I used to tell people about that and they said, oh come on, you're just nit picking. Now I see reviewers talking about the same thing. I had a Galaxy Note Pro 12 and then I bought an iPad Pro. Taking notes, the clickity click on the screen was annoying. I tested it on my Note Pro 12 and it is very quiet so I never noticed it. For me it was a big deal when taking notes. Not so much when drawing.

Standby time us FANTASTIC. This guy can go about a week on standby and be just fine. The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. There is no way to turn down resolution either, so it just be like that.Would still judge this bad boi at 10/10 for my first tablet.

@@ArthurProMax5G you cant say either one is 'better' because both have tools that the other dont have.

An AMAZING, unbiased, authentic review that goes super in depth. This is exactly what I needed, thank you!!! I'll be watching more of your videos to help me make my decision :)
Wow finally an artist review, and with clip studio paint! Great review as usual, Teoh. iPad's performance on art stuff has been unreachable for a while now. All of my friends who works as illustrator and comic artist, and even hobbyist (like me) uses iPad and its pencil. The ones who has Samsung Tab are those who work outside art community (not including me, since the iPad, haha). With this release, can't wait to see what'll happen on the tablet world among artists.
I don't really agree with your absoluteconclusion that all professional artists use iPads, that's just a misconception. I can say something different since many of my colleagues also use the Tab S6 as part of their workflow in Illustration and Industrial Design. I acknowledge it's more common to see professionals using iPads, but keep in mind that not everyone likes Apple and their anti-consumer practices. Some of us prefer the versatility of an operative system like Android that can be easily incorporated inside a multi-device set up without having to invest ridiculous ammounts of money on a single ecosystem. That's why the Tab S6 has been such a champ, because you can synch it to any Win 10 workstation to be able to go back and forth between projects. Now the Tab S7 and s7+ are only coming to improve on this and honestly speaking; I'm just so happy that these days, our creative community has the option to choose whatever tech fits and adapts best to their creative endeavors and workflow.
@@davsdf1 You are spot on! There are just as many artists who do NOT use an ipad for ANYTHING, especially professional work. In fact many pros use large Wacom Cintiqs that are connected to heavy duty desktop PCs. Sometimes they are connected to Macs as well. Today we have choices. I think ipads are fine for some but certainly not my cup of tea. They dont work for me at all.
I think this is why it doesn't need to be on top or on the sides of the tablet for charge. You can draw and use the pen without charge for as long as you want. It can easily recharge in the time you don't use the tablet and have a new charge for smart gestures when you're using it again. I bought the book cover for it and they have an open space for the pen area and camera on the back. So it can easily charge while using it as well. I think its only kinda awkward in laptop mode. Pulling the flap back to retrieve it. But that might be preference. A snug, safe spot for your pen isn't a bad option either.
@@mbovb006 did you know you can put it on the top just like on the iPad (just a bit more to the right with back close to the edge)? It doesn't charge but it holds very well.
I have watched so many videos on the tab s7 plus. For the first time I feel well informed on the performance and capabilities it has to offer. Thank you so much for these videos. A+
You can actually attach the pen to the top of the tablet, similar to the Ipad ! Doing so doesn't charge the pencil but its definitely alot more convenient as compared to reaching to the back of the tablet. Love your videos!!
finally an artistic review of this tablet! thank you very much for bringing this video, almost all reviews of this tablet only talk about specifications or performance but rarely about art
Hey, just wanted to correct that the smaller Tab S7 does have the 9 ms latency with the 120 Hz display like the Tab S7+. But overall thanks for the awesome review, hope for more contents like this.
@@rsin207 the tab s7 has an IPS LCD screen and the tab s7+ has a Super AMOLED screen. Both have HDR10+ and 120hz refresh rate though. One other difference is that the tab s7+ screen has the fingerprint scanner built in whereas the tab s7 has the fingerprint scanner on the side of the device.
This is exactly what I wanted to see. It included all the details I am looking at in comparing the other top tablets when looking for a digital art tablet for standalone. Digital Artists, what do you use on a regular basis? What’s your favorite apps?
@@goochipoochie but all together, theres 600 price dif. Im just wondering it is enough for non professional drawing with some note taking, or ipad2020 is worth to pay 600 more.
Excellent review. Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. I was torn between iPad Pro or Air 4 or this one S7 plus, having owned a Galaxy Tab S3 since release and never had any issue, just lagging a bit now, but I can still draw well on Sketchbook. As you have properly shown in details all of the info, unlike some Apple-biased superficial reviewers out there, I made up my mind now thanks to your video.
I'm personally not an artist but I do plan to use the s7+ for lots of notetaking and light drawings, and I might lend it to my artist sibling just for their enjoyment. Thank you for your insightful video!
