Design & Build Review
The Galaxy Tab S7 is a stylish 11-inch tablet that comes with dimensions of 253.8 x 165.3 x 6.3 mm. It weighs around 1.09lbs (498g) and is moderately light. You can comfortably hold it in one hand if you want, but the size is idyllic for two hands usage.
Our model came in Mystic Silver colour, but you can also get it in Mystic Bronze hue. It exudes premium-ness that you will notice as soon as you place your hands on it. The brushed metal finish ads flair, however, the backside is quite a fingerprint magnet.
At the top rear side, there is a glass strip that acts as a magnet. Samsung has included this strip to attach the S-Pen for user comfort. However, we found it displeasing as the magnet effect is not so strong. Plus, you can easily lose the stylus without you realising, as would be on the rear side of the tablet. However, Samsung has solved this issue for you with its stylish, chic cover.
Display Quality & Performance
The display on the Samsung tab S7 is an LTPS IPS-equipped screen. This 11-inch AMOLED panel offers a high-resolution of 2560 x 1600 with an aspect ratio of 16:10. Plus, the 120Hz refresh rate provides you with a fast-pace gaming experience when you are playing FPS games.
The power button also features a fingerprint reader, so you can quickly unlock your S7 tab. The narrow bezels around the display offer a better visual experience. However, it may irritate you if your palms touch the display before your S Pen.

The front camera on Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is 8MP with f/2.0. It can shoot videos at 30fps with 1080p resolution. The rear camera is a dual cam with a 13MP main and 5MP secondary lens. The main lens offers f/2.0, whereas the secondary cam is an Ultrawide lens with f/2.2. You can record Ultra HD (4K) videos at 30fps on your Samsung tab S7 using its rear camera.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Accessories
Samsung offers the S Pen with the tablet which we have already mentioned. However, you have to purchase the other accessories, such as the book cover. The cover adds a kickstand with the tablet and the good thing is it attaches itself magnetically.
You can also buy the Book Cover Keyboard to experience the 2-in-1 fun. So, you can use it as a convertible just like the Microsoft Surface Pro 7. But do not expect it to work a similar way like the Surface.
