Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Unboxing & Review - One Big Issue

After recently reviewing the Samsung Tab A7, I was intrigued with Samsung announce the smaller Tab A7 Lite a few weeks ago.

I decided to pick one up and review it for a couple weeks to see how it stacks up to the Tab A7 and if I think it is worth the recommendation.

Overall, The Tab A7 Lite is a solid budget tablet in 2021 but there is one big issue I hope they get fixed and fast!

Would you still buy this tablet with the Widevine issue?

The video is old, now is classified as widevine L1 no need to worry anymore 💞

The 8.7" form factor is very underrated. I feel like not enough people appreciate the size where it feels comfortable in your hand while still giving you a good viewing experience; that and the <9" form factor is great for two-handed gaming.

If they made a S7 "Lite" that was 8.7" and about $150 more (maybe $300-350 range) and gave a better processor, 6gb of RAM, 128gb storage, fingerprint reader, and a better OLED 1080 screen I would jump on it immediately. My 2017 Tab A 8" is still going strong and perfect for movies and offline games while I travel; I would love to get an adequate update for it that really goes above and beyond this offering.

My main tablet is the tab s7 plus but I picked up this as a compact portable device for work and outdoors. I think the display is absolutely fine and the speakers sound really good. As long as you don't expect it to perform like a high end tablet it's well worth its price tag

can we all just take a second to appreciate how he put timestamps on the vid

Good information. Just purchased from Best Buy (64GB) for $129. As a senior citizen should be enough for me (no gaming or movies!)

Fyi, the widevine L3 issue on Netflix has been fixed, and now presents widevine L1 allowing you to stream HD content.

I just purchased the A7 lite today, and when I took it home and logged into netflix it came up as widevine l3. I thought upon installation it would have updated the A7 lite to the latest firmware but it hadn't. I done that but it still came up as L3. I went into Settings > Apps > Netflix and disabled (this might not be necessary but worked with me) the Netflix app and then clicked on the vertical 3 dots in the top right of the screen. This allows you to uninstall updates. Then go into the google playstore and update the netflix app. After this log back into the Netflix app and it should show L1.

Had this tablet for a month. Honestly, I'm not a Netflix person so it doesn't really bother me much. But, yeah, I totally agree with you. It does great on watching YouTube, surf the internet, even doing work on the go (been using this as a compact sub for my laptop and it does it's job well with a bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad). Gamewise, on mini to medium gaming it performs well with very little to no lags at all, coughs and sputters on heavy ones like CoD, Genshin Impact, etc. I'm annoyed wkth the fact I can't transfer apps to my sd card without making it my default memory. But it's a budget tab, yeah? It's a nice tab. Great review!

I've got a tab S7 already but I really missed 8inch sizes tablet. Because my best tablet was tab s2 8.0. Low Ap and resolution isn't problem. And I only spent 80$ for A7 lite 4GB Lte version in S.korea Very satisfied.

Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷. I bought my one this week. I've loved it so much.

[reviewhonesto]

I know this video is old now, but mine is listed as Widevine L1 HD inside Netflix app. Also, in Brasil we have a 64gb/4gb with LTE version.

[sharkbait]

Got it for $47 when I pre-ordered my watch 4. Not a bad deal.

[tooeasysquad]

thank you so much, i have been pondering on the tablet for a while now, and now i know that, being 11 years old, this is the perfect table for me.

[saipranav]

Watching this on my tab a7 lite. Your review was spot on, exactly as how I'm experiencing it. I'm annoyed by the widevine issue too.

[colindasilva]
