Available in Mystic Black and Mystic Silver colors, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is priced at P47,990 (around $978 converted).

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7 Plus are flagship-grade tablets with a SIM slot for offering data connectivity on the go over LTE networks. Curiously, they’re powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, not the Exynos 990 that the Galaxy Note 20 ships with in most markets including the Philippines.

The Korean electronics maker has also thrown in large screens as well as an S Pen stylus that can be attached magnetically to the rear and is said to be better than ever, especially when jotting down notes via the all-new Samsung Notes app. It pulls double duty as a pointer and has a latency of 9 milliseconds, just like the one for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

The latest Tab series brings better compatibility across Samsung’s Android 10-based One UI 2.5 overlay and Microsoft Windows 10 to enhance your productivity. It supports wireless DeX connections to external monitors as well, allowing you to experience a PC-like interface on a tablet without having to connect a dongle.

As for the specs, the most notable difference between the two is the screen. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 carries an 11-inch LTPS TFT display with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, while the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus variant uses a larger 12.4-inch, 2,800 x 1,752 Super AMOLED panel. But even though the tablets differ in display technology, both come with the same fast 120Hz refresh rate to match the fluidity of Apple’s higher-end iPads.
