Beginning Design Display Camera Equipment Battery Price Conclusion Comments from Stefan // 07. 11. 2020 15: 00 Clock

With the Galaxy Tab S7 +, Samsung has been breaking through the 11 – Customs limit and only packs high-end technology including OLED display and pen in the delivery box. In the test we show what the top tablet can do.

Apart from a few exceptions with some well over 10 inches most manufacturers of Android tablets are on 10, 1 inch agreed as the standard display size. Samsung breaks with this “normality” and gives its top tablet Galaxy Tab S7 + a whopping 12, 4 inches at high resolution and in OLED quality, the manufacturer also puts everything in the tablet that can be found on the high-end shelf in terms of technology. Owners of an iPad Pro will rub their eyes: The stylus called the S-Pen is included in the Galaxy Tab S7 + despite the tablet’s already lower price, so the best prerequisites for top marks in the test – right?

Design What a board! That’s the first thing that came to mind when unpacking the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 + and that’s why this thought made it into the headline. Because Samsung combines the huge display, which takes up almost the entire front thanks to its evenly narrow bezels, with just under 6 millimeters thin aluminum housing. Overall, the Galaxy Tab looks fragile and extremely high quality at the same time. Although the tablet can be twisted easily (no wonder given the slim design), the device still makes a fairly robust impression, provided that you handle it properly. The monolithic construction increases the fascinating impression even more. The manufacturer chooses a very angular design language, but the device is not sharp-edged. Only the size of 266 × 185 Millimeters and the resulting high weight of 575 grams makes long-term use in the hand difficult. In the long term, it is therefore advisable to use it lying on the table or in the optionally available keyboard cover.

When lying on flat surfaces, the camera unit protruding around a millimeter on the back hardly disturbs, due to the sheer surface of the tablet, the model is largely wobbly when operated. The entire back is made of aluminum. On the sides, antenna strips perfectly integrated into the metal can be seen as a design feature. A long black strip of glass extends from the camera, which serves as a docking and charging option for the stylus included in the scope of delivery. It is slightly flattened on one side and is held in place magnetically when it is correctly attached. A briefly shown on the display shows the charging status of the pen called S-Pen.

The holding force is strong enough that the stylus does not fall off by accidentally jostling or shaking the tablet. Nevertheless, this type of storage gives the impression of being intended for in between. An integration of the S-Pen as in the current Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report) is because of the thin design of the tablet and the stylus in normal pen size and thickness but not otherwise possible. Despite the unibody of the Galaxy Tab S7 +, the tablet is not waterproof and dustproof.

Display In addition to the ultra-thin design, the huge display is the most impressive. That is next to the sheer size of 11, 4 inches especially on the Brilliance that the panel exudes. Colors are shown brightly, but without the candy look of earlier OLEDs and the contrasts with the abyssal black are inspiring. This is basically the same with good smartphone displays, on over 12 Zoll, it is even more impressive. In addition, Samsung gives the screen a refresh rate of 120 Hertz donated. In combination with the strong hardware, moving content is displayed absolutely fluently – great. In contrast to the manufacturer’s smartphones, it works there s not only with reduced Full HD resolution, but also the full 2800 × 1752 Pixels of the Tab-S7 + display. By the way, this brings up the screen 257 Pixels per inch – less than a smartphone, of course, but enough to be considered sharp because of the usually greater distance to the eye.

The viewing angle stability is particularly successful. Even from very flat viewing angles there are no noticeable color changes and the brightness remains almost the same. In the end, there are only two limitations: the reflective Gorilla Glass 3 surface of the panel and the brightness. Both prevent effective outdoor use. The brightness, which – at least in automatic mode – is otherwise more of a parade discipline of Samsung’s OLED screens, even represents a weak point: Even in bright ambient light, we were only able to 450 measure cd / m2. That is little for a top-quality product, especially since Samsung is already at the 1000 – Candela mark scratches. The manufacturer is thus banning the Galaxy Tab S7 + to the home office – terrace or park are largely denied. Too bad. One reason for this could be the power consumption, which in such a thin tablet (and correspondingly limited space for a powerful battery) with such a large screen quickly becomes a problem.

Camera Traditionally, the cameras on the back of a tablet are of little use and the front camera becomes the main camera. It’s not that bad with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 +, but users shouldn’t expect too much. Compared to a good smartphone camera that Samsung uses in its top models such as Samsung Galaxy S 20 Ultra (test report) or Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report) is missing the 13 – Megapixel main lens and the only 5 megapixel wide-angle lens for image sharpness and richness of detail. At first glance, this is hardly noticeable in the full screen view, especially since the image dynamics are decent and image noise is kept within limits. On closer inspection, however, fine structures always appear a bit washed out.

The camera is fine for a tablet The wide angle is almost surprisingly good – Despite its low resolution, it also ensures acceptable image quality, even if distortion and chromatic aberration are visible towards the edges. As the light decreases, the image quality of all lenses quickly drops to the point of being unusable – a typical tablet problem. The front camera takes pictures with 8 megapixels and is well suited for video chats with up to 4K / 30 possible are. Neither the less than optimal image sharpness nor the somewhat weaker contrasts compared to the main camera on the back are noticeable. The selfie camera does a satisfactory job and offers many software features.

