The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a lot going on under the ‘Lite’ name tag and for the starting price of Rs 27,999. It offers good battery life, decent performance, best-in-class sound output, acceptable camera quality and a display that won’t let you down for almost anything.

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

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 Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite bundles in a decent keyboard cover and stylus while offering a large display, great battery life and offers a fair compromise of performance and capabilities for what you pay for.

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
