Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Leaks and News

The biggest Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite leak takes the form of a rendering, which you can see below. It sounds like it could be an official press release, and if it is, it's further proof that the listing is probably coming soon. As for what it displays, there are black frames along each edge of the screen, and a design that from the front (that's all we saw) looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. You can also see that there is a single-lens front-facing camera, which includes an S Pen.

Exclusive view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite https://t.co/QZWu7EvAuQ27 February 2020 The stylus is notable because although the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is equipped with it, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e is not. So including one here could help the Tab S6 Lite stand out in the mid-range market. The stylus design also resembles the one provided with the Tab S6, which could mean the functionality is the same as well. Therefore, there may be a magnetized slot on the back of the whiteboard to accommodate and charge the pen. It can also support Air Actions, which allows you to interact with the whiteboard by flicking the stylus in the air above the screen. The source of the image above further claims that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite will have a mid-range Exynos 9611 chipset, 4GB of RAM, Android 10, and either 64GB or 128GB of storage, depending on the image. 39 place in the world where you buy it. We've already seen chipset, amount of RAM, and Android version mentioned in a benchmark, so there's a good chance these details are correct.

What we want to see in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

Even assuming the rumors are correct, there is still a lot we don't know about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, but below is what we hope to see.

1. A pencil

Leaks suggest the Tab S6 Lite will have a stylus (Image credit: Future) Based on the leaks, the inclusion of a stylus seems very likely, and we hope there will be one, as this accessory could transform the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite from an intermediate stage. put identikit to something with a real point of sale. It's also likely a much cheaper way to fill out a list of styles than most iPad options or the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. And if the stylus comes with the same technology as in the Tab S6, that will be nice too.

2. A headphone port

Headphone ports are clearly disappearing, but there's an audience for them just as clearly, and on a device as large as a tablet, the argument for removing them is less compelling than on a phone, where every little bit of space matters. . We don't expect the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite to have a headphone port, as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e don't, but it would be nice if that were the case. .

3. A reasonable price

Hopefully the Tab S6 Lite will be a lot cheaper than the Tab S6 (Image credit: TechRadar) Back to areas of functionality likely affordability. We don't expect the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite to be cheap, but it's likely to be priced mid-range, and could even undercut the iPad 10.2. If you do this while including a stylus, Samsung could have a real winner in the cheap Android tablet space.

4. A big screen

If there's one thing Samsung can do right, it's the displays, and even their mid-range slates tend to have good ones, so we're not asking for much with our desire to; a big screen. It's likely to have a ten-plus-inch Super AMOLED screen with QHD+ resolution, and that should be enough for us to consider the big screen, but if Samsung could also integrate HDR support, that would still be better.

5. Keyboard cover

The Tab S6 has a lot of productivity potential. We want the same here (Image credit: Future) As well as a stylus, we'd also like to see the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite launch with an official keyboard cover. But we're not greedy, we don't need it to come with the slate, it can be sold as an option, just like with the standard Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. Even with added expense, the ability to turn the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite into a true productivity device might be extremely desirable for some people, while those who just want a tablet can take advantage of the Tab S6 Lite as-is, without starting. on expensive accessories. .
