SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S7 [One Month Later]

Tab S7 ➡️ https://mikeobrienmedia.com/galaxy-tab-s7
It’s been a month since this was released and I have some thoughts on this… Tablets live in a weird space but is this one an exception? Should you buy it? You may want to know this…

ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
PHYSICAL:
Samsung gets updates for ~3 years (iPad gets updates for like 5 years)
120Hz screen
Display is very bright and vibrant!
Having lots of Galaxy phone tools on a laptop-like experience is powerful. Great for multi-tasking
S-pen latency is extremely low
S-Pen air gestures are nice (arrow up, left, scribble for screen capture)
Where can you stick the S Pen? – only the back or top, but only the back charges it
Placing the s-pen on the back when not looking takes practice
Perfect size for airplane tray working
Fingerprint sensor is not in the most natural location
I think it might be better than an in-display sensor in this case
Works well enough
Battery life is actually great! I am easily getting a couple days per charge
Charging takes a very long time with the included charger (3+ hrs)
Speakers are fantastic

KEYBOARD CASE:
Keyboard typing speed test: 65 words per minute (I am able to get 70-80 normally)
Some punctuation and peripheral keys throw me off because they are smaller
Pen holder on back is amazing

CAMERAS:
Great for video calls and scanning documents
Some architects or designers may want to use the cameras to take photos and draw on physical space
(Camera testing)

SOFTWARE and UI
Mouse can appear anywhere!
Dex mode is an extremely cool feature, but could still use some improvement
Wireless Dex allows you to use devices farther away without long cables (hotel TV)
Can you message and do phone stuff? – yes!
Android tablets are far from perfect. Many apps are not optimized, won’t go full screen in Dex, and/or won’t allow landscape view
Adobe products are just ok, Microsoft and Samsung are great, Google are ok
My Files leaves a lot to be desired

CONCLUSION:
Tablets still live in this weird limbo. Laptops are becoming more portable and phones are becoming larger and more powerful. Most of what I can do with this tablet, I could do better with either my phone or laptop.
Like a sports car and a pickup truck. A sports car is like a smartphone, and the pickup truck is like your laptop. Both are great, but sometimes a compact SUV is what you really want.
Great for recipes in the kitchen, watching media, mounting in your car, and working while traveling or on the go

As far as tablets go, this is the best Android tablet, and a solid competitor against the iPad

    I ordered an apple ipad pro 11" just a bit ago, then got huge buyer’s remorse when I learned about this galaxy tab that comes hundreds cheaper, same size, relatively similar features, and microSD slot for memory expansion!! That sold me, honestly. I returned my ipad and cannot wait for this to arrive in a week. I would have been stuck with 128gb plus maybe cloud storage. Now my 1 Terabyte microSD will keep all my high res media right at my fingertips.

    Does it have a good palm rejection?



  3. RICK MANUEL on November 6, 2021 at 10:50 am

    I think ima purchase this to start investing



  15. Lazy Fingers on November 6, 2021 at 11:02 am

    I HATE laptops , never owned one, I use tablets (iPad) for work since the first ipad mini back in 2013, but now I might change to the tab S7+
    connectivity is key for me, and unfortunately it seems like Apple never got the memo.



  16. Navam Gupta on November 6, 2021 at 11:04 am

    You are right the software is much much behind then the hardware. Android has not put much efforts on the tablets but If we talk about the iPad there is separate ipados for it. Unfortunately, the majority of developers are creating apps for smartphones.



  17. Naqeeb Zakria on November 6, 2021 at 11:04 am

    Where do we exact keyboard Case what you have in this video please guide ?

    Can someone tell me where to get the case he uses?



  21. Corbin_Dallas550 on November 6, 2021 at 11:10 am

    Hey Mike, one year later do you recommend this for video editing with apps like inshot?

    I’m considering getting this to use as a bigger screen for my drone and to edit the footage. Currently I use my S21 plus but I need a bigger screen for both.



  22. John Doe on November 6, 2021 at 11:10 am

    hi, i just bought samsung galaxy tab S7, and now im searching for suitable smart keyboard as we all know that this tablet has it own sensor on its side, so do you have any link for me to purchase the smart keyboard for galaxy tab S7?



  24. Sassie on November 6, 2021 at 11:13 am

    Why lean on the case/cover take a stand!



  25. Jor12345 A.K.A Jordan on November 6, 2021 at 11:13 am

    This tablet is perfect for me because of my situation when I want to do power apps I will go on my desktop with my graphics card and everything. When I’m in class and I want to take notes and use Microsoft word I use the tablet and the keyboard case and I use it in Dex mode. And I use my phone for pretty much everything else social media all that type of stuff. Pretty much know I Have a solution to everything. It’s great



  26. Mussa ali on November 6, 2021 at 11:14 am

    It’s pointless and useless is very shit mine already broke down



  27. Amartyya Das on November 6, 2021 at 11:16 am

    The apps sometimes looking weird is caused by the developers of the apps being lazy, or to be less harsh, they haven’t optimised for tablets.



