Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Review

Productivity in a different light
Inspired by an article written by Goldman, J. on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite , from Cnet.com his review was that…..
The pen is as comfortable to hold as a regular pen. It’s responsive, with little discernible lag in my experience. I’m not much more than a doodler when it comes to illustration, but I loaded up Autodesk’s Sketchbook to test out the S Pen and was able to draw straight lines without jitter, accurately shade with varying amounts of pressure and create broad or narrow strokes by angling the tip. My biggest issue was that it didn’t reject my palm on the screen incredibly well, so I would accidentally open menus or move my drawing on occasion.Â
As a productivity tool, the S Pen is great. You can write notes on the screen without unlocking the tablet or launch the Notes app or other pen-enabled tools from the onscreen Air command shortcut that appears when you hover the pen over the display.
I used the pen to write a chunk of this review in Google Docs using the built-in handwriting-to-text translation. Similarly, you can highlight your writing in the Notes app and have it turned into text. Your results will vary based on how sloppy your handwriting is, but it does work well. While I was watching a slide presentation recently, I used the Smart Select tool to draw a box around a slide, which could then be used to extract text from the slide. With the Screen Write option, I could take a screenshot of the presentation and then write notes on the picture to include more details
Like I said earlier, you can be productive with the S6 Lite without a keyboard and mouse, you just have to take advantage of what the S Pen can do. It’s good for travel, Basically what I’m getting at is you don’t necessarily need to spend more for the higher-end Tab S6 just to get a good tablet for work.
Pen-down play
Tablets are generally great for entertainment and the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is no different. When you’re ready to put the S Pen down and relax, the 10.4-inch LCD and the AKG-tuned speakers with Dolby Atmos support look and sound first-class for the money. The top-notch Super AMOLED display and quad-speaker system on the higher-end Tab S6 are better, but the Lite will likely be fine for most.
Battery life is another plus for the tablet. In our streaming video test, the S6 Lite ran for 11 hours, 17 minutes with the display brightness set to 50% and the audio played through earbuds with the volume set to 50%.
In the end, with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite you’re getting an all-around tablet that’s good for both entertainment and productivity. It might not replace a laptop like, but you can easily use it for classes, commuting and more — especially if you’re ready to pick up the pen.
