[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] WalterCool:
Hi everyone,

Question for you on this, which one would you suggest, by experience? I do understand both devices have minor differences, like the "correct" camera position at S7, 120Hz, but as well the poorly LCD screen on Tab S7.

As someone who owns a S4 Tab (which is very unpopular on XDA community overall), what would you suggest personally? I want to upgrade mostly due low RAM, bad placement for S-Pen, keyboard constant disconnect, but mostly due 0% of someone starting a LineageOS development (LineageOS GSI has several issues, and I'm not expert enough on Android development to start my own).

Seems like S5E and S6L has already lot of development around LineageOS, and is likely S6 and S7 tab could receive something as well.

As far I read most of QA comments, seems like most people owns a S7+ due better screen mostly, but personally is out my budget and too big from my perspective.

Many thanks!

If you want to know which tablet is the right for you:

You've give yourself the answer in the last sentence
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] basthet:
The s7 has one of the best displays available, although it is not an OLED. I would not care about the OLED /LCD displayfight.

It's like the ultra highres and 120Hz discussion: most people love the crispness and fluety, not realizing both is deactivated due to performance or battery savings. Go in a shop and try it, you can deactivate it and see yourself. There even are people praising it in forums, not knowing the program they are using not even support it.

When it comes to professionalism you have to avoid OLED due to the lack of color calibration and color acurracy. That's the reason its a pure consumer thing. And for the latter, marketing always try to make things essentiall you actually do not need.

But as soon it comes to proffesionalis (this) android tablet is not for you at all. From an artist perspective major apps are missing (although getting better) and the s-pen technique is a big draw back, beside the form factor. Same for office work: Dex still is a pain, the office packages are working not like on a Desktop and yes: you'll hate the keyboard at the end of a working day (so use a standard BT one instead). Or even better: spend much more money and buy a surface PC.

From a consumer perspective OLED are great, love it on my mobile especially in pitch dark. But honestly: 99% of the time you're not realizing it and the battery saving bla bla is not worth the discussion. If I would have welcomed it on the s7: sure. But I would not have spend 100 € more for it.

Consider your use case. For a simple multimedia device: wait for the s7 light. If you need a device primary for note taking and some more sofisticated multimedia stuff, the s7/s7+ is for you. The RAM and CPU are great for painting (as long it's on concept /sketching level) and a good alround device on the go.

The s6 was out of focus for me due to: the pen form factor, the camara position, and especially not having an update option in 3 years. If you can deal with all: go for it.

To make it short: consider what you want. If the s7: wait for a good deal. In case you need 8GB of Ram and a bigger screen spend the extra money for the s7+.

Oh well broke my Pixel C Tablet today changing the battery . I been living with the Pixel C Tab and my Nexus 6 phone running LineageOS for years just looking for some feedback on what might be a fun and logical upgrade that should have good LineageOS Rom support going forward ?

Problem is no rom or LineageOS support for the Tab S7+ your on your own once the updates stop
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
By that time the s8 will be out and I'm sure there will be roms soon, but honestly very little need, these days I find very little need to root and only look for roms if I really need an OS update which hasn't happened since my old tab s 8.4 which is still going strong on lineage.

Don't get me wrong rooting and ROMing are great to have, but I find current Android customizable enough for most things and don't pick my devices based on that. I'd rather root my phone than my tab and I wouldn't sacrifice oled for root or roms
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Markeee:
Well said I would love to get the S7+ its the best out there now my first choose but at the end of the day its also important for me to have some good rom support and the fact that the the S7+ has absolutely none right now leaves me worried we may never see any materialize ?

So thinking maybe last years Tab S5e is the best possible compromise considering it has official LineageOS support and blessings its just missing the 120Hz display not quite as big and not as nice of a upgrade power wise.

Sucks I'm torn and can't decide ?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] basthet:
Well, sorry no. Your marketing talk even is obsolete as Micro- and Q-LED is the new hype ;)

To make it short.

For simple consumers: go to a shop and see yourself. If you like perfect blacks, oversatturation and high contrasts: go for OLEDs. You definitely will see the difference next to a s7.

If you would be in (photo-)graphics or arts on a professional level: you would not even ask that question. You would know that's OLEDS will never be an options (color accuracy, calibration, etc.).

Just keep in mind: OLEDs show the strongest burn-in. But: as long you do not work all day long with a single programm (office, photoshop, eclipse, etc.) or use it as a display device with areas showing almost static output (e.g. home automation at a wall, infotainment in cars), this will not be a problem. Typing this on a 3.5 year old galaxy s8, with still no real notable burn in. Only the color shifted over the years. But thats s.th. you can adjust for.

And: I would have taken the s7+, but the OLED is a no go for me.

What's the reason you want to have good rom support?

Just wondering. Same for 120Hz: you know that apps have to support it specifically? Most don't, for obvious reasons...

One UI is a great enhancer when it comes to tablet support on Android. My pretty old Note 10.1 sucks without. You'll notice it, when missing.

The best option for me is a rooted s7 stock rom. Just kept it unrooted for guaranty reasons, in half a year... ;).

