Latest Galaxy Tab S7 5G leak lists show LCD screen, slower chipset, more


Samsung has seven devices spread across five product categories in the unpacked product portfolio. the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, which are one of the highlights, were fully detailed yesterday.

Thanks to Ishan Agarwal in association with PriceBaba, today is the turn of the high-end Galaxy Tab S7 tablet.

Samsung has chosen LCD over Super AMOLED

Unveiling alongside the 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S7 +, a leaked marketing image of the smaller Galaxy Tab S7 shows that it will be virtually identical to its older brother in terms of design and exactly what you would expect from a modern flagship Samsung has chosen. A more compact 11-inch screen that features 2560 x 1080p resolution and supports a super smooth 120Hz refresh rate. But like the iPad Pro series, and unlike the Galaxy Tab S7 +, Agarwal says the panel is LCD instead of Super AMOLED.

It is still accompanied by uniform bezels that can be considered quite slim by tablet standards. But to keep costs low, Samsung has outfitted the device with a side-mount fingerprint scanner instead of an on-screen solution like the one used on the larger tablet.

To encourage horizontal use of the Galaxy Tab S7 due to its larger size, the front camera has been moved to the side bezel. It has a resolution of 8 megapixels and must guarantee an impressive video call quality.

They round out the Android 10 front-facing experience and custom One UI 2.5 overlay, though an Android 11 update is expected once it’s available.

For those of you interested in the exact dimensions, the Galaxy Tab S7 lands at 165.3 x 253.8 x 6.3mm and weighs 498g. The 11-inch iPad Pro, for reference, measures 178.5 x 247.6 x 5.9mm and weighs 471g, while the Galaxy Tab S6’s 10.5-inch numbers are 159.5 x 244.5 x 5.7mm and 420g.

The Snapdragon 865 instead of the Snapdragon 865+

Rotating the Galaxy Tab S7 reveals an aluminum construction paired with a vertical camera module, which reportedly houses a 13-megapixel main sensor and an elongated dimple designed to store the S Pen stylus magnetically.

Nothing is known about the S Pen’s specs yet, but Samsung is creating a more advanced pen for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra that’s on par with the second-generation Apple Pencil. So it would make sense for that technology to carry over to the Galaxy Tab S7 series.

Sitting inside the 11-inch tablet appears to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset rather than the slightly faster Snapdragon 865+ that Samsung is said to be using within the larger model.

Must be combined with a minimum of 128 GB of internal storage. RAM count is not available at this stage, but microSD card support has been listed, allowing storage to be expanded up to 1TB.

Other features include an AKG-tuned four-speaker setup that supports Dolby Atmos and an 8,000 mAh battery with some sort of fast charge support.