  28. Prasad Chavan on November 6, 2021 at 11:16 am

    Tablets= Compact SUV wow that’s some comparison.



  29. Aarya Kamath on November 6, 2021 at 11:18 am

    the camera wass good and also the audio quality was a little off



  30. N Miles on November 6, 2021 at 11:19 am

    Whenever I connect it to a TV via HDMI it turns on Adaptive brightness and doesn’t turn off. It says its turned off but the screen goes dark and light, dark and light. Any idea how to fix this anyone ??



  31. kabee Row on November 6, 2021 at 11:23 am

    I got s7 tab it’s really gd easy to use camera quality is just wow



  32. The Meme King Offical on November 6, 2021 at 11:23 am

    I NEED THAT TABLET I NEEEEEED IT but to bad i have no money



  33. Roy on November 6, 2021 at 11:25 am

    Very bad microphone…sound appears muffled and far – needs immediate software update without which it’s close to unusable.



  34. Darius Kaciuga on November 6, 2021 at 11:26 am

    Well Ipad is better I think…price just 320….this one is so expensive.



  35. Khairi Adha on November 6, 2021 at 11:27 am

    Hi! I got one question, is this tab compatible for USB connection printer? For example HP Deksjet 2336



  36. Luke Knox on November 6, 2021 at 11:27 am

    Are you the brother of Nate? You sound and look very similar.



  37. Paola C. on November 6, 2021 at 11:28 am

    I just bought this today to use for classes and I’m super excited

  39. Post. Color. Gear. on November 6, 2021 at 11:35 am

    Which program is that near the beginning and the 3:34 mark?



  40. Jayjay Simmons on November 6, 2021 at 11:37 am

    Yet another fake review with just a hint of negativity to give it a sense of authenticity. I’m not falling for it.



  41. Nick S on November 6, 2021 at 11:37 am

    Great Review!



  42. Arjay Vicencio on November 6, 2021 at 11:38 am

    My newly brought Galaxy Tab S7 has an aggressive yellow-tint. Like the bluelight filter is on but it isn’t. Is that normal?



  43. ömer çelikten on November 6, 2021 at 11:39 am

    Hı I am a high school student. I am going to start at september and I think this tablet is Best optiom for me because I am going to do Microsoft office and take notes for school. Watch something and play some games at home. What do you think? What should I buy?



  44. Amartyya Das on November 6, 2021 at 11:40 am

    The apps looking stretched is nothing to do with Android, it is the developers not optimising it for a tablet interface



  45. Ewokkris on November 6, 2021 at 11:40 am

    I just bought a Tab S7. This will be the first tablet I ever bought. I want to say it’s my first tablet ever, but I got a smaller thick android tablet for Christmas one year that I stopped using pretty quickly because it kept telling me there wasn’t enough space to update apps anymore, and I barely downloaded anything. So that didn’t last long. Factory resetting it didn’t help either. I got that a few years back though and I’m assuming these tablets run much faster and better than the one I had. Lol It had a crappy system that didn’t let you do very much. Now it’s just a Flappy Bird brick. Yes, it still has that app on it. 😂 That’s all it can really do. It was probably one of those tablets that you can get for about $50 that somehow use up all their storage in a matter of weeks and then just don’t want to work right after that. I’m hoping this tablet will give me a better time. Haha Everyone seems to like it at least, and I want to get into digital drawing.



  46. baba rai on November 6, 2021 at 11:42 am

    I would be gland if you tell me if this tab can use for stock analysis. For eg tracing fib retracement on dex mode.Thank you



  47. Gazmeister Wongatron on November 6, 2021 at 11:43 am

    Beautiful



  48. snubbedpeer on November 6, 2021 at 11:45 am

    I use an app called Rotation control to force apps to rotate even though they don’t want to 👍



  49. ParaParagon on November 6, 2021 at 11:45 am

    Microsoft Surface + Android = Galaxy Tab S7



  50. Nick Shulyak on November 6, 2021 at 11:46 am

    Probably too late with my comments. You’ve downgraded yourself straightaway after your complaint that Dex mode is not optimised for some apps…. It’s the Android apps problem that a lot of apps have not been optimised for the Dex mode. They are still trailing behind IOS apps unfortunately. Is it Samsung tab problem? Definitely not so be more specific with your comments or substantiate your claims by for example giving some examples how good are other Android tabs in handling apps in the Dex similar mode…. Good luck and take care…
