Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ are here: 120Hz screens, S865+ and S Pen
Samsung is one of the few remaining companies that makes Android tablets, but Android competition is not what the company is trying to best – instead, Apple’s iPad Pro and Microsoft’s Surface are the real adversaries.
Today the company is unveiling two Tab S7 models, the unifying theme between them is a display with 120Hz refresh rate and S Pen support, great audio and video capabilities, high performance Snapdragon 865+ chipset and Android UI customized for productivity.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ is the larger of the two with a 12.4” AMOLED display. It’s has sharp 2,800 x 1,752 px resolution and 420 nit brightness. The fingerprint reader is built into the display.
The slate comes bundled with the upgraded S Pen from the new Note20 Ultra, which reduces latency to just 9 ms. The deep integration with Microsoft Office is present, but compared to the Notes it is enhanced with the optional keyboard add-on and always available DeX mode, which offer a laptop-like experience.
This tablet is quite thin, it measures a mere 5.7mm. However, its 10,090 mAh battery should be enough for 16 hours of uninterrupted video watching. Also, while the tablet supports 45W charging, you will need to purchase the right Power Delivery charger separately.
The Tab S7+ is powered by a Snapdragon 865+ chipset, which is quite a bit faster than the S855+ chip of the Tab S6 5G from earlier this year.
There will be thee connectivity options - Wi-Fi only, LTE and 5G. Auto Hotspot will automatically tether your other Galaxy devices to share the tablet's connectivity.

The chipset is paired with 6GB of RAM. It comes with 128GB of built-in storage, which you can expand using the microSD slot. An 8/256 GB configuration is also available.
The back of the tablet houses two cameras – 13MP main + 5MP ultrawide – plus a magnetic strip to hold the S Pen. For video calls, there’s an 8 MP camera on the front.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ as well as the S7 will start shipping in select markets on August 21. Here are the European prices for the S7+:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+
6/128 GB Wi-Fi €900
6/128 GB 5G €1,100
8/256 GB Wi-Fi €980
8/256 GB 5G €1,180

The Galaxy Tab S7 is an alternative to the plus model rather than just a lower cost option. It’s smaller with an 11” display and if you prefer LCD over AMOLED, you’ll be glad to hear that Samsung went with an LTPS TFT panel.
One advantage is that it’s brighter – 500 nits – while still supporting 120Hz refresh rate and the new S Pen although at the regular 26ms latency (same as the vanilla Note20).

Beside being smaller in the width and height dimensions, the Tab S7 is also lighter by almost 100g, all of which makes this tablet much easier to carry.
The battery capacity goes down to 7,040 mAh, but it still manages to power the hardware for a long time (15 hours of video, just 1 hour less than the plus).
Other than that, the vanilla Tab S7 uses the same chipset (S865+) with same memory configurations (6/128GB, 8/256GB) as its plus sibling, same cameras too (13MP + 5MP on the back, 8MP on the front).
DeX mode can be used on the tablet itself and you can enhance it with the Book Cover Keyboard, which has a touch pad. Also, the USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port supports DisplayPort so you can connect and external monitor with a single cable (i.e. no need for a separate power cable).
Both the Tab S7 and S7+ feature four AKG speakers (two on the left, two on the right). These support Dolby Atmos if you're in the mood to watch a movie. By the way, the fingerprint reader is also mounted on the side because of the LCD.
The Galaxy Tab S7 will start shipping on August 21, here are the European prices:

6/128 GB Wi-Fi €700
6/128 GB LTE €800

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 design revealed through leaked images
We've been hearing about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 for the past couple of months now and today we get our first look at the Korean company's upcoming tablet courtesy of OnLeaks, who shared CAD renders of the Galaxy Tab S7 in partnership with French blog Pigtou.
The Galaxy Tab S7 doesn't look all that different from its predecessor - the Galaxy Tab S6. The Tab S7 is rumored to come in two sizes - 11" and 12.4" - and the one we are looking at right now is the 11" model, which OnLeaks claims is 253.7mm long, 165.3mm wide and 6.3mm thick (7.7mm with the camera bump).
On the right side of the screen is the selfie camera and around the back, we get a dual camera setup aligned vertically in the top-left corner with the flash, which might be replaced with the third camera. We'll have to wait for more details to emerge from separate sources to be certain.

Like the Galaxy Tab S6, the Galaxy Tab S7 also has a groove below the rear cameras for the S-Pen stylus. And the Samsung logo which was placed in the center on the Tab S6 is moved below the S-Pen groove on the Tab S7.
On the right side of the Galaxy Tab S7 is microSD/SIM card slot, volume rocker and the power button, which appears to have a fingerprint reader embedded. That's surprising since the Tab S6 came with an in-display solution.

The USB-C port is located at the bottom of the Tab S7, but you don't get the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The 11" Galaxy Tab S7 is rumored to pack a 7,760 mAh battery, whereas the larger model is said to have a 9,800 mAh cell under the hood. Both models are rumored to have a Snapdragon 865 SoC at the helm and support 5G networks, at least in the US and Europe.
There's no official word from Samsung about the Galaxy Tab S7 yet, but the tablet is expected to arrive in July or August.
