I just received the Galaxy Tab S7+ but it's not my first Android tablet as my last one was the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. For the past few years I've been using the IPad Pro. My primary use for tablets is for drawing, both as a hobby and for commissions. IPads are still always recommended for artists as there are a plethora of creative apps and generally run well without many hiccups in comparison to Android. Apps are made for the iPads in mind as iPhone will have a different version to purchase, while on Android it's at times blown up mobile apps displayed on tablets. However, there were many things about the IPad Pro that made me want to stop using it. The file explorer is absolutely abysmal. We've only just recently been allowed to create our own folders but it's still very limited. People also fail to mention that there's no progress bar for when you're downloading or copying to the iPad. There's been times where the transfer has frozen and I couldn't tell. In addition to this, the IPad has had trouble recognising my external harddrive so backing up can be a pain. I don't want to rely on cloud storage and I can't exactly just connect the IPad Pro to my Windows PC and drag files onto the device. I also found some bizarre downgrades when changing from iPad Pro 10.5 to IPad Pro 11 (1st Gen) such as split keyboard being removed entirely. I only realised when checking the small print on Apple's website that they've removed split keyboard with the newer models. This makes typing on the IPad much more difficult. I also found that a few games didn't scale to the 11" size and added huge borders. I was surprised that not all apps had been optimised for the 11" size as we're now on the second gen. I almost forgot to mention that the power button has been replaced with a Siri button on newer Pro models. You have to hold down the Siri button and the volume button to turn it off. Samsung has done something similar but you are able to change this back to functioning as a power off button or you can reassign it to other apps of your choice. There's no other options for the iPad. What finally made me decide to try going back to Android is that the S pen's latency finally matches the Apple Pencil and that Clip Studio Paint has been ported over. Krita has also been ported to Android and is known as another powerful illustration software. I prefer working with more open source software and usually there are open source apps to compliment the work flow between PC and Android. Having access to sideloading APKs is a big deal for me and something I missed when using IPad OS. The option of customisation is a big reason why I wanted t change as I've returned to using SwiftKey on the Galaxy Tab S7+. I did try it on the IPad Pro, but unless Apple gives the devs rights, it's less feature rich as the default keyboard. Moreover, I prefer the soft rubber nib on the S pen over the plastic pen tip of the Apple Pencil. Most off set this problem by using a textured screen protector, but you can't quite overcome the fact that it's plastic tapping on glass. Due the Wacom technology in Samsung tablets, there are also other side benefits such as not needing to charge the pen to use it for drawing and being able to use other styluses (such as STAEDTLER Noris digital and Lamy AL-Star EMR Digital Pen) instead of the S pen. I'm also not too worried about updates as I'm sure the XDA Community will continue to develop roms to further the life expectancy of this tablet. I think the iPad Pro can be a great option as there are great apps, but now that Android has received Clip Studio Pro and Krita, the competition has levelled a bit more, at least from the perspective of someone that uses these devices for illustration purposes. I still prefer the IPad's aspect ratio more and this was a determining factor for getting the plus over the S7 as I wanted to factor in the menus taking up space in creative apps. The S7 ends up having less screen estate than the IPad Pro. I do miss certain apps on IPad that feel more polished, but over all the Galaxy Tab S7+ had more pros for me. I do wish Samsung would calm down on the bloatware and not preload so many apps that I can't uninstall, but I think custom roms could resolve this.

I just bought mine too, got $265 discounts on S7+ 256g and 50% off on bookcover keyboard. Moga XP5-X+Controller for free, 4months free TH-cam premium. With $115 trade-in for my old iphone s6. Total amount is $858.31. If you have similar configuration on iPad Pro, it's around $1,600. Way expansive.
My OnePlus 8T has 12GB ram and 256 rom. I would want my tablet to be at least as good or better than my phone! This tablet has only 6gb ram which is less than my OnePlus 7T from last year which had 8.
Tablets tend to have lower spec than phones.. unless you are talking about Apple.. they use the same chips A14 Bionic in the iPad and iPhones most Android Tablets dun use the 800 series snap dragon other than S7 and S7+.. most are merely Snapdragon 660 or even 425 for lower end budget models.
Even if it has 48gb ram, it doesnt matter. You wont notice any difference. If 6gb wasnt enough, samsung would add some more, as ram is cheap.

