Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite: With cuts (mostly) in the right places, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is the Android tablet to beat

Great price; S Pen stylus included; Excellent battery life

No AMOLED screen; No DEX support

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

slim chassis; S-Pen included; high-contrast TFT screen; good stereo sound; long battery runtime

no fingerprint scanner; no NFC; mediocre Wi-Fi receiving performance; good camera pictures require daylight; limited performance for modern games; throttling under load

For tablet users who love the idea of sketching and note-taking but don't want to pay another £90 for an Apple Pencil, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a great buy. However, some small tracking errors, an LCD screen and Android niggles prevent the Tab S6 Lite from ranking with the best

Includes S Pen stylus; Excellent for artists and note-takers; Good sound with 3.5mm headphone jack

LCD screen; not OLED or AMOLED; Imperfect writing-to-text software; Some palm rejection issues

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

A well-rounded and sensibly-priced tablet that almost goes toe-to-toe with the entry-level iPad. Android isn't quite as slick as iOS on bigger screens, but the Tab S6 Lite is still a great value device for streaming and sketching

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

This mid-range tablet is perfect for anyone looking for a streaming or light productivity device, especially with the inclusion of the S Pen

There’s a lot of value in Samsung’s base-level tablet, but you have to want it

Excellent build quality and size; Included SPen is a nice touch; Great battery life

The screen could be a little better; Android on tablets is not great; Not a speed demon

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite brings you the S Pen essentials in a compact body with an easy-to-swallow price tag

Affordable tablet with excellent stylus experience; Light; comfy design for on-the-go work; Great speakers

Performance is choppy; No DeX; no Themes; no Game Launcher; Don't expect a Keyboard Book Cover for this one; No secure biometric lock
