Was comparing the prices of Galaxy tab S7 on Amazon US and Australia and found the price difference there. Price on Amazon.au for the same tablet is AU $1335.
Price breakdown:
Tablet price = $833.42
Coupon discount = $71.85 will be applied on checkout
Shipping $27.04
GST $78.86
Total = $867.48
CamelCamelCamel.
Yeah, It might come with a free KB as it says buy s7 and s7+ and save on Kb.
Edit: Limited time only
Where does it say that?
Scroll down, Just under where it says in bold huge letters " Designed for Work. Perfect for Play ……… "
Buy the Tab S7 or S7+ and save on Keyboard. Limited Time Only
@SydneyisSkyBlue: Yeah you may be right but apparently some buyers were getting free book case and KB with their tablets. Check the 1st comment in the following deal
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/575706
@Fvistr0: They bought the tablet from a deal before that thread. Not even from that thread. So the likelihood you getting a free keyboard case in this deal is slim to none.
@Fvistr0: that was for preorders only, and not for the US market. The US only got 50% off the case with preorders.
I got mine free, but it was AU tablet which is about 50% more than the US charges.
LCD screen not amoled.
Wow that's dodgy. Hasn't the galaxy tab S series always been super amoled?
similar to the note, entry level is LCD now, the Plus version is OLED.
Yeah AMOLED screen is more then $1600, almost double the price with exactly the same configuration except screen size and amoled.
I say buy Tab 6 if possible.
Bought a demo s5E OLED for $400 Bing Lee. Great for books, web and movies. Could not find s6 anywhere.
@swamykn: Amazon. Bought it in September for $800.
But it seems to be $1100 now haha. Stock is almost gone.
Yep. This should be called Tab s7 lite
have s7+?
warranty ???
At your risk.
I'm curious as to what people do with Android tablets. I use Android for my phone, but personally for my use I can't see why an Android tablet would be any better than an iPad.
I use my iPad for note taking, drawing diagrams, that's about it - a glorified pen and paper. Just interested to know what people buying these would use it for generally
Samsung dex and multitasking is way better than ipad.
Second this - Connecting up Dex to a monitor works pretty seamlessly
Same as iPad but android.
without apps
tablets are for reading scripture
seriously though i read srimad bhagavatam (the ripened fruit of the tree of vedic wisdom) my s7 plus, the amoled black is a power off state
Great. I read on S5E OLED. I have a web version. PM me for a link.
I primarily use mine for media (watching tv/movies).
Used to use it a tonne during work travel (flying in/out once a week). Now still find it nice to just watch in the house in various places. Also have rooted it so I can remove all ads from any location which is nice - makes watching things like Twitch a lot easier.
Surprising as I pretty much stopped using the TV entirely.
I use my 8" galaxy tab s2 at home instead of my phone for most things, especially when I'm on the sofa. Fits in one hand like my phone but bigger screen and better aspect ratio for web browsing, email, ordering food, puzzle games etc.
Wish there was an update to the 8" S2. All the smaller size android tablets are a load of rubbish.
Tab A is the successor.
The S7 has way better speakers than the iPad. Compared side by side the iPad is just terrible and being most people, myself included, use their pads for media use its a bit of a buzzkill on the iPad!
I use my iPad Pro for: work (Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Adobe Acrobat, etc.), study (Coursera, Udemy, Google Docs, etc.), reading books (Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play Books), photo editing (Lightroom, Snapseed, etc.), communication (iMessage, facetime, Line, Whatsapp, Google Hangouts, Webex Teams, email), games, drawing, writing, news and social media consumption, watching Netflix and other streaming services. I use a wireless trackpad, and a wireless keyboard to control the iPad Pro. Samsung tablets can probably do most of these things.
I use it as a light laptop/2 in 1 that I can write notes on when I read pdfs.