I laughed SOO much at this comment! Thanks for that, really cracked me up! (I agree 100% , i am SO glad i didn't buy an iPad until now that the S7 is out)
For temporary SPen storage, you can stick the SPen to the bottom left/right edges of the tablet. It has the magnetic capabilities meant for the keyboard there.
Thank you so much for this review! took me long to find an artist show the drawing samples and im very very close to buying this since i cant afford ipad as the ipencil is a different expense :,) thank you so much!
Thanks for the video! So detailed and very in-depth! Nice to have an artist review because it definitely helps other artist! I moved from wacom to Ipad and I'm excited for the wacom feel stylus in the S Pen, not to mention the hover detection!
Oh fascinating. I just think I'm tired of the apple pencil. It was such a huge and expensive jump to an ipad and after 2 years I'm still not use to the pen. On top of that, the feel of drawing on glass. Very triggering. I feel the wacon experience cannot be beat, but damn I need mobility. Thanks for informing me.
I don't know someone already said it, but you can actually attach the pen on the top of the tablet, there are magnets there. It just doesn't charge, but if you need to quickly put the pen somewhere, you can do that.
Thanks a lot Teoh, was waiting for artists to review the s7 plus and last checked yesterday again if there is some new review for this tablet exclusively for drawing and your video popped up.
Thanks for doing this review!! As usual it was really insightful and detailed and I liked how you elaborated on all the different drawing applications that can be used on android as well as on microsoft. Will definitely be trying them out, thank you! 😄
Thank you for covering excellent info that I don't have to go around looking for extra info for! Nice job in also including a list of art programs, and how good they are (or not). Excellent as usual!:) I also prefere the case that has the pen to the side of the tab without a back 'bump'. Yeah!
It's been a long time since I've been using my tab for making notes. This tablet has been proven very helpful for me. The funny part is when I was writing on my register with pen, I was trying to scroll the page to write more lines. 😅
Just got mine to replace my iPad pro since you had me convinced in your comparison review, I think I made a great informed decision many thanks! Will be anticipating for your Clip Studio run-through. Great reviews by the way, subscribed!
@@vvskiitlesvv not sure if they can be compared since I got the Pro from two generations ago. Although in terms of usability they're both really good at what they do being flagships, so it's just about app support/ecosystem in the end. One year in and it's been going great, I very much prefer the tab!
Thanks for this. I just can't make up my mind between getting the S7+ or the iPad Pro 12.9, for arts and notes. So I'm very much looking forward to your upcoming comparison vids.
Rico,..I was in the same boat. I think its a slam dunk in favor of the Samsung now that it offers the DeX GUI as a feature. That is HUGE for me. Plus you get so much more in regards to specs for less money.
@@ToddDolce I agree, the S7+ is the best bang for the buck, comparing just the hardware. Although the iPad Pro's CPU is a lot faster than the Snapdragon, the Amoled display, more RAM and included S Pen on the Samsung is pretty awesome indeed. It's mainly Apple's superior apps ecosystem that makes the choice so difficult for me.
Outstanding review! Very clear, thorough, and paid attention to the important factors that are relevant to me as someone who is using this as a tool. This helped me make my choice. Thank you.
You can attach the pen to the top right (just like the iPad but the back end is close to the right edge). It will not charge but the capacitor can keep it for a very long time and it holds there very nicely.
I have the samsung galaxy tab s7 plus and its good!! The draw app taks a bit of time to understand but its nice app! Noteshelf for school is great. The tablet Makes school a lot more fun and easy. Xx
Thank you for your very detailed review. I've been looking at buying a tablet and your video certainly provides the most detailed information of any I've encountered.
This was a super video, thank you. I have been thinking about a tablet for a year or so, always disappointed by price-vs-performance (thinking especially about display size; battery life and available apps). I had been thinking of a Remarkable 2 or a Lenovo Tab M10 Plus, but I always wanted the AMOLED display - and that's why the Tab S7 was a non-contender. Now that I've seen first-hand what the Tab S7+ can do, I've just bought it. Thanks for showing us how good the illustration can be with the available apps! I have a question that perhaps you or the community can answer: I want to use the tablet to maintain a D&D character sheet but not by using a specific D&D app; I just want a PDF template that I can write and draw on, using the s-pen. Is this doable? I'd want to do that offline, too, so none of this Adobe Cloud stuff. Ideas?
@@JustAGal217 I suspect he's just commenting on the audio editing; a lot of microphones make "s" sounds a lot stronger than normal (sibilance), which can be softened back out through a process call de-essing (not that I know how to do this personally, but such methods do exist). Putting said minor audio issues aside, super thorough and helpful review.
