Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE Review! By GadgetByte

Hey guys it's me Fatima, and today I will be discussing Samsung's latest tab. S7Fe tablet in this full review priced at around 50, 000, Indian rupees or some 650 euros in the European market for the LTE variant. It goes head-to-head against Apple's iPad Air 4, which is a tough competitor to beat, as the name suggests. This tablet takes its inspiration from the company's premium tab s7 series from 2020, but while the primary philosophy of Samsung's fan edition smartphone consists of delivering a flagship level experience on a relatively lesser asking price, things seem to have taken a turn in a different direction, with the tap s7 Fe, unlike the snapdragon 865, plus on the regular tab. S7 dual performance sees a big dip here with a snapdragon 750 g5g chip on board. Therefore, the tab s7fe is definitely not for those who want a powerful do-it-all tablet or something that could replace your laptop since it also supports decks and keyboard input.

Snapdragon 750g is a mid-range chipset, so it's not all that bad. For the most part, its performance is fairly acceptable for everyday usage as well, and multitasking between lightweight apps is fine, although keeping four to five apps open for a while will result in app reload. Yet with this big screen real estate multitasking on this tablet has been a delightful experience, despite the minor hiccups every now, and then Samsung also lets you utilize this big screen by allowing up to three apps to be opened at once. As a result, I could be reading an article on the web watching a YouTube video about it and taking notes all at the same time, and if that's not enough, you can even add floating apps over the tree say you use a certain combo of apps opens, there's the option to pin them on the edge panel for quick launch too. Moving on the gaming performance of this tablet is pretty respectable, as well.

Relatively less demanding titles like asphalt, 9 and mobile legends, bang, bang play at their highest settings and run pretty smoothly. Similarly, Call of Duty mobile is playable at high graphics and very high frame rates, with practically zero frame drops or starters, whereas PUBG mobile renders smooth gameplay under balanced graphics and ultra frame rates. All in all the Galaxy Tab, s7 Fe is certainly not a winner in terms of its performance, especially if you look at what's powering the iPad Air 4. So for its price. I strongly believe Samsung should have gone with something like the snapdragon 870 or even the snapdragon 860, at least having said that, if your workload revolves around simple note-taking and attending online classes or sketching, this tablet performs with flying colors, but if possible, I will suggest you to skip the 4gb ram option altogether.

Ok, getting to the design side of things, the Galaxy Tab, s7 Fe, caught no corners at all. Apart from the missing magnetic strip for a stylus at the back, it's all metal body is indistinguishable from the flagship tab, s7 series- I am all here for this metal construction as this tablet is extremely well-built and feels very premium. You can choose from four soft hue finishes, and this mystic silver color option that I have with me looks quite classy weighing 608 grams. It is most definitely not the most comfortable thing you will hold, though so yeah this muscle exercise will definitely take some time to get used to regardless holding the tab. S7Fe with two hands is no problem.

Thanks to the excellent weight, distribution and chambered edges measuring 6.5 millimeters in thickness, this tablet is pretty thin too still, I do have a couple of minor complaints on the design front. First, you don't get a headphone jack in here and, secondly, Samsung has omitted a fingerprint reader on the tab. S7Fe also face unlock sometimes fails to work here when you have the tablet in portrait orientation. Since the front camera is on the side over to the display, you get a big 12.4-inch screen here. This size is similar to what you get with the tab, s7 plus, but the similarity between the two ends just there.

Unlike the vibrant super AMOLED panel, this fan edition device opts for a TFT panel. Instead, as a result, things don't look nearly as colorful as they would on an OLED display. Plus this screen does not incorporate a 120 hertz high refresh rate either, unlike the other entries in the tab, s7 series, so the noticeable jitter and delays when scrolling through the UI is a lot pronounced on this 12.4 inches display. Turning down the animation scale under developer options does help a lot, though anyway, the tab s7fe enjoys a 16 is to 10 aspect ratios for a tall, viewing experience packing a 2560 by 1600, we LGA resolution and a 243 PPI pixel density. The content look pretty sharp in here from icons, uh text to other UI elements.

I could not notice pix elation on the screen. Additionally, Samsung has certainly tried to spice up this TFT panel. I mean colors, look extra punchy here to the point where it looks over saturated, but if you prefer vibrant colors, I doubt you are going to complain still. It obviously cannot match the deeper blacks and energy efficiency of an AMOLED panel, though in terms of brightness. The tab s7fe delivers respectable visibility, even when you're outdoors viewing angles are fine.

