Not too long ago, Samsung was the only real Android competitor to Apple in the tablet space.But that’s starting to change, and the iPad and Galaxy Tab are far from the only tablets worth considering. So what about the more affordable Tab S7 FE? Here’s our full review.Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE still worth buying?The Tab S7 FE launched in 2021, but it remained the latest model in Samsung’s mid-range tablet range until the end of 2023.That’s when the Tab S9 FE arrived, which brought several key upgrades and started at a more affordable $499/£449. A new Tab S9 FE+ model was also released. It’s even harder to recommend the S7 FE given the upgrades in the new model. Even at launch, it was held back slightly by choppy performance, a 60Hz LCD display, and Android software that wasn’t optimized for tablets.Since then, only the software has improved through updates. The high-end build, excellent battery life, and powerful S Pen stylus are all built to last, but the Tab S7 FE is only worth considering if you can find a deep discount. Samsung’s high-end tablets are usually impressive in terms of design, and this one is no exception. The Tab S7 FE combines the usual glass front with an aluminum back, making it easier to hold and more resistant to fingerprint smudges than glass-backed devices. This minimalist aesthetic is something I really like, and it gives the illusion that the device is much more expensive.The S Pen stylus that comes in the box is a passive version, meaning it doesn’t need to be charged for basic use. It can still be attached under the rear camera or to the side of the device, but the weak magnets mean it’s not worth it. If you plan to use the S Pen regularly, I recommend buying a case with storage for the stylus. Samsung’s high-end tablets are usually impressive in terms of design, and this one is no exception.

This minimalist aesthetic is something I really like, and it gives the illusion that the device is much more expensive.However, you’ll spend more time staring at the 12.4-inch screen, which is surrounded by slim bezels and has an 84.6% screen-to-body ratio – the same as the Tab S7+. Even when using the device with two hands, it can feel bulky at times, especially when the S7 FE weighs a hefty 608 grams.Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE review Another area where things have been cut back is audio, with a pair of stereo speakers instead of the four found on the flagship tablet. As a result, music loses some bass and clarity, but speech is largely unaffected. Audio remains one of the S7 FE’s strengths, helping to deliver a more immersive experience.The speaker grilles are located at the top and bottom of the device and aren’t obstructed when in landscape mode. The only other notable feature here is a USB-C port for charging. As with Samsung’s other high-end tablets, there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack.You’ll find a connector on the side of the device for plugging the S7 FE into a keyboard cover, but I didn’t have one on hand for this review. The regular volume rocker and power button are on the other side, though long-pressing the latter still triggers Bixby by default, which is annoying. This can be changed in Settings to show power options, but it still feels unnecessary.The 5G model I tested also has a SIM card tray, which doubles as a microSD card tray on the cheaper Wi-Fi-only model
Galaxy Tab S7 BatteryIt’s less of a blow to go with an LCD screen, but means you miss out on the deeper blacks and better contrast of an OLED screen.Despite these two shortcomings, the display is still far from a weak point. It offers impressive detail and vibrant colors for an immersive viewing experience. Watching YouTube or Netflix is a real highlight, even on videos in 1080p.Its maximum brightness also hit 411nits in testing, making it possible to use in direct sunlight. Unless you’re comparing it directly to Samsung’s flagship tablet, you’ll probably be happy with what the S7 FE has to offer.
