A great mid-range tablet for students and casual users, but not quite as impressive as the previous Tab S5e.

Portable and premium design; Responsive performance; S Pen included;

No AMOLED screen; No fingerprint scanner; DeX not included;

We miss the sharper OLED screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, sure, but when that tablet lacks stylus support, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite's inclusion of one in the box makes for a very tempting tablet with sketching and note-taking possibilities.

S-Pen is great for sketching - and comes included; Lovely metal build; Good stereo speakers; Long battery life;

Loses the sharper OLED screen of the Tab S5e/S6; Not as powerful as the cheapest iPad; No Samsung DeX;

Creativity comes easy with the $349.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, the best way to get an active stylus tablet at a relatively low cost. The S6 Lite's included S Pen stylus gives you a pen experience for $80 less than the base iPad plus Apple Pencil, making this tablet a good choice for people doing note-taking or art on a budget. The base iPad remains our Editor's Choice because there's so much more creative software available for that platform, though. The Android tablet world is a little odd. There's a vibrant range of sub-$200 media tablets such as the Amazon Fire line and Walmart's Onn. tablets, but above that, the market is so dominated by various iPads that Android tablets get relatively little air. Samsung is still out there swinging, though, with its low-midrange Tab A line, its high-end Tab S6, and now the 64GB S6 Lite, which competes with the 32GB base model iPad ($329). The tablet doesn't feel low-end. It's made of a classy, matte gray material, measuring 9.6 by 6.1 by...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is an affordable creative and note-taking tablet for users who prefer to stay on the Android side of things.

S Pen stylus included; Rich stereo speakers; Good build quality

Not an OLED display; No hardware keyboard attachment; Poor gaming performance

Tablets these days, including the iPad, don’t have cutting edge designs. Despite improvements to the underlying hardware, most still have giant bezels and designs that haven’t radically changed in close to half a decade. This remains true with the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

Solid build quality, S Pen included, Decent battery life, Samsung apps great for note taking

Underpowered, Android apps not always optimised for tablet form factor

Great all-round performance for the price; Includes a stylus in the box; Speakers have real punch;

Basic iPad has more power; Android not the perfect tablet OS;

The tablet, as hardware, is well made, since it's a Samsung. Having 4GB RAM helps a lot, since anything less would severely hamper any Android version. Battery life is good, depending on what the tablet is used for, but lowering the screen brightness helps extend that.

Great tablet to do everything on charge holds great

It has a good camera and with the right software really provides a professional standard system given that I am old and shake a fair bit but am able to produce good quality phots with this tablet and it is very compatible with all the software that I have used on it thus far.
