seems to be a big improvement over my old 6 year old tablet

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is the last in the Galaxy Tab S7-series that, without doubt, were the best and most expensive Android tabl...

Decent LCD screen, Very well made and 2-year warranty, 3 Android OS updates and quarterly security patches, Wireless. Wired and On-device Dex

4/64GB is laughable for a premium tablet – it should be 6-8GB, 15W charger supplied but 45W capable at extra cost, Have to buy Active S Pen to get advanced features, 5G version 4/64GB only, No fingerprint sensor

My view of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is coloured by the features I deem most important in a slate that wants to be the best tablet . 5G is great, but I don’t believe cellular connectivity is a priority when you consider how most people use tablets, particularly when services such as BBC iPlayer...

Great included S-Pen stylus, Has 5G, Bright 500-nit screen, You want a huge 5G tablet : All versions of the Tab S7 FE come with 5G, which is unusual for a tablet.

Expensive, Weak CPU considering cost, LCD, not OLED, screen, You want a super-powered tablet : The Snapdragon 750G processor is a great match for a budget 5G phone, but it isn’t fast enough for a tablet at this price.

It’s lacking the picture and sound sophistication of its Apple rivals, but this big Samsung tablet has plenty of appeal of its own Big, 16:10 aspect display Bright and punchy pictures Strong battery life Screen lacks some sophistication No HDR Low-power bundled charger

There’s a lot to like about the Tab S7 FE, which impresses with its high-end design and excellent battery life. But the performance and display downgrades compared to the regular S7 and S7+ make it hard to justify – unless you find it with a big discount.

Premium build, Great battery life, S Pen included in box

Patchy gaming performance, 60Hz LCD display, Software not optimised for tablets

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE expands Samsung’s tablet portfolio to a new lower price point with an offering that really doesn’t feel cheap. Essentials such as the battery life, display, audio and design are all well taken care of, while software additions make it great for productivity.

Outstanding battery life, Crisp display, S Pen included

Keyboard cover is very basic, Charging takes too long, Android is a bottleneck

If you are someone who wants an expansive screen for consuming content and checking email, makes use of the S-Pen for jotting down notes, and needs computing power that meets your demand but wants a device that is portable and easy to carry, then the Galaxy Tab S7 FE fits the bill.

Does Samsung's mid-range slate pack enough of a productivity punch to take on the Apple iPad Air?...

good & bright panel, good workmanship, very long runtime, S Pen included

only 4 GB RAM, little memory, Performance, only 60 Hz

: A more than worthy FE alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus

: 12.4-inch 2K display, S Pen and more affordable pricing

: WiFi only, No bundled keyboard cover, passive S Pen