this tablet was my first android try and gosh...all is better to me i android... just discovered that ios was basically android 3 years late... this tablet rocks. i bought the ”small” one wich is the same but smaller and the screen is not led but lcd... frankly u don’t care. i prefer this size and this one has a better battery life than the ipad, just for the info. do ’t need the keyblard’ blught the samsung case... 570 euros, gray market. i did before a estimation of the ipad pro for my need, was 1500, 1800plus the keyhoard. so 1500 the equivalent. isn’t that funny ? just some apps u don’t find. u find others. the hest photo app for tabs abd phones is snapseed, made by google...bye apple. (android has so many options’ tips and tricks’ being able to’navigate ur file is so cool’ u can read mkv from torrents u downoad directly o the tablet etc etc etc unbeatable, frankly)
It's quite a hard decision. I really like the screen size more on the iPad Pro, plus the display is just more accurate. But it is precisely that vibrant AMOLED display on the Samsung together with the better speakers what makes it just superior for media content.
Great review! Unbiased is always best. Now, let's talk about your camera quality. While 1440P video is always welcomed, it's a mute point when you have grainy video. This was written on my Samsung Tab S7+. JK, but really, great review!
Hello, where did you find that slim cover with pen hider? I have one on my old tabS6 and I loved it Unfortunately I can't find it her in Germany...can you help with a link or something? Thanks a lot
Ok, this made me want to buy it over the iPad Pro. This entire time i thought you could only access dex via the button on the keyboard. For the purpose that i’ll use it in, it’ll be more than useful
Best tablet ever so far! I own the 11" S7 and this thing is a beautiful and powerful beast! Best multitasking tab by far. And the S7 isn't incredibly overpriced at $750+ like other tablets. It's at $550 and comes with the pencil.
Hello i would just like to ask. Its already been 9 months since you posted this comment. How's the S7 so far? Im plannting to buy for college. Im still doubting whether to get an Ipad pro 11" or an S7
@@vincentprimomonte7722 1 year and 1 month with it and I love it! Best tablet ever. I don't use it for school or notes, mainly for entertainment and multitasking. The multitasking is the best on any tablet and I'm sure it would be great for anyone in college. I just prefer the freedom on Android Tabs than the limited iPadOS. If you can find the 8GB/256GB for $500 or less, it's a steal! But you can also wait for the Tab S8, which will be released soon and will be even better.
Specially like that bottom navigation bar, pretty little multitasking thing. Everything at the bottom for easier control even the status bar info is there, nice.
Question.. Ive been using microsoft surface pro. The only thing I didnt like about it is that the tablet gets warm when your are using it with onenote.. Does samsing gets warm when you are using it for a long period of time writing or just when you have the samsung note open?
Yeah in Malaysia, Tab S7 series include keyboard cover as well but I think it's better if Samsung just make it optional extras which help reduce the starting price of the tablets because not everyone needs it, sometimes they got extra wireless keyboard at home or something. My 2 cents :D
Be very careful with it. For me the tablet fell closed to the keyboard by accident and the screen cracked. Sent to samsung repair 12/23/2020 and still there to date 🙄
Geekbench score should never be the selling point. The S7 can do so much more than the Ipad Pro and you can barely tell the performance differences. Ipad OS is too far behind on features to actually consider as a laptop its more of a chrome book replacement lol
I'm actually planning to get both the devices. Pre-ordered the iPad Pro (11 inch) 2021 so I got it early in my country (India). At the same time, while I'm heavily invested in the Apple Ecosystem, I love the freedom that Android brings. And there's a sale going on for the Tab S7 series - I think I'll pick up the base model of the S7+ without the book cover. The only reason I bought the iPad Pro over the S7+ was the lack of proper tablet optimized apps on Android. Also, my last Android tablet from Samsung, the Note 10.1 while being excellent, was as usual neglected by Samsung in the updates department. Hopefully, since they've committed to 3 years of software updates - they will continue to work on and refine the experience for Tab S7 users.
I hope that Samsung realizes that they almost have a monopoly on the android tablet space, just like apple does with their iPads, and make the galaxy tabs a priority. I know a lot of people with android phones, but buy iPads as they think it’s the “best” tablet. If Samsung keeps up the effort with their galaxy tab line, I think they could capture a large market share of the tablet space. The iPads are just kinda boring at this point, and the galaxy tab seems like something more new and exciting.
Great video! Just so you know the pen does magnetically stick to the top when you have it horizontally. It doesn't charge but it's not an active pen so it's only the button that this affects I believe
You are doing a great review here 👍🏾👌🏾. This tablet is very good and I like it. I bought one and I did a complete review covering everything on my channel.
I noticed the black bars were rather big when you showed Netflix playing. Does it always have that much screen space wasted when watching content? Do TH-cam videos take up most of the screen, or do we have big black bars with that too? Thank you so much.
