We purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review it. Read on for our full product review.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is one of the best Android introductions to the tablet market. Before its release, the non-Apple tablet market was struggling with an identity crisis: software issues, lack of developer adoption, and somewhat lackluster hardware.

The Galaxy Tab S7 (and its larger counterpart, the S7+) finally seem to have solved the Android tablet problem, offering a genuine premium competitor to the iPad Pro in terms of hardware, and offering a few software tricks that might just make it a viable laptop replacement. I picked up the base unit in Mystic Silver, along with the Samsung-designed keyboard cover, to see just how good this premium tablet is.

One of the biggest hurdles for the premium tablet market to overcome is making your device look and feel as premium as, say, an iPad Pro. The Galaxy Tab S7 is extremely well designed, with an all-aluminum unibody design with a large, glossy glass display and very small bezels on the front. There’s no front button here, a volume rocker on the side, and a sleep/wake button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor.
