Samsung’s next flagship tablet is the Galaxy Tab S7 series, and by the looks of it, the South Korean giant is trying its very best to beat the iPad Pro this time around. After all, the iPad Pro is largely the best tablet out there, and most Android tablets can’t even come close. However, specifications for the upcoming Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ have leaked out, and Samsung is improving quite a few things here.
Under the hood, things are likely going to be as capable as possible. The tablets will likely come with the latest Snapdragon 865+ SoC paired with at least 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Moreover, WinFuture suggests that there might be a 256GB variant as well, along with the capability to expand the storage to 1TB using a microSD card.
Anyway, while the internals seem fairly similar between the two tablets, outside, the stories are starkly different. The leak corroborates earlier reports about Samsung using LCD panels for its tablet. However, it seems that the smaller 11 inch variant will use an LCD while the bigger 12.4 inch Tab S7+ will still feature an AMOLED panel.
That choice inevitably results in differences between both the tablets. For one, the 11-inch Tab S7’s display will reach a higher peak brightness of 500nits, and feature a 274ppi pixel density. Moreover, since it’s an LCD panel, the fingerprint scanner will not be under the display. Instead, it’s expected to be placed on the side, probably incorporated with the power button.
Rather more interesting however, is WinFuture’s information about the S-Pen. The website says that the new S Pen with the Tab S7 will feature improved latency of 9ms. That brings the S Pen’s latency at par with the Apple Pencil, which is a pretty big deal. So far, the Apple Pencil has been undoubtedly the best out there. However, this new S-Pen might just steal away that crown.
The leak also gives away information about the camera prowess of the upcoming tablets. The Tab S7 series is likely to feature a dual rear camera with a 13MP primary lens and a 5MP ultra-wide angle lens. Both the tablets will shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second. On the front, you will get an 8MP f/2.0 selfie camera.
Moreover, the company will likely stuff huge batteries inside the tablets as well. The smaller Tab S7 is expected to feature a 7,040mAh battery while the bigger Tab S7+ is likely to feature a 10,090mAh battery inside. That should translate to impressive battery life for both these tablets. Moreover, the tablets will support 45W fast charging via the USB-C port.
