After recently reviewing the Samsung Tab A7, I was intrigued with Samsung announce the smaller Tab A7 Lite a few weeks ago.
I decided to pick one up and review it for a couple weeks to see how it stacks up to the Tab A7 and if I think it is worth the recommendation.
Overall, The Tab A7 Lite is a solid budget tablet in 2021 but there is one big issue I hope they get fixed and fast!

Would you still buy this tablet with the Widevine issue?
Hell no.. I get better resolution on my 1995 DVD player
Netflix is not my go to. I Just bought one.
I didn't know about this issue before I bought one yesterday for my mum but it won't really bother her much because she watches Netflix on her TV. She'll solely be using this for web browsing and Candy Crush.
@@exitfoundoutside7974 does the Netflix issue persist if you just download the show or movie to watch offline? Or is it only a problem for streaming
Have al the tabs a7 lite this or just the version of 2020? And what with the lte version of 2021?
The video is old, now is classified as widevine L1 no need to worry anymore 💞
The 8.7" form factor is very underrated. I feel like not enough people appreciate the size where it feels comfortable in your hand while still giving you a good viewing experience; that and the
Yep i love tablets this size and i don't understand why we don't have more high end tablets in this size.
Honestly, if this table had a 1080p screen, even at a higher price point, it would be perfect. I also have an original Tab A which is dying (my own fault) and I would love to replace it with this, but the reading experience on this tablet is not as good, due to having a pretty low dpi screen.
I just bought this, but you're absolutely right. I would have shelled out twice as much for a more powerful 8 incher, but there's just nothing else on the market unless you want to buy an ipad.
@@mattysin blame amazon Fire Tabs
can we all just take a second to appreciate how he put timestamps on the vid
But not the one big issue
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷. I bought my one this week. I've loved it so much.
Hi, did yours have backlight bleeds? (Little lights at the side of the screen when view a dark image, especially at night)
Mine is had that since day one, which is a bit frustrating
My main tablet is the tab s7 plus but I picked up this as a compact portable device for work and outdoors. I think the display is absolutely fine and the speakers sound really good. As long as you don't expect it to perform like a high end tablet it's well worth its price tag
Agreed!
That's good to know. I have a S7 Plus as well and I purchased this for my mum.
@@exitfoundoutside7974 good idea, I got my mother one to for her birthday a few weeks ago. Nice and easy to use she loves it
@@johngardner869 Good man 👍
The thing is , it actually does perform like a high end end tablet in almost every way. It's Samsung, It's Galaxy, it's Android . Unless your your a 40 year old fan boy of Apple ? your no longer relevant in many ways. Don't really want to bust you , but check this unit out. Better.
This was a really good video! thank you for making such a nice review
Glad it was helpful!
thank you so much, i have been pondering on the tablet for a while now, and now i know that, being 11 years old, this is the perfect table for me.
its great I had mine over week now i love it so far
Nice one! Thanks for sharing your review! 👍
Good information. Just purchased from Best Buy (64GB) for $129. As a senior citizen should be enough for me (no gaming or movies!)
Great recension great work. Thank you 👌
Just bought one to use for my mcdu in flight Sim. Love it!!!!
Fyi, the widevine L3 issue on Netflix has been fixed, and now presents widevine L1 allowing you to stream HD content.
I just purchased the A7 lite today, and when I took it home and logged into netflix it came up as widevine l3. I thought upon installation it would have updated the A7 lite to the latest firmware but it hadn't. I done that but it still came up as L3. I went into Settings > Apps > Netflix and disabled (this might not be necessary but worked with me) the Netflix app and then clicked on the vertical 3 dots in the top right of the screen. This allows you to uninstall updates. Then go into the google playstore and update the netflix app. After this log back into the Netflix app and it should show L1.
Thanks for posting this for us.
Excellent review!
Thank you!
good review but I'd like to know if you can send your photos and videos to your TV (screen mirroring?)
I learned a few details about Widevine, thanks for sharing.
