Our review model was Oxford Gray, as pictured. The Tab S6 Lite comes in Oxford Gray, Angora Blue or Chiffon Rose colors, although not all different colors are available in every region. The audio jack will also please many users of wired headphones. Not all affordable tablets have USB-C ports, as some have micro USB, which is slower for data transfer and charging, so we’re happy to see the inclusion of it here. There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top of the device, a power button and volume rocker on the right edge, and a USB-C port on the bottom edge. The back of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite houses the rear camera in the top-left corner (if you’re holding the device in portrait orientation). The low screen-to-body ratio means the device has a good-size screen without feeling overly large in the hand. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (Image credit: Future)Ī design feature that may please some is that the bezel which surrounds the screen is pretty slim, compared to those on iPads and Galaxy Tab A slates. With dimensions of 244.5 x 154.3 x 7mm it’s a fairly average size given its screen diameter, and it’s certainly not laptop-sized – in fact we actually managed to fit the tablet into large pockets on certain items of clothing. The choice of materials does mean the device is a little heavy though, at 467g – for reference that’s at least twice as heavy as most smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a glass front with a metal frame and rear, and these materials make it feel hardy, as though it could survive being dropped a few times.
SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S6 FREE
Some retailers offer the tablet’s ‘Book Cover’ folio case free when you buy the device, so it’s worth shopping around. In the regions where it’s available, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite can be easily bought on the Samsung website or Amazon, as well as from certain carriers in each region for the LTE version.
SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S6 PLUS
Both of these prices are for 64GB storage models, which is the only version available in the UK, while in Australia only 128GB slates are available, at AU$649 for Wi-Fi-only and AU$799 with Wi-Fi plus an LTE connection. In the UK the tablet is already available, priced at £349 for the Wi-Fi-only model, or £399 if you want LTE connectivity too. According to Samsung the device will be released ‘Q2’ of this year, which means it should be available by the end of June. In the US the tablet isn’t available at the time of writing, but we know it’ll be released for $349 for its Wi-Fi only version, and it’s likely an LTE version will be released too. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite availability is a little confusing, and it depends quite a bit on where you are.

If, though, you like a snappy user experience, and a stylus experience that isn’t affected by one or two annoying issues, perhaps an iPad is better for you. So the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite isn’t the perfect mid-range slate, but there’s still a lot here to like, and if the features on offer here, like the S Pen, good screen and low price, appeal to you, then it’s certainly worth considering as an alternative to the entry-level iPad.
SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S6 PORTABLE
So if you’re just looking for a portable device for watching movies or TV shows, you could do a lot worse.

None of this affects the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite’s usefulness as a portable entertainment machine though – its display is pretty good for a budget tablet, and it’s also got an aspect ratio that’s better for viewing content than that of many iPads. Check back to TechRadar then to see if that turns out to be the case.Īnother problem is that Android, or at least Samsung’s One UI take on Android, just isn’t as good a tablet operating system as iPadOS, although there are features and perks that might make up for this, especially in the stylus department. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a likely target for price cuts during Black Friday on November 27, during which we're expecting lots of tech to see price reductions.