I like amoled but i’m very scared (traumatized actually) of screen burn in. Happened to my note 5 and s6 (phone) in less than a year. Hopefully the tech is more improved now to be resistant to burn in especially now they are putting it in larger devices like tablets where there are plenty of static images (like tool icons during drawing). Wonder if anyone can share their experience here.
Chaika Gaz yeah for phones that’s the case. But for larger devices and pc there’s plenty of static images. My example are those tool icons and ui elements in drawing apps. And of course doing art could take some hours
There appears to be slight differences in CPU performance. The S7+ has slightly more pixels, and thus should have slightly worse performance on certain benchmark tests (because the CPU has to keep track of more pixels), but it has slightly better performance on those benchmarks.
I was waiting for this video! I'm glad you made it really in depth, especially from an artists point of view and the timing for the video is great since pre orders are about to go up in the US. I can't wait for the ipad pro 12.9 inch comparison video. You got a couple things wrong in the video and I know you are now aware but want to make it clear to viewers that might have missed other people's comments, you can in fact attach the S pen to the side of the tablet magnetically and the regular S7 does support the same 9ms latency of the pen. In fact you can even use the new s pen on the S6 from what I saw, though missing air gestures most likely.
Pls show below tests; 1) MS office word & excel - creating the fresh file, entering some data, and saving it. 2) Downloading an excel file from the email, editing, and saving it. 3) Converting word and excel to pdf 4) Word, Excel & ppt supported formats - like ex: MS Office 2003, 2007, or 2010 what it supports, and while saving do we have the option to select any of the above options. 5) PDF editing and saving (pdf created in normal adobe in a pc/laptop)
Sergio See when u have a high end tablet and when u are on travel or a day/two day business travel when you have this, just u can carry this. If ur point is that then why would someone buy at tablet at 1000$ rather at 500 to 700$ u get a laptop itself. So some features when u pay premium, these are expected and they also promote DEX mode right a biz traveler need it.
@@kirann2879 because tablets have shifty processors and for the price of a premium tablet you can get equally small laptop that gets a lot more done. Tablet is more for entertainment purposes, no business owner can work on them.
this tablet review is art focused. you cant expect him to make seperate review for those things. MS Office on tablet does not have full features of desktop version anyway. what you dont get on your phone is what you dont get on tablets so try them on your own phone. Get a Surface tablet if you want full Windows/Office
I have to say, you are really good at explaining and showing things. I feel like I'm right there in the room with you looking at these tablets. This was very well done, thank you so much.
Hi Teoh! I love this tablet and I'm considering on getting it once the price is reduced. My main question is do you know if you can record the screen while drawing? Most of my videos are speedpaints, I usually do them on my computer but recently I had to send it to repair so I would like a backup work tool. Thank you! Also, if anyone has the answer to my question please feel free to comment. It will help me a lot to decide.
What I hate about the most drawing apps on tablets is that they are subscription-based. That's why, I want something like Affinity or Procreate to come to Android (the latter is unlikely to come). I want to switch to this tablet, but I might have to wait.
Skectchbook is fantastic, I'm proficient in other apps as well but for some reason I simply love the uncluttered interface Sketchbook offers besides its availability in all operative systems. It's just like whenever a new idea hits my brain, I open the app and get straight to drawing no matter which device I'm using.
@@zenithquasar9623 it's really not. I actually learned digital arts on sketchbook pro. And the only reason I use the iPad is because of procreate, since it improved on a few things I found annoying about sketchbook pro. But when on the go, I still use sketchbook pro on my note 20 ultra, just like I used to on my Note9 and note8.
So cool dude. I can watch this like a movie for hours. A cool suggestion to you, you can create YT webseries with each episode about each app. Will watch it 100/100. Liked your explanation about Concept app !
I feel like the best audience for the Tab s7+ is an artist. I feel like hearing about the specs by others is selling the device short. I feel like having an S Pen requires someone who actually can put it through its paces
samsung dex is the killer in this ipad pro vs tab s7 battle it functions really well as if i'm using a windows laptop. especially the file system in dex mode it is functioning just like the file system in windows. dragging and dropping files, renaming files with the shortcut key f2, copy and paste shortcut keys etc.
@@teohyc the only difference i can find is that if you are using mouse with forward and back buttons, only the back button works. Other than that, the rest are really similar with windows file system.
