  • This is my long term review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus 6 months later. The Tab S7+ is the flagship Android and Samsung Tablet, and here are more thoughts. amzn.to/2MH2XYO (affiliate link)
    The Tab S7+ is a large and powerful flagship tablet from Samsung, and it even comes with a stylus - the ever popular Samsung S Pen - which even has air gesture support. The tablet is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ SoC which offers tons of power and is great for gaming, productivity, and works beautifully with the 12.4" AMOLED screen with 120hz refresh rate, which is gorgeous and the biggest reason to upgrade over the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 or Tab S5e. This is the best and biggest Android tablet that money can buy and also the most complete, and even has OneUI and Dex, plus Wireless Dex support! I've been using the Tab S7+ every day for about 6 months now and I have learned a lot about the Tab S7 Plus battery life/Tab S7+ battery life, the Tab S7 Plus screen/Tab S7+ screen, and much much more - and the Galaxy Tab S7+ price has even dropped! The Tab S7+ is the best tablet of 2020, and so far the best android tablet of 2021 (best tablet 2021).

      @@youremybiggestfan yes, you shouldnt wait such a long time for it to be on discount. i'd say wait max. 3 years. but after the tab s9 is released it won't be available on the official samsung store, so your best option would be to wait until the s8 and do a trade-in. (it will be even more valuable than it is right now in 6 years as it would most likely go as a collectors item, as there won't be many left in 6 years.)

    I just got a refurbished Samsung Galaxy s6 that I am absolutely loving. I'm really glad I went with the smaller size to be honest. I can totally see how the at 7 plus works for certain people but I'm really glad they kept their smaller 11-in version as well because I could not imagine going much bigger than the 10 and 1/2-in I already have. It's the right size for the mobility I need since I already have a 13-in laptop. Although funny story, I do not have a Samsung phone because I have a Google Pixel 3. You're right I I can't imagine why you would have an iPhone and a Samsung tablet but I thought it was funny because there's dozens of great Android phones that people compare with the Samsung tablet really well and that's exactly what I've done. Love that you do these updates months after the products come out, so often we see reviewers do unboxings and like 15 minutes of playing around with it and then you never hear from them again so it's really difficult as a consumer that maybe didn't buy it in the first two or three months. Reviews like this one are extremely helpful.

      The larger options of both Surface and S-tab products have slightly less dpi then the smaller versions, so the size increase isn't fully realised. If you hold and use the devices in your hand your will probably adjust the distance for legibility so you will end up seeing the sized rectangle with similar visual fidelity. The larger size options are best utilized as desktop replacements when using set still, sat at arms length.

    • @VladimirMizich
      @VladimirMizich 2 года назад +1

      I'm in a similar boat. I currently own a 10.1 Galaxy Tab A from 2016, and I'm looking into getting the Tab S7+ 8GB Ram 256GB model. Not sure if I need a tablet at the moment though, so I'm on the fence. The current Black Week deals from Samsung are pretty good though, so the S7+ would be a great investment.
      I used to use my Tab A mostly for media consumption (Spotify at home), and gaming (multiple 3D intense games), but then over the years I just moved all my Android tasks to my PC by using 2 or more emulators. I haven't touched my Tab A in over 12 months to be honest. With emulators you save battery life, can multitask more, and everything runs much smoother than it would on any tablet (iPads included). Emulators on a powerful computer.
      I'm struggling to find any use for a tablet (and a good tablet at that, either S7+ or a new iPad) for my personal life. A purchase would be hard to justify. Maybe consuming media on the go while I'm in my car, or finishing documents on the go (again, probably in my car), taking notes on the go...I'm not sure. Most people would just take a quick note on their phone, or make a voice note on their phone. Emailing is done through the phone, banking through the phone, moving files through the phone, music (Spotify etc.) through the phone. It's really tough to find use for a tablet.
      The only thing I like about the S7+ that I've seen videos of recently is the multitasking function, where you can run 3 apps/windows at the same time, you can save this 3 app configuration into one icon, and open it all at once by clicking on it. This is great multitasking. You can open 3 things you use on a daily basis really quickly (great especially for media and news). So the 3 app thing is great. There is is also the idea of having the S7+ as an extra extension to your PC; You can use apps like SuperDisplay or SpaceDesk for example to not mirror but "extend" your PC screen to your Android device. For a phone screen this would be overkill, because the gap between PC screens and a Phone screen is just to large (moving things over from your PC screen to a 6 inch phone screen is just silly), but for a large S7+ screen this makes sense. I'm using 2 large PC monitors for example, and I could have the S7+ on a stand as a third extended screen, where I could move things over too, detach the tablet, and walk through the apartment with it, either watching something myself, or showing people stuff. You aren't going to carry a 26 ince or larger PC screen with you...but you can conveniently carry a tablet with you as an extended screen. That's a plus.
      So there it is. I like the 3-app-multitasking function which you can safe multiple variations of, and minimize + open quickly, and I like the screen extension function. This is pretty much it. Now, it is worth it to get the S7+ just for that? I don't know. The Samsung deals currently are enticing though ($300+ off the original price, and I don't mean trade-ins, but regular Black Week price.... -300... it's great). My Tab A lags a lot, so it definitely can't do the things the S7+ can, but do I need a tablet at all, I just don't know. Probably not. But just in case, it's not a bad idea to get the S7+ when it's on such a large discount. I don't know. I definitely would not get it at full price.

