Samsung has officially unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, a more affordable sibling of the Galaxy Tab S6,
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite comes with a 10.4-inch 2000 x 1200 display, just a touch smaller than the standard Tab S6. This new device also comes with an S Pen stylus, but it doesn’t feature the same groove in the back of the device to house the stick as the Tab S6 does.
The battery on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is 7,040mAh, which Samsung says will last for 13 hours of video playback or 12 hours of internet use.
The front-facing camera on the tablet is 5MP, which rises to 8MP for the rear camera, and while none of them hold a candle to the more high-res options on the non-Lite slate, they’ll likely be enough for your video calling needs.
In terms of software, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite offers up Android 10 and Samsung’s One UI 2.1 skin.
The new S Pen has a refreshed design that makes it as practical and comfortable to use as a traditional pen. Weighing only 7.03g, the new S Pen is light and easy-to-use, and its improved pen latency and 0.7mm pen tip deliver greater precision for notetaking and drawing.
When you’re finished capturing your ideas, the S Pen snaps magnetically onto the side of the tablet, or to the optional book cover case, making it easy to use without the concern of misplacing it. The S Pen on the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is also battery-free, so you never have to worry about losing charge when using your S Pen.
“We understand how busy modern life can be, as our work becomes more flexible and blends with our personal time. Consumers need a versatile device that can integrate seamlessly into their everyday lifestyle,” said Woncheol Chai, SVP and Head of Product Strategy Team, Mobile Communication Business, Samsung Electronics.
“The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and the new S Pen are packed with the latest technology to help people stay organised, multitask and capture ideas effortlessly, allowing them to spend time on what matters most to them.”
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is priced at £349/$350 for the 64GB storage, 4GB RAM tablet with wi-fi, or £399/$400 for the LTE (or 4G) enabled model.
