SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S7+ Plus 12.4” 128GB Android Tablet w/ S Pen Included, Edge-to-Edge Display, Expandable Storage, Fast Charging USB-C Port, ‎SM-T970NZKAXAR, Mystic Black

Got this for drawing digitally, and painting digitally, while on the go. Works very well for that. I bought an Infiland Multi-angle Business Folio cover/ foldout case for it, which acts as a stand so i can draw while sitting in the car or in a park or whatever in comfort- It has a magnetic closure, plus a cut out for the pen to stick to the tablet, and a flap that closes down over the pen to hold it inplace- which was the main reason i bought it since i have a tendency to lose things easily. The case puts the tablet t sleep when it's closed, which is a nice feature too-The Camera on it- Meh- Not real great- Not a lot of details in the photos, a bit on the mushy looks side- I wouldn't use the cameras for taking photos that I would keep as family photos, but they are good enough for sharing online i suppose.The battery life? Meh- get a couple of hours Drawing, haven't really tested it by draining it yet- i usually use the machine about 2-5 hours, then recharge when it's about anywhere from 30-60%. The battery life is nowhere near the stated 'optimal case scenario'- But that was to be expected for those who do heavy work on them.The pen works a treat- Really like it. Only issue is that they don't sell replacement nibs apparently? Which would mean havign to buy a whole new pen if the nib wears out- I guess they claim the nib is made so it won't wear out too quick- but we'll see-Graphics are really nice- Not sure how the 'burn in' is going to affect this tablet- So far it's fine- no ghosting that I've noticed. I have removed all but three of my most used icons from front page, and i keep rearranging them on the screen every couple of days. Not sure if this is going to help, but we'll see- Love the deep darks on this tablet- makes working in painting apps very nice- Haven't tried watching a movie with it yet- but I'm betting it's gonna look fantastic based on what I've seen so far.The tablet does come with a bunch of stuff I wish i could just get rid of, but unfortunately Samsung doesn't allow you to delete some of their proprietary apps. If I'm gonna pay a lot of dough for something, I'd like to be able to decide what apps i have on it or not- to be able to reclaim some of the space they take up- but oh well-I bought a 400gb Samsung Extreme micro SD card for it which extends the storage quite a bit. It seems to be a bit slow accessing it though, which surprised me. In my desktop computer, it accesses almost instantly, but on the table it takes a good 8 seconds or so before you can see the files on the SD card-The MicroSD Card Slot is locked in, so you'll need a paper clip or the provided tool to unlock the slide in casing for the card- but once it's locked in, you shouldn't need to take it out if all you want it for is backup storage. It will be a pain though if I want to take the card out to transfer contents to desktop or other laptops- but oh well- Woulda just been nice if it had a slide locking mechanism or something to unlock the case for the cardOver all, so far, the tablet is very nice- just what i need for on the go drawing and painting- Haven't had it long enough to comment on other apps on it- but the ones i use work wonderfully- quite pleased so far with the purchaseI also bought a Anker USB C Cable, Powerline USB 3.0 to USB C Charger Cable (10ft) with 56k Ohm because the supplied power chord was too short. This chord is thick, well made- and works a treat- plugs right into the fast charger head of the Samsung provided charger- and charges the tablet very quickly. Takes about I guess 10 minutes to charge an 80% charged tablet i would guess? Maybe a bit longer or shorter- haven't really timed it, but it's plenty quickSo back to the table itself- The size is just right from drawing on on the go. The only downside to the aspect ratio is that some apps or pages don't render right- they only render in portrait mode it seems- but no big deal for me- though it might be for some folks-The tablet is very responsive- fast for the most part, except for accessing the SD card-

OK I love my tablet, unfortunately the case I bought for when I originally got it off of Amazon here when putting it on I think cracked the screen in my tablet I'm legally blind so I didn't notice it right away but a couple weeks later I was outside with it in the the sunlight and I noticed this hairline crack going through the screen I never did anything to it I treated this thing like a little baby and I thought with grilla glass that I didn't have to worry about it as much I mean I've had Samsung phones that I'm never cracked a screen on any phone that I've ever owned in years but this was a serious disappointment It's not affecting me usefulness of it somehow or another it has no effect on any of the digitizing or any of the working of the device otherwise I would rate this deviceTop notchBut the thing that really irritated me was neither Amazon Amazon with dealing with the manufacturer the case that are the case that was the offender in this situation or Samsung themselves would do anything about getting this repaired for me Samsung told me that it would cost me upwards of $325 to have the screen fixed and would take about a month for me to send it to them get it repaired and get it back and I use this every day it is my basic and the only communication with the outside world except for my phone and being legally blind it is also all my accessibility options I do my banking on here I do my ordering of things on here that I need to bring in my household et cetera And it is the only screen that I can put like 5" away from my face and actually see I'm alsoI am also currently using it to write a novel and I really don't want to have to dump everything on it off onto a card send it away not be able to write for a month and then try to get it all back on the tablet when it comes back to me but I can't afford the $325 to have it repaired when I just paid almost $700 for the thing however I did go on eBay and find a digitized screen you can purchase for like $35 I could take it to a local repair person and have it fixed I would imagine and that would be my go to for that situation when it does get to a point where it does affect anything which it doesn't at all I is all um I will probably do.On the basic workings of the item oh my God this thing's great the screen is great even with my bad vision I can tell a video is good quality the sound is pretty decent and hooks up with my Bluetooth headset very well all the accessibility options that I use like talk back and speech to text work fantastically and link and I am pretty d*** happy with it all in all in all otherwise.To rap things up the only thing is I'm just disappointed about the screen I literally got a neoprene sleeve for in a case in the case somehow or another being on the thing cracked the screen you would think that the gorilla glass would not allow that to happen it's just plastic it's just plastic but it does have one little cut out for the camera at the top that leans right on the glass and I think when it got put on there the pressure are putting the case on snapping it on damaged the glass but it shouldn't have been able to do that gorilla glass should have stood up to more pressure than that And I didn't put any major pressure on it I haven't dropped it even once I haven't bumped it against anything and even when I take it around places it is inside this case which is a military speck styleAnd inside the sleeve is neoprene.Just before warning if you do break your glass it's going to be upwards of $325 to get it fixed by Samsung and it's not included in the warranty and broken glass voids the warranty according to them another stuff which makes no sense to meBut I am not dissuading anybody from buying this particular item it is fantastic it's fantastic and I'm very pleased with it and I did give it a high rating 5 starsI would not say it's the equipment's fault that it is the way it is the way it is but I do say that it's Amazon and Samsung's customer service for not getting the repair taken care of because of the faulty case and his case and possibly faulty glass