Furnishing At In terms of hardware, Samsung builds all kinds of cutting-edge technology into the Galaxy Tab S7 +. This is how the tablet is operated by a Snapdragon 700 + powered, Qualcomm’s fastest chipset currently. It is combined with 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM – it is fast, but 8 GB are no longer state of the art. Some gaming smartphones such as the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel even come with 16 GByte therefore. A real difference to the 8 GB of the Galaxy Tab S7 + should only be noticed in exceptional cases, so the choice of RAM size is not a real point of criticism. Especially since content in interaction with the 90 – Hz display can be displayed absolutely smoothly and the tablet never gave the impression of reaching its performance limits at any point during the test.

The Tab S7 + is also really fun in games That confirms that Result of around 12. 500 Points in PCmark Work 2.0 – that is significantly less than with some smartphones with the same chipset, but still a very solid value. The good performance is also evident in games such as PUBG-Mobile, in which the tablet offers a smooth display even with the highest graphic settings. This is very impressive on the large display and offers strong immersion, but the tablet becomes a bit heavy in the long run. Various solutions, as we have summarized in our guide for perfect mobile gaming, provide a remedy. However, users are welcome to do without the Bluetooth speakers mentioned there. The four loudspeakers on both sides of the display deliver loud and clear sound that is even seasoned with sufficient depth – it just doesn’t get much better with such a thin housing. This also makes it easy to watch series that are really fun with the brilliant display. The stylus included in the scope of delivery is great, because its natural size makes it easy to hold. The latency when writing or drawing is kept within tight limits. Thanks to the large range of apps such as Autodesk Sketchbook, great works of art can be created – provided that the user has mastered it.

The stylus only works really safe on the go with the expensive keyboard cover While the stylus shouldn’t be lost so quickly when charging thanks to the strong magnetic hold, it still looks a bit out of place when attached to the back of the tablet. It is different with the optional keyboard cover. This not only has a good full keyboard including a complete row of numbers, F-keys, arrow keys and even a touchpad, but its cover for the back also encloses the stylus. Users can easily free it from its transport position by folding down a small part of the back. In addition, the steplessly angled lower half of the cover allows the display to be set up at any angle even above 90 degrees beyond. The cover is round 150 Euro not exactly cheap, but in combination with another monitor with features such as Dex (wireless or for less latency via USB 3.2) it is a real PC replacement for simple office applications.

We didn’t like the fingerprint sensor that much. It is hidden in the display and is well positioned due to its placement near the edge, but did not work as accurately in the test as its counterparts in Samsung smartphones and the unlocking speed should also be a bit higher. With the internal storage, however, there is nothing to complain about. The 256 GB of UFS 3.1 memory in the S7 + tab is quite fast and can be reached with 19. 900 Points in PCmark Storage a decent result. There is nothing to complain about with the rest of the hardware either. A look at the table shows what goes with it.

Samsung still relies on Android for the software 10 – especially with tablets, a comparatively slow update supply is unfortunately normal. Currently Android is included 11 not yet found. Tablets with Android 07 we have listed here (advice). The security patch for the Tab S7 + is from October and is sufficiently up-to-date at the time of the test in early November.

Battery pack 10. 0 90 mAh is provided by the battery in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 +, which sounds like a really good value in such a thin tablet. 14 Samsung specifies hours of runtime for its top tablet – but without exactly to define how they are composed. However, this information cannot have come from a realistic scenario. This contradicts both our impression that we were able to make of the tablet during the test period and the PCmark battery test. With a fixed brightness of 185 cd / m2 the tablet came here only around 7.5 hours – compared to many other devices that is not much. The predecessor Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (test report) at least managed over 11 Hours.

However, the new model offers 120 Hz, experience shows that in this scenario it eats up around 1 to 2 hours of running time – even then the Tab S7 + wouldn’t be a runtime wonder, however. This is where the extremely thin design of the top tablet has a negative impact. Samsung could have provided compensation elsewhere, but does not even try: when charging. This takes over 3 hours with the Galaxy Tab S7 +, which is also possible with a battery beyond the 10. 00 0 mAh more quickly. That doesn’t work wirelessly with the Tab S7 +.

Price The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 + is available in black, silver and bronze. Different memory configurations are missing, users can only choose between the wifi-only variant for 954 Euro (RRP) and the 5G version for 1149 Select Euro (RRP). The recommended keyboard cover costs just under 150 euros in the RRP.

Main difference to the cheaper Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (without the plus name suffix): 5G is not available for this, and an IPS LCD is used instead of the OLED .

Conclusion The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 + is a top-of-the-line tablet that we see designed for use in our own four walls. Then neither the somewhat dark display nor the not quite as long-lasting battery matter. Instead, the chic device scores with a brilliant display, terrific performance and elegant design and looks good on any desk or sofa. The included stylus completes the overall package. Thanks to the corresponding app offer and the expensive but excellent keyboard covers, the tablet should even do a good job in home office use – if that’s not enough, you should take a look at our guide to homeschooling solutions (guide).

Overall, the Tab S7 + is a great piece of technology, but it also has its price – even if it is lower than the direct competitor iPad Pro. If you don’t want to spend that much, you should take a look at the predecessor Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (test report), which is now much cheaper.
