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.

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

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

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

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.

Exceptional battery life, large and vibrant screen, S Pen included in the box

Middle-of-the-road performance, not all apps are optimized, keyboard folio isn’t included in the price

: 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

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

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

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

Very good unit. Nice large screen size with long lasting batteries. This is quite a powerful unit and ideal for the average home user. It is ideal for using as an ebook reader also because of the long battery life.
