Samsung Galaxy Tab S7FE Announced - It Undercuts the new iPad Pro

Just hours after this rumor article was published, Samsung officially announced both the Galaxy Tab S7 FE and the Galaxy Tab A7; official U.S. pricing for the S7 FE has not yet been announced, but prices in the UK are £589 ($835) for the 64GB model and £629 for the 128GB pounds ($892).

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE will come standard with both 5G and S Pen. The final colors are Mystic Black, Mystic Silver, Mystic Green, and Mystic Pink. Orders can be placed in the UK starting June 2, with stock arriving on June 18, but no US release date has been set yet.

The original article is below, slightly modified for accuracy.

Samsung has made yet another blunder, leaking their product on their website. The company announced the new Galaxy Tab S7 FE on its German site and then took it down. As with previous Samsung devices, FE stands for Fan Edition.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE has a 12.4-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 running at 60Hz and certainly looks to be a solid Android tablet for the price. iPad Pro with 12.9-inch mini LED display While not a 2021 killer, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE's leaked price is quite cheap.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE is priced at about $835; the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021 starts at $1,099 and the iPad Pro 2021 11-inch at $799. The iPad Air with 10.9-inch LCD starts at $599. The Tab S7 FE has 5G support and and both models do not come standard.

As for specs, according to WinFuture (translated link), the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G, which consists of two high-power cores running at up to 2.2 GHz and six 1.8 GHz energy-saving cores. It also has 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. The battery is large at 10,090 mAh and Samsung claims it can provide 13 hours of video playback; there is also a 128GB model with 6GB of RAM, which Samsung announced after this article was first published.

Another plus for the Galaxy Tab S7 FE is the location of the camera. In landscape mode, it is positioned above the display, making it usable in landscape mode; the iPad Pro's camera is positioned above the screen in portrait mode, making it difficult to use.

With the included S Pen, the Tab S7 FE can be used to take notes, draw pictures, and use pen-enabled apps.

One caveat continues to be apps. Samsung's hardware is usually great, but it's hard for any Android-powered tablet to compete with Apple's iPad; far more energy is being put into broad app support to make the iPad a superior tablet.

Interestingly, the Tab S7 FE also supports Samsung DeX, which allows it to connect to an external display. While this feature is not widely used, it can be a powerful way to use a tablet as a basic PC; DeX is not perfect, but it is certainly a usable platform for some users.
