The most impressive thing about this CZcamsr is that he really bothers putting on time stamps for his review. That shows he cares about the viewers who don't have the time to watch the full video and how committed he is in providing convenient watching experience.
Kudos!!!

And also not like some who show their faces all the time, and talk about tablets
Yes!💚
thats not why people put time stamps mind you.
Agree, super helpful. Thanks!!
What an amazing device I have never seen such a sleek and effortless samsung tablet before
Got this for $47 when I pre-ordered my watch 4. Looks pretty nice for the price. My nephew will enjoy it.
Just bought this and been using for a couple of days now and it’s fab. I only tend to browse CZcams and listen to Spotify on my Bluetooth speaker and it works great, love it.
So happy I saw your video. I'm going to buy one. Luckily Costco's 6-22-22 thru 7-24-22 coupon savings book ... has it on sale for $50 off, making it only $119.99. Great timing! Thanks again Shane for your EXCELLENT and VERY informative video review. :-)
Just got mine delivered today and I must say, pretty impressive. It is on slower side but I don't mind it since its not my main device (I.e my cellphone). Its great for content consumption and other tasks.
Shane this was very helpful -
I wish everybody had your delivery - it was informative -
Detailed, and concise -exactly what I was looking for -
The instructions didn't even have procedure for set up - wasn't sure if there was a sequence for the SIM card and SD.... It doesn't even say how long it takes to charge
Thank you for the info -you did a great job.... Definitely gave it
a thumbs up 👍🏼 and have already subscribed - thank you have a great day 😊
And I’m definitely getting my brand new Samsung A7 lite tablet of course from at&t ,thank u for this wonderful project video u gave to me alright mr. Shane,cool dude!!
Think this gonna be a great choice for me who's only gonna load it up with shows and movies. The formfactor is just spot on what I'm looking for. Thanks for the vid!
Can u teach me how to do that
Wow great to see this review, I hope we can see S tab 7 fe in the next video
I agree with the mini name!!
Great job as always! 👍
Shane please do more videos "x days later" of the Galaxy A02s and Galaxy A32 like you used to do ♥️♥️♥️ i just love your videos bro !
this form factor reminds me of my old Xperia Z Ultra back in the day..brings back memories
Exactly, I had that Xperia ultra and it was a fantastic phablet.
This was a positive review at first but after 6 months of mild use. The tablet became extremely slow even with only one app, reset did not work, so I had to sell it and bought a Samsung Galaxy S10+ Phone to replace it. That's the end of the update.
@@Unknowner291 CZcams works great, the resolution is HD+ so, it won't be full HD but it still looks great... For netflix the resolution is not the best.
I don't have carry my phone at home after I purchased A7 lite. What's the reason why buy it. Thanks for your sharing .
@@kingx478 Does it come with a pen?
Hi has this tablet got a headphone jack.
@@jacquelinehunt7794 Yes, it has a headphone Jack!
Perfect size for what I need. It will replace my very old 8" Tab A :) I wish we have more 8-9" tablets on the market
This is the review I was waiting for! I was considering buying the tab a7 lite on Saturday but I thought I would wait for your review and now I can't wait for Saturday
I've never had an issue with this tablet. I just got it a few days ago and I'm loving it. It's so nice and fast to me. I use developer mode and made it much faster. 😊😁
Oooooooooh
Good to see you again
BTW there's a galaxy tab s7 fe
Any plans for that one?
Thx dude, I was looking for a tab and you helped me pick one
Nice concise review. Touches on all of the main points. Good job
Thank you so much! i'm planning on buying this to draw on and your video helped me to understand the length and width of it! I was worried it'll be too small but looking and measuring and comparing it to a hand was good! Thanks again :)
Astonishing video Shane! Great Job!
Thanks Sunhay!
@@ShaneSymonds dex or even dual mode multi window?
Thanks for info man ! Thinking of buying it for Black friday 👌
Great video and commentary, and my ears really likes your voice. I decided to buy one. Thanks!
We always buy 8" inch / 11" inch tablets together
We want the mini tab for certain jobs, large tab for certain jobs
Thank you for Outstanding Review
We totally love 8" inch tablets, superb video👍
🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐒
Nice review. I had won this on a raffle and was afraid it will be like the tablet that came with our landline phone, painfully slow. It's nice to see it's not that slow.
Just got this thing today and I’m pretty proud about it, and on top of that it matches with my grey iPhone 6.