Also has LOUD audio, even tho the speakers aren't in necessarily prime locations it really projects!You do need to get a case for this bad boy IMMEDIATLY though as it doesn't come with one.Battery life is really good! Standby time us FANTASTIC. This guy can go about a week on standby and be just fine. The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. There is no way to turn down resolution either, so it just be like that.Would still judge this bad boi at 10/10 for my first tablet. I've had it 3 months now and its not shown any evidence of "slowing down" or anything. Love it!

      Before this came out, the biggest Android tablets were under 11 inches diagonal.
      When reading e-textbooks on treadmills or elliptical machines, this meant that I had to constantly pinch and zoom on tables, diagrams, pullouts, etc, which is really annoying in the middle of exercise.
      The Tab S7+ is just big enough that I can read small text in e-textbooks without pinching or zooming even while using cardio machines at the gym.
      I absolutely would never use an official Samsung case. Those things provide zero drop protection, and I definitely need that at the gym.

      Its far better. I own both. I don't really see the Surface/Windows as having a tablet experience, it can be used as one though, but it works best with a keyboard. The S-tab is _far_ more responsive and snappy. There is no comparison in the pen also, in terms of responsiveness, handwriting recognition and usefulness. Drawing apps are better on the S-Tab. The screen of the S-Tab clearly wins too.

The internet wasn't fast and it was patchy and only in location of campus. Then laptops got more powerful as did phones and the whole Hotspot thing happened. Which made laptops useful. But as time progressed. I found laptops to be more ofna burden to Cary than anything. Tablets nowadays are so powerful that a keyboard and your good to go.

      What do you mean use it for video and RUclips? The camera is not mad. It's not as good as the phones but for a tablet its not bad. The tips wear down over time but you can replace the tips. It charges just fine with USB C

    S pen in previous models was so good there was only one problem with it namely: " -it was too good..."
    ... Actually there was second problem with it... -it didn't get lost enough... So they had to bring it outside...

    Just ordered this for my wife's Bday to replace her 10 year old? Amazon Kindle fire hdx 8.9. Hope she likes it. Arrives Saturday. We have unlocked Samsung S10 phones and are pretty happy with them.

      I use those all the time for work and study. Mostly in Dex mode - but either way, they are great and work absolutely fine!

    I just ordered this tablet(256/8GB) and I am excited to see how well it will function/sinc with the watch, phone and tv that I own. I had a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and the screen flicker was a nightmare! All my friends have apple products and I truly enjoy the iPad Pro. Since all of my media is Samsung. I figured I would give it a try. Does anyone have any suggestions for a tablet mount for the vehicle, when I am overlanding?

      @@Serrenoa Yes and the tablet functions great. It paired well with the phone, watch and TV. My only gripe is with some of the apps. Some of the apps were designed for a phone and not a tablet, Facebook is a perfect example. Gaia Gps app for the tablet in the vehicle, when out on the trails in nature, works great!

    Apple products are using usbc now, I have the 12.9 2020 iPad (my 1st apple product) and a Samsung Note phone,same charger lol, I just got the s7 +, when it comes to drawing or just apps in general Apple is just better you may have to pay a one time fee for the apps, but because of that the apple store app developers put way more effort into them, other than clip studio paint you just can't find art apps (or others)that are worthwhile on the play store, they just cannot hardly compete, but the Samsung tablets hardware is just awesome! I'll definitely be using this tablet for movie watching, the screen is to die for. It has expandable memory so definitely storing downloads on it, I like the seamless interface with my phone, the Xbox game pass is a great feature which I think is the only reason they can even compete with Apple on that front, having 2 front screen cameras is just smart. I kinda think that the Ipad sounds better though, but that's almost a tie. I've always liked Samsung products but after seeing apples store I'm torn, too bad apple doesn't have a oled option with a SD card slot and a dex mode with face id and fingerprint reader with a wide-screen camera, if they they had even 2 of those they'd blow Samsung out of the water,but I guess if someone had all that they wouldn't need to buy a tablet for a really long time, so that's probably why they don't.

    It's a great tablet I bought it about a month ago and Now my Galaxy note 20 ultra battery lasts longer because I watch all my movies and play my games on my tablet. That's primarily why I bought it in the 1st place To give my phone battery a break.