Gosh i need this tablet....this is the upgrade i needed for years! Is it out yet? Ive been drawing for 20+ years or so by now and would really want to know the price of this thing lol
@@teohyc Right difference But i saw from your videos that apple pencil is better especially the nip The s7+ it's not hard plastic as apple make it more comfortable to draw and it ruin easily like the s6 one in video
@@AndroidmagazineGlobal it really depends on preference isn't it? I own a tab s6 and my friends have Ipad pros. I love the spen more because apples pen creates more 'tapping' sounds, I like how quiet the spen is. I also draw thin lines more easily with the spen since the nib is smaller. I do however find the spen button quite annoying as I accidently press it sometimes(I'm probably gonna buy the staedler noris digital pen soon) Also yea procreate is really convienient and cheap (clip studio is better but more expensive crie) . I wish it was on Android! but you can still create great art on the Samsung tabs. I've been using clip studio and ibispaintx (my insta is hallofaye if you wanna see)
Wondering why there is always someone hating or being jealous about Apple's products so much. I'm not a fan but these comments are getting old and lame :/
@@bodhipsyche I mean procreate is just that nice xD and only if you compared it with other you'd know the difference. I myself used CSP PS and SAI on desktop with no big preference, but with CSP on android and Procreate on ios the difference and optimation is on two levels. and since CSP originally only have a small audience, I do not think there are gonna be big improvement in a short time, unlike procreate team have already worked their software since the first ipad pro -
This is true! The only reason I have an iPad pro is because of procreate. If it was available for Android I would definitely get the tab s7 plus to be honest.
Excellent review. I am not a artist but your review was really good. - I think you should include a section where you use the tablet with a external monitor. Review how easy it is to plug and play and name the mandatory accessory needed (cables) if its not included. (Even though this is included in your comparison video with the ipad pro). I think you would get a lot more views. - Every time you fully turn off the device (power button + volume) then turn on the Tablet S7+ you have to sync the pen up every time by attaching the pen to the back. this is quiet annoying. You do not have to do this if you just press the power button to get the tablet to sleep. - You should mention the length of the charging cable. I need 2M+ cables for my setup at home and cables usually only come in a 1M cable. - The charging cable is also USB 2.0 to a USB-C and not a USB-c to USB-c. (for anyone who is interested in knowing) - The charging adapter output is different from other charges I have so you may have to use the original charging adapter. Anyone planning to get multiple charging adapters may need to consider the output from 3rd party suppliers.
The level of detail in this review (such as how the pens sound hitting the screen) is just exquisite!

Wrong, a lot of pro artists in US and a lot of pro mangaka in Japan use wacom cintiq (pen display tablet) instead of ipad
I think it is not about a tool but about a talent and skills. Even if you will buy the best iPad ever you will not become the best artist in the world
Why would anyone thumbs-down this? Love your reviews man, great detail and relaxing to watch 👌🏻
Those are the ipad fanboys who knows this smocks the ipad pro and its cheaper
Pen only needs to charge for gestures not for writing/drawing.
I think this is why it doesn't need to be on top or on the sides of the tablet for charge. You can draw and use the pen without charge for as long as you want. It can easily recharge in the time you don't use the tablet and have a new charge for smart gestures when you're using it again. I bought the book cover for it and they have an open space for the pen area and camera on the back. So it can easily charge while using it as well. I think its only kinda awkward in laptop mode. Pulling the flap back to retrieve it. But that might be preference. A snug, safe spot for your pen isn't a bad option either.
@@mbovb006 i agree
@@mbovb006 does pressure sensitivity work as well?
@@rocker10039 the pen pressure still works without power much like a Wacom pen.
The battery on the pen is just for the wireless gestures.
@@mbovb006 did you know you can put it on the top just like on the iPad (just a bit more to the right with back close to the edge)? It doesn't charge but it holds very well.
I have watched so many videos on the tab s7 plus. For the first time I feel well informed on the performance and capabilities it has to offer. Thank you so much for these videos. A+
You can actually attach the pen to the top of the tablet, similar to the Ipad ! Doing so doesn't charge the pencil but its definitely alot more convenient as compared to reaching to the back of the tablet. Love your videos!!
finally an artistic review of this tablet! thank you very much for bringing this video, almost all reviews of this tablet only talk about specifications or performance but rarely about art
Hey, just wanted to correct that the smaller Tab S7 does have the 9 ms latency with the 120 Hz display like the Tab S7+. But overall thanks for the awesome review, hope for more contents like this.
I can't confirm but many people say yes
So, the smaller tab screen is the same? No difference?
@@rsin207 the tab s7 has an IPS LCD screen and the tab s7+ has a Super AMOLED screen. Both have HDR10+ and 120hz refresh rate though. One other difference is that the tab s7+ screen has the fingerprint scanner built in whereas the tab s7 has the fingerprint scanner on the side of the device.
This is exactly what I wanted to see. It included all the details I am looking at in comparing the other top tablets when looking for a digital art tablet for standalone.