Something this guy apparently didn't realize is that you can put the s pen on either side of the tablet and it will magnetically attach there as well it just won't charge like it does on the back but it will attach to the sides just like the iPad pro
Great review on a great exlpanation, but can u make a long term review for like a year on android tablet? i dont really know about android tablet but what i know is the performance on appleOS is much longlasting than the androidOS, sorry for my english cause im a native indonesian. Have a nice day, man!
Hi Boss, does your table heat up at the home button area? Like i was just using it for watching a TH-cam video.. no other app was running, 60hz setting, on dark mode, brightness at mid. 🤷🏻♀️ Is it just because, it's at its learning phase? Learning my pattern of usage? Just had it for about 2 weeks?
I returned mine. Why? Apps that should be in horizontal mode are not. Also, I tried Kinchen impact and the sound skips. The only way to stop this is to run the screen recorder and then put the screen recorder in pause mode to play the game. There’s a small examples, but there are little problems that creep in due to the quality of the software. The hardware is nice. Still, I went back.
If you haven't activated YT premium before with that google account, then go to youtube app and click PREMIUM and you should see the free offer. If you had YT premium before on that acc, you won't be eligible, so you have to make a new google account.
If you've got YT premium on one device as far as you activate YT on another device with same account the premium works on that other device too. Has to be same Google account on both devices though.
Its confusing me that you said the Battery life is not as good as the iPad Pro, because very many people are saying the s7+ has better battery. Now I just dont know what to believe. In upset because the final deciding factor for me is the battery.
I use both iOS and Android. The benefit of the ipad over the S7+ is the apps and stability of the iOS environment. You won't find an Android equivalent of Lumafusion, which is an excellent video editing app. Powerdirector doesn't come close, does it?
How about doing a video showing us how we can text and call on our S7 tablet and sync our android phone together to do the same !! Theres NO videos out there doing it !!
Best tablet: s7+. Best keyboard: Magic keyboard for ipad pro. If you are OCD over keyboards then go with the Ipad. Otherwise, s7+ is the best tablet out right now.
Great review! Q: I will be dedicating next year's to an exclusively online university which means following video lessons while reading simultaneously. How is the Audio quality and volume level? Could I open a multi task small browser together with a bigger PDF reader, for example? Thanks bro!
Still confused about battery life comparisons: some say iPad gets the edge and some say S7.. which is it? some really negative reviews about S7 plus and it's battery staying power and life expectancy
I recently traded in a Tab S4 and got $400 for it from Samsung for a brand new Tab S7 Plus with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD. The Tab S4 came from eBay which I got for $175 shipped. With the trade in the final price was like $500 total for the Mystic Navy version. That's one hell of a deal... The Tab S7 Plus is REALLY awesome! VERY impressive. The S-pen and it's low latency is spectacular. The super-amoled screen at 120 mHz is hard to tie, let alone beat... Got the keyboard for $129... Saw a lot of positive reviews on TH-cam and was excited to get one... I was let down. Overrated... Not great. No backlighting makes it a major fail... Trackpad blows too... The pen flap and magnets are its only redeeming qualities... Sent it back. Picked up the Samsung Mystic Navy Bookcover and it's really exactly what I need... Thin and light... NICE! Looking for a Bluetooth Backlit keyboard that will fit my needs now...
For me, if you're going to use a tablet for multimedia and some slight work, better option is the Tab S7 The Tab S7+ is great for a person more focus in using it for work Don't let the LCD of the S7 hold you back, it is a great screen, more than enough...
I kinda have to say Geekbench scores are not as great of a test vs real world. because you're not pushing the system hard for a large extended load time. Score testing is more so in a short case. But most time I wouldn't see tablets being as throttled hard, as Phones do being in a smaller form factor. But even though apple has faster specs in a small case. It's already been proven their phones suck in long term performance runs in real world testing.
