Samsung Tab S7+ Wi-Fi - Black 128GB

Background:Being a bit of a tech geek I always liked to experience the different ecosystems on offer and over-do my research on any new device I was considering buying. I have primarily used an android as my phone of choice (with a couple of iPhones along the way) and an iPad as my tablet of choice.Samsung have always led the way for me when it comes to mobile screen technology and despite what many tech YouTubers say, OneUI offered some nice features that were not available on the more basic stock android. So when my first gen iPad Pro started to show its age after 4 years, the Tab S7+ was worth a consideration against a 2020 iPad Pro.The obvious stands outs:- The Tab S7+ had the better screen- The iPad Pro had the better (integrated) software and app ecosystem- For the same price, I could get the either the standard 11" iPad Pro or the bigger 12.4" Tab S7+ (pro's and con's here)The Decision:Originally I was concerned with the size of the Tab S7+, but the smaller S7 was using an LCD screen as opposed to OLED and if I was to go LCD - it would definitely be with the iPad.As I weighed up the pro's and con's of both (and after many many reviews) I had to be honest with myself on what I would actually use this device for. While the techy in me said, "you need all the pro features and specs, its all about 'productivity'..." the practical side of me said "well all you're going to do is watch YouTube, Netflix and browse the web..."So I asked myself what gives me that better experience, and what's the better value for money. Now while I do believe the iPad Pro will have a longer shelf-life (demonstrated by my old gen1 iPad Pro). Around £700 for the smaller iPad vs the bigger real-estate of the Tab S7+ was a big deciding factor for me. The screen is the primary thing I would interact with, I wanted it to be bright and a joy to work with. So while I had concerns about the size and weight, the software experience, and the overall shelf-life of an Android tablet - I decided to give the Samsung Tab a try.One Month Later:So, here we are. If you are still reading this you are in the same difficult and undecided place I was back then. You've done your research, but are still looking for that "silver bullet" or must-have feature that helps you pick a clear winner.After one month, I can tell you the Tab S7 plus is a great tablet. The screen is incredible, the customisability of the software is fun and lets you really make it your own. The bundled S-Pen is a great value-add (£100 extra with Apple) and Dex funny enough is turning out to be the added bonus I didn't realise I would enjoy so much. Not to mention its works in harmony with my S10 phone and TV (another walled-garden?).Do I regret my decision? No. Its got great build quality, fun software and a beautiful screen. The size and weight which I was worried about I have now got used to, and while the software does have its moments with certain apps... I have been able to work with or around these to the point where they are not as annoying anymore. What about all those Apple iPad Apps I can't use now you say? Well, I never really used them anyway. A majority of popular apps I use are either available on Android and work perfectly well. Or I can just use via a browser, like I would a laptop.Would the iPad have been the better choice? Yes if I wanted the best pick-up-and-go tablet where everything just works seamlessly without some customisation first. But, if like me, you're going to use this mostly for media consumption and some light work related tasks (email, documents, browsing) - then the Tab S7 plus is a great choice and you'll have the bonus of doing it all on a much nicer screen than the smaller 11" iPad Pro and at a slightly cheaper price.Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.

Quality costs money, but I'm so glad that I spent the money on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus with its enormous 12.4-inch screen.This is my second Samsung tablet. It works much like basic Android but has some additional pieces of Samsung software on it, which I mostly ignore. So I have pretty much a standard Android tablet to use.All of the apps open and respond almost immediately. I only play fairly simple games (rather than things that are very graphic-intensive) so I'm probably not using the tablet to its full potential, but I'm very happy with its performance.For me, I was keen to get this tablet primarily because of the much wider screen. I have to say that I'm impressed. The screen is gorgeous and a joy to use. Having upgraded from a tablet that was just over ten inches in size, this 12.4-inch tablet seems really large (in a good way). I can pick out more detail in videos that I'm watching; and it makes it easier for me to pore over photos while other family members look at them at the same time.The tablet is still surprisingly thin and light. I had expected that the tablet might be thicker or heavier in order to support a bigger battery and the much bigger screen. But the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus still feels thin and light to me.Clearly, this is not a cheap tablet. But quality comes at a price - and I am very pleased that I made this investment.

I absolutely love this tablet, the screen is pretty big, and with super Amoled technology running at 120hz is a treat for the eyes.The tablet is quite weighty, which should be expected, so if you're clumsy like Me, you will buy a protective case for it straight away.The sound quality of the speakers, especially with Dolby effects enabled is actually surprisingly really good, and with 4 speakers on it, it is also pretty loud whilst still maintaining pretty good sound quality.The tablet itself is super fast, the fingerprint sensor is pretty fast after the first few times where it seems to be learning I guess.Battery life is also pretty great, if you turn off the unnecessary stuff, it can last even longer. I've had it last 10hrs screen on time over 3 day period.Storage is ample, with options to expand further if needed.I will say, one thing I was slightly disappointed with was that Samsung only released the 128GB/6GB RAM version in the UK, whilst a lot of places in Europe received the 256GB/8GB RAM versions. A bit confusing and annoying not to have the option officially available to us.

Great tablet by samsung, screen, battery , sound quality, all great with pen included. And the tab s7 is even cheaper same specs apart from tab size and resAble to type documents on a bluetooth keyboard , draw , and write notes all really well. Great for movies , youtube, web surfing & gaming .Camera not as good as an s line of phone but it will take decent pics and vids.The screen is a fingerprint magnet so a cover is needed. And moving files round is easy using google drive so no need to worry about cables or memory as long as you have an internet connection. Takes about 3-4 hours to fully charge from near 0% but im fine with that, only comes with the one pen nib so id go easy on it or get replacements with the tab.Just a good alround multipurpose tablet with great specs

I LOVE this tablet. I've had it 4 years, I paid over 1k, I use it everyday, money well spent.For movies the display is clear and the sound excellent.My other main use is to DM for dungeons and dragons. Runs one note perfectly and multiple pdfs at the same time. Highly recommend