Digital Artists, what do you use on a regular basis? What’s your favorite apps?
Can't wait for the iPad comparison!
Me too
Same here

Pro 2020 gonna get destroyed
@@goochipoochie but all together, theres 600 price dif. Im just wondering it is enough for non professional drawing with some note taking, or ipad2020 is worth to pay 600 more.
Excellent review. Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. I was torn between iPad Pro or Air 4 or this one S7 plus, having owned a Galaxy Tab S3 since release and never had any issue, just lagging a bit now, but I can still draw well on Sketchbook. As you have properly shown in details all of the info, unlike some Apple-biased superficial reviewers out there, I made up my mind now thanks to your video.
I'm in the same boat what did u end up picking up?
I'm personally not an artist but I do plan to use the s7+ for lots of notetaking and light drawings, and I might lend it to my artist sibling just for their enjoyment. Thank you for your insightful video!
Me looks at my ipad 12.9 pro my ipad: WE can TALK ABOUT THIS JUST DONT SELL MEH me: sells ipad my ipad: nOoooooOooo
I laughed SOO much at this comment! Thanks for that, really cracked me up!
(I agree 100% , i am SO glad i didn't buy an iPad until now that the S7 is out)
You did the right choice.
Yeah but ipad still has procreate, that I want so dearly. But I ain't got no money for both Samsung and ipad hehe
@@IceBear-mj3qc try autodesk sketch book
For temporary SPen storage, you can stick the SPen to the bottom left/right edges of the tablet. It has the magnetic capabilities meant for the keyboard there.
The painting at 17:49 is soooo good, love the colours of it! Great review as always Teoh :)
You should add a Slow-Motion part of the "Pen latency drawing" part! That would be great for comparisons to former models.
Thank you so much for this review! took me long to find an artist show the drawing samples and im very very close to buying this since i cant afford ipad as the ipencil is a different expense :,) thank you so much!
Always enjoyed your thorough reviews
Thanks for the video! So detailed and very in-depth! Nice to have an artist review because it definitely helps other artist! I moved from wacom to Ipad and I'm excited for the wacom feel stylus in the S Pen, not to mention the hover detection!
The hover is good. Palm rejection is quite good. Many apps have strict palm rejection where they ONLY recognise pen input for drawing.
Oh fascinating. I just think I'm tired of the apple pencil. It was such a huge and expensive jump to an ipad and after 2 years I'm still not use to the pen. On top of that, the feel of drawing on glass. Very triggering. I feel the wacon experience cannot be beat, but damn I need mobility. Thanks for informing me.
Brad colbow does artist specific reviews too, though I think this is more in depth
I don't know someone already said it, but you can actually attach the pen on the top of the tablet, there are magnets there.
It just doesn't charge, but if you need to quickly put the pen somewhere, you can do that.
This is an incredibly detailed and helpful video. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Teoh, was waiting for artists to review the s7 plus and last checked yesterday again if there is some new review for this tablet exclusively for drawing and your video popped up.
Brad colbow does artists review too
Thanks for doing this review!! As usual it was really insightful and detailed and I liked how you elaborated on all the different drawing applications that can be used on android as well as on microsoft. Will definitely be trying them out, thank you! 😄
Finally! I've been waiting for your review! Great artist perspective, as always.
Can't wait for you to compare how to draw on this s7 + tab with iPad Pro using infinite design, CSP, and the same application in both. Thank you
best artist reviewer ever. just subscribed
I can easily tell
This is the best review I see about tab s7 plus
Waiting for the comparison
Superb review. Detailed and informative. Thanks.
Thank you for covering excellent info that I don't have to go around looking for extra info for! Nice job in also including a list of art programs, and how good they are (or not). Excellent as usual!:) I also prefere the case that has the pen to the side of the tab without a back 'bump'. Yeah!
It's been a long time since I've been using my tab for making notes. This tablet has been proven very helpful for me.
The funny part is when I was writing on my register with pen, I was trying to scroll the page to write more lines. 😅
Really enjoy your review. A thorough, well-structure review. So, would you choose S7 with the Clip Studio OR go with iPad pro and Procreate?
Just got mine to replace my iPad pro since you had me convinced in your comparison review, I think I made a great informed decision many thanks! Will be anticipating for your Clip Studio run-through. Great reviews by the way, subscribed!
Hey, since you have both, which is your favorite?
@@vvskiitlesvv not sure if they can be compared since I got the Pro from two generations ago. Although in terms of usability they're both really good at what they do being flagships, so it's just about app support/ecosystem in the end. One year in and it's been going great, I very much prefer the tab!