Helpful, thanks, I got this for my 6 year old....and feeling a bit jealous now :-)
Lovely voice. Which microphone do you use?
I've got a tab S7 already but I really missed 8inch sizes tablet. Because my best tablet was tab s2 8.0. Low Ap and resolution isn't problem. And I only spent 80$ for A7 lite 4GB Lte version in S.korea Very satisfied.
Agree, the Tab S2 was sheer perfection. Light, great screen and camera. I took it on many trips, great pictures. I wish Samsung would remake it with updated specifics.
Good review!
Thank you!
I know this video is old now, but mine is listed as Widevine L1 HD inside Netflix app. Also, in Brasil we have a 64gb/4gb with LTE version.
Muito bom saber disso, estou adquirindo esse tablet agora e estava preocupado
Watching this on my tab a7 lite. Your review was spot on, exactly as how I'm experiencing it. I'm annoyed by the widevine issue too.
Thanks for watching... hope they get it figured out
Do you know if it can transfer apps to an sd card like the a7?
@@shadoweliteneontsg3632 no it can't.
Has this issue been solved?
@@hjaltemller8610 no :/
I'm getting ready to buy this lte as well as the full hard case and a blue tooth keyboard and mouse to use as my daily phone and all in one device
Had this tablet for a month. Honestly, I'm not a Netflix person so it doesn't really bother me much. But, yeah, I totally agree with you. It does great on watching CZcams, surf the internet, even doing work on the go (been using this as a compact sub for my laptop and it does it's job well with a bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad). Gamewise, on mini to medium gaming it performs well with very little to no lags at all, coughs and sputters on heavy ones like CoD, Genshin Impact, etc. I'm annoyed wkth the fact I can't transfer apps to my sd card without making it my default memory. But it's a budget tab, yeah? It's a nice tab. Great review!
Thanks for the comment!
@@dad.0 btw, after the recent update you can now transfer some apps to your SD card. The tab is still doing great so far!
You can also go into developer settings and change the settings to update that ability. You will need to also restart it once you do that.
I am wondering is the Netflix issue fixed yet with the update?
@@monusbrewer4911 I admit I didn’t try the Netflix problem. Let’s hope it did.
Still thinking if I will buy one or not
nice vid! it would be nice to know if the front cam is good enough for people to see me on a messenger/zoom call :) thanks so much
Thanks for this video! It's now Jan 22, how can I find out if Samsung has fixed the pixel issue with Netflix???
Thank you for this great review
Thanks for watching!
Is it good for just using it for school works and a little game?
Just wondering if it comes with anything like “parental control”? Will mainly use it for my daughter‘s home schooling. Currently she’s on an iPad 4th generation which can only upgraded to iPadOS 12.x. Unfortunately it doesn’t come with “parental control “ and my girl is spending too much time on CZcams etc on daily basis.
if you download shows or movies from netflix do you still have the resolution problem?
Got it for $47 when I pre-ordered my watch 4. Not a bad deal.
I plan to get one next month. I want to know if its s- pen compatible. I use my tab a (2015) to draw, modify my photos, and plan to do the same thing.
Question, does this tablet have screen sharing/smart view capabilities so I can see it on my LG smart tv?
I'm in love with mine, I got it for $90 + a free gift!
My daughter received a FREE iPad for opening a bank account ($5.00) . Don't play price games. (I would take the Android System over Apple all day long) however both have there're strengths, but Android is still the most versatile. & the A7 LITE is perfection personified, even ignoring the price. (insecure people still paying for Apples advertising & name Anyway. (just give it it a test run) Again, It's Galaxy, Samsung, Android. All you ever want---- Cheers
Lightroom works good in this tablet?
hi, could you tell me if is possible to connect via usb-c port an external ssd or pendrive to watch movies? thx in advance.
