Oh, if you like it old-school, the classic nav bar remains an option. We opted for the newer method where a swipe-in from the sides acts as 'Back', and a swipe up from the bottom takes you Home. The Galaxy Tab S FE supports gesture navigation, as usual. The (optional) leftmost page is either Google Discover or Samsung Free (previously Samsung Daily). You populate homescreen pages with apps, folders, and widgets there is an app drawer, too. The basics of the UI are the same as on any other Samsung rocking One UI 3. Widgets are supported here if that's your thing. The default lock screen shortcuts - Samsung Notes and Camera, are monochrome in OneUI 3.1. So, the One UI tablet view is basically an enlarged version of the One UI we've all seen on the most recent Galaxy smartphones. There are a couple of major differences between tablet and desktop view - the interface and icon scaling, the homescreen look and behavior, and how multi-tasking is done. Unless you manually switch to desktop (DeX) mode, this is how you will use the slate. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE defaults to its tablet view by default. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE runs on One UI 3.1 at launch, which is based on Android 11. The S-Pen experience is compatible with both modes, and its behavior can be customized for both. The tablet and desktop mode are easily switchable, and intuitive to work with. That's why we will divide our software tour into three parts - tablet view, DeX view, S-Pen features. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, just like the rest of the Tab S7 slates, supports regular tablet view, DeX desktop-like experience, and numerous S-Pen features.