Thanks for this. I just can't make up my mind between getting the S7+ or the iPad Pro 12.9, for arts and notes. So I'm very much looking forward to your upcoming comparison vids.
If you need desktop OS functionality, Samsung is good
Rico,..I was in the same boat. I think its a slam dunk in favor of the Samsung now that it offers the DeX GUI as a feature. That is HUGE for me. Plus you get so much more in regards to specs for less money.
I am also confused
Check this artist review as well.
th-cam.com/video/o-aAjON0Eeo/w-d-xo.html
@@ToddDolce I agree, the S7+ is the best bang for the buck, comparing just the hardware. Although the iPad Pro's CPU is a lot faster than the Snapdragon, the Amoled display, more RAM and included S Pen on the Samsung is pretty awesome indeed. It's mainly Apple's superior apps ecosystem that makes the choice so difficult for me.
Warning for anyone wanting to get a matte screen protector: They are MURDER for S Pen tips. Expect to constantly buy new sets of nibs.
There's no need for matte screen protectors when using the S Pen which already has a tip that provides some friction.
Yes dude. I replaced around 3 black nibs and now I just got a white and the plastic literally vanished after a painting 🤣
@@teohyc if so, what kind of screen protector are you using instead?
@@melissaevangelista3826 Glass screen protector. You can just get any brand.
But do one need a screen protector?
Thank you... for yet another fantastically detailed professional Artists review for a tablet. Well done good sir.. 👌
Outstanding review! Very clear, thorough, and paid attention to the important factors that are relevant to me as someone who is using this as a tool. This helped me make my choice. Thank you.
You can attach the pen to the top right (just like the iPad but the back end is close to the right edge). It will not charge but the capacitor can keep it for a very long time and it holds there very nicely.
Been waiting for your review. Appreciate it!
This was an excellent review. The first review where it said that you could run 1440p video.
Upcoming iOS 14 will be able to play 1440P also
I was waiting so long for this!!! Thanks Teoh!
Thank you. I kept waiting for your review
Always waiting for your reviews! Excited for more :)
I have the samsung galaxy tab s7 plus and its good!! The draw app taks a bit of time to understand but its nice app! Noteshelf for school is great. The tablet Makes school a lot more fun and easy. Xx

Thank you for your very detailed review. I've been looking at buying a tablet and your video certainly provides the most detailed information of any I've encountered.
This was a super video, thank you. I have been thinking about a tablet for a year or so, always disappointed by price-vs-performance (thinking especially about display size; battery life and available apps). I had been thinking of a Remarkable 2 or a Lenovo Tab M10 Plus, but I always wanted the AMOLED display - and that's why the Tab S7 was a non-contender. Now that I've seen first-hand what the Tab S7+ can do, I've just bought it. Thanks for showing us how good the illustration can be with the available apps! I have a question that perhaps you or the community can answer: I want to use the tablet to maintain a D&D character sheet but not by using a specific D&D app; I just want a PDF template that I can write and draw on, using the s-pen. Is this doable? I'd want to do that offline, too, so none of this Adobe Cloud stuff. Ideas?
I was waiting for this video for a long time..thanks
Tablet looks good, but I wish it had an audio jack.
Why oh why are manufacturers all abandoning it, definitely a must have for aux cord and good quality powered headphones
Bluetooth headsets are fine with it
@@pradeepmuniandi Of course they work fine... unless you prefer an audio jack and/or prefer high quality wired headphones. :)
@@pradeepmuniandi Bro but what if I wanna use the tabmate for clip studio paint
@@RoundBaguette type C to 3.5mm jack or type C headphones are the suggested option. Coz 3.5mm socket will not allow this slimmer version of such a Tab
Was waiting for this review, thanks man
Your “S” sounds are lethal..
“Performanccccccccccce....”
ThankSssss
Oh lord isn't it horrible he didn't pronounce a word perfectly 😂
@@JustAGal217 I suspect he's just commenting on the audio editing; a lot of microphones make "s" sounds a lot stronger than normal (sibilance), which can be softened back out through a process call de-essing (not that I know how to do this personally, but such methods do exist).
Putting said minor audio issues aside, super thorough and helpful review.
@@teohyc Your talent alone speaks volumes. Along with massive tech knowledge makes this an awesome video. Keep up the excellent work!
I didn’t notice it with earbuds
Thank you so much. Your reviews are always so useful
I like amoled but i’m very scared (traumatized actually) of screen burn in. Happened to my note 5 and s6 (phone) in less than a year. Hopefully the tech is more improved now to be resistant to burn in especially now they are putting it in larger devices like tablets where there are plenty of static images (like tool icons during drawing). Wonder if anyone can share their experience here.
