The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a fantastic tablet. It's powerful yet terrifically light and portable, it offers great battery life – and it works out cheaper overall than the equivalent 11in iPad Pro.

Android tablets are not the best option on the market for many people due mostly to Google's own failings but a review of Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6 shows that it isn't the usual tablet. For those who absolutely must have Android and must have a tablet, Samsung, it turns out, has you covered.
