The side mounted button serves several functions that include a selection tool, mouse click and eraser. Hovering it a few millimetres above the screen, brings up a cursor,which follows the tips. The stylus can even be used as an air mouse. Its quite precise too, which should be to the liking of creative types who enjoy drawing or sketching.

The tip glides over the screen, with just the right amount of friction, which inspires confidence. Samsung’s ‘pencil’ though a passive one, is really good for what it is. It’s a good choice for media consumption, performing flawlessly for video streaming, browsing the internet, reading e-magazines or committing to art drawings.Įssentially, the Tab S6 Lite’s primary purpose revolves around the use of its stylus. The Lite’s screen may not be an AMOLED panel, but is bright enough and produces vibrant colours. The cheaper Tab A (2019), despite having a smaller screen, feels heavier and more cumbersome to use. It has a nice weight to it too, which makes it feel good in the hand and convenient to carry. Like the Tab S6, the Tab S6 Lite, is a really well built tablet, made of solid aluminum and featuring aesthetics that pay homage to older industrial designs. The magnetic pull isn’t great, but good enough to keep it anchored to the tablet’s base. Visually, there very subtle differences between the two, the most notable of which being the recessed section on the rear, that seats the stylus. Now, the Tab S6 Lite, the less expensive version of its bigger brother, will whet most consumers’ appetite. But its pricetag is out of reach for the average consumer. It’s a really good tablet, the best as far as Android was concerned. And the the fruit of its labor was the Tab S6. Despite the various set backs, it has chosen to soldier on. This is why Samsung’s perseverance in this area is more than commendable. Google, the company with more money than God’s accountant, threw in the towel late last year, because they felt that trying to catch up with Apple was frivolous endeavor. It is this superiority that have caused dwindling sales figures of Android tablets. And with each passing year, the technology behind them is continually being improved, which puts them in a different league compared to what Android has to offer. The are several different versions of them to choose from, that cater to a variety of users.

Apple’s venerable iPad is arguably the most popular tablet in the world.