I just got a Tab A7 Lite a few days ago. After installing all my apps the 32GB of internal storage is completely full, to the point where I can't even update apps because there is not enough space. I installed a 128GB SD card, formatted it and tried to move some apps to the SD card but it says there is not enough space on the SD card even though it's empty. Can someone help me out. Also it seems that you can't actually format and use the SD card as Internal storage like on older tablets, for example I also have a Tab S5E with a 256GB SD card that has been formatted and used as Internal storage. I have tried everything I can think of but it won't let me move apps to the SD card. i contacted Samsung and they said I should be able to. The SD Card is a 128GB Samsung Evo.
My Mom gave me that Tablet and I have that Tablet since 8/17/2021. :)
Aww
Hopefully you can return the favour when you're older.
Did you notice any backlight bleed on the a7 lite?
Does Stadia work on this tablet ? if it works I will buy it ASAP
Thanks for the review. If you load a video/movie from the SD card that is 720p, will it play it in 720p or convert the video/movie to 480p?
720p
Does Bixby routines work with this tablet?
I can't move the application to the memory card? But I can probably install applications on the memory stick?
does it still has the widevine L3 issue?
I'm considering it for reading pdfs and as a second device that I can use being out of my laptop. The only thing I'm concerned about is the screen. Is it fine to read pdfs and books etc? I don't really care about high resolutions or super fast things. I want a device that's affodable and I can study in it when I'm out of my laptop. Nice video btw. Just subscribed!
First, thank you for the sub! In all honesty, reading PDFs and books should be just fine. The text isn't quite as crisp as higher res displays but no to the point where I'd be concerned
No get the 8.4 2020 or the Tab p205 or P200 not this crap trust me. Those have IPS 1080p+ displays.
And yes it is a bad display given that the colour reproduction is trash compared to the alternatives I've mentioned above.
I’m looking to get a small tablet for the purpose of reading comic books and manga downloaded from Amazon, Rakuten, Barnes & Noble, etc. 🤔🧐
@@bitteralmonds666 fire 10 plus all the way!
I got a deal where you buy any s21 model you get a7 lite for 1 euro so I took the deal now I'm waiting for it to be delivered :)
Hi... How can we put / insert simcard in this tablet ?
Mine is widevine L1 after updates
Nice presentation
Does Skype works on this tablet?
Can you confirm me that Skype can turn on loudspeakers?
There were tablets (like Lenovo Tab 4) that had stereo speakers, but Skype couldn't used them, but instead it just used top speaker like a phone (with reduced volume), and give no option to switch to loudspeakers.
I just ordered this tablet with 64 gbits.
Want to watch CZcams videos in 720p on tv with Chromecast. Can this be done with this device?
I am watching this in Samsung a7 lte.He is right the display is good but not the best.It is good for online class but it is not good for gaming 😉 sometimes it go's slow.
Plz that sim tray how does it work
Does it not support SIM card
I'm looking to use this for MS Word and basic video editing (ie Kinemaster) the latter of which works on my Pixel 3a XL just fine. Just want a bigger screen.
Plan on bigger Bluetooth keyboard.
Zero game interest.
Would it meet these needs?
Any tablet would do. Id invest something in an S6 lite instead for longterm performance and no regrets. This Tab A7 Lite, in two years (or less) will stop getting samsung firmware updates. Usually with these low end models, i expect only a year of firmware updates and its stuck on android 10 or 11 or whatever its on out of the box.
@@billn.1318 thanks for the response but I've missed the sale by literally a day. damn it.
Also the s6 lite is over double the price. Looking to be more thrifty.
Thanks again
Aw the sim tray is smaller than the sim the back part doesn't all the sim card to flash against tray or when u insert
My first Android tablet and love it, so lite and easy to use, with a great battery
Please tell your experience about the display performance & battery backup. I need a good tablet for online classes, CZcams video watching, facebooking & reading books.
I'm confused about taking this tab or Amazon Fire HD 10.
Thanks in advance.
@@TamalRaihandid you bought the a7 lite ? What your experience about reading e books and pdf on it ? Ty
@@yassineoussiomar1912 No, I bought Galaxy Tab A (2019).