Just got this for my 6yr old daughter. Prob should have seen reviews prior. But this is a great review and I'm happy about the purchase.
Budget tablets have really come a long way! Great video Shane
WONT LAST EVEN TWO YEARS on that shitty processor. Display is horrendous and insulting to the buyer. It's 2021...and still companies can't take a small loss in order to provide quality specs at a cheaper price for the average buyer!
Samsung's budget tablets have always been shitty. Going back to the Tab A series. It simply can't handle even basic processing of apps over a long period of time. So, what's the point then?! Spend 160 dollars and get another shitty "budget" tablet after two years??
@@happyhuman247 2 years later. samsung will launch another budget tablet. just buy the new one brother
@@happyhuman247 this is the reason why I love the iPad! I would spend a little bit more and you get what you pay for!
@@happyhuman247 Depends what you want it for. I use it for Amazon Music HD. It can send LDAC (loseless High Def Audio) to a receiver. Seperate from my phone, I don't want people playing with my phone to use the HiFi.
This is a nice, comprehensive review. I was confused about the A7 Lite vs. A7. Thanks for clearing that up & your overall perspective!
I have tab a7 and it's really nice ♡ looks premium, it can be slow so if you hate that it's not for you, audio is superb!
I bought it for Christmas in 2021. It was very cheap 99 euros and I'm still satisfied with it. Perfect TAB for what I use it for
Bought this for my 5 year old son as a means for him to not get bored during road trips and honestly it works well. Have no problems using apps like Disney+, CZcams kids, and games. Good experience and great price especially since kids can be real destroyers when it comes to tech
I bet he probably cracked the screen by now. I also have it btw.
Yep I cracked 14 tablets between the age of 3 and 6 so I was the best friend of godzilla
Got one to replace my very old S2, which was top of the line at the time. Have been pleasantly surprised at the performance. Works great. Also, was concerned about the lower resolution before buying, but that that is not a problem at all. When I went to Best Buy, it was not out for display, but the sales associate returned with it when asked if it were in stock.
Hi I have lan s2 been using it for yrs, do you like this more? Does it have dex?
@@iamuiamu4569 Just needed to replace the S2 because over the many years, the battery life was much too short, and the start up took too long. It was also prone to sudden battery drainage. Also was unable to update some apps because the system updates stopped. Have never used dex mode. Also, the speakers are excellent on this new tablet. The tabley is just an incredible value.
@@IRONBOOMER47 ty👍👍
Also thought the HD resolution would bother me but even for reading PDFs it’s fine. Turns out the bigger size of letters compensate for that.
Same time u wouldn't happen to leave your car u will have too many things in hand so remember to guys case and USB c cable cord
Your video is making me decide to get one. Thanks!
Wanted a tablet for a while, you've convinced me. Just ordered one
I have an older Samsung A 8.0 with s pen . It’s the perfect size . I really wish Samsung would release a higher spec version of this A7 .
@Shane Symons
This is very informative and helpful. Thank you.
One slight quibble: to me, there is a meaningful difference between "cheap" and "inexpensive."
Cheap is shoddy and not having good value, but inexpensive carries a meaning of not costing a lot, and the purchase has good value for the money spent.
From what you had to say, the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite seems better described as inexpensive -- a very good thing.
Of course, I'm an olde phart and tend to be peculiar .... uh, particular with words. 😄
Well done video!! Thank you explaining everything in a Simple and easy to understand way. I am considering switching Back to this from a Amazon fire 8 inch.
Good review of the Tab A7 Lite, just ordered mine on Verizon and picking up same day =)
I just purchased it! I love it.its just that its heavier than my Tab A.but i love the resolution and the bigger screen🙂
Is this with single or dual sim card
Extremely great review! Wanna see a comparison review of this vs the ipad mini and the galaxy tab a 8.0 2019
Excellent video and production. I am super impressed with your camera. What camera are you using?
Good review. Thank you
I bought one today . Just now
Hey Shane nice video I do have the bigger boy the A7 I do agree with everything you said. But it's 720p not like the bigger boy 1080p but do you think it's worth 210 that's what Best Buy is selling it for and Canada computers is selling it for 227 what do you think. Great Job 👍 on the video.
After seeing alot of reviews of this unit tearing it a new one, it is nice to see someone reviewing it for what it is; a cheap every day tablet that does everything adequately.
I just bought mine today & I love it.!
