The NEW Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ By Dave2D

Okay, let's talk about the new Samsung Galaxy tablets. If you'd asked me before today, hey Dave, what is the best tablet out there? I would have said without a doubt, in my mind, like for sure iPad Pro. This is the best hardware. The best experience the best supported thing out there easy pick this product, the Samsung tab, s7 plus, is, in my opinion the first tablet out there that can legitimately compete with the iPad Pro's like it's that good. Now. This is for sure.

The best android tablet right, not a very difficult achievement to a hit uh, but I think for many people this is actually the better choice and the more practical choice over the iPad Pro. That's a big claim now to understand why we have to look at this product as a comprehensive package, not just as a tablet by itself, but the whole thing like the keyboard, the s pen, because when you're looking at tablets at this kind of price point, these premium devices you're not just using them for media consumption right, there's, obviously a reason as to why you're picking this up, instead of like a cheaper, two or three hundred dollar tablet, just for media consumption. The plan is: when you pick up something premium and high-end, you want to do more than just consume media right, at least that's the thinking. So let's look at the hardware first. Obviously, this thing is packed with some powerful stuff, the snapdragon 865 plus six gigs of ram 128 gigs of storage and also has a new 120hz display panel, which is a smoother and more fluid visual experience and also has a new s pen and a new keyboard which we'll get into a little.

But the hardware on this thing is excellent. As a media consumption device, this thing is awesome. The speakers are very loud, very clear. There's two on each side: it's a very nice audio experience. If you're watching movies, you're listening to music, anything that has to do with sound this thing.

Does it really well? The exterior of the device hasn't changed much from last year's model, but the front facing camera is now positioned in a way. So that's on top in landscape mode, the new screen is 120. Hertz ammo led high PPI, it's a fantastic visual experience and because it's got a high refresh screen stuff just looks super fluid on it. Now I've talked about in phone videos. How a high refresh screen isn't super important right, because on a phone I mean scrolling is nice.

Scrolling very smoothly is really nice, but when it comes to a tablet, a high refresh screen makes a huge difference, especially when there's a pen or an s pen involved- and this is one of the reasons why I like the iPad Pro so much when you're, drawing or just doing any kind of creative work with a pencil or a pen and there's no lag. It just makes the whole pen and tablet experience so much better, and this year they've reduced the latency on the s pen to nine milliseconds. It's superfast. When you draw with this thing, it really feels like there's no perceptible latency between the s pen and the screen. It's just so much better than last year's model.

Now, when you're done with it or when you want to store it, it just goes into the back of the device it stores magnetically. It doesn't have a divot on the back of the screen like last year's model, it just attaches onto a flush surface. The case that I have on this device is the bookcase keyboard, and it is so much better than last year's model. That thing used weird adhesives to stick the back thing on. It was no good, it was unreliable and, more importantly, the keyboard.

This is a way better keyboard than last year's model. This types, similarly to a surface device, it's not as good. I definitely prefer the surface keyboards, but the layout is on point, and it just feels appropriate. Like the responsiveness of the keys is nice, it doesn't have backlighting, which is unfortunate, and the keyboard also does not tilt up like surface keyboards, also unfortunate, but the overall typing experience is good now. The reason why I'm even talking about this stuff but the pen and the keyboard are because the functionality that this whole thing provides comes to life with Samsung DEX and, if you're unfamiliar with what DEX is its this platform that Samsung has that allows you to use their android devices in an environment.

That's more windows like right: it's got a taskbar. It's got windows that you can resize and stuff like that. It's a very productivity, focused platform. Now here's the thing: Samsung DEX is available on pretty much every single Samsung device, their phones, that's a lie, not every Samsung devices. Clearly, their fridges don't have Samsung decks, but they're they're android devices, the current ones have decks, and I've always found decks to be gimmicky when it comes to their phones, because it's like, in order to use this to use it effectively, you need to have a keyboard, a mouse and potentially a bigger screen like whose carrying that stuff around right.

It's. It feels like a cool idea, but not a lot of people are using decks on their phones, but when it comes to a tablet, what I think DEX does is it gives the user a different user interface, depending on whether they're holding the tablet and using it for media consumption or handheld touch sensitive things, and it differs from when you connect it up to your keyboard and that, I think, is a fundamental difference between this tablet and just gives it so much more practicality versus everything else out there if you're, using an iPad if you're holding it your hand, if you have it connected to a keyboard, and you're, doing work on it. Furthermore, it's the same UI and multitasking on iPadOS doesn't feel particularly efficient and same thing with windows tablets when it comes to the surface devices. Furthermore, it's why they're great as laptops, but they're, not the best media consumption devices when it comes to handheld use with DEX. Furthermore, it allows the device to be a perfect tablet and a perfect laptop, because the UI can switch to an environment where there are multiple windows that you can move around and resize, however, which way you want- and that is so useful like there's a reason why Microsoft Windows has that stuff.

There's a reason why macOS has that stuff, because resizable windows, movable windows, is so useful when you're trying to get stuff done, and that's always been one of the biggest shortcomings of iPads, because iPadOS doesn't allow true or proper multitasking, it's got some panes. You can shift them around. But it's not like this. If you want the good stuff, Samsung decks, uh battery life on this thing is pretty solid. It's an easy, 10 hours.

If you wanted to, you could probably hit like 13 14 if you lower the screen brightness, but at like the three-quarter mark so there I just ran the test 10 and 10 hours in a little, it's pretty solid. Now there are some disadvantages with Samsung's tablets. There are two things that come to mind. Both software related number one apps iPads, just have a more robust app selection developers, probably feel more comfortable, more confident in developing apps for this user base, because there's so many tablets like iOS tablet, users out there versus a tablet, that's android based, but secondly, I'm going to bring this up because their track record in the past hasn't been excellent. Samsung's support for their hardware, it's like a comfortable two years, sometimes three years- and I don't know- if that's you know, I don't know how that's going to be like in three years time.

You always get two years of great support and then afterwards it's hit or miss. Now with iPads. You just get awesome updates for four to four or five years. Sometimes two to three: isn't: is comfortable you'd be lucky if you got more, but that's the Galaxy Tab, s7 plus, I think it's a perfect devices here so much better, it's so much more competitive now that they have the 120 hertz screen and the overall pack is just so much more refined. Okay, hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs.

If you liked it subs, if you loved it I'll see you guys next time.