As well, although I did notice mil dips glow in the bottom edge of the screen, apart from the display, the Galaxy Tab, s7fes a pen also differs from the one you get with the more expensive tab, s7 first off. As I mentioned earlier, there is no magnetic strip at the back of the tablet to charge the stylus. Instead, this standard Bluetooth, free stylus clips on to the side like this in Samsung's defense. It does come bundled inside the box, which is great um. Likewise, it's 30, millisecond latency is far off from the impressive nine milliseconds latency on the flagship tab, s7 plus now I am no artist by any means, so its 30 millisecond latency was not an issue for me under regular usage.

Like note-taking scribbling and the likes, I tried doodling a thing or two here and found that the advertised latency is barely noticeable, but I am sure professional digital artists will disagree regardless. This green spam rejection works wonders, and I did not notice a single instance of accidental touches either. This stylus is more than lightweight enough to dismiss any notion of discomfort, while its touch response is great as well. It is pressure sensitive too meaning that you can switch the intensity of a brush on the sketch pad, depending on how hard you press on the screen. Likewise, the side button also doubles as an eraser when you're making edits via Samsung notes, or it can trigger the stylus shortcuts too.

Anyway. There are multiple standout features to talk about here. Uh, the one I like the most is called s pen to text which is similar to scribble on the iPadOS 14. Basically, this transforms every text, input field into a writable area and converts your handwriting into text for some reason: Samsung disables this feature by default, so you will have to manually enable it other useful things this stylus can do includes text translation, smart selection and more okay. Let's now shift our gears to the cameras.

Unfortunately, Samsung's downgrade drift continues on this department as well. Although it is not one, I would classify as a dealbreaker while the standard tab, s7 duo, features a dual camera arrangement at the back. The tab, s7 Fe, skips the ultra-wide angle sensor and brings an inferior, 8 megapixel camera over onto the front. It has a 5 megapixel camera in a landscape layout and for a tablet. The quality of these cameras is pretty good.

I would say I attended multiple Zoom meetings with my friends and family and received no complaints regarding the video quality. Audio pickup from the microphone leaves no room for criticism either. Once again, this landscape camera layout is a great design choice and therefore makes attending online classes a merry experience. Now. Regular images from the primary lens look a bit over saturated while details turn out soft as well.

On the other hand, the selfie camera dials down saturation by a lot, although it cannot capture well detailed shots either. Similarly, this tablet could be a good multimedia consumption device thanks to its dual speaker setup. While this is still a rank below the quad speaker array on the regular tab, s7 series, I found myself enjoying its audio output. It can get more than loud enough to fill an average size room and the mid and highs sound, quite clear, but don't expect a lot from the bass department plus tuned by AKG. These speakers also support Dolby Atmos audio for an even more immersive listening experience.

Finally, about the battery the Galaxy Tab, s7 Fe features a big 10 090 William cell, just like the tab, s7 plus with a couple of sessions of everything, including gaming web browsing streaming, videos and attending video calls. I managed to get around six to six point five hours of screen on time here. This is fairly respectable endurance. If you ask me, however, in the charging department, uh Samsung is only providing a 15 watt charger inside the box, which takes like three hours to fully charge this tablet. It does support up to 45 watt fast charging.

So I tested it out with my 25 watt charger, which brought the number down to a little over two hours to wrap it all up the Samsung Galaxy tab. S7Fe makes a couple of crucial sacrifices, which invalidate its fan edition stature. First, it does not bring a flagship grade. Chipset that we've come to expect from a fan edition device, plus the company's decision to opt for a 60hz TFT panel is just baffling to me still. The included s pen is a good gesture and this tablet will suffice more than fine for light to medium usage.

So if you're thinking of getting the tab s7fe, I will suggest you wait for the availability of the Wi-Fi only model which will be slightly cheaper than this LTE 5g variant and hence will be a better value. Likewise, if you want sheer performance and are tied up with the Apple ecosystem, the iPad f4 is a no-brainer, so that was all for our full review of the Samsung Galaxy tab s7fe. We will be coming up with more of such review. Videos so stay tuned to our channel and do not forget to subscribe to our channel till then I'm pratimadi Kali, and thank you so much for watching this.
