Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Review – A Lightweight Tablet for Entertainment and Business

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is the cheapest Samsung tablet to include an S pen stylus. It is a portable budget tablet with a good quality display for viewing contents online or offline. The Galaxy S6 tablet looks and feels durable with smaller bezels around it compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A with a sturdy rear.

Design

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a robust design with a glass front, aluminium back and aluminium frame which makes it strong enough to withstand a few accidental drops. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a bit heavy as a result of the build material, at a weight of 467g a complete all-round measurement of 9.63 x 6.07 x 0.28 inches. It has slim bezels around the screen compared to those on Galaxy Tab A. At the back of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a single rear camera at the top left corner.

It has volume buttons, a power button, and a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top of the tablet and the USB-C port is located at the lower part of the device. It comes with an S pen stylus which is good for taking notes or drawing. It has a SIM card tray that takes one Nano SIM card and a microSD card.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a 10.4inches LCD screen with 1200 x 2000pixel resolution at 224ppi density. The screen is bright and clear enough to be used under direct sunlight.

Performance and Battery life

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite runs on Android 10 OS with Samsung’s One UI 3.1 on top of it. It offers Exynos 9611 chipset which is seen in some Samsung mid-range phones like Galaxy A51. It is not a very powerful chipset but would work just fine if you do not put a lot of pressure on the tablet. Low-end games like Call of duty would run smoothly without any issue but I wouldn’t say the same for high demand games. It offers 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage space which can be expanded with the use of a micro SD card.

It has a single 8MP rear camera and 5MP selfie camera that both shoots 1080p videos@30fps. It also has a live focus mode where you can edit your picture background and AR Doodle where you can draw on your face with the use of the S pen stylus. The S pen stylus supports the basic S Pen features like Samsung Capture and Air Command.

The battery life is pretty good. It is powered by a 7040mAh built-in battery and supports 15W fast charging. Due to its battery size, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite takes longer to power up.

Buying Guide

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a good budget tablet that is able to handle a little bit of multi-tasking. It is so far the best mid-range tablet Samsung has produced with a robust design that is pleasing to the eyes, and also includes an S pen but there might be some response issues with the stylus S pen.
