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

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

Samsung is the only manufacturer interested in producing high-end Android tablets, but last year, the company added a slightly cheaper option to its Tab S lineup. The Galaxy Tab S5e retained the high-quality AMOLED screen and thin design of Samsung's highest-end models, but lacked the Tab S4's...

Design The Tab S6 Lite is built well, despite the budget-ish price. The screen is also decent; Stylus The S Pen works similarly to the pen on Galaxy Note phones, complete with pressure sensitivity and a button for performing actions in apps; Battery This tablet just keeps going.

Missing features The Tab S6 Lite sacrifices some functionality from the Tab S6/Tab S5e in the name of reduced costs — there's no fingerprint sensor, no pogo connectors for keyboard accessories, and no AMOLED screen; Software There still aren't many Android apps specifically optimized for tablets.
