   First impressions of this device are solid, the screen is bright, the battery life is impressive, the speakers sound awesome, and the software is feature-rich and well-thought-out. TLDR, a very fairly priced high quality mid-range tablet with great performance, respectable battery life, and a great display.DesignThis tablet is designed very similarly to the nearly double priced Galaxy Tab S6, with the only removal being the pins for the first party keyboard. It does however, gain a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is a must-have for any high quality headphone user. It is made of aluminum and glass, with the only plastic being for the Wi-Fi / LTE antenna bands. Very modern and sleek with minimal bezels that aren’t too small, nor too large making the tablet look dated. However, I wanted to protect this tablet for years to come so I won’t be looking at the bare metal chassis too much, as I purchased a case for it. I recommend doing that, since it will keep the resale value of the device high, and prevent it from being damaged as easily. That and a screen protector are a must-have for this tablet. I recommend the Poetic Revolution case.FeaturesThis tablet features, two speakers tuned by AKG certified for Dolby Atmos, facial and pattern unlock, the latest Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, an 8 megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. No fingerprint reader unfortunately, that is something in the higher-priced regular S6. 64 or 128gb of storage. This tablet also includes a passive S-Pen that does not require charging and can magnetically stick to multiple places on the tablet.SoftwareAs of 2021, this tablet is running Android 10, with Samsung One UI 2.5. Android 10 is a great operating system, but is even better when paired with One UI 2.5. Samsung really knows how to make a good tablet OS, but considering they’re pretty much the only company who’s making decent Android tablets, there’s not much to compare it with. I would be here all day talking about every little detail, and I don’t think I found everything yet. But here’s some of the highlights. Dark mode, smart select which allows you to take screenshots of a custom size using the S-Pen, Samsung Notes which allow you to take notes with the S Pen, allowing apps one time or partial location only when in use, better battery management, better notification handling, and many other things that I haven’t discovered or noticed yet. What you should take away from this, is the operating system is very well-balanced and has very few bugs that I have discovered, Samsung knows what they’re doing.HardwareThe Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is running an Exynos 9611 Octa Core processor (4×2.3GHz + 4×1.7GHz) with 4GB of ram. While the processor is a bit weak, it is acceptable for multitasking and moderate gaming. This tablet runs Minecraft, Terraria, Call of Duty mobile, and Asphalt 9 with decent frame rates. Note it does not run fortnite officially, and unofficially very poorly. Some of that is due to poor optimization, but if you want to game at high settings buy a tab S6 or S7. It is perfectly acceptable for watching videos or TV, and the 4GB of ram makes multitasking very effective. It’s much more powerful than a Fire tab or something cheaper, so it’s certainly very usable.StorageBy default this tablet comes with 64 or 128 GB of storage, with around 20 GB of it being reserved for the system. It has plenty of space for all your apps, and a decent amount of downloaded content. Not to mention it also has MicroSD expansion, which allows you to expand the storage up to 2TB, not that you could actually find 2TB micro SD cards for a decent price, or at all. To save some money, I would recommend buying the 64GB model, and buying an SD card later.ScreenThis tablet is using a 2000 x 1200 resolution LCD display. While it is certainly not an AMOLED display, it is bright, vibrant, and certainly high resolution enough for mostly anybody. It’s actually visibly brighter and sharper than my old Galaxy S6 Edge screen, but that’s a first or second gen OLED. If you want a high-quality OLED screen, buy a tab S5E or S6. It certainly perfect for watching movies or TV, and unless you are directly comparing it with an OLED you won’t notice much difference. There is some slight backlight bleed but it is not noticeable in my unit.BatteryThis tablet is using a 7040mAh lithium ion battery, which is unchanged from the tab S6. So naturally since this tablet has a lower power consumption it’s battery life is slightly better, I went through almost an entire day and still had 35% battery left. As for the battery health, it’s still perfectly fine now, but this tablet is less than a month old, so have yet to see how much it will degrade over time. Charging this tablet has been somewhat interesting. On my original Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge wall adapter it actually fast charges over the spec of the wall adapter. Measured on the app Ampere, the charger is rated for 2.1 amps but the tablet charges at up to 2.6. This shouldn’t be an issue, as the charger has in-built safety features that will shut it off if it gets too hot or if something draws too much current. I’ve also tested it on an Anker Powercore 26800 power bank, and an Anker Powerport Speed 5 USB charger. Interestingly, it does fast charge using the blue ports on my USB charger, it does not fast charge using the black ports nor any of the ports on my