Very Detailed Review 🤩. Thanks !
i see a lot of people complain about the specs of this tab but i use samsung for 3 years i have never had a problem and always get updates every year so you don't pay for the specs but for the long term
I have this
4 years of software support. which is ok. but apple give out 5-6 years of updates. you get what you pay for i guess
@@luke4800 no only 2 years android update
4 years security patches
Hey ! I'm planning to buy this for note taking for my studies , so is it good for it ? Does stylus pen work ? Can we write with stylus on samsung notes app ?
@@Editor_unnie can you help me with my question 🙂
I appreciate the A7 "Mini", but would love to see a S7 "mini" as well. I would easily pay an extra $100 on top of the $200 A7 Lite version to get 6gb of RAM, 128GB of storage, a better processor, and an OLED screen in an under 9" form factor.
My thoughts exactly
Me either! A Moleskine sized Galaxy Tab Mini with sAMOLED and an S pen with at least 6/128 GB could be so cool and I told it to Samsung.
Same. I want a 7"/8" tablet.
@@veselinbenev Moleskine makes notebooks in 10+ different sizes.
@@ShaneSymonds Question how good does it play Raid Shadow legends??? Is it slow or normal, because on my phone the game runs slow....
Just got mine today, excited to unbox! Had to find something to replace my Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus...which the manufacturers greenlit knowing the device cannot stay connected to WiFi after a software update. All my Samsung products (Buds, Note 4, A71, A13) in our family have been excellent so I'm confident this will be good too. I'm comfortable considering it a trusted brand, something I never say for a foreign brand unless it's Japanese.
Edit: Bought it for $209 CDN (pre-tax) and it went on sale this week for $159 CDN (pre-tax) so I was able to return it unopened, buy again and save the difference!
Did I just see udisc on your app list. Earned a sub right there 😂
Precise and to the point review! How is this tab for reading ebooks and pdfs?
I think it would be great as an E-Reader 🙂
I've been using 8-inch tablets for a few years because I like the size and this new 8.7 inch tablet is actually about the same size as my current Alldocube 8.0 incher so I'm interested
I have it and I'm using it right now and it's great. 👍
@@KsCreamPies can u use an sd card to transfer apps?
@@devilscreed3561 I don't think so. You can't store apps on a SD card I know that for sure.
@@KsCreamPies apparantly you can now with android 11. you can set sd cards as internal storage now O.O
@@devilscreed3561 nice... that'll be useful.
thank you for detailed review! i'm planning to buy this for myself and i'll surely buy it after watching this video! thanks again.
Nice review, Just orderd this tablet to replace my old iPad mini 2. Looking forward to it.
Not related to the content, but I just realised that you look a lot like Michael Schofield from Prison Break series, the resemblance is simply uncanny haha. Now I miss the show already :(
So far these review is legit. I seen a lot of youtubers who review this product & they just keep giving good review & tries to influence everyone to buy these product not mentioning the pros & cons of buying it. indeed I wont recommend these tablet on Gamers like me due to its delay.
Good review! Do you know if this A7 Lite is better than the Tab A 8.4" 2020 as far as speed?
Just subbed, thanks for the info!
The A7 Lite isn't just named that because it's smaller; you left out a few important differences: A7 has a stronger processor and a much higher screen resolution than the Lite version.
He said it
It's kinda common sense so.....😂
If only it had a Snapdragon, it would have been an instant buy for me because I love the form factor. All those 10+ inch tablets are not for me. 8 inch tablets feel good to hold with one hand. Also considering I was able to get the regular A7 for just $150 this should sell for cheaper once sales start to hit.
Put in pocket. So mediatek not snapdragon 400 can it multiwindow?
U should rewatch one piece
It's 99$ now at Best buy I got it today
I just bought this A7 lite about 3 hrs. ago and it's almost done charging had 60 percent when I unboxed it. The charging block says 5 w output, that's why it's charging slowly I guess.. I'll let you know how it worked out in a week or so I'm using it for movies and videos mainly so everything you covered was exactly what I wanted to hear and your correct about the size it's perfect. Thank you for your time and work making this video. Talk to you soon....
Great review. I purchased one today, but only will use it after getting a solid case and perhaps a screen protector. Keep up the reviews. Just subscribed to your channel.
I use a Galaxy Tab A 8.1. I love the smaller size. It's easier to handle and easier to pack into my "smallish" messenger bag, when I use it working away from home. My only dislikes it with are the the occasional slow response time of the screen and I wish the speaker had a bit more volume. I also wish it had a fingerprint sensor on the back. Otherwise, it's a workhorse!