It's good enough for basic use like internet browsing, Facebooking, watching CZcams, PDF reading and online meeting in apps like Zoom and Google Meet. It's a good choice if you have limited budget and if you can avoid gaming and heavy multitasking.
Does this tab supports calling
is real steel WRB sportted on tab A7 lt?
Anyone knows if they sorted the widewine issue?
What should i do when samsung tab A7 got block out but still charging and ringing ?
Does is have a SIM card and micro card slot
Porque no viene para poner la tarjeta zinc
What's so hard to understand is Samsung can cram top specs in a phone but can't put those internals in this tablet
They put budget specs in budget tablets. Their phones are definitely not budget friendly
Can this you share screen to tv ?
Can I use it for studying I Will be using you tube and google in side by side view and calculator in pop up view is it bigh enough for seeing at a distance of 1.5 feet. Reply in have subscribe you. And is 3gb ram enough as it is updatable to android 13. Or tab a7 is best with 3gb ram as it is updatable to android 12.
Does it have a flash light
Im confused I bought this on black Friday. I got the 64gb one. I put in a sd card I already had & I'm able to move apps to the sd card. It is a Samsung sd card so I don't know if that makes a difference. I'm not real tech savvy either.
hello? I can I ask ? why is my play store won’t work?
What do you recommend me
1. Tab s6 lite for every tasks or
2. Kindle paperwhite for reading 📖 and this for reading color illustrated books and watching TV shows and movies
I wouldn't get this until they fix the widevine issue
S6 lite works great for multi-tasking. Got mine on sale, don't pay full price for it...
How to use a SIM card from it please.
Is this tablet good for long hours of reading? Which would be better samsung a7 lite or lenovo tab m10 hd 2nd generation 4gb ram/64gb storage variant?
I'd lean M10 for a few reasons... bigger screen, can store apps on SD card, no Widevine issue. However, if portability is important, the S6 Lite may be a better option.
For reading buy Onyx Boox Poke 3
How does this tablet do with using Xbox game pass/Cloud gaming?
Hope Samsung makes another one of this size with super amoled and powerful cpu.
Just go with a Samsung fold 4 !

Do you mind share us what is the name of fishing game?
PLEASE INFORM ME!! What budget tablet allows apps to be installed on SD card ??? That’s so important to me.
I believe with the new update you can transfer apps to an sd card
Notice imma buy one this weekend
Nice
6:40 I have the same tablet and I hate the laggig. It looks like your device is much more responsive. I hated it when it took 10-20s to load youtube or spotify and bought an 9th gen apple ipad now just to not surrender to Samsung and buy a more expensive tablet lol ...
How do you open the SD card slot, there is no videos for it, and the help websites don't even show how to open it.
u need a small metal pin. insert that in the small hole and put a lil force on it and it should come out
What is the name of the fishing game?
I believe on the next update, the Netflix issue will be solved. (We Hope)

Can I put a sim card into it?
I've had the Tab A7 lite for 3 months and I have had enough. I went and got an Apple Ipad 2021 mini and the difference is night and day. The processor and ram memory are far better in the Mini 2021 versus the Tab A7 Lite. I've done everything I can to speed the A7 Lite up and only had minimal success. Knowing what I know now, I would have went with the Apple Ipad mini 2021 instead of the Tab A7 Lite.
Here in our country you can buy 3 a7 lite for a price of mini 2021. If I have to spend that much I'll go for tab s7fe during sale. Android is much better than apple in term of functionality. You can have all premium apps for free in android.
Funny, I have the iPad mini6, I find it cumbersome, and not that light for a small tablet. I got this one to use as a Kindke, read mail, and get the news online. Plenty for my needs. I had the Galaxy TabS2 that was just perfect, light, great camera, that died for excess of use.
@@jkhanPrime yeah I have the tab S7 FE the 128 6gb ram model. It's amazing, fast I do run emulators and play heavy androud games like PGR and Genshin which works perfectly fine.
sim suport or not ?