I'm deciding to either buy ipad pro 12.9 or Samsung s7+. My question is which one will last me more than 6 years at least? As I'm tired always buying new tablet every few years. I'm mostly will be doing office work with some side entertainment. As a Samsung user for years, AMOLED screen and the unlimited probability in apps is something that I'm very familiar with, so I'm not surprise with your review. Though everytime I bought Samsung tablet, it only last me maximum 3 until 4 years and 5 years is just pushing it, the tablet is still there and running smoothly, but I couldn't use it anymore for my needs. Meanwhile my friend still work with their 2014 ipad and it still updated the OS to keep up with them. It's why I'm leaning more towards the ipad, but I don't know. I hope someone can help me decide. Thanks
@@dad.0 I see... Maybe I will try this ipad pro. Since I'm a very mobile person, a laptop is a hindrance for me most of the time, I'm just using my laptop at home, even in office I mostly use tablet. So longevity in software is kind of a must, at least for another 5 or 6 years. Since from my experience, every 3 or 4 years, they usually don't have a leap that really worth upgrading for, it just that we must upgrade it to keep up with our needs. Thank you for answering by the way :)
Great review. I just ordered this earlier this week and it arrives Sunday for pick up. This will be my very first tablet ever! I have a Macbook Pro and an LG G8 (Android phone). I originally was looking perhaps to get a windows tablet or convertible. I personally do not like being locked into any ecosystem as I like to be well versed in different systems. After much research and back and forth I thought for now the S7+ fit my needs best. If in the future then I would go for a Windows convertible laptop one of which I want but do not have the money to get. Also hopefully to wait if a few particular models I like will be updated. I even thought about the iPad Pro at one time, but still what won me out for the Samsung is the DEX and as always my main gripe about Apple mobile devices is their push for users not to have expandable memory on the device yet charge outrageous prices and then to get more space one HAS to have to use the cloud as a necessity. Many other factors - the Price, and also I was able to find the Mystic Navy 256 (though wanted the 512) but then just ordered the 512 gb microsd card with it. The colors and all the many different features and to be able to expand the usage of apps that I have on my phone and plug into a monitor. So looking forward to it. Thanks again for a great review with your editing and great clear sound and cadence....and new subscriber here!
@@dad.0 Very welcome! Yes I feel I will greatly enjoy it. I always do lots of research and learn the ins and outs of a product and this like when I do on other electronics it fits for what works for me in the now and future. Best to you - to each day and moment. Keep shining forth!
I can't believe that the reason I'm not going to buy the S7+ comes down to how annoyed that I think I would be about it not lying flat because of where the pen is stored.
It stores on the side as well. Not sure why he failed to mention that in such a thorough review. And the book cover case (not the keyboard case) has a spot for it, too.
Great review ! Useful and you give your own opinion. About de size, what do you think about using the s7 + to take note in portrait mode and annotate pdf ? Ty
You know what I'd like, I want to see a reviewer actually read comics on the this tablet. I mean using Comixology or something similar. I use my tablets predominantly for reading comics. And I am still looking for the perfect size so that I don't need to resize whilst reading. I know first world problems. But it's just something I wish reviewers would actually spend like 20 seconds on.
Honestly for comics, I think the iPad has the best aspect ratio. There's less black borders and it feels a lot less weird holding it in portrait mode. For landscape mode Android is obviously longer in length. The text is smaller, but still readable (from experience on Galaxy Tab S7+). I found Chunky on iPad OS is the best app I've used as you can even connect your cloud storage and choose to download what you want to read immediately. On the Surface Pro I used Cover from the Windows store, that was pretty good but my touchscreens topped working altogether. Android has less good options. I use Perfect Viewer, but Moon + Reader is also reasonable. Perfect Viewer is entirely free but it's a bit ugly and it can be buggy at times. It does its job. I personally think 10" or bigger is the best size for reading. For the experience closest to reading an actual comic, I think I would have to recommend the iPad.
What Dominique said. If you're interested in reading comics or books on it then the iPad is better for you. It has the better aspect ratio if your primary use will be in portrait mode. The Tab S7+ is just too long vertically to use comfortably when holding it vertically. Typed that on my Galaxy Tab S7+, and I'm pretty much an Android fanboy (as I dislike Apple as a company). So no Apple bias here when I say that the iPad is better for you between the two. You could look at the Fire tablets too, though. That might be another option for you.

I would assume iPad OS should be a OS dedicated for tablet.. so it should be more similar to DeX maybe?

Dex mode is a game changer. On Xbox game pass the iPad you have to download the game to your device whereas the Samsung you can play off the cloud.

Hmm, can't wait? I'm a display nut job so this'll 🤪 be great! The 865+ with the 120hz, should be pretty quick!
Its great, don't think twice about it
Can I use the desktop version of google Docs and Google Sheets on it?
Yes
I really like how open minded you are and your work on this video
For sure one of the best I've seen so far
Keep up the good work bro💙
I appreciate that!
It recently was my birthday! I turned 26 years old. I have really wanted this all my life. I pray that the Lord can bless with a samsung tab s7+ one day!
Happy birthday!!
Thank you Sir @@dad.0 it was the 21th of Dec and I made a music video about it🙂

this tablet was my first android try and gosh...all is better to me i android... just discovered that ios was basically android 3 years late... this tablet rocks. i bought the ”small” one wich is the same but smaller and the screen is not led but lcd... frankly u don’t care. i prefer this size and this one has a better battery life than the ipad, just for the info. do ’t need the keyblard’ blught the samsung case... 570 euros, gray market. i did before a estimation of the ipad pro for my need, was 1500, 1800plus the keyhoard. so 1500 the equivalent. isn’t that funny ? just some apps u don’t find. u find others. the hest photo app for tabs abd phones is snapseed, made by google...bye apple. (android has so many options’ tips and tricks’ being able to’navigate ur file is so cool’ u can read mkv from torrents u downoad directly o the tablet etc etc etc unbeatable, frankly)
Glad you’re liking it!
