Samsung smartphones are renowned for their speedy processors, dazzling screens and sleek software, but can the same be said for its tablets? The Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G has an enormous 12.4-inch display and eight-core processor (which means it should be quick) and a stylus. It’s designed for creatives, so let’s see if it can rival the iPad Pro from 2021.