I have an iPad, and had a surface pro and an Android tablet. I found Android to be better suited for me.
drawing things in mspaint.apk
Work provided iPad
Used at work for note taking (and transcribing), diagrams and flow charts, conference calls so my laptop is not occupied etc
At home used for media consumption (youtube, netflix), browsing, music control via bluetooth/sonos, reading and recipes
No headphone jack now even on tablets. Sticking with my tab s4.
Pretty good price, my S7 from the Edu store cost $869 just for the 128GB model. I use mine alongside my MBP since not quite a laptop replacement like they market it if you do more than basic productivity but neither is the much pricier 11-inch iPad Pro (2020) for most industries which is why I opted for the cheaper S7.
I don't mind the LCD display honestly, for work where static UI elements are open for hours I don't want to deal with the burn in problems of AMOLED. The fingerprint sensor on the S7 is flush against the chassis which makes it annoying to feel for though.
I doubt the book cover keyboard is included. Samsung US had a preorder promo where you would save on the keyboard if preordered together with the tablet, while the pre-order promo in Australia was a free keyboard but the tablet sold for RRP. The keyboard is nice too, keys aren't too cramped except for the \ key, feels good to type on with a passable trackpad. The rear stand part of the case is also properly held on by magnets instead of unreliable adhesive like on my girlfriend's Tab S6 which drops the tablet routinely.
Once you go Super AMOLED you won't go back, not sure why Samsung put an IPS LCD screen on their Tab S line up this year, shame on you.
The plus model is amoled
Better price than Samsung EPP store
so tempted. would've bought it if it had Australian warranty and tax invoice for the purpose of tax deduction.
How to people get used to no headphone jack? I bought the s20 fe and already miss the jack.
I have galaxy buds and airpods as well but prefer to use wired.
Especially with tablets, you use dongle, Bluetooth headphones or are there any decent usb c headphones?
i'm a little jack of this question.
It looks like the coupon is no longer available.
Has the deal expired?
Black for $580. Not sure if it gets even cheaper with coupon.
I couldnt see the coupon on the black one
What I can't figure out is why tablets have become more expensive in recent years rather than cheaper…
You shouldn't have to spend close to $2k for a decent tablet.
For now I've gone with the s6 lite as I just can't justify those prices.
Probably a couple of reasons, but primarily lack of competition in the "premium" range.
Tab S7 and S7+ are definitely top of the line Android tablets. There are a plethora of decent tablets from various Chinese manufacturers which work prefectly fine too.
Great question.
IMO most people don't need a tablet (phones are bigger, many laptops are touch screen and/or 2-in-1), and the manufacturers decided that the people who needs/wants a tablet don't mind paying a higher price for it. Using myself as an example, I use a tablet for work note-taking and general media consumption I tried the S6 Lite but the screen quality and S-Pen lag was not up to par (ymmv, i'm just speaking very subjectively). I got the S7 this week and the near-zero pen lag and the 120hz display is a game changer. Do I mind paying $1k for it? I do. But it's the cheapest device that does the job. The ipad air 4 + pencil + keyboard is way more (and not even mentioning the ipad pro). This means the tablet space is polarized with mid-range being left out.
Playing devil's advocate because I know some of you will: a pen and note pad also does the job. Yes it does, but looking good at work and in meetings are very real, very material benefits.
Click through and you'll see the $50 off changes the deposit to zero.
oh thats awesome. temping for sure!
Which bank do u use that converts USD50 into AUD223.76 cuz I WANT IN!
@Kanjus: The $1035 delivered is the USD price that's $1292 AUD. Probably better to get from jb hifi and use discounted gift cards. At least you get a warranty.
I thought there was a further 50 off yesterday but it seems to be gone today.
@BargainBenno: AUD just weakened so AUD value now exceeds $1k. So deposit now payable. Also $50 off gone.
The black S7/256 is on at the same price USD 603 (the USD $50 coupon offer needs to be checked).
On a slightly related note, does anyone else notice amazon.com advertise "no import fees Deposit" to Australia, yet they still charge GST at the checkout.
This is tempting
