Samsung has announced a new tablet in their line up, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. The new tablet complements their recently announced Galaxy Tab S6. The S6 Lite brings most of the Tab S6’s cutting edge features at a more affordable price point.
The new Galaxy Tab S6 lite will be running on Android 10 with One UI 2. This will be powered by an octacore Exynos 9611 processor with 4GB of RAM with either 64GB or 128GB of internal memory. The setup promises a pretty comparable experience to the Tab S6 and other competitors on paper.
Samsung is focusing on productivity and entertainment with the S6 Lite. It has equipped the tablet with AKG tuned dual speakers as well as a large 10.40inch TFT screen. It has a WUXGA resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels and a pixel density of about 224 ppi. In addition, Samsung is bundling 4 months of YouTube Premium with the Tab S6 Lite. Spotify also integrates seamlessly into the new One UI setup on the Tab S6 Lite.
The Tab S6 Lite will also be coming with an S Pen in the box. You won’t need to worry about losing your S Pen as it will be able to stick to your tablet thanks to a magnetised right side. The S Pen comes with all the bells and whistles that come with the S Pen on the Note 10 series. However, given the camera setup of the S6 lite, we doubt it will have the AR features. That said, if you want to enhance your productivity even more, you’ll be able to get an optional keyboard magnetised case for the tablet.
The camera setup on the Tab S6 lite is a single 8-megapixel sensor on the back. This sensor comes with a wide lens and has a 1.12µm pixel size. It is capable of shooting 1080p at 30fps. On the front is a 5-megapixel sensor capable of shooting in 1080p at 30fps. These cameras should be able to handle most of what you need a camera to on tablet.
On the connectivity front, the tablet supports 4G LTE connectivity and also dual band WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. It also has support for Bluetooth 5.0 LE and WiFi Direct. It is powered by a 7,040 mAh battery with Adaptive Fast Charging.
