Android tablets tend to lag far behind Apple’s iPad line. But if there is an OEM that manages to be competitive, it is Samsung. The company produced the fantastic Galaxy Tab S7 last year, and a new rumor suggests that we are about to see a more affordable version launch.
Twitter account WalkingCat posted what appears to be marketing material for the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite. There isn’t much information to go along with the image, but we do learn some important parts. Namely, the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite will feature a 12.4-inch screen and 5G connectivity. The device will also reportedly support Samsung’s Galaxy Continuity feature, which enables users to receive phone calls and messages from a compatible Galaxy phone.

When the Galaxy Tab S7 launched last year, we had nothing but praise for the tablet. In fact, XDA’s Nirave Gondhia thought the device was so good that he sold his iPad Pro. Very few tablets can match the high quality of Apple’s iPad lineup, so choosing the Tab S7 over an iPad Pro is high praise.
The supposed Tab S7 Lite is unlikely to be as powerful as the Tab S7. We can probably expect diluted specs and differences in build quality. But it should be more affordable in price, and you get the larger 12.4-inch screen to match the one on the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus. That device also had a 10,090 mAh battery and up to 8GB of RAM.
The Galaxy Tab S7 launched for $ 649. We’re not sure how much the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite will cost when it launches, but hopefully it will be in the $ 499 range (or even cheaper). According to the image shared by WalkingCat, the new tablet will be available in June this year, alongside the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, which is said to feature an 8.7-inch screen and a slim metal design.