I've had a galaxy s3, s4, s7 and s9 and that has never happened to me before
I only buy oleds and havent had burn ins yet cause i dont keep one image for hours
Chaika Gaz yeah for phones that’s the case. But for larger devices and pc there’s plenty of static images. My example are those tool icons and ui elements in drawing apps. And of course doing art could take some hours
I love you so much. You are so great on explaining everything! And I love your art style very much
The latency is same in Tab S7 also the only diffrence is screen size and Amoled Display and Battery size also rest all features same
There appears to be slight differences in CPU performance. The S7+ has slightly more pixels, and thus should have slightly worse performance on certain benchmark tests (because the CPU has to keep track of more pixels), but it has slightly better performance on those benchmarks.
Thank you for doing such an indepth review for artists! You answer every question I have for tablets and what they should be able to do :)
2:58 Every potter head : omg its POTTAH!
I was waiting for this video! I'm glad you made it really in depth, especially from an artists point of view and the timing for the video is great since pre orders are about to go up in the US. I can't wait for the ipad pro 12.9 inch comparison video. You got a couple things wrong in the video and I know you are now aware but want to make it clear to viewers that might have missed other people's comments, you can in fact attach the S pen to the side of the tablet magnetically and the regular S7 does support the same 9ms latency of the pen. In fact you can even use the new s pen on the S6 from what I saw, though missing air gestures most likely.
Pls show below tests;
1) MS office word & excel - creating the fresh file, entering some data, and saving it.
2) Downloading an excel file from the email, editing, and saving it.
3) Converting word and excel to pdf
4) Word, Excel & ppt supported formats - like ex: MS Office 2003, 2007, or 2010 what it supports, and while saving do we have the option to select any of the above options.
5) PDF editing and saving (pdf created in normal adobe in a pc/laptop)
I can't see why anyone would do that on a tablet. Laptop, pc, mac only for that
Sergio See when u have a high end tablet and when u are on travel or a day/two day business travel when you have this, just u can carry this. If ur point is that then why would someone buy at tablet at 1000$ rather at 500 to 700$ u get a laptop itself. So some features when u pay premium, these are expected and they also promote DEX mode right a biz traveler need it.
@@kirann2879 because tablets have shifty processors and for the price of a premium tablet you can get equally small laptop that gets a lot more done.
Tablet is more for entertainment purposes, no business owner can work on them.
this tablet review is art focused. you cant expect him to make seperate review for those things.
MS Office on tablet does not have full features of desktop version anyway. what you dont get on your phone is what you dont get on tablets so try them on your own phone.
Get a Surface tablet if you want full Windows/Office
I have to say, you are really good at explaining and showing things. I feel like I'm right there in the room with you looking at these tablets. This was very well done, thank you so much.
Hi Teoh! I love this tablet and I'm considering on getting it once the price is reduced.
My main question is do you know if you can record the screen while drawing? Most of my videos are speedpaints, I usually do them on my computer but recently I had to send it to repair so I would like a backup work tool.
Thank you!
Also, if anyone has the answer to my question please feel free to comment. It will help me a lot to decide.
There's default screen recording feature inside the tablet settings.
Been waiting for this
What I hate about the most drawing apps on tablets is that they are subscription-based. That's why, I want something like Affinity or Procreate to come to Android (the latter is unlikely to come). I want to switch to this tablet, but I might have to wait.
Sketchbook Pro isn't subscription based.
SilEn Monharck1 True and it isn’t too bad.
Skectchbook is fantastic, I'm proficient in other apps as well but for some reason I simply love the uncluttered interface Sketchbook offers besides its availability in all operative systems. It's just like whenever a new idea hits my brain, I open the app and get straight to drawing no matter which device I'm using.
@@zenithquasar9623 it's really not. I actually learned digital arts on sketchbook pro. And the only reason I use the iPad is because of procreate, since it improved on a few things I found annoying about sketchbook pro. But when on the go, I still use sketchbook pro on my note 20 ultra, just like I used to on my Note9 and note8.
Get Infinity Painter
Thank you so much for this review. Incredibly detailed and wonderful to see the process of creation. So glad I found it.
I'm still thinking if I want to get this for Christmas so I can draw half realistic art
I mean... My classmates draw on their phone and still manages to create semi realistic art. Samsung Tab S7+ will probably be fine lol.
@@sy-zu4uz I'm bad with small screens but that's alright
@@WeLoveYouAkriaToriyama same honestly, im also having a hard time picking between the ipad pro or the s7+ 😔
So cool dude. I can watch this like a movie for hours. A cool suggestion to you, you can create YT webseries with each episode about each app. Will watch it 100/100. Liked your explanation about Concept app !
