Nice I have one too I like it. I actually have a Tab S8 ultra which towers over any if the tabs I own but I like how compact the 6 lite is and it's actually snappy with a good screen for content viewing. I never use tablet outdoors so the lighting always works for me
I'm on my tab s7 and my s6 I sold to my friend. My friend LOVED it! Most of his workmates are on iPad and they were amazed on what my friend can do with the tablet, basically leaving his work laptop to do all the work on his s6. I'm on my tab s7 and still haven't upgraded because it's so capable that I don't think I have the need to upgrade it yet. It does VM - where mainly my work is done. It has data so I can take my work anywhere in the world as long as there is signal and the performance is just good. It does everything I want it to do.
You can use the S6 as a second screen. You can to enable it. I use it all the time. Open “Smart View” then tap the screen about 5 times. This brings up another menu where you can select “Second Screen”
Picked this up for the OLED screen, for some reason 99% of tablets are LCD/IPS unless you're spending close to $1000. This can be found used for $200-$300, simply unmatched for the price
How is the general performance for everyday multimedia consumption.. does it fly through or lags? I literally just sold my tab S8 ultra as it was comically large for any portability and I ended up not using it at all.. now looking to buy a cheap portable table with a good screen and speakers... Everything else does not matter..
@@HasNiHassaan Very rarely slows down even when doing some gaming, only had a couple instances during very long extended sessions, and it was easily fixed after a restart. I have the 6gb ram model but there is one with 8gb I believe.
Good review and fair comments...my Tab S6 has worked out very well for my needs. Last year I got my wife a Tab S6 from eBay and it has been flawless for her needs. I love the size of my Tab S6, the resolution is excellent, the aspect ratio suits my viewing. The feature I enjoy most is the 4x speakers and Dolby Atmos built-in. Some of these features are are not in the newer models Samsung now offers, at this size. I highly recommend this specific model. The reason it is hard to find, well, is because it is still serving users well. I'd buy it again, unless I decide in the future, that I want a bigger screen. Then, I'd stay with Samsung because I've enjoyed other models of Tab S over the years...they all are well made and worth the extra price. Blessings, all.
I have this one. I love the AMOLED screen for watching videos and movies, but my only drawbacks are the software version and the fact that it lags a little bit every now and then. Otherwise a great tablet even today
Im thinking on buying this! Thank ou so much for the review i found a cheap price for it and it already comes with a keyboard spen and a mouse, Anyways Thank you for your help😊
I have the same keyboard and i absolutely love it ! Little tip for the back... Press it on and then leave it alone for some minutes before you use it. For me this works great and i have barely any trouble with it ... Never had to use tape... And i love that you can put it at any angle you want ... 😊
What are your reviews for Android 12, One UI 4.1 functioning? I've the tab put hold on Android 11 cuz I'm hesitant go update (worried about battery draining issue, as I use it for studies)...?
I still have my Galaxy Tab S6 since 2019 and it still works great. I also have gripes with the the bookcover keyboard and that some keys on my bookcover keyboard aren't working. Still works well for my daily needs especially for drawing/artwork needs. Still do a bit of gaming sessions on it, but mostly is now on Drawing/Artwork so I don't think I need to upgrade
@@johnvarghese6343 After checking, there are none after 2023. I use it now mostly as a Drawing Tablet but do abit of gaming on the side and a few daily things with it. I can wait a year or two when I REALLY need/want to change it

I bought used Tab S6 WiFi for less than 220 USD last year with keyboard cover and used for 8 months, since then I use my iPad mini 6 less and less. As a media consumption device Tab S6 OLED still rules!!
Still going strong today, battery life brilliant, performance great. Only thing it's missing is security updates, if only android had an optional security software like windows defender or something.
Looking to buy a used one now! To go along side my ipad 6 2018 great combo best of both worlds 🌎 😅 It's amazing how cheap you cam get these now £80 on ebay!!
You've got to make sure you're taking software into account. You might be able to find a newer FE model for around the same price which might be a better choice
Saludos desde México 😊 Yo creo que esta Samsung galaxy tab S6 es mejor que la S7 y la S8 porque tiene excelente procesador, sonido y aparte una pantalla amoled que ni la s7 ni la s8 tienen. Creo que actualmente incluso es la mejor en su tamaño por tener pantalla de altisima calidad y excelente precio. Si quieres una tablet de entre 10 y 11 pulgadas de pantalla que sea amoled solo tienes esta o la S9 que le triplica el precio. 😊
I have a Funkey S Emulator. I can play games easy on this. It is one of the smallest emulators of the world. You just have to adapt. Smaller Things are good. Asking for BIG accessories for Tablets small in size is NUTS. Tables are not for YOU, because you aren't able to adapt.
@@TKItech LG & Motorola also has a Desktop Mode. I heard Motorola actually has a really nice set up with Ready For. I have a Motorola OG Atrix HD and I was reading last night that for a 12 yo device Motorola has a great desktop experience which included a Linux setup.

Hi do you think it’s safe to keep using tab s6 now no more security updates? And will the apps still run ok for a few years on android 13? Please help and thanks anyone else who can answer my questions
@Samsung has arguably downgraded/sidegraded since the Tab S6. Every device since, there are screen quality issues, weight issues, and sharper edges on the newer tablets making them less appealing that the Tab S6 for every day use. If Samsung would simply make a spec-updated Tab S6, match or better the weight, smooth edges, and OLED+ screen, I'd be all in.
I bought the tab s6 lite last year and it still looks and feels modern

Have had mine since 2019, still works great! Unless it breaks or explodes I'm not "upgrading" to a new one lol
So ahead of its time
Just found one with 8 gb ram with keyboard etc for 200 bucks which I think is a steal in good condition
Where you bought it ?
i am using S6 to watch this video 😅. It is very good for watching UA-cam 😊
When did you buy it, and how much?
