The ‘Fan Edition’ label may get attached to a new product line at Samsung – the tablet that has been leaking under the name “Galaxy Tab S7 Lite” might actually be called the “Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE”. The name comes from a Google Play Console listing.
It will have the same 10,090 mAh battery
(EB-BT975ABY) as the premium Tab S7+ with the same 44W fast charging. Like the
S7+, the Fan Edition slate is expected to ship with only a 15W charger. The
retail package should include an S Pen, however, which can magnetically snap
onto the back of the tablet for easy carrying.
The main difference between the Galaxy Tab
S7 FE and its fancier siblings will be the screen and chipset. The FE will
feature a 12.4” LCD (2,560 x 1,600 px) rather than an AMOLED panel, there’s no
word about the refresh rate yet.
And it will be powered by the Snapdragon
750G instead of an S865, the RAM will have a lower capacity too (the slate that
was spotted at Geekbench had 4 GB, but we’ve heard rumors of a 6 GB model as
well). The tablet will have a 5G version, a Wi-Fi only version and perhaps an
LTE one as well to match the premium S7 tablets, though that last one is less
certain. Other features, which can be seen in the many leaked renders, include
stereo speakers and a dual camera on the rear (8+5 MP).
The Galaxy Tab S7 FE announcement should
be closing in, but there's no date set for it yet. As for price, it should be
lower than the € 700 Tab S7, but we don't know by how much.