I feel like the best audience for the Tab s7+ is an artist. I feel like hearing about the specs by others is selling the device short. I feel like having an S Pen requires someone who actually can put it through its paces
Oh cool, I can't wait to see a comparison video. This was super helpful
samsung dex is the killer in this ipad pro vs tab s7 battle
it functions really well as if i'm using a windows laptop. especially the file system in dex mode it is functioning just like the file system in windows. dragging and dropping files, renaming files with the shortcut key f2, copy and paste shortcut keys etc.
What are the differences you notice with Samsung Dex and Windows file explorer?
@@teohyc the only difference i can find is that if you are using mouse with forward and back buttons, only the back button works. Other than that, the rest are really similar with windows file system.
Very thorough review. Excellent
Its been 3 hours and no dislikes.
Who could dislike such quality, useful content
I'm so excited!!! I just pre-ordered mine!
Gosh i need this tablet....this is the upgrade i needed for years! Is it out yet? Ive been drawing for 20+ years or so by now and would really want to know the price of this thing lol

Great Review and Nice illustrations
So which one have best experience for drwaing
Ipad Pro or S7+
Right now they both have good drawing experience. It’s very difficult for me to say which is better. All I can say is they are different.
@@teohyc
Right difference
But i saw from your videos that apple pencil is better especially the nip
The s7+ it's not hard plastic as apple make it more comfortable to draw and it ruin easily like the s6 one in video
@@teohyc
procreate i see it better than other application from my perspective
Of course you have more experience than me to compare it better
@@AndroidmagazineGlobal it really depends on preference isn't it? I own a tab s6 and my friends have Ipad pros. I love the spen more because apples pen creates more 'tapping' sounds, I like how quiet the spen is. I also draw thin lines more easily with the spen since the nib is smaller. I do however find the spen button quite annoying as I accidently press it sometimes(I'm probably gonna buy the staedler noris digital pen soon)
Also yea procreate is really convienient and cheap (clip studio is better but more expensive crie) . I wish it was on Android! but you can still create great art on the Samsung tabs. I've been using clip studio and ibispaintx (my insta is hallofaye if you wanna see)
@@heyfaye5290
You right each one have his own perference
And thanks alot for info
16:29 that little horizontal line he pens in after he waves his hand around disappears!
Now Samsung needs only Procreate app and artist will leave Apple and never come back. Actually I prefer even bigger screens.
I feel like when Krita gets out of buggy beta it will probably be much better. Though it's mostly a preference thing.
Wondering why there is always someone hating or being jealous about Apple's products so much. I'm not a fan but these comments are getting old and lame :/
@@bodhipsyche I mean procreate is just that nice xD and only if you compared it with other you'd know the difference. I myself used CSP PS and SAI on desktop with no big preference, but with CSP on android and Procreate on ios the difference and optimation is on two levels. and since CSP originally only have a small audience, I do not think there are gonna be big improvement in a short time, unlike procreate team have already worked their software since the first ipad pro -
@@bodhipsycheCheck specs, prizes and you will understand.
This is true! The only reason I have an iPad pro is because of procreate. If it was available for Android I would definitely get the tab s7 plus to be honest.
I just got the iPad yesterday and I have bronze witch I fell in love with and tysm for doing this vid🥰
Watching this on my tab s6
A good thorough review. Good one mate!
I have seen in a video that we can place that spen just like ipad pro
I was waiting for this review from you 👍😊
I actually much prefer LCD over AMOLED. The colors are more accurate and there's much less of an issue with screen burn in
Bruh
This is a great review, thank you. Very effective, covered everything I could possibly want to know.

Believe me it’s not easy to find 😂
@@teohyc new or second hand?
@@teohyc also you can attach the pen on the side as well..try it..
@@mingmarlama7987 I just found out. lol
I got an s7 for about 300$ less!
Excellent review. I am not a artist but your review was really good.
- I think you should include a section where you use the tablet with a external monitor. Review how easy it is to plug and play and name the mandatory accessory needed (cables) if its not included. (Even though this is included in your comparison video with the ipad pro). I think you would get a lot more views.
- Every time you fully turn off the device (power button + volume) then turn on the Tablet S7+ you have to sync the pen up every time by attaching the pen to the back. this is quiet annoying. You do not have to do this if you just press the power button to get the tablet to sleep.
- You should mention the length of the charging cable. I need 2M+ cables for my setup at home and cables usually only come in a 1M cable.
- The charging cable is also USB 2.0 to a USB-C and not a USB-c to USB-c. (for anyone who is interested in knowing)
- The charging adapter output is different from other charges I have so you may have to use the original charging adapter. Anyone planning to get multiple charging adapters may need to consider the output from 3rd party suppliers.
