Samsung's new Android tablet Galaxy Tab S7 FE has finally arrived in the U.S., and with a suggested price of just over $500 for the Wi-Fi model, it has the potential to be one of the best Android tablets on the market.
While it may not compete with the expensive iPad Air or the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE offers specs there and a large 12.4-inch screen at an affordable price. It also comes bundled with an S Pen stylus (Apple charges $99 more for the Apple Pencil), and the stylus is designed to magnetically attach to the side for easy portability.
This could be a tablet you can carry around all day without worrying about a charger. In our review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, we praised the Android tablet's amazing 13-hour battery life; the S7 achieved that with an 8,000 mAh battery, so the new S7 FE's 10,090 mAh battery is even longer on a single charge It gives us hope that it can be used for even longer on a single charge.
Samsung brought the Galaxy Tab S7 FE to the UK first, where the 5G version has been available for several months starting at £589 (in black, silver, green, and pink).
Samsung will take a little longer to start selling the 5G version of the Galaxy Tab S7 FE in the US, with the Mystic Black version going on sale on Thursday, August 5 starting at $699. This model is available directly from Samsung, AT&T, and Verizon, and will also be available at T-Mobile and select retailers in the near future.
The Wi-Fi version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE will be available in the U.S. in September for a low MSRP of $529. It is not yet known what color options other than black will be available in the US.
The Galaxy Tab S7 FE (FE is said to stand for "Fan Edition") looks to be a decent competitor against some of the best tablets you can buy right now, thanks to its large screen, built-in stylus, and competitive price for the Wi-Fi model. Also, if you need a tablet for work and play on the go, the 5G version is also going to be a decent investment - plus it has a more powerful processor.
Samsung's Android tablets have impressed us with their efficiency and ease of use. If you already own a Samsung Galaxy device (such as one of the best Samsung phones), there is the added value of being able to communicate and share data in a unique way.
Additionally, if you are looking for an Android tablet with full access to the Google Play store, Samsung tablets are often a great choice. Of course, you'll have to wait until you try out the new Tab S7 FE to see how usable it is.
