The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 series represents a collection of Android tablets engineered and distributed by Samsung Electronics. The initial models—Galaxy Tab S7 and the larger Tab S7+—were introduced during Samsung's virtual Unpacked event on August 5, 2020, alongside the launch of the Galaxy Note20 lineup, Galaxy Z Fold2 foldable phone, Galaxy Watch3 smartwatch, and Galaxy Buds Live earbuds. Subsequently, the Galaxy Tab S7 Fan Edition was revealed on May 25, 2021.
The first two models became available for purchase starting August 21, 2020, coinciding with the release of the Galaxy Note20 series in various markets. The Fan Edition followed later with a market release date of June 18, 2021.
Design
The Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ retain a design closely resembling their predecessor. Nevertheless, the display dimensions have been increased, with the 11-inch variant succeeding the previous 10.5-inch model, alongside the introduction of a new 12.4-inch version. These tablets are offered in four distinct color options: Mystic Black, Mystic Silver, Mystic Bronze, and Mystic Navy.
Display
The Galaxy Tab S7 is equipped with an 11-inch LCD panel featuring a resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels, whereas the Tab S7+ boasts a larger 12.4-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2800 by 1752 pixels. Both models support a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Chipset
Under the hood, both devices utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ system on chip, fabricated using a 7 nm+ manufacturing process. Graphics processing is handled by the integrated Adreno 650 GPU.
Storage
Storage capacities for the Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ include options of 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB, though availability may vary depending on the market. Users can expand storage by up to 1 TB through a microSD card slot. The base RAM configuration starts at 6 GB and cannot be upgraded to the separate 8 GB model variant.
Battery
Both tablets contain non-removable lithium-ion batteries, with capacities of 8,000 mAh for the Tab S7 and 10,090 mAh for the Tab S7+. They support fast charging at up to 45 W.
Connectivity
Standard connectivity includes support for 5G networks; however, certain regions may receive LTE or sub-6 GHz only versions. Additionally, Wi-Fi only models are available.
Cameras
Both the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ come equipped with a dual-camera setup on the rear. The primary camera is a 13 MP wide-angle lens with a 26mm focal length and an aperture of ƒ/2.0, accompanied by an ultra-wide 5 MP lens featuring a 12mm focal length and an ƒ/2.2 aperture.
S-Pen
Mirroring the enhancements seen in the Galaxy Note 20 series, the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ offer improved stylus responsiveness with a latency reduced to 9ms. Additionally, they introduce new Air gesture functionalities.
Software
Initially launched with Android 10 running One UI 2, the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ are upgradable to Android 13 paired with One UI 5. The Fan Edition variant further supports updates up to Android 14 alongside One UI 6. Samsung DeX compatibility is also included. Given the Fan Edition's delayed release in 2021, Samsung committed to providing four major Android OS updates (through Android 14) and delivering security patches for five years, extending until 2025.
Support
Support for these tablets concluded after four years, with the final software update issued in August 2024. However, maintenance and updates for the Tab S7 FE continued through to 2025.
