Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the usability of this tablet. Also the screen size.

very cool and smooth tablet. I have been using it for notes, and I honestly think it is a good tablet for students or anyone who likes to take notes digitally. I would recommend it to anyone. Now on gaming performance, I found the iPad to be a lot better, but this tablet is still good for it.

Love the size and quality is to die for! Definitely get your money’s worth

The tab is perfect for me. It beyond my expectation. I love it.

This big screen tablet is great, I bought again for a gift.

Works perfect and fast. You can do wherever you want with this tablet

Awesome tablet for my son he really loved it.......

This Tab is very fast and wow the screen is so clear.

When looking for a new tablet this was the perfect gift for me. Its nice and big and i love that it came with a styls pen. It came it pretty cool colors also.

I have been using a Samsung s5e which I like quite a bit. But the larger screen size on the S7 FE and it seems to perform fine for my purposes. I recommend it.

Very big & Fast on speed did everything we needed it to do

Nice tablet, but was purchased for gaming and it did not work for gaming. Went with the S8+.

Good unit was a great Christmas gift. Good size and good system.

It's been years since I've owned Android on a Samsung product. Boy have I missed it. It comes with a free TV app very similar to Pluto. Also some free podcasts, free Taboola news and free Instant Plays. It is pretty fast and the battery life is good. I left it on for 7 hours but with the screen off and it only got down to 93%. I installed an update and it only took 4 minutes. It will recognize your face to login. The screen is very bright and just the right size to enjoy any Streaming apps like Netflix. The speakers are on both edges and use Dolby Atmos for a good listening experience. Takes great pictures and then you can use the stylus pen to draw on them. Comes with the Penup app for creative drawing and the pen performs just like you were using a pencil. You can also write and it will turn your writing into text. The pen attaches magnetically to the back. Not sure if I like that yet as it could easily be knocked off or feel like it is in the way. I've been waiting a long time to try Samsung DEX and it is great. It gives the feeling just like a computer experience. I hooked it up by USB-C to my Samsung display and the tablet will turn into a touchpad to use for scrolling or typing. It will open 3 apps at one time which you can customize how they look. You can also sync your account up with Microsoft to use Office, OneDrive and Outlook. So this performs better than my other PC. If you have a phone and Galaxy buds, you can move websites or text from one device to the other. If you get a call while watching a video, the buds will connect to your phone and then switch back to the tablet when you end the call. The tablet however doesn't come with a keyboard and the charger they provide is not the faster 45W. You will have to purchase those separately. Overall, this is a great tablet that is not as expensive as the other and performs almost as well if not better in some areas.

the display is huge compared to my 5 years old ipad.

Nice tablet for the price. Good picture quality and size.

Its a fantastic tablet, I can't find anything bad to say about it!

I have watched many video reviews of the tablet when compared to the Galaxy Tablet S7+. I have to assume that if you had the S7+ to compare side-by-side with the S7 FE you would notice some differences and at that point you might be inclined to buy the S7+ instead of the S7 FE as the S7 FE, or Fan Edition, is supposed to be a more budget-friendly version of the S7+ with a few reduced features. I think that on its own, if the S7+ didn't exist, I would recommend the S7 FE. because there are not many other tablet brands in this space: Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei and Google. That's it. Huawei is not available in the US, Apple OS is in an entirely different class of tablet, Google focuses on Chrome OS and replacing the PC experience, Amazon focuses on offering budget tablets just to get their hardware in your hand so you can spend on Amazon digital products. That just leaves Lenovo and Samsung. The only Lenovo tablet that can really compare is the Tab P11, but that is more akin to the Samsung Galaxy S7, not the S7FE or S7+. As a result, at the end of the day, if you are looking for a premium android tablet, the S7 FE's only competition is the S7+. And I would recommend the S7+ over the S7 FE. The S7 FE is the same size and build quality as the S7+. What is get on the FE (vs the plus) is: Slower processor (Snapdragon 765 vs 865) Lower quality screen (60 hz IPS vs 120 hz AMOLED, 1600p vs 1752p) Lower camera resolution (rear: 8 mp vs 13 mp, front: 5 mp vs 8 mp) Extra weight (0.65 oz) Fewer speakers (2 vs 4) Slightly thicker body (0.6 mm) Overall the tablet is very nice. The Pen is wonderful, very responsive, feels great in the hand. The screen is great on its own, when not compares to the S7+. I put on a glass screen protector (which was a pain in the butt to install - trying to avoid dust on a 12" screen protector is hard!) and the responsiveness hasn't changed at all. Samsung DeX is a very nice experience that replicates a PC experience, especially if you have a the Keyboard Book cover for the tablet (keep in mind that the S7 and S7+ already have DeX). Samsung offers the new S7 FE keyboard book cover, or you can use the older larger book cover that was designed for the S7+ if having a touchpad is important (which I think it is). I am currently typing on the S7+ keyboard book cover and it works great. Everything is very snappy on the tablet. Audio is great (although I think I might have enjoyed the 4-speaker array of the S7+). Most of the things you lose from the S7+ you won't notice. The screen resolution, the thicker body, the processor performance, the extra weight. Heck, you will probably never even use the cameras to notice the difference. My wife has been using her (Apple) tablet for 3 years now. She rarely ever uses the cameras other than to do the occasional video chat (for which 5 mp is more than sufficient). The big one you will notice is the screen. I am unable to see it since I don't have an S7+ to compare, but I see it in the video reviews on YouTube. I think you will get a much better experience out of the 120 hz AMOLED screen vs the 60 hz IPS screen. You might also notice the performance difference between a Snapdragon 865 and 765. The cost difference for the S7 FE vs the S7+ (128GB/6GB models) is $130 (current Sep 19, 2021 discounted prices of $599 vs $729). I mean, if you are already ready to spend $600 on a tablet, might as well pay the extra $130 for the better "full version" of the tablet. Now, if $600 is your budget, ok, I can understand. Heck, you can even drop down to the 64 GB of this tablet (a version which does not exist on the S7+) and you are only paying $530 at that point (not to mention that as of today, Sep 19, 2021, Best Buy is offering a $50 gift card with purchase of the S7 FE tablets, all versions). But if you can afford the extra $130 go with the S7+. One last side point. If you are excited at Samsung DeX and are hoping for it to be an equal experience to Chrome OS, don't get your hopes up. I mean it is great. It is a wonderful addition to an Android Tablet and really brings something new to the Android tablet experience. But, I only recommend taking DeX into consideration of your purchase (of either the S7 FE or S7+) if your goal is to purchase an Android tablet and have the OPTION to use it as a psuedo-chromeOS PC at times. Think of Samsung Dex as running Blue Stacks (in Windows) at full screen with the ability to have apps in individualized windows like Windows OS. You get to run all the Android apps you want in a Windows-ish environment, but you don't get the polished PC Android expereince that Chrome OS brings (of course the big downside of Chrome OS is that you can't run all Android apps, you are limited to Chrome OS specific apps, which are better designed). Just as an example, Android browser apps are intended to view webpages in mobile mode. When you are in DeX mode viewing in Desktop mode is much more amenable. Problem is that on an Android tablet you lose some functionality of how you would use desktop mode that you only get from a true desktop operating system (little things here and there).

Awesome tablet my daughter loves it. She mostly likes to draw on it.

I absolutely love my tablet. Like the screen and how big it is.