I'm a remote contractor and use it often for work project when I'm working away from home, or need to just get away from my desk for a while and work somewhere more comfortable. It got the July 2021 update to Android 11 and I'm just way impressed! The Tab A7 would be an excellent upgrade but I'll wait until I've got a good bit more mileage out of my Tab A.
Add a speaker booster app💥
@@mr1982freeze I snagged me some earbuds, lol. Still, will add a sound boost app, too. Thx for the tip!
@@angeliaphillips cool,glad to help...lol I add the apps to my phone& tablets for extra boost..really loud also..
Man this guy got one of the best reviews and I am waiting for tab S7 FE review 💙
@Harrison Carter There is a new Tab s7 fe by Samsung.
@Harrison Carter the FE it's lite version of s7 or s7+
Great 👍 reviews.
Thank you Shane & good 👍 luck to u.
hii really appreciate your review! can we use SPen for this?
I just ordered this tonight. I was gonna get the 32gb but decided for $10 more get the 64gb.. Plus I like that it's an Android 11. Camera I'm not concerned about my phone got a great camera. usually anytime buying a new phone or tablet go for bigger. My last tablet was 10 inch which was nice but heavy. I'm picking this up tomorrow. Hopefully my order will be ready lol.. I'm excited to try it out. I mainly use a tablet for light gaming. Social media. I take it when I travel so I can watch movies on the plane. My last tablet lasted 3 years still works just out dated. It's a Lenovo. I'm hoping this one last for few years too. Thanks for the video it helped me decide. I watched some other ones & they weren't too helpful.
Did you receive it?
This tablet is very good I'm using it by 6 months now and never complained... I wanted not small size not big that I can hold and use by one hand with big screen is exactly what I needed... the screen 8.7 seems big good for reading or videos and it's portable it's light .. no problem with games... sound is great ... do all the job ... only missing spen and flash ...
I recommend it highly 👌
Does that Tab has a smart view?
I purchased same.... But not able to use whatsapp on phone n tab at d same time.
Infact I couldn't install whatsapp here on tab. Can u pls let me know....
Thank u in advance
@@denicomar580 no
@@prakruthi6423 yes this is whatsup problem not tablet problem, we can only use whatsup in one android device
can you run game booster from game launcher and game plugins?
I've got one arriving tomorrow to use for collage and other general uses
This review is just superior. Nice content.
I'm literally just looking for a tablet for reading pdfs and hopping on youtube or netflix occasionally and this looks like a pretty good fit. I do use a custom launcher on my phone that I'd like to carry over to the tablet, so as long as it's as fast as my s8 galaxy I don't think there'd be any issue speed wise for me.
it wont be as "fast" as your S8, but gets the job done if you are patient with it. I am using its predecessor, Tab A 2019 10.1 which has a mere 2 gigs of RAM, but gets the job done along with very useful features like multi window mode, quick access tray and the likes. OneUI is a big step up from the horrendous TouchWiz
@@vishnumenon6541 yeah I've definitely noticed it's a lot chuggier than my s8. But if you're doing just one thing at a time it works fine, which is primarily what I'm doing with it. Finally can read the service manual for my car while I'm fixing stuff on it.
It isn't as fast as your galaxy s8 that had sd 835 still respectable
@@antrixsharma3476 oh yeah it's sluggish as hell compared to my s8 lol
ANISJ9L
Just got it. I have had a day with it. I had a Galaxy Tab A 8.0 from 2015. Yes everything after that will be amazing. What I appreciate is the similar screen size and it isn't a speed demon. I bought this tablet for an on-the-go experience. I WISH I could put my sim card in it, but for what it does, it was more than worth the upgrade. If you want a simple tablet to do simple things and not take as long as your old tablet that did simple things. It is worth the upgrade.
Is it good for readers ?
@@nayushidooleea7518 It is
Saw that old school runescape app straight away, what a good man.
Awesome review.. I love the fact it has dual speakers big thing for me. I do tons of CZcams and casual gaming.. use it for some docs here and there.. photo editing. I’m just afraid it will get slow as time passes.
how bright is the screen? I'm thinking of mounting it in my car, will it be visible with sunlight?
Thanks for detailed and honest review, I wanted to buy my friend for study. I was confusing as its cheaper so it will work or not, but after watching your video, I am going to order it.
