DO NOT Buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE! By TechOdyssey

Hey everybody welcome back to tech odyssey, I'm here today to talk about the completely not exciting Samsung Galaxy tab, s7 Fe edition, or as I call in the title, the FM edition now there is a reason that I call it that I have been keeping an eye on this. Basically, since the stuff was leaking all over the place a month or two ago, and then finally, they announced it and released it in Europe, not the United States, which I don't know why they keep doing that they did the same thing with the tab. S7, however, don't buy this tablet unless you can get it like six months from now, when they're trying to get rid of it because they can't sell it, nobody wants to buy it, and you can get a good deal on it because of course, Samsung always has good deals right now. It is a terrible deal, and it has- I don't know what they were thinking when they made this other than. Let's just put this tablet out we're going to try and build off the success of the s20 Fe last year. We're going to build off the success of the tab, s6 light like: where is the tab s7 light? Everybody was excited about that one.

I mean the prospect of that happening. We thought that this was going to be the light edition. The tab s6 light was such a home run last year. It was like completely out of the norm for them, so I thought maybe they had turned the page. Unfortunately they turned the page and the chapter, and they picked up their old book of tricks and decided to sell you something that is completely subpar for the price, and we're going to talk about that in this video.

But before I get into that, I do want to say if this is your first time stopping by the channel. Thank you for being here. If you enjoy the video, please hit the like, and the subscribe button and little notification bell. If you want updates, when new videos come out now, let's talk about this shenanigans' tablet: the tab s7 FM edition, so we all know that Samsung basically makes the best tablets in the android world. The tab, s7, plus last year's tab- s6 actually another year before that, because the s8 will be coming out sometime later this year.

Presumably this one right here, I was really looking forward to it, because the s6 light was such a good tablet. Yeah, it wasn't the big most powerhouse in the world, but it was finally a departure from Samsung charging you a million dollars for their flagship lineup, and you know the series is okay. Those cheaper tablets are fine, but having a light edition, having a still very capable tablet that looks nice and is in high quality, build and all that good stuff is very valuable because if you look around the android tablet, landscape, there's just nothing. There really worthwhile other than a few odds and ends here and there so enter stage left tab, s7, Fe edition they want. First, I don't like how they did this either, so they're making the 5g edition available.

Now you can buy the 5g one now it'll show up in a couple of weeks based off of what I saw on Samsung's website, but 669 dollars. That's for the 64 gig model. It comes with six gigs of ram. It has a snapdragon, 750 g, a 750 g. Furthermore, it looks like it has quad HD, plus graphics, which is okay, but then, when you have the 750g, it's something that's going to get bogged down more like it's not going to be able to run as well as it could.

If it had a 1080p screen, and you'd think I wouldn't be advocating for this. But if you're going to put a 750g in there, which is about on par with the 765g of last year, it's weird how they did that 765g last year than 750 this year, but the 750 is actually a little higher clocked in the GPU department for gaming either way I thought it would be 1080p. The s6 light was 1080p, so I thought that's kind of how things would roll. I don't really want a 1080p tablet, especially with a 12.4-inch screen, but you know when it comes down to performance with that 750. I didn't expect it to be that.

Well, here comes the screen. It's a TFT LCD screen. It's basically the same screen quality as the panel. That's in the s6 light, except it's larger. It's a 12.4! It's basically the mean it is its the same size as the tab. F7 plus screen, except the tab.

F7 plus is 120 hertz, and it's an ammo led, and it's hdr10 all that great stuff, and then you have this TFT screen. So in the hierarchy of tablets, it's not even an IPS panel. You look at AMOLED, we got the LED screen, and then you go down to LCD IPS panel, and then you go down to like bottom of the barrel TFT screen, and it's 60 hertz, it's not even 120 hertz. It's not even 90 hertz. This calling this a fan, edition version of the s7 plus is like the biggest insult Samsung has done in a very long time, and I don't know what other videos you're watching out there.

I don't I don't watch other people's content before I make my videos. I think the sentiment around this tablet is not good one. It's not exciting nobody's really talking about it. From what I've seen. I mean it just out of nowhere hey by the way it's going to go on pre-order tomorrow, so yeah 64, gigs of ram a 12.4-inch TFT panel 60 hertz, snapdragon, 750 g. Of course, you can get 5g.

If you get that one. Instead of the Wi-Fi model, 669 669. , you can go online right now and get a tab s7 with an 11-inch screen. That is an IPS panel that is 120 hertz, that has the snapdragon 865, plus all the bells and whistles granted a 1.4-inch smaller screen for like 6.49, so it's actually still cheaper than the fan edition, you're just getting the 5g mode a minute. And then, if you look at the full price tab, s7 plus yeah, it's 849, 180 more, but nobody's going to pay that price you get all the trade-in stuff you can buy them used.

You can find good deals. Samsung is trying to shove these things out the door all the time if you pay full price for one of these tablets, you're doing it wrong. So, looking at it and of course, they'll allow you trade in this group you can trade in on Samsung. The best they'll give you for any Samsung phone is only 350 by the way and that's the z, flip 5g, who, in their right mind, is going to trade in a Samsung Galaxy z, flip 5g for 350 bucks to get a tab, s7 Fe edition. If you do that, please unsubscribe to my channel, don't ever watch my videos again.

That is the worst thing you could ever do with your life. So you can see here I'm very irritated about this, because Samsung has a history of selling you think that are overpriced and trying to rip you off, and this is another classic iteration of it happening again, and I really it really frustrates me because there are people who want this tablet. There are people who are looking forward to it, and then it's a debacle. So if you look at last year with the s20 Fe, it was such a good phone. I mean even MHD said it was his phone of the year.

