Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 26.31 cm (10.4 inch), Gray & Galaxy Buds Live Bluetooth Truly Wireless in Ear Earbuds with Mic, Upto 21 Hours Playtime, Mystic Black

Only average thing about this is the TFT display other than that great battery and software experience. Audio quality is superb. The S -pen bundled with this tab feels cheap but Hey! atleast it comes with one. It comes with a <10W charger which is kinda weird.

If you’re a student or an occasional multimedia consumer then it’s the best choice. Feels slightly overpriced, (typical Samsung) but I suggest that you wait until season sale or something Or you can get Student discounts offered by Samsung (I’ve got it for ₹18.5k on Amazon festive deals).

Over all good

Its value for money. Have fast charging option. Note feature is amazing. No need of external keyboard. Battery backup is excellent. I am very happy with the performance after 1 week of use.

Update: Recently the company hiked the prices from 23999 to 28999 (Amost 4k) this doesn’t make any sense for a mid range tab like this hence I have reduced 2 stars from the review, I don’t want to mislead people thinking it’s still the best tab. Currently in 20k to 30k you should consider Xiomi pad or IPad because by today’s standards 4gb ram might be okay but for movies games and education purposes 64 gb storage is less, it has sd card support but having 64gb inbuilt is kind of scam for a 28k tab

——Old review——-
At present 20k to 30k tab market makes no sense in india
You can find a ipad in this range, SD 800 series or a below avg SD/600 series with 5g stuff

But why did I opt for a galaxy tab when there were so many more sensible option?

Of course it’s sensible so sensible I brought 2 tabs, 1 for myself from local store and 2nd one for my sibling from Amazon with exchange offer

Coming to pros

The screen-
Not oled but when you look at it you will feel right at home, not too bright not too washed out, accurate colors and a protable 10 inch form factor. Bezels are just right not too fat not too thin, extremely thin bezels block certain screen parts when you hold it with both hands with thumbs/quarter palm on the screen.

The S pen-

I doesn’t matter if you previously used any other digital pens, or this is your first- you are gonna love it, great for taking notes, excellent for sketch and drawing too.
Honestly the cherry on top is the s pen comes in box unlike many many greedy companies which make you spend additional 5k or astonishingly 10k on them.
Before this I was using the dell active pen which came with my 2 in 1 laptop but after using the s pen I guess I can never go back to it. Good thing is it doesn’t need any pairing or battery and works right from beginning.

The hardware-

Honestly I know people feel 4gb/64gb (57-58 usable)is hell of a less at 25k price, what they don’t understand is this tab is specifically targeted for students, taking notes or craming for exams won’t even take 5gb. Most of us have a smartphone, you gotta remember a tab is just a bigger smartphone and screens are expensive as larger they get and for the quality they provide

Sd 700series with model 732G is more than enough for even heavier tasks, I ran Genshin Impact for 3 hrs straight on medium setting 30 fps and didn’t had any stuttering or lags, though the tab will get warm or hot depending on room Temps. Now whoever said 4gb ain’t enough to run demanding games on Android please show your faces XD .

Audio-

Comes with Dolby atmos, 3.5mm jack what more you need? Seriously…..

Coming to cons.

The battery-

It ain’t oled and it’s a big screen so….bye bye battery.
I usually get 5 hrs on intense use and around 9-10 hrs SoT (screen on time) on menial usage, so keep that power bank or charger nearby

Weight-

When I came from 2 in 1 laptop (1.5 kg) I expected the tab to be lighter of course it was 1 kg lighter but still I feel I’m holding a 500g bornvita pack all the time….not funny and strains my hands,shoulders…etc hope the successor will be more lightweight if there is ever going to be one.

Bloatware-

Comes with tons and I literally mean it, tons of bloatware you gotta manually Uninstall them or disable them to save battery and storage.

Camera-

The front, the back and the horrible mic. Both cams are like 460p quality and mic allows too much noise during calls

The final words—

Who should buy it?

Students, working professionals, music lovers, binge watchers, novice artists.

Who should avoid it?

Gamers (even if it can run all games you will be left with no storage and SD card storage will be slower)
, professional Artists, Apple fans (lol), people who need more storage.

Alternatives to S6

If you have a lower budget I suggest checking out oppo pad air, or if you want to bump up your spending and buy a more expensive tab you can check the galaxy siblings tab s7+ or tab s8.
