be stated that Galaxy S7+ will feel more secure than other tablets.

Furthermore, this tablet has an ANT+. This is a wireless protocol used for monitoring sensor data. For example, it should enable you to monitor your heart rate and sports and fitness activities. Additionally, there multiple other features, such as Samsung DeX, compass, accelerometer, and gyro.

  • It can be purchased with a 5G network in countries where it has been enabled.
