Customer Ratings & Reviews

Samsung makes great products and it was time to update our old Tab S. We've enjoyed the large display for watching shows and the speed of the tablet is great. S pen is nice to prevent smudges. Wish it came with a folio.

About a year ago I got sick of the endless loop of buying cheapo tablets, having them work great for a few weeks and then either breaking, mysteriously slowing down or failing to be updated to the latest version of Android. I decided I’d spend a little more and buy a known brand, which led me to my first Samsung tablet – the A7. What a difference. And for all the money I’d wasted buying the off brands, I probably could have purchased two A7s! So, when the Samsung S7 FE edition became available, I jumped at the chance. After all, it was everything my A7 was, but better and bigger. And it does not disappoint…well mostly, but I’ll address my one big disappointment later. The screen on the S7FE is beautiful, sharp, and vivid. And as I’m getting older, I really appreciate the larger screen that makes everything easier to read. I participate in a lot of forums, read a lot of news sources and the 12.4-inch screen really makes it a joy to use. Ditto the aluminum unibody design, which looks sharp and feels high quality. It’s comfortable to hold, even for long sessions and the controls are logically placed. It has incredible battery life too, thanks to the 10090mAh battery. I really haven’t seen the battery go lower than 89% in the time that I’ve been using it and even if I forget to charge it overnight, I’m still good to go in the morning. It’s fast and fluid, whether launching an app or moving between apps. I also like the features that OneUI and my Samsung Account bring to the table. Because I set up my account with Samsung and enabled regular backups on my A7, when I first set up the S7 FE I was able to have everything up and running in a short time. All my apps on the A7 were installed for me and even better, my home screens were setup just like they were on the older tablet. OneUI is one of the best third-party Android ‘shells’ out there in terms of navigation and customization options. It eliminated my need to either root the device or find a home screen replacement as it does everything the stock Android system and then some. I tried DeX with a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo I had laying around and, in my opinion, it is much easier to work with than a Chrome OS desktop. I just wish that the S7 FE keyboard case was available at a more reasonable price. I mostly use the onscreen keyboard (I’ve become adept at using the sliding type method) so I’ll probably wait it out and see if it comes down in price. I ended up getting a rubberized wrap around case which has a small compartment to hold the stylus. Speaking of the stylus, while I’ve seen some complaints over the replacement of the S7+ active stylus for the FE’s passive one, I don’t have a problem with it. I think it would have raised the price and a most of the intended audience for the FE aren’t really going to miss it. I found the passive stylus quite good and have used it for sketching and drawing diagrams. It even worked well with handwriting recognition, though I find this method of input a little less efficient than the slide keyboard. Where I think Samsung really made a mistake was with the charger. The S7 FE is capable of 45-watt fast charging like their flagship models, but the FE comes with an anemic 15-watt charger. For the price of the FE, I can accept them not bundling the keyboard case or including the active S-pen but there is no excuse for not including the fast charger in the box. The price differential between the two is so little that it almost feels like a money grab to not include it. Yes, the battery life is awesome, and you don’t have to charge it as often but there is no reason they couldn’t have included it in the package. Overall, I’m super happy with the FE and it’s become my new daily driver leaving me with a decision on what to do with my old A7. It’s still a great smaller tab so putting it away or getting rid of it seems ridiculous. I’ll probably repurpose it as a dashboard for my home automation system. But I can’t imagine using it on a regular basis anymore since the S7 FE is such a pleasure to use! The FE in the model stands for “Fan Edition” and once you use it, you can see why. I truly am a Samsung tablet fan and would highly recommend it. I just wish that Samsung had really cared enough about their “fans” and included the 45-watt charger.

I stream movies, pay my bills, play games and check my emails. I even use this to create power point presentations for my job (like a dinosaur). I really like the bigger screen size.

My primary reason for this purchase was for entertainment. I've been able to download all my streaming services giving me a great portable entertainment hub. I really love the screen, which is an upgrade from my 10.1 in.

This is the third Samsung Galaxy Tab I've owned, and they just keep getting better. Extremely light weight, the sound is amazing for a tablet, images pop off the screen, and very responsive. I am very impressed.

The tablet is good enought. Obviosly s7 plus is better but this one is still good enought. 128Gb is the minimun that I recomend but not for the storage, for the 6Gb of ram. I tried the 64gb that came with 4gb ram and it was slow. A bad thing of this tablet is that the speakers are lower compared with the s7 plus but still decent

Good product. Having a physical keyboard helps a lot. Touch screen feature is great as well.

I absolutely love this tablet. I do my art on here and I also watch YouTube videos. It’s def worth the money and I’d buy it again if I needed too. Best tv I’ve bought so far!

I love this ipad I searched other websites to do a price comparison and best buy had the better price at this particular time didn't know what to expect but it is beyond my expectations

Great Tablet easy-to-use pen and screen display is good quality

works great and dose the job well. Dex is a great option on this item.

The display is clear and responds quickly. I do enjoy that the pen was included in purchase and that the weight of the device is low enough that I can hold it for long periods of time without causing cramping.

I have nothing but good things to say about Samsung oroducts and the tablet is no exception. I love the larger size and the thin profile. It has quick response time and vicid color. I am well pleased!

The Samsung tablet was more than I expected. I didn't know it can be used as a computer. It can have 2 screens open to view. My package was delivered ahead of schedule. I am enjoying my new toy.

Very large for video viewing, games, and drawing. S Pen works great. Got it at a large discount which makes it worth. Full price, you might want to wait until a discount of some sort.

Can't really rate it as this was a Christmas gift for my spouse. She apparently likes it

I bought this as a tablet specifically for digital art and it is absolutely amazing!!! The s pen is a big plus as well. Well worth it, and a much better price and quality than the ipad!!!

The pen magnet sucks but everything else is fine. :)

I am enjoying my tablet. I use it everyday. I guess I like all things Samsung.

Overall Great Tablet, has amazing sound quality with the loud speakers, very smooth and beautiful display, does way more then you would think, battery life is amazing even with heavy usage.
