Device makers are constantly looking to refine their best-selling products with productivity and creativity in mind in the social distancing era when the home is the office. Samsung Galaxy tabs delivered wonderful Android-based experiences earlier somehow missing a complete package to date.
With the 12.4-inch Super AMOLED display-packed Galaxy Tab S7+ LTE, the company has hit the jackpot, fulfilling most of the criteria for a professional or a creative buddy to unleash Android capabilities at its optimum best — at work, home, or on the go.
Those who are not on the Apple iPad Pro or, for that matter, not on the iOS ecosystem at all, this new Samsung tab does complete justice for seamless Android navigation amid killer features.

How? Let us find out.
One of the USPs on the device (that supports a 16:10 aspect ratio picture) is ‘Audio Bookmark’ in Samsung Notes app that allows you to record interviews, lectures, or online meetings as you write, and then sync the two together.
This feature makes it stands apart from the rest of the similar devices ((iPad Pro to has this killer feature but the pencil makes a bit of a tapping sound as audio is being recorded).
We can easily navigate lengthy recordings by tapping on a sentence and automatically jump back to the corresponding audio timestamp.
The device offers good mouse support and integrates seamlessly with an external monitor.

With the App Pair tool, one can even tie up three apps together for simultaneous launch to save time in a hurry.

Samsung’s close partnership with Microsoft brings big benefits to tab users too. One can quickly sync Samsung Notes with Microsoft OneNote and Outlook.
Available for the first time on an Android tablet, the popular drawing app ‘Clip Studio Paint’ will help digital artists. It comes preloaded on the tab (Samsung is also offering YouTube Premium free for 4 months).