It's quite a hard decision. I really like the screen size more on the iPad Pro, plus the display is just more accurate. But it is precisely that vibrant AMOLED display on the Samsung together with the better speakers what makes it just superior for media content.
Its a tough decision but you can't go wrong... I love them both
I love watching things i can't afford. HAHA
lol
you can afford it loremae
Great review! Unbiased is always best. Now, let's talk about your camera quality. While 1440P video is always welcomed, it's a mute point when you have grainy video. This was written on my Samsung Tab S7+. JK, but really, great review!
Thanks! I know, that export got messed up a bit and got a bit grainy at parts. You live, you learn
Hello, where did you find that slim cover with pen hider? I have one on my old tabS6 and I loved it
Unfortunately I can't find it her in Germany...can you help with a link or something? Thanks a lot
I bought it from Best Buy here in the states. Not sure that is available over in Germany
Thank you , I'll keep looking

Great review. I guess I saw the intro for hillbilly elegy on your tab. I just saw the movie on Netflix on Tab S7, it looks gorgeous. 😀
Hope you enjoy it!
Sai Nair is it in 4k hdr or ultra
Ok, this made me want to buy it over the iPad Pro. This entire time i thought you could only access dex via the button on the keyboard. For the purpose that i’ll use it in, it’ll be more than useful
Glad it helps!
Best tablet ever so far! I own the 11" S7 and this thing is a beautiful and powerful beast! Best multitasking tab by far. And the S7 isn't incredibly overpriced at $750+ like other tablets. It's at $550 and comes with the pencil.
Agreed
Hello i would just like to ask. Its already been 9 months since you posted this comment. How's the S7 so far? Im plannting to buy for college. Im still doubting whether to get an Ipad pro 11" or an S7
@@vincentprimomonte7722 1 year and 1 month with it and I love it! Best tablet ever. I don't use it for school or notes, mainly for entertainment and multitasking. The multitasking is the best on any tablet and I'm sure it would be great for anyone in college. I just prefer the freedom on Android Tabs than the limited iPadOS.
If you can find the 8GB/256GB for $500 or less, it's a steal! But you can also wait for the Tab S8, which will be released soon and will be even better.

Specially like that bottom navigation bar, pretty little multitasking thing. Everything at the bottom for easier control even the status bar info is there, nice.
Agreed!
Question.. Ive been using microsoft surface pro. The only thing I didnt like about it is that the tablet gets warm when your are using it with onenote.. Does samsing gets warm when you are using it for a long period of time writing or just when you have the samsung note open?
Not in my experience
Malaysia peeps looking at the rest of the world having to drop an extra few hundred bucks for the keyboard book cover like 🌚😏
Lol
There are online retailers selling s7 & s7+ with keyboard.....not the LTE version
Yeah in Malaysia, Tab S7 series include keyboard cover as well but I think it's better if Samsung just make it optional extras which help reduce the starting price of the tablets because not everyone needs it, sometimes they got extra wireless keyboard at home or something. My 2 cents :D
Be very careful with it. For me the tablet fell closed to the keyboard by accident and the screen cracked. Sent to samsung repair 12/23/2020 and still there to date 🙄
yikes... sorry to hear that man
Just got it back with no charge to me☺️
Geekbench score should never be the selling point. The S7 can do so much more than the Ipad Pro and you can barely tell the performance differences. Ipad OS is too far behind on features to actually consider as a laptop its more of a chrome book replacement lol
As an Apple user, I agree. I never do geekbench scores and I feel like real world tests are more relevant
I'm actually planning to get both the devices. Pre-ordered the iPad Pro (11 inch) 2021 so I got it early in my country (India). At the same time, while I'm heavily invested in the Apple Ecosystem, I love the freedom that Android brings. And there's a sale going on for the Tab S7 series - I think I'll pick up the base model of the S7+ without the book cover. The only reason I bought the iPad Pro over the S7+ was the lack of proper tablet optimized apps on Android. Also, my last Android tablet from Samsung, the Note 10.1 while being excellent, was as usual neglected by Samsung in the updates department. Hopefully, since they've committed to 3 years of software updates - they will continue to work on and refine the experience for Tab S7 users.
