Samsung has announced two new tablets in the Galaxy Tab series: the Tab S7 FE and the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. They will serve the mid-market segment, and will compete directly with the iPad and iPad Air models or the MatePad variants from Huawei. The tablets come with Android 11, high-resolution screens and competitive hardware configurations.

Galaxy Tab S7 FE is a productivity tablet with a large screen

Galaxy Tab S7 FE is an alternative to last year's Galaxy Tab S7. This tablet has a similar design and a large screen, but some adjustments have been made in terms of performance. The 12.4 ”LCD screen offers a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, 16:10 format, being obviously made for productivity. The 5-megapixel front-facing camera is positioned centrally for landscape use, while the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera can be used for quick photos or document scanning.

The new mid-range tablet benefits from a 2.2 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 750 chipset, 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage. Of course, there is also a microSD slot for expanding the internal space by up to 1 TB extra. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE is only 6.3mm thick and weighs 608 grams. Inside there is a battery of generous dimensions, with a capacity of 10,090 mAh, with fast charging at 45W. Samsung will offer Wi-Fi, 4G and 5G variants for this model.

Samsung offers the Galaxy Tab A7 for those who need an affordable tablet

The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite seems to be more of an entry point into Samsung's tablet family. It benefits from an 8.7 ”screen with a resolution of 1,340 x 800 pixels. The front camera is only 2 megapixels and the rear 8 megapixels. Being a compact tablet with a lower resolution, the 5,100 mAh battery should be enough for a full day of use. The processor used by Samsung on this model is a MediaTek MT8768, which benefits from 3 + 32 or 4 + 64 GB configurations. Being a budget model, Galaxy Tab A7 Lite will not receive a model with 5G, but will benefit from Wi-Fi and 4G.

The company has not yet announced official prices for the Romanian market, but they will be available starting in June.