power bank. It’s not totally an issue, because it’s only about a 30-minute decrease in time for the fast charging ports, just somewhat annoying. Keeping in mind all of these ports can deliver the current and voltage required to fast charge.CameraThe camera on this tablet is perfectly fine. While it’s no Flagship smartphone camera, it’s certainly good enough for scanning documents or video calling, since I doubt you’re going to be hauling your tablet around taking pictures with it. The rear camera is 8 megapixels, and front facing camera is 5 megapixels. Both 1080P, and the rear shooter can shoot video in 1080P 30fps.S PenAh yes, the S Pen. The S Pen is Samsung’s claim to fame with this tablet, this S Pen is different from the one on the regular S6, as the one on the S6 is active and needs charging for the fancy Bluetooth features. This S Pen however is a passive stylus, made internally by Wacom and licensed to Samsung. Samsung made the right call in this decision, as the S Pen feels great, is well-balanced and not too heavy, and has minimal latency when drawing fast. Even though the S pen is made of plastic, It Is by no means cheap plastic and feels very quality in the hand. It does have replaceable nibs, as it rubs off a little bit on the screen protector I have. If you lose or break your S Pen, since it’s a passive stylus it’s only $60 for a new one. Still expensive, but not too bad. The S-Pen stows away on the side of the tablet with the point facing up, using magnets it is quite a strong hold and the pen is unlikely to fall off unless you bump it. With the case I chose, the pen is still in that location, just with a bit of plastic in the way of the tablet. This is not really affect the magnets, and the pen stays where it’s put. Certain apps don’t support the S Pen, but most of the first party Google ones and Samsung ones do, and Samsung has built in some extra features like screen write, that takes a screenshot and that allows you to write on it immediately, smart select which allows you to capture a custom size screenshots of most content except most streaming services, and some added functionality with Google Translate. I actually found myself using the S-Pen to navigate the tablet, rather than just writing. It’s very precise and easy to use, and easy to put away when you’re done.ConclusionOverall this is an outstanding tablet, a very major upgrade from A Fire tab, or a cheap Chinese one. With it’s relatively low-cost especially if you can get it on sale, decent performance, well thought-out software, large storage with expansion, great LCD display, and free S Pen, this tablet should be a major consideration in anybody’s tablet buying process. 5/5 Stars.

   As I do read what other people say “Daisy”said everything I could say or even more so I will just copy her description, Before that I just want to add that I tried several High end Chinese ones which by the way are impressive on speed and perform quite well to be half price, but if you like quality, Samsung made this model as an affordable one, but still quality of video is excellent, audio best of best for a 10 inch battery an outstanding 7000+ mAh,and so I do recommend it completely. Now I do copy what Daisy wrote as it is an excellent analysis.”Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020* UPDATED REVIEW after I used this tablet for a while now. *First of all, I usually buy my tablets and phones from Amazon, but at the time I wanted to purchase this tablet (the day it was released), it was out of stock, so I purchased it at a store near my home.Also, I am a techy type, so the purpose of my review is to help you to decide if this is the best mid-range tablet for you (or not).Below, I list the Pros and Cons that I discovered.+ Screen Resolution for a TFT Screen and Sharpness…First of all, the Display Screen on the S6 Lite is a TFT type screen, not a Super Amoled Screen, the ORIGINAL S6 Tab 2019, has the Amoled Screen. However at 224 ppi, this screen is clear and has a soft white appearance, NOT a super bright white appearance because of the TFT Screen. Yet I found that the colors are vivid. And watching videos on YouTube, they totally filled up the screen and the videos were super sharp! In addition, reading on the Kindle App is very clear.+ OS is 10.0, UI is 2.1 Samsung. I went to Software Update as soon as I received this tablet and this update enabled the double tap feature to wakeup the screen. Be sure you update it because before the May 2020 security update, the double tap did not work, update fixed it!+ S Pen…The S Pen works great and has several features I like. The S Pen is easy to use, it glides across the screen, no lagging. Also, it doesn’t scratch the screen. To start the S Pen, just hold the Pen on the right side of the tablet, about a quarter inch away. Then touch the SPen Icon for the menu of the SPen features.* The SPen DOES NOT require charging, pairing etc. In fact I keep my S Pen in my Chiffion Rose Samsung Book Cover Case because it has a magnetic slot inside for the S Pen.+ Size of tablet/Screen Ratio1. l love this 10.4 size tablet because it easily fits into my large purse or my bookbag/backpack.2. Screen Ratio is 81.6%. The bezels are very slim.This screen is wonderful for watching videos, movies, reading and I use it for MS Word, Excel and more.+ It has a 3.5 Headphone Jack! The Samsung S6 Flagship (2019) and Samsung S5e (2019) DO NOT have a 3.5 headphone jack! This is just one of the many reasons why I purchased this tablet. With Bluetooth Headsets, they must be charged and sometimes they don’t last that long.