Samsung Tab S7 FE 12.4" T738U Mystic Black 2021
62 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE receives mixed feedback. Many buyers praise its value for money, good resolution, and suitability for tasks like editing drone videos or running sheet music apps, especially when bought refurbished. However, several verified purchasers report serious issues: some units are carrier-locked (Verizon) or blacklisted, and one arrived defective. A common tip is to disable "Ram Plus" to avoid buffering during streaming.
