I didn't really need this tab, so I made a deal with myself to use it as much as possible. I purposely left my phone upstairs when I got home yesterday and used only my tablet for the rest of the day and night. I'm hooked. I used it for everything including texts and a phone call. Yes, it's huge, but it hasn't bothered me much. I do wish social media pages were optimized for this device, but even that isn't terrible. This tablet is a winner. Editing documents and spreadsheets was no problem. Reading is delightful and the speakers are crisp. this is the best $400 I've spent in a long time.

the SPen controls work about 95% of the time. I believe that will get better the more I use them. Capitalization still isn't the best, but word recognition is top notch.

I probably won't even use them tho, once I started using bluetooth/wireless headphones I could never go back to wired headphones
I keep these last ones I got in my car. If I ever forget my buds at home, I'm not without a pair. they've already come in handy.

I did a wipe cache partition this morning but haven't used the tablet much today, but I did discover that it's the logos Bible app with the issue of the choppy scrolling, because I tested it in a couple of other Bible Study Apps that are just as loaded with files and those scroll like butter.

I just put Tab S7+ through its paces. Watching movies, YouTube, office work etc (didn't try games). I got screen usage time of 8 hrs 40 mins with 6% left. All this on 120hz display. How is it holding up on all yours?

I put my S7 through the paces this weekend, and it is fantastic. No lag, super responsive, and a great SPen. I had a little problem with my Evernote app. But when I put it in Dex mode, it worked fine. I use a split screen with my lecture videos on one half, and my Evernote on the other half. It is ultra portable with the keyboard case, and it looks very professional. Watched some YouTube videos and never experienced any hiccups. The screen is great. I'm sure the plus screen is better, but the LCD screen is fine for me. Overall, it's a 10.

Just want to share that installing "multi star" is a game changer on this tablet. You can force apps to show in landscape mode and you don't have to worry using gestures between portrait and landscape. But the downside is they either have back spaces on both sides or look awkward if stretched to fit.
