The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 should be here soon – here’s all we’ve heard about it, plus what we want to see in the tablet.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is expected to be released by the end of 2020, giving Samsung another shot at toppling Apple’s reign as the most popular tablet manufacturer with its iPad Pro devices.
Succeeding the Galaxy Tab S6 from 2019, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 will be Samsung’s top-end tablet for 2020, sitting above the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and any Galaxy Tab A devices launched over the year. We’ve heard it could come with a Galaxy Tab S7 Plus, too, though it’s not clear how different this could be.
It’s worth pointing out that some rumors suggest the tablet will be called the Galaxy Tab S20 instead, which would bring the slate in line with the Samsung Galaxy S20 phone nomenclature, but this is contested, and we haven’t heard it for a while.
Apple’s premium slates, most recently the iPad Pro 2020, are typically considered the best tablets available right now, and give the tech giant a solid reign at the top end of the tablet market. But the Galaxy Tab S7 could give Samsung another shot at gaining the lead.
We’ve heard a few leaks regarding the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 now, which we’ve listed below, but we still don’t know much about what could be coming. In the meantime, we’ve also come up with a wish-list of features we’d like to see in the new device.
Latest news: All the specs for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus just got laid bare, from its screen resolution and processor to camera resolution and battery size. Samsung won’t have much left to reveal!
We’ve heard the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is likely to be launched in August 2020, alongside or just before the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 launch.
The number of leaks we’re seeing at the moment suggest a launch can’t be far off, and it’s possible that we’ll see the Galaxy Tab S7 at the next big Samsung hardware launch. We’ve heard rumors that it’s slated for August 5, but that’s yet to be confirmed.
In terms of price, we haven’t heard anything so far, but we can make guesses. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 cost $649 / £619 / AU$1,099 and $729 / £689 / AU$1,299 for its lowest storage option, in WiFi-only and with LTE connectivity, respectively. The Tab S7 almost certainly won’t be any cheaper than that.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is slated to have 5G connectivity, as well as a bigger display to the Tab S6, and that’s just the rumors we’ve heard about — it seems the newer slate could have plenty of new features which bump up the price quite a bit, so we’d expect to see it retail for much more than the Tab S6.
One of the biggest Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 leaks so far (literally) is that the slate could be bigger than the Tab S6, and will also come in multiple sizes. Apparently, you’ll be able to pick up the tablet in 11 or 12.