It was like my runner-up for phone of the year in the flagship department. Usually you get a lot of good things at a cheaper price and that's great that's what we all want when you look at this one you're getting the same size as screen as you are, with the tab, seven plus, but everything else is, like dollar store stuff inside it. If you look at it at face value, it looks sharp, it looks. Nice they've got some different colors. I like the way it looks, and then they give you a potato quality camera.

They give you a. I mean, not potato quality processor, but for the price. No, absolutely not. They give you a beyond potato quality screen with the TFT LCD panel. They give you potato storage.

Of course, it is expandable to one terabyte but 64 gigs you're telling me it's in the year 2021 halfway through it, you're going to make a fan edition tablet you're, going to give me six gigs of ram. Of course, if you get the cheaper Wi-Fi model, you can get the four gig ram model, which makes really no sense like I don't understand how they did that at all and thought hey. This is a great idea, we'll sell this to people. They are trying to rip you off. They are, and you know that that's the only way that I can put it.

You can get a s7, it's a better deal. You get a tab. S7 plus hey go buy an iPad like if you want a perfect tablet. That's going to blow this one out of the water go, get a 10.2-inch iPad, and you can still get Apple Pencil generation.1 support, I those are perfect deals. This is not a good deal by any stretch of the imagination.

It's not going to sell well, and it's going to add to that metric of theirs, where it shows all of their sales going down by like 27 26 over this last year and Xiaomi is going up. Apple is going up, Samsung is destroying themselves from the inside out. So yes, you get a nice tablet. It's going to be fine. If you, if you don't listen anything I say, and you're just like this is the tablet for me: I'm going to go, buy it.

It's not a bad tablet, a snapdragon 750 g, very capable it's a good mid-tier processor, but for the price, it's just a complete rip-off the screen. It is too low quality. The cameras are not good quality, low storage, low ram, there's just nothing there. That's appealing, I mean yeah, it's got the stereo AKG tuned speakers. What did you do, but that's not a great selling point? It's just to me.

It's its perplexing! I don't know why they're doing this, and I'm not doing this as a sensational video, I'm doing this as a stay away run as far from this tablet as possible. Don't waste your money on it, it does even the s pen yeah it comes with it. It doesn't, to my knowledge, have the same level of latency with the nine millisecond response time as the note or the other tab s7 device. So it is pressure sensitive. It doesn't have the air gestures, it's not a pro level stylus, it's not like the one with the other tabs, where you can do all those cool things, but I don't know what they were thinking, and you know I've shared a lot of deals over the last six seven months when you could get like perfect deals on a tab.

Seven tabs, seven plus get them for like way cheaper, four or five hundred dollars, especially with trading. You can get better specials. I just really don't know what they were thinking when they brought this to market and then of course, like I said they brought it over internationally first and then here they're bringing the 5g model first, so they can try and charge you more money, 669, not a good deal if you're going to get it get the Wi-Fi model which is like 529 but again 64, gigs of storage, four gigs of ram. You have to pay more money just to get to the 128, which is the baseline storage for the tab, s7 and s7, plus you're already in the 600 category. Why wouldn't you just get it the regular s7? I mean why not? And they say that if you go ahead and get it to pre-order, you get 80 of in-store credit, but if you buy the tab, s7 the s7 plus you get a pair of Samsung Galaxy buds pro, which are worth more than 80 dollars and are actually perfect earbuds.

So all this to say Samsung is smoking, some absolute rocks and that's why I call this the Samsung Galaxy tab, s7 FM edition, because basically they're just shooting two middle fingers at you and saying give us your money, we're trying to screw you over and sell you a product that you really shouldn't buy again: it's not a bad product, it's just not a product that they should be selling for anywhere near that amount of money they just should not. Now, if they had, I mean it's really even hard to say if they had like an 865 plus in there, because this the s7s already have that if they wanted to sell with like an IPS panel with 60 hertz with maybe an 860 that we mean still a very powerful processor, you get longer shelf life because of the updated warranty and the support for additional years like there are ways that maybe they could make it better and sell it for maybe about 4.99. I think 499 would be much more competitive like for a much better model for this model. No, this model this should not be sold for more than 3.99. This is not even a 400 tablet in my mind, and they're selling it for five and six hundred dollars for the base.

Entry storage price model with all the dubbed down stuff. So this is like a 350.399 dollar tablet they're trying to shoot the moon for it. There's just no reason to buy this when the s7 and the s7 plus exist, and even if they didn't, it would be way overpriced compared to the competition. That's also giving you mediocre, mid-tier tablets. So that's all I really have to say in this video.

I know I've gone on and on. This is probably the most randiest video I've ever made in the history of all time. But as soon as I saw this stuff and the shenanigans they were trying to pull, I just had to get this off of my mind. Tell you guys avoid it like the plague, don't touch it do not trade anything in, for it do not buy it. The s8 will be here soon.

This tablet, I with almost certainty by this, fall, or at least when Black Friday rolls around, will be way cheaper, and we'll have much better deals. It is like. I said it's not a bad tablet. It's just a terrible tablet for that price. If you can get it on sale around the holiday season in a few months for like 350 399, you can get a better trade-in special with it.

You can find some way to make a better deal out of it. Maybe you could consider it then, but right now, no don't touch it. Don't make me get the little spray bottle and spray it at you and say: don't touch it. Don't do it. Okay, just save your money, wait for the s8, wait for the inevitable big price drop on the s7 and the s7 plus as soon as the s8 and s8 plus get here or ultra whatever they're going to call it they're going to be good deals like they're going to be good deals of plenty, especially this fall.

Don't do this just stay away anyway. That's all I got for this video. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free leave them down in the comment section I'll get back with you.