I hope that Samsung realizes that they almost have a monopoly on the android tablet space, just like apple does with their iPads, and make the galaxy tabs a priority. I know a lot of people with android phones, but buy iPads as they think it’s the “best” tablet. If Samsung keeps up the effort with their galaxy tab line, I think they could capture a large market share of the tablet space. The iPads are just kinda boring at this point, and the galaxy tab seems like something more new and exciting.
Great video! Just so you know the pen does magnetically stick to the top when you have it horizontally. It doesn't charge but it's not an active pen so it's only the button that this affects I believe
Thanks for the info!
The GOAT tablet i love mine
Its awesome!
I love this i left apple ecosystem forever. Ipad is just a hype that people created for apple. Cant wait for tabS-8Ultra.
You are doing a great review here 👍🏾👌🏾. This tablet is very good and I like it. I bought one and I did a complete review covering everything on my channel.
Awesome! Thank you! Good luck with your channel
I noticed the black bars were rather big when you showed Netflix playing. Does it always have that much screen space wasted when watching content? Do TH-cam videos take up most of the screen, or do we have big black bars with that too? Thank you so much.
Thanks for such a nice review.... definitely the best one of the lot...clears the picture as to which one to choose....!
Glad you liked it
4:3 laptop? In what year? 2004?
Slip of the tongue there... meant 3:2
Something this guy apparently didn't realize is that you can put the s pen on either side of the tablet and it will magnetically attach there as well it just won't charge like it does on the back but it will attach to the sides just like the iPad pro
funny enough, I was going to mention it but I ended up cutting it out to keep the video short. Thanks for pointing that out!
Great review on a great exlpanation, but can u make a long term review for like a year on android tablet? i dont really know about android tablet but what i know is the performance on appleOS is much longlasting than the androidOS, sorry for my english cause im a native indonesian. Have a nice day, man!
im on the apple ecosystem rn, but i'm so confused about choosing between ipad air 4 and samsung tab s7 cause both of them are a great tablet for now.
watching from Samsung galaxy tab s7😄
Excellent review. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank god I’m a hybrid users. Don’t limit yourself to greatness
Hi Boss, does your table heat up at the home button area? Like i was just using it for watching a TH-cam video.. no other app was running, 60hz setting, on dark mode, brightness at mid. 🤷🏻♀️
Is it just because, it's at its learning phase? Learning my pattern of usage? Just had it for about 2 weeks?
For more than $900 bucks you can buy a pretty good laptop instead.
Screen is amazing on this thing.
Agreed!
I returned mine. Why? Apps that should be in horizontal mode are not. Also, I tried Kinchen impact and the sound skips. The only way to stop this is to run the screen recorder and then put the screen recorder in pause mode to play the game. There’s a small examples, but there are little problems that creep in due to the quality of the software. The hardware is nice. Still, I went back.
Android struggles to optimize apps for tablets
How do i activate the 4 month free YT premium if i already have an existing google account? how does the 4 month free work?
If you haven't activated YT premium before with that google account, then go to youtube app and click PREMIUM and you should see the free offer. If you had YT premium before on that acc, you won't be eligible, so you have to make a new google account.
If you've got YT premium on one device as far as you activate YT on another device with same account the premium works on that other device too.
Has to be same Google account on both devices though.
Its confusing me that you said the Battery life is not as good as the iPad Pro, because very many people are saying the s7+ has better battery. Now I just dont know what to believe. In upset because the final deciding factor for me is the battery.
Battery life is very subjective. So many factors go into play so it is tough to compare apples to apples
Waiting to down price so i can afford to buy 😭😭😭😭😭
I use both iOS and Android. The benefit of the ipad over the S7+ is the apps and stability of the iOS environment. You won't find an Android equivalent of Lumafusion, which is an excellent video editing app. Powerdirector doesn't come close, does it?
no it doesn't. agreed that app stability is better on iPadOS
I realized long ago that Apple products are overhyped and overated. My Tab S7 is much more flexible and enjoyable to use.
Glad you are liking it
How about doing a video showing us how we can text and call on our S7 tablet and sync our android phone together to do the same !! Theres NO videos out there doing it !!
Great input!
Are the apps on the screen bad as heard that they look better on the ipad. Thanks
Has anyone seem the Tab S7+ with 512gb AND 5G ? why does there not seem to be any of these anywhere ?
Which app did you use for drawing in this video ?By the way superb content !
Thank you so much! I used the notes app
i have both and ipad air 4 gen and a tabs6 and the Sammy's AMOLED is so so so much better than the LCD
Agreed
Best tablet: s7+. Best keyboard: Magic keyboard for ipad pro. If you are OCD over keyboards then go with the Ipad. Otherwise, s7+ is the best tablet out right now.
100% agree
Does it support 4k videos?