Best tablet UI but open for adjustment. Of course, you should not put your bank account on it. But frankly, all other features missing with root I would preferably have on my phone than this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
Wow I hope you were joking about QLED/nanopixels being the best thing right now! You know that's just fake logos that say "we can't make OLEDs but we want you to think we do"?

As for color accuracy, I actually do a lot of drone footage and photo, but admittedly I'm no PRO and I don't edit on my tablet(I edit on my 28" 4k IPS HDR), but I did read the reviews and comparisons which put the S7+ above the S7 and the Ipad Pro when in Natural color mode. You can also calibrate yourself. I prefer the amoled for reviewing my video since most video is produced to HDR for display on an OLED TV. I find if it looks good on my tablet it will look close to the same on my LG OLED.

I guess it all depends what you want to do with the Tablet and what you are producing and for what target. I was not trying to say there is no place for the LCD(although I don't have one), just that some people on the forum are telling others not to worry the LCD is just as good as good as beautiful as AMOLED and that's just not true.

Also I have every Tab S Amoled made except the s5 and not one of them has Burnin or any significant loss of vibrancy. Personally if I couldn't deal with the 12" I would have stuck with my s6 over the s7 LCD.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] basthet:
Well... that's because Samsung does not sell QLED but half backed solutions only calling them QLED - there are even ads with references clarifying, what SAMSUNG means by "QLED".

I was referring to real quantum dot emitters, not having these color-offsets and color depended life time problems the (AM)OLED still has. Still hoping for next year...

Well - there you got it. Everybody here replays this marketing bla bla from sellers and samsung or reviewers (most likely from YouTube) putting the AMOLED superior to the LCD.

Please do not feel offended, I do not try to argue with you. All I want to say is that the quality of a display is not defined by simple "blackness" and slangs like "vibrancy". Even the slang "Natural color" is a hoax - OLED just cannot produce them. Samsung (like LG, Sony, etc.) tries to manipulate it towards, and might get quite close, but after a while, colors shift away. A nightmare for people have to relay on color accuracy.

Same for their algorithm to reduce the burn-in effect. I also have an OLED (older than 3 years). No notable burn-in - but the price you pay is pixel shift and out-greying. If you are sensitive to one: OLED is not for you. If you don't care or not even notice it: great!

To make it short: It's hard to say in general, if the LCD of the s7 is worse compared to the s4/s6 and even the s7+ OLEDs. Best is to grep one and see if it fits you needs. For a LCD the s7 is really good and same goes for the s7+ as an AMOLED. Both (techniques) have their strengths but also weaknesses. I was rather happy, when I found the s7, as I do not have to spend my soul for an iPad Pro + I do not have to care about unexpected color reworks as soon as I switch back to my PC.

However, still hating Samsung for their crappy S-Pen technique... But well - you get what you pay for ;)

Thanks for the replies I appreciate the discussion and feedback .

I'm coming from an old Pixel C Tablet I just broke the thing trying to replace the battery. That unit lost android update support years ago but managed to stay alive through roms and LineageOS which was nice I looked forward to kind of lived for those updates like most nerds otherwise I probably would of replaced it long ago. I'm still running with my Nexus 6 on LineageOS updates.

So I wasn't really even thinking about replacing it but now that it gone may as well have some fun get something new and considering I usually keep my **** so long like 5 yrs I may as well try get the latest and the greatest.

At first didn't know what to get but didn't take long to realize there's really no new android tablet options out except Samsung which kind of sucks coz rooting flashing Samsung bit more complicated not as straight up easy for me as dealing with the pixel which is super easy. With Samsung knox I have to re-learn that mess not looking forward to that and seems alot of people having issues dealing with it

Anyways I only really use the tablet for watching videos it will never leave my house leaning towards the S7+ just trying to snag a deal is all
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] basthet:
@Markeee

Keep in mind that - unfortunately - the situation for android tablets is a bit different nowadays.

Almost all new tablet specific features come from Samsung (Dex, etc.). Google and the other brands dropped tablet support almost completely. That implies also lineageOS - relaying on google - will most likely not offer new tablet specific features in the future. Hence, putting a custom rom on it will result in a draw back compared to One UI.

The good: with a s7/s7+ you will get all the new tablet specific stuff for 3 years and be up to the notch. As Samsung still tries to catch up to Apple that's the best you can get.

The bad: after 3 years you most likely will been stucked - or forced to make the step back to linageOS if you want Android 14+. Samsung managed to make porting their One UI features quite difficult.

However, time will tell. If google rediscover their tablet love, being again the driving android force for tablets, this situation will be totally different in 3 years.

When it comes to custom roms and video watching only: all I'm talking about will not be such of an issue, as all the mentioned features are more in the direction of writing, drawing, UI-integration, etc.

However, keep in mind that Netflix and other streaming portals suppress usage with rooted devices. Here the Knox counter is a big problem you might come over (e.g. via Magisk), but that needed to be supported by s.o. . Time will tell if the community will do, or not.

