In true Samsung style, the tablets are packed with high-end specifications and features. And just like the iPad Pro, they come with support for mouse and keyboard, and a stylus — in this case Samsung’s signature S-pen. Let’s look at the specifications of these bad boys first.
Galaxy Tab S7+
Screen: 12.4-inch Super AMOLED display/11-inch LPTS TFT display with 120Hz refresh rate Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus (7nm) RAM: 6GB/8GB Rear camera: 13-megapixel main sensor + 5-megapixel ultra-wide sensor Front camera: 8-megapixel Internal storage: 128GB/256GB Battery: 10,400 mAh/ 8,000 mAh (45W fast charging supported) Biometric authentication: In-screen fingerprint sensor/side-key fingerprint sensor Speaker: Quad Speakers sound by AKG Software: Android 10
Both tabs are almost identical on the spec sheet save a few areas such as the screen and the battery.
However, when we compare these to the iPad, we have to keep in mind that Apple’s A-series of chips are far more powerful than Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line processors. Plus, the iPad’s app ecosystem is more mature than Android’s apps for tablets. Both tablets support Samsung’s desktop-like DeX mode when you attach a keyboard case to it. Plus, through its partnership with Mircosoft, all your Samsung Reminders from the tablet will be synced with your Outlook and Microsoft’s To-Do app. The Tab S7 and S7+ will be available later this fall for starting prices of $649.99 and $849.99, respectively. Their keyboard cases will set you back $199.99 or $299.99 — depending on the variant. So, you might end up shelling out more than $1,000 if you want the full kit. Would you want that over an iPad Pro or even a MacBook?