I agree that it's name shouldn't be " Lite" it sounds like it's a basic version or not a complete device. It should be named A7 Mini (as you said) or we see in iPad series
" Update after 1 month "
I already bought, its working well. It will not disappoint you, but also don't expect alot. Its still basic but good for study purposes
And he back again at it ....YES❤❤❤
this vid is very helpful. Thanks, I'll get one soon.
I love the Galaxy tad A7 lite in fact I got it for Christmas 2021 and it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be it definitely outshines my 2015 Galaxy Tab A that I was using before it also outshines a lot of the affordable tablets other companies that are out there I use this tablet everyday to play CSR 2 Angry Birds Friends and demolition derby 3 it also works pretty good on video editing when I'm editing some my videos all around the best tablet I have owned so far
Hello friend does that Tab has a smart view?
@@denicomar580 sadly it does not have Smart View but it does have Samsung flow.
Although I did just search it up and apparently they're no longer serving Samsung Smart View back during 2020 October 5th there are quite a bit of third-party apps but it depends on if they're any good
@@denicomar580 rty%ÿ
I bought the Samsung GalaxyA7 Lite LTE. Being able to insert a sim card when there is no WiFi is a must for my use. I also use it when flying my drones, works like a charm.
Thanks for this. Do you have any plans on reviewing Samsung galaxy tab s7 or s7+? I'd like to hear verdict too.
Great review its big help thank you 😊
Just got one thru metro PCs with service .. Was pretty cheap 50$ , 25 activation , 15 for service .. Not needing wifi is nice and it is compatible with Google stadia .. Was really excited to move from my phone for gaming , then my son wanted it .. So maybe I'll get another one lol 🙄 Nice Review 👍✌️
Shane! I saw old school runescape on the tablet. How does it run ? And lagging and can you play it on unlimited fps in the new settings in osrs mobile client ?
Yeah It ain't lag
409 fps average
I’m thinking about getting one for pokemmo since I can run it on my iPad lol
Good job homie. Love your reviews. Keep it up
Thanks Kyrin!
I just bought it a few days ago, for travel etc. where I don’t want to bring my huge iPad Pro. I’m positively surprised, it does a perfectly fine job for watching youtube, streaming music and some basic apps. The size and weight are perfect for travel. Of course, it won’t replace the iPad Pro for daily use at home, but for the price and purpose it’s great.
This one is perfect if you wanna just get rid of your phone for a sec and relax instead of always using your smartphone, with it being larger. Watching netflix etc on there is great.
Is it able to play Netflix videos in HD?
@@leen1q84 yes
That Looks Like A Solid Tablet On A Budget. I Love It. 😍
Agreed!
@@ShaneSymonds Yeah. 😎
budgetitzed budget tab lmaooo
@@ShaneSymonds hi I'm planning to buy this tab just to watch videos online especially CZcams. So what is the highest video resolution it can play? 1080p 60fps? 1440p?
Great video. Is the glass scratch resistant?
Thank you for the video . I will get one tomorrow .
I wanted to get a tablet purely to use for afking Osrs on the coach/in bed, and then your review mentions Osrs! Wondering if you've actually played Osrs on this tablet and what your actual thoughts were for this specific app? Thank you in advance :)
Id suggest u go for Mi pad 5 rather this one.
SORRY 😞 😔 😟 🙁 😥 😿 😞
Honestly i wish rs mobile came out during peak era when it was most popular.. LOL
@@GrilledChickenRamyun why is that? Im debating between them
Samsung should release a same size tablet with Sd750g and a 1080p oled display for a slightly higher price it would sell like crazy.
Nice video as usual btw.
That’s exactly how I’m feeling after reviewing this!
@@ShaneSymonds If you know someone at samsung give them this as feedback
I got this device and the a52 5g so this device is sort of my backup device for email/CZcams videos...
Udisc? Showing Jomez? Instant upvote my dude. Rock on.
Great review.thanks you so much for that
It seems like an IPad Pro from 2018 but instead of a apple iPad it’s a Samsung Tab great vid Shane
Keep it up
I am still using the Huawei MediaPad M5 8" and waiting for a tablet to come out and replace it.
So far, there has literally been none.
The A7 Lite is a great device but cannot replace it either. For that there would need to be a premium variant (a S7 Lite/Mini of sorts) with better specs.
Tab s7 FE
The whole point is a smaller tablet around 8" - the Tab S7 FE is huuuge...
Shane thank you for the in-depth unboxing of this I love it. What operating system
I just checked and it is already sold out on samsung online shop in Malaysia. This is definitely a budget tab for many.