Did you try digital video editing software, and or, Music production software like Garage Band?
I’ve used Rush and it works great even with 4k video. No music apps yet
Great review!

Thanks bro!
What is performance on widows suite? How good is this as a work laptop replacement?
Still confused about battery life comparisons: some say iPad gets the edge and some say S7.. which is it? some really negative reviews about S7 plus and it's battery staying power and life expectancy
it really depends how you use them. Both have overall great battery life
Why does no one mentioned that the apple cover/keyboard probably has the better build quality because it costs over THREE TIMES AS MUCH
True
Does it works for Samsung S7 FE?
I only like the dex experience and that can’t make me buy it bcos of that
dex is really great
camera angles & camera motions are significantly praisable...
Thanks
My cousin has iPad Pro so ima get tab s7+ to compete
noob
if you wanted to compete you would've gotten an ipad pro too, by getting the S7+ you're winning this contest easily
Which is best for drawing and digital art among s7+ and ipad pro? For beginners ( in digital art creation ).. pls do suggest..
I am going to let someone else help you with this. I am not an artist nor do I draw on my tablets much
Good video. I am a Samsung fan and just upgrade this S7 from S3 and this tablet can replace a PC or laptop.
Awesome!
I recently traded in a Tab S4 and got $400 for it from Samsung for a brand new Tab S7 Plus with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD. The Tab S4 came from eBay which I got for $175 shipped. With the trade in the final price was like $500 total for the Mystic Navy version. That's one hell of a deal...
The Tab S7 Plus is REALLY awesome! VERY impressive. The S-pen and it's low latency is spectacular. The super-amoled screen at 120 mHz is hard to tie, let alone beat...
Got the keyboard for $129... Saw a lot of positive reviews on TH-cam and was excited to get one... I was let down. Overrated... Not great. No backlighting makes it a major fail... Trackpad blows too... The pen flap and magnets are its only redeeming qualities... Sent it back. Picked up the Samsung Mystic Navy Bookcover and it's really exactly what I need... Thin and light... NICE!
Looking for a Bluetooth Backlit keyboard that will fit my needs now...
Awesome stuff! Thanks for commenting
I think the Samsung is every excellent when it comes to tablet ....its cool to have much pucket friendly ....you know what I mean...
They make great tablets
I have a question is the mouse your using bluetooth connected?
yes, bluetooth
For me, if you're going to use a tablet for multimedia and some slight work, better option is the Tab S7
The Tab S7+ is great for a person more focus in using it for work
Don't let the LCD of the S7 hold you back, it is a great screen, more than enough...
I agree
Android simply handles video app PIP better than iOS, this is the main reason I no longer use Apple products personally.
I agree
can the keyboard remove/seperate from the back cover?
Can you copy-paste with a mouse?
Yes
When you are using geekbench score to judge how powerful iPad is, what about antutu benchmark does that meaning less
Scores are great but I typically judge performance using normal tasks
I kinda have to say Geekbench scores are not as great of a test vs real world. because you're not pushing the system hard for a large extended load time. Score testing is more so in a short case.
But most time I wouldn't see tablets being as throttled hard, as Phones do being in a smaller form factor. But even though apple has faster specs in a small case. It's already been proven their phones suck in long term performance runs in real world testing.
@@KillerRaptorr I agree, a real-world test is more important IMO
Great review! What's that rocket at the end, an app? Thanks!
I LOVE SAMSUNG AND GOOGLE. But I like the honesty because you've liked Apple but you still say that Samsung's good so good job!

It is a great tablet
I'm deciding to either buy ipad pro 12.9 or Samsung s7+. My question is which one will last me more than 6 years at least? As I'm tired always buying new tablet every few years. I'm mostly will be doing office work with some side entertainment. As a Samsung user for years, AMOLED screen and the unlimited probability in apps is something that I'm very familiar with, so I'm not surprise with your review. Though everytime I bought Samsung tablet, it only last me maximum 3 until 4 years and 5 years is just pushing it, the tablet is still there and running smoothly, but I couldn't use it anymore for my needs. Meanwhile my friend still work with their 2014 ipad and it still updated the OS to keep up with them. It's why I'm leaning more towards the ipad, but I don't know. I hope someone can help me decide. Thanks
6 years is a lot for any device these days. I’d tend to say the iPads have more longevity.