Moreover, reconsider the s7/s7+ completely. Both are rather expensive and target people using the Pen heavily (e.g. drawing, painting). Here you still need the fastest processor, as mush Ram as possible and a digitizer - and you have to pay for it. Have you considered going with a tablet w/o S-Pen?

If the question is only the ease to put custom rom on: well I'm rather sure here you will find the first noteworthy solution. And: simplifications of that will come later. But for Custom rom support I am not so optimistic: most owner would probably think like me, that most (unofficial) linageOS ports will lack the tablet features One Ui offers. Hence consider rooting and flashing not worth the hazel...

For better or worse I just pulled the trigger and ordered the Tab S7+, 256GB, sometimes just want to say WTF least I was able to snag a deal $582.61 before tax's free shipping. I'm sure I won't use take advantage of the pen but still nice to have all these premium features for a change.

Spending extra will be negligible considering how long i plan on keeping this thing. Hopefully years down the road when support ends there will me some other options to keep this thing alive .

Hello Markeee

I am in a similar situation like you.

Fortunately my pixel C is still working.

Nevertheless I am starting looking for a replacement.

How do you like the Samsung so far?

Did you root it?

I am really sceptical bec of all that Samsung bloatware and this other Samsung stuff, as well as the lack of custom ROMs. The hardware is for sure much better...

My use cases are mostly watching videos, web surfing, emailing. I love the external keyboard for my pixel c, i wonder if there is something similar in the Samsung world...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] BladeRunner:
From personal experience I find the screen on the Tab S7 to be brighter, more vibrant and with truer colors than on the Tab S6. I compared my S6 side by side with my wife's S7 while watching a video and the S7

's screen was much more pleasing to watch. The S6's screen was simply too dark so I lost detail in the shadows and the colors seemed muted even with the display set to Vibrant.

This sort of surprised me based on the comparison reviews I've seen that said the S6 had the better display.

The best with all those features have Evolution ROM for Android 10. They released the first Android 11 ROM this month so far it's good but it's lacking a lot of features so it will take time maybe 3-4 months to get a good stable any ROM with Android 11.

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
unlocking dev options and using the oem unlock option is not necessary for our device.

Unlocking the bootloader also corrupts the fingerprint sensor data, making fingerprint break.

when you need to flash a rom and the normal method does not work, flashing though recovery normally works.

as you have a CN variant of the phone. note you cannot use the NFC function. as there is no NFC chip on CN variant devices.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Brae2:
Oh i didn't know that! I was unable to flash the na rom through recovery until i renamed the zip folder lol but i wish i knew i had to rename it before i bricked my phone.

Im not sure how to relock my bootloader and fix the fingerprint sensor, i read somewhere theres a number to dial #xxx# for the calibration but i cant find it
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
fastboot flashing lock or fastboot oem lock I think are the commands to relock your bootloader. which after a wipe should restore your fingerprint.

you can then follow my TWRP and ROOT guide on XDA here for the 5S and not have flashing problems again.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Brae2:
Thanks for the help! Im wondering if i should just return this phone and just buy the na version from the website, i find it a little annoying that the shop didnt mention it was the cn version, i dont know what else im missing apart from NFC aswel so im stressing
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Patrick Morgan:
all 3 regions had the exact same hardware.

with the exception of the NFC chip on the CN units.

if you can live without NFC the phone should be the same and function correctly with any of the roms once you're able to flash them.

its just that there will be an NFC option in the rom, it just wont activate, since you dont have the actual hardware.

if you were to give the phone back look into buying it from redmagic directly. as Nubia's Warranty only covers direct sales, it does not cover any 3rd party website this includes places like Nubia store on Aliexpress. you won't get official warranty from there.

only the redmagi.gg or nubia homepage which normally directs you to redmagic.gg will support official warranty so this is something to consider.

but also, as you've unlocked the bootloader, flashed things and what not. if the seller knows or finds this out they can refuse a refund as you've modified the system.

good luck either way.

So I recently tried to unroot my device with flashing official ROM on it. Apparently I used the wrong file because my phone got bricked. I tried using XiaoMiTool by Francesco but it didn't help. I spent a lot of time trying to fix it so ill post what worked for me. I downloaded a lot of ROMS but none of them worked for me there was either flash error or device mismatching and I couldn't find right flash official software anywhere. I downloaded another ADB fixing program which worked, I downloaded Szaki/XiaomiADB fastboot tools which worked perfectly. I simply connected my phone searched for my phone code name (tucana) downloaded ROM from there, wiped all data off and finally flashed OS on my device. I also have a question, are there any android software fixing programs for phone repair companies or something similar?

id suggest to unbrick with mi flash tool.

I did that always when i was stuck on something, it ofcourse removes your data but saves the device so its still the profit probably... After succesfull rom installation you can flash again.

Also you do this in fastboot mode
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cj711:
When I was stuck in the same way the solution I found was to flash whatever rom then when the phone bootloops, go into recovery, and format data. Afterwards it will boot to startup screen and take forever to load up. Anyway that is my solution, before that I would have to flash stock recovery to boot for the first time then flash a custom recovery back.
