Exclusive: 11-inch Galaxy Tab S7 will miss out on this fancy feature

-

For the first time in many years, Samsung is launching a new flagship tablet with different display sizes. The Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+, expected to launch next month alongside the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Z Fold 2, will feature 11-inch and 12.4-inch displays respectively. Samsung is clearly aiming for the market dominated by the iPad Pro with its upcoming tablet lineup, and as we have seen with Samsung's flagship phones, the regular Tab S7's spec sheet will be more humble compared to the Plus variant's spec sheet (which we revealed exclusively last week).

And, thanks to our usually reliable sources, we have learned that one feature the regular Galaxy Tab S7 will miss out on is an in-display fingerprint reader. Similar to the Galaxy Tab S5e, the Tab S7 will have its fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button. Whether or not that's a good thing will depend entirely on an individual's perspective. We feel physical fingerprint sensors are the best, especially when they're placed on the side of a device instead of the back. They are not as fancy as in-display solutions, but their speed and accuracy remain unmatched.

As far as the Galaxy Tab S7+ is concerned, we still don't know if it will sport an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor like Samsung's flagship phones or an optical sensor. Not that it matters much – both the ultrasonic and optical sensors Samsung is using in its devices today are on a mostly equal footing when it comes to their performance, so the user experience won't really be affected either way.

What can we expect from the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+?

The difference in fingerprint technology aside, the Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ will both be true flagship tablets. Both models will be powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 865+ processor, support the S Pen, and come with an official keyboard accessory. The Tab S7+ will be powered by a massive 10,090 mAh battery and the Tab S7 should have a battery capacity somewhere in the 7,700-7,800 mAh ballpark, along with up to 45W super fast charging.

5G connectivity is also going to be part of the package. Other features we have come to take for granted on Samsung's flagship tablets, such as beautiful AMOLED screens and quad AKG-tuned speakers, are to be expected as well. On the flip side, water resistance continues to be a feature Samsung refuses to bring to its flagship tablets, which is a missed opportunity in the opinion of some of us here at SamMobile.

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster. And because add-ons work the same across web and Android, you only need to install them once to access them on all of your devices. Click the settings wheel on the top right of your inbox and then "Get add-ons" to get started. We made Gmail Add-ons available in developer p

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

-
Image
DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
