    I'm still using the s6 lite 2020 for Uni. I never had a problem with it, but you have to consider some compromises: with big samsung note file (100mb) you have to wait a couple of seconds, the tip of the pen wears pretty fast. Still I use it everyday for about 4+ hours a day and the battery holds for 2 days. Aside for this, a perferct tablet for 200 euros (last year price discount)

      I am using the 2020 version for almost 3 years now. I know it's slower than 2022 version but it still holds up against other non samsung feature packed tablets due to its software experience and free s pen in the box

    Because of your channel, I have finally put my hands on a tab S6 lite. it's way above what I thought. I've read bad comments about light bleed, dull colors, too bright in the dark and not enough under the sunlight, lack of homogeneous colors when you display each color one by one. But to be honest I might have been lucky cause none of this was true despite using the tablet under direct sunlight what I never do even with my phone. Otherwise colors are great, pictures are very sharp and crisp, no light bleed on the 128gb model in my case, plenty enough light to use in the day as long as you are not under direct sunlight, it handles multitasking very well. And it has android 13. Very happy with this tablet, nothing to complain about. Thanks Ivan for guiding me on the right choice. Take care

    I got this tablet late last year, so I've only had it for a few months, and I really appreciate it. Maybe it's because I'm going from the low-end Galaxy Tab A 8.0, but I spent a lot of time trying to decide between this or the Tab S8. I'm happy with it, so I think if the Tab S8 is outside a person's budget, or they don't want to wait for the Tab S9, this is a really good deal.

    • @aze101

      which do you prefer tab A8 or s6 lite ? and what's the range price difference please

    • @PhantomRoxas
      @PhantomRoxas Рік тому +1

      I'm using the 8-inch Tab A from 2017, rather than the Tab A8, because figuring which model is which can be confusing. Of those, I prefer the Tab S6 Lite. If you mean the Tab A8, that starts at $230 for 32 GB, while the S6 Lite ordinarily starts at $350 for 64 GB, but you can currently get it for $250.
      That said, all of these tablets should be getting successors soon, if you want to wait and see how those turn out.
      - The Tab A7 Lite (Haven't mentioned it before, but it's the current small tablet) will be replaced with the Tab A9. It's rumored to have an 8.7" display.
      - The Tab A8 will be replaced with the Tab A9+. No idea about the size, but I would expect about 10.5".
      - The Tab S6 Lite will be replaced with the Tab S9 FE, which is expected to have a 10.9" display.
      So, if you're looking for recommendations, I'd say wait for the Tab A9, Tab A9+, or Tab S9 FE. If you want a tablet now, I'd say get the Tab S6 Lite.

    I have been using this tablet for 2 years now and I use it 80% of the time for streaming. The stereo speakers are excellent but it also still has an audio jack if you dig that. Never had any issues with the battery either. One charge per 2-3 days is enough depending on your usage.
    The other 20% I use it for drawing. Now Samsung's own drawing apps kinda suck from a creative standpoint.You're better off buying Infinite Painter pro ($10 one time purchase. The other drawing apps all have subscriptions). But the Samsungs Notes app is good enough if you just want to write down some notes for school or something.
    I do however had to replace the pen nib of the S-pen after 2 years. But they are cheap to buy from 3rd parties of Amazon for like $4 a package containing 5 nibs. I mainly use the S-pen to keep my screen clean but if you mainly use your fingers you may never need to replace the nib.

Please give me a suggestion. Thank you.

    • @Andymegaara
      @Andymegaara Рік тому +1

      The only problem I've seen so far with the 64GB model is with the Android updates from Samsung in the sense that it takes more and more space each time. With the Android 13 update + the Samsung software skin (One UI 5.1) you are left with half the storage space of the 64GB model. It still works great, though. But it is better to buy an SD card for extra storage space and maybe hold off of future major updates to the operating system that could eat even more space from the main storage (as that is the only one where such updates are stored in. And I think apps can only be installed there as well).
      So, I would say, go for the one with 128GB if you want to have plenty of space for all future updates and many apps. If you don't care about having all future updates and lots of apps, then the 64GB version is a great device to use. Just make sure to buy a SD card to expand the storage space (just for storing files, though, as it seems you can't install apps there).

      At one point I had filled the 64gb to almost 60gb it started lagging,
      When I sifted everything to my SD card, I have about 32gb remaining I have no lag, keep in mind this is the 2019 edition with the weaker exynos chip, gotta say it lasted me much longer than my pervious iPad which has durability issues. However I plan on upgrading to the s9 fe when it comes out, don't consider this outdated tablet now, I too recommend you spend a little more and buy the s9 fe when it comes out if you are planning to buy a budget galaxy tab (s9 fe plus doesn't seem to be worth it)

And for those that have the problem I would love to know just how bad it is or if it is something that you will only notice under extreme conditions? Since I have not heard that the A8 has any of the problems it would be a huge deciding factor for my choice.

I love Samsung ecosystem but they need to do better with budget tablets more space and ram so apps can open quicker and run more smoothly.

      It was $215 for Prime Day, I'd say it's a yes yes

    My brother has s6 lite that i tried to claim for ps2 emulation. Only to find out the specs werent good enough😢 So i had to settle for s7fe(wifi) snapdragon 778 and usb-c to hdmi support. Im hoping overheating wont become a issue for longer sessions.
