I use my S7+ when I travel and find it just fine for that. It could likely work as my primary platform if I put my mind towards that goal. I will say this is about my 5th or 6th Samsung tablet I have carried for this purpose and overall the experience has improved with each device and OS generation. And the apps have expanded their capabilities as well. I have also used my iPad Pro 11" for the same purpose. Both systems have pluses and minuses. The iPad's biggest plus is probably the better Adobe app feature sets on iOS compared to Android. Storage capacity and general file handling are probably the minuses. Personal preference I prefer the S pen form and feel over the Apple pencil. Android is a lot more flexible when it comes to storage space and file handling. I have a 512GB microSD in my 256GB S7+, so plenty of storage.

since you have both (I have a an iPad 10.5 Pro), could you say how the performance and battery life are for the S7+ vs the iPad?

I'm a bit shocked at how relatively poor the battery is on my 10.5" iPad Pro when editing on the road. I'm considering switching to a Samsung if the battery life is any good. Reports are the S7 (11" LCD) vs the 12.4" OLED S7+ is much better so that's probably what I'd look at since the CPU is the same.

I have found that the battery life of the iPad has been highly variable. Each OS update seems to cause substantial differences, sometimes better, sufferings worse. IOS seems to do better at holding a charge when the device is in sleep mode.  In use it seems to run down slightly faster.  This might not be a fair comparison since my iPad is about a year older than my Tab S7+.  My older Tab S6 seems to run down about the same rate as my iPad Pro.  I also have a newer iPad Air that I use for work.  That one seems slightly better on battery life than the older Pro. I would be interested to see how the new M1 based iPads fair.
