Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Review: A Fantastic Value

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 at Amazon*: geni.us/samsunga7
My review: mynexttablet.com/samsung-gala...
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 offers a fantastic value. As my review shows, its processor is quite powerful for its inexpensive price class, it's running Android 10, and has a good 10.4-inch display. I also like that we're getting four speakers, a microSD card slot, and the battery life is decent. It does not support the S Pen, however, so keep that in mind.
Do you like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7?

Keep up the great work and I appreciate your hard work and dedication

[@froukebusscher745]

I just love your reviews.

[@tamunaabazadze9087]

This one is quite interesting! Thanks for this video! Even though I just bought my tab s7+, I like this one as well.

[@dylreesYT]

OMG buy me a Tab S7+ and I will give you my iPad Pro (2018). I don't like it lol.

[@chowjunyi963]

@@dylreesYT why?

[@dylreesYT]

@@chowjunyi963 Primarily, I don't like the "liquid retina" display. I'm sure Samsung also shares in the second problem but Apple have also made it so thin that the battery life compared to my very old iPad 4 isn't good. Acknowledging that the iPad 4 is literally 3x the weight and probably thickness, it lasts a month or so on standby where the iPad Pro lasts a week. When actually being used, I also feel like the battery life is shorter despite the iPad 4 being old and both were marketed as "10 hours of battery" when it came out. It's mostly the display though. No reviewer seems to have spoken about it but I've had two iPad Pro's and both seems "smudgey" to me, when scrolling the home page for example the icons seems to blurr to 50% extra of their size. When scrolling a website it can often look like the text does the same. Not noticed that when watching videos though, which is an important exception to note. I've tired turning off 120Hz and other turning off other settings and I still notice it. I honestly don't know why nobody else has spoken about it but I personally wish I saved money and got a Tab S6 or S5e at the time. Now the S7+ looks perfect so I definitely want that now but that wasn't out when I got either of the iPad Pro's (the second one was a replacement using insurance because I utterly destroyed it by accident lol).

[@chowjunyi963]

@@dylreesYT I feel like Android tablets especially Samsung doesn't last very long on standby, my Note 9 takes up 5% in 8h standby compared to none to 1% on most iPhones, and I've seen complains about S7's display colour not balanced, not sure about the S7+ tho I also really hate Android tablets when in landscape mode, it looks super ugly and all the widgets are messed up, so I hope maybe they can come up with a solution/fix with Android 11

[@dylreesYT]

@@chowjunyi963 I also have a Note 9 :D But yeah Android has never been as good for standby battery life. I've only been looking up the S7+ and not the S7 (waste of money compared to the S6 since I'm a gigantic fan of AMOLED/OLED) and I haven't seen any one complain about the display. That being said, you could probably find an app to help with that lol. Like a blue light filter app but more complex and aids in colour correction. I know that the Apple ecosystem is better for iPads but Android has come a long way since it was an undisputed fact. Interestingly, the Instagram app still isn't optimised for iPads despite them easily being able to afford such a goal, iPads having cameras as good as many phones and iPad having a large user base. Snapchat is the same last time I checked. I know they don't look amazing on Android tablets but surely it's better use if space from a practical and an aesthetic stand point that giant black bars and iPhone 4/4S quality app? If it wasn't for my dislike of the display, I'd probably be happy with my iPad. The battery is a disappointment but it's not like any modern alternative would be much better. I've never seen a messed up widget (considering I'd only use a clock widget I guess that's to be expected) on Android but I may have to look that up. Thanks! What tablet (which includes iPad) are you using, if any?

[@hlb979]

hi, thank you for the review(s); a question: does it come with a protective screen preapplied on the screen? it's a simple "feature", but especially if one wants to travel with it (eg. for the lte version in particular), it would be easier to... sanitize...

Thanks for the review! Your channel was a nice find for me in terms of tablet, of course.

[@garrettbell5875]

Thanks! How would you compare the viewing angles on this tablet to those of the Tab A 10.1 and S6 Lite? I just picked the A7 up and have noticed some unevenness in screen brightness when tilting the display. Is that fairly standard on non-AMOLED tablets? Assuming the S5E would be better in this regard but I got the A7 for $169 and I don't know if it would really be worth twice as much money...

[@manojkale4408]

Amoled is always better than LCD when its come to viewing angle, deep black, and punchy color

[@BioHazardN00B]

Yeah i'm wondering myself how the A7 compares to the S6 Lite outside of the S-Pen (don't care for it).

[@reboot7507]

Got this tablet and it's amazing for the price. But how to move apps to SD card. There is no option. Please note tablet has one ui core which is stripped down version of one ui.

[@SigmaJAD]

I bought it and to be honest, for what these things are mostly used for, its totally adequate. Would've maybe wanted an amoled screen but again, does the job. I think we're witnessing a shift where value is more important than specs and horsepower. Most people don't really need the capability of the hardware they're paying for, especially if they don't play games.

Nice review, though am still waiting for your teclast p20hd, m40, m18 review.

Thank you for a detailed and unbiased review! The new A7 is a great value indeed. However I'll still wait for Lenovo's P11 Pro that has quad LBL speakers AND the 3.5" headphone jack. Yes it will be more expensive-but I do want to use my quality in-ear headphones without any adapters when at home.

[@rajmahanta5737]

A7 has an headphone jack, lmao.

[@100krakens2]

@@rajmahanta5737 I know that mate. The issue is that there is NO headphone jack on either S7 or 7+.