+ Internal Memory/ External Memory Card Info–this tablet is advertised at 64GB Internal Memory. However, after the OS and Factory Apps and my own apps were installed, I still have 44GB of available internal memory. This is plenty of space for future apps, updates etc.+ Memory Card storage…I discovered that I can install an SD Card up to 1 TB. However, I installed (for now) a 128GB and still have 40gb left on it.+ Speed/Responsiveness/Battery Temp/Battery Life…This tablet is very peppy, does not lag or freeze.Battery is non removable, and it does not overheat even with downloading apps, watching videos etc. Under normal use it is 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and after downloading apps, watching videos etc, it goes up to 90 degrees for a minute or two, which is normal, and it quickly goes back down to 80 to 85. I use the free widget called Battery Widget Reborn from the Playstore. It shows my battery amount left on my screen and when I tap it, it gives a report of how long the battery has been used and the time left on the battery.+ Battery Life: The battery is 7040 mAh, after it reached 100%, I discovered that the battery lasted longer than my Samsung Tab A 10.1 2019.+ WiFi…802.11 a/b/g/n, ac dual-band. I use ATT UVERSE and this tablet has superb and fast WiFi. Even outside in my backyard, it still gets 3 bars. I am very pleased with this tablet’s WiFi. Also, on the road, it picks up local WiFi wonderfully.+ Camera…Note that this camera does not have a flash, however, with good lighting, the pictures and videos I took with it were pretty clear, not as good as my Samsung A51 Phone, but better than I thought they would be.+ Sound Quality…there are 2 small internal speakers so the sound is good, however I also tested the sound with a Bluetooth speaker and the sound is wonderful. Even my wired headphones sound great on this tablet.Cons (3):1. Biggest CON I noticed is NO Super Amoled Screen like the 2019 Tab S6 has, instead it has a regular back-lit TFT screen which is not quite as “bright white” as my old Samsung S4 with Super Amoled. The S6 Lite is more like a very soft white, but in my opinion, the screen DOES NOT have any yellowish tint, just a softer white.2. Screenshots…To take a Screenshot, I have to QUICKLY press the Power Button and Volume Down button at the same time. However, my Tab A Tablet, A51 Phone let’s me swipe the edge of my hand across the screen, this tablet won’t do this. Hopefully, the next update will fix this. Right now, I am used to quickly pressing Power Button and Volume Down buttons for a screenshot.3. No DEx…The desktop/laptop feature is not there for the S6 Lite. Frankly I rarely used DEx on my Tab S4.* Should you consider purchasing this S6 Lite tablet?Personally, I suggest YES if:1. You don’t have to have a Super Amoled screen like the S6 regular has and you want to buy a reasonably priced Samsung Tablet.2. You want a very nice mid range tablet with the S Pen feature.3. You want to spend about 350 on a tablet instead of 750 on a tablet (for the Flagship Tab S6).4. You want a 3.5 Headphone Jack, the S6 Lite has it. The Tab S6 and Tab S5e Tablets do not have a 3.5 Headphone Jack.My overall score is 4.6 stars, rounded off to 5 stars mainly due to non Super Amoled Screen, but I knew this BEFORE I PURCHASED THE TABLET.Well, I hope that this review has helped with your decision regarding this tablet. Thank you for reading my review.”

   Why was it all in Chinese?
   When we received the product, it had a white screen with writing all in Chinese! No icons as it was the Start up.It was impossible to read anything. It took me hours to work out how to get to the icons and change the language settings to English. Even then other things popped up in Twainese. How can a seller send an expensive item to the UK from the US in such a different language? If would have cost too much to send it back!

   Una tablet económica y útil principalmente para estudiantes o multimedia
   Llevo más de un año con la tablet, la compré para complementar mis estudios universitarios (realizar apuntes y leer libros y/o documentos en PDF) y para visualizar de vez en cuando contenido multimedia en apps como HBO, Prime Video y para estos fines es realmente una excelente opción. Su procesador no es tan potente pero es entendible al ser una tablet de entrada. Para los fines que describí, es una excelente opción si no tienes pensado invertir tanto en una tablet. Si tu requieres una tablet para jugar videojuegos o para realizar trabajos de mayor importancia entonces tal vez no sea para ti, ya que la pantalla también es un poco pequeña.Un detalle que encontré para esta tablet es el hecho de que no permite la salida de video mediante HDMI, algo que yo necesitaba para evitar llevar mi laptop a la universidad para realizar presentaciones y que pensé que me ahorraría con la tablet pero no fue así. Al parecer para abaratar el dispositivo, el fabricante eliminó una tecnología que permite la salida de video por el puerto USB C de la tablet. La única opción que está disponible para poder compartir contenido desde la tablet es mediante la transmisión por la red WiFi por un chromecast o si hay alguna TV que esté conectada a internet, pero esto obviamente requiere que ambos dipositivos (Tablet y TV/Proyector/Chromecast) estén conectados a la misma red WiFi, cosa que a veces no está disponible en la mayoría de lugares.
