Galaxy Tab S7:
Without a doubt, the design is premium. I loved the distribution of weight, the color, the finish, the texture, and everything. The metallic rim with that brushed finish makes it look a class apart.
Tab S7 comes with quad AKG tuned speakers that provide a filling and an evident sound, particularly when you watch videos or play games.
Placing the front camera in the landscape mode is a significant change in the design. If you are connected to the keyboard or not, the camera position is better suited.
Galaxy Tab S6:
It is a very thin tablet with standard aluminum body. Holding it in your hands feels fantastic. It weighs only 420 grams which is lighter than Tab S7.
There is a quad speaker setup, micro SD card slot, your power and volume buttons, and a type-c port. Now headphone jack is missing but you can use type-c earbuds.

Galaxy Tab S7:
The display is a pretty good size at 11 inches. It’s IPS display which is a bit of a bummer because I was expecting Samsung to ship it with Super AMOLED but that they have saved for the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus.
The display comes with a 120-hertz sweet refresh rate which feels crazy smooth and it’s even more enjoyable on a big tablet.
It’s not as bright as a super AMOLED display. For indoor use, it’s not an issue but you would still not get the deep blacks and that brightness. Even though it’s not a Super AMOLED display, the colors and brightness are still great.
Galaxy Tab S6:
Samsung Tab S6 have a gorgeous 10.5 inch OLED HDR 10 plus display which does sit a bit shorter than an 11 inch Tab S7. It’s not only capable of playing 1440p YouTube videos but also an HDR which looks absolutely brilliant. Tab S6 comes with AMOLED display which is big advantage in comparison of Tab S7.

Galaxy Tab S6:
The Snapdragon 855 processor make this Tab S6 an absolute dream for work and play at the same time. The ability to use the device as you would a laptop and a tablet at the same time automatically makes this the best tablet. It also performed quite well in games. The only time I noticed a difference was in the most demanding titles like asphalt 9.

WHICH TABLET YOU SHOULD BUY?
This is really one of the toughest conclusion. If I had a choice, I would choose the tab s7 plus above all but we’re talking about the tab s6 and tab s7 here, so choosing between them depends on your needs. If you are a entertainment person or you have light work, you go for the tab s6. If you are kind of a digital artist and need good performance for gaming then tab s7 is a better choice.