@@dad.0 I see... Maybe I will try this ipad pro. Since I'm a very mobile person, a laptop is a hindrance for me most of the time, I'm just using my laptop at home, even in office I mostly use tablet. So longevity in software is kind of a must, at least for another 5 or 6 years. Since from my experience, every 3 or 4 years, they usually don't have a leap that really worth upgrading for, it just that we must upgrade it to keep up with our needs. Thank you for answering by the way :)
@@kokuo1000 good points! Yes, it really comes down to preference of IOS or Android but I do typically see my IOS devices lasting longer
What android tablets need is full desktop browsers, either firefox/chromium based + the regular addon support.
would be really nice!
they have those
Great review. I just ordered this earlier this week and it arrives Sunday for pick up. This will be my very first tablet ever! I have a Macbook Pro and an LG G8 (Android phone). I originally was looking perhaps to get a windows tablet or convertible. I personally do not like being locked into any ecosystem as I like to be well versed in different systems. After much research and back and forth I thought for now the S7+ fit my needs best. If in the future then I would go for a Windows convertible laptop one of which I want but do not have the money to get. Also hopefully to wait if a few particular models I like will be updated. I even thought about the iPad Pro at one time, but still what won me out for the Samsung is the DEX and as always my main gripe about Apple mobile devices is their push for users not to have expandable memory on the device yet charge outrageous prices and then to get more space one HAS to have to use the cloud as a necessity.
Many other factors - the Price, and also I was able to find the Mystic Navy 256 (though wanted the 512) but then just ordered the 512 gb microsd card with it. The colors and all the many different features and to be able to expand the usage of apps that I have on my phone and plug into a monitor.
So looking forward to it.
Thanks again for a great review with your editing and great clear sound and cadence....and new subscriber here!
Thanks for the sub and the compliment! I am the same, I don't like being strapped to an ecosystem. hope you like the tablet!
@@dad.0 Very welcome! Yes I feel I will greatly enjoy it. I always do lots of research and learn the ins and outs of a product and this like when I do on other electronics it fits for what works for me in the now and future. Best to you - to each day and moment. Keep shining forth!
I can't believe that the reason I'm not going to buy the S7+ comes down to how annoyed that I think I would be about it not lying flat because of where the pen is stored.
Its the little things :)
It stores on the side as well. Not sure why he failed to mention that in such a thorough review. And the book cover case (not the keyboard case) has a spot for it, too.
I have both tablets as well and I'm liking the Tab S7 Plus more than my iPad Pro too.
Me too
I apps are trash! I cant do anything
on this tablet, basically .
Great review ! Useful and you give your own opinion. About de size, what do you think about using the s7 + to take note in portrait mode and annotate pdf ? Ty
I think so. It’s the perfect size for both landscape and portrait in my opinion. Thanks!
Can I ask looking at this but how is image quality watching Netflix TH-cam etc looking at the s7 plus as know image is better
It’s probably the best display for a tablet on the market right now for watching videos
Does apps like Facebook work in landscape mode like iPad or no?
yes
Thank you for this review..
My pleasure!
Hi, can i know about your that black finger ring please? 😃
Here you go amzn.to/2ORJwx2
You know what I'd like, I want to see a reviewer actually read comics on the this tablet. I mean using Comixology or something similar. I use my tablets predominantly for reading comics. And I am still looking for the perfect size so that I don't need to resize whilst reading. I know first world problems. But it's just something I wish reviewers would actually spend like 20 seconds on.
Thanks for the input! Always love to hear what people want to see in reviews
Honestly for comics, I think the iPad has the best aspect ratio. There's less black borders and it feels a lot less weird holding it in portrait mode. For landscape mode Android is obviously longer in length. The text is smaller, but still readable (from experience on Galaxy Tab S7+). I found Chunky on iPad OS is the best app I've used as you can even connect your cloud storage and choose to download what you want to read immediately. On the Surface Pro I used Cover from the Windows store, that was pretty good but my touchscreens topped working altogether. Android has less good options. I use Perfect Viewer, but Moon + Reader is also reasonable. Perfect Viewer is entirely free but it's a bit ugly and it can be buggy at times. It does its job. I personally think 10" or bigger is the best size for reading. For the experience closest to reading an actual comic, I think I would have to recommend the iPad.
What Dominique said. If you're interested in reading comics or books on it then the iPad is better for you. It has the better aspect ratio if your primary use will be in portrait mode. The Tab S7+ is just too long vertically to use comfortably when holding it vertically.
Typed that on my Galaxy Tab S7+, and I'm pretty much an Android fanboy (as I dislike Apple as a company). So no Apple bias here when I say that the iPad is better for you between the two.
You could look at the Fire tablets too, though. That might be another option for you.
Which do you think is best for drawing and design work?
Really just depends on if you prefer iOS or Android and which pen design you like the best
Using this tablet since October last year . I am having eye irritation .
i heard similar problem from my friend who uses oled display, is it very serious? or only noticable by few
Really depends on the individual. I personally don't be there are a considerable number of people that do
