I bought my S6 Lite 2022 Edition (WiFi+LTE 128GB ROM/4GB RAM) last March 2023 for around $275.
I mainly use it for my digital drawing hobby and I'm happy with its decent specs and performance.

If you're someone who's looking for a multimedia tablet to use for digital art and you're on a budget then the S6 Lite 2022 model is a good option.
It comes with an S-Pen that uses pen pressure technology so you can draw thin or thick lines on the fly and more.

Other multimedia tablets in the same price range that also have pen pressure technology you need to separately purchase a special stylus that is priced probably between $50-100.

Im still using my 10.1 2014 edition so this s6 lite will be like a Bentley for me. Lol

[ShaiyanHossain]

i got this for my sister for her to use in lieu of a notebook for college and so far its been great. especially now since they're $250 at many stores. the S pen is super useful and I prefer writing wth it (I also have a tab s9 for myself) much more than the Apple Pencil lol. its also cool how they still kept the headphone jack and sd card for this. the speakers arent half bad either. for a student id say this is a MUCH better value than those e-notebook things that don't cost that much less than this

I just got one Jan 2024, works great for me.

I bought my Samsung Tab S6 Lite 64 GB (One UI Version 5.1, Android version 13) on sale last year for less than $250. I use this tablet at home for email, text messaging, internet browsing and watching YouTube videos. The main attraction for me is having the speakers located on the left and right sides of the tablet when it is in landscape mode. These two speakers are adequate for general listening and a Bluetooth speaker can also be used.

My main problem with this tablet is that the power button is located too close to the speaker volume controls. I sometimes accidentally turn off the tablet when attempting to adjust the speaker volume. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Just got my tab s6 lite last week, it updated itself to Android 13 and it's pretty amazing so far

If the iPad 9th gen had stereo speakers, it would be the better option. But the fact that this has good speakers on both sides, comes with the S-Pen, and has USB-C, it’s the better budget option. Especially when it goes down to $250 as it often is.

Here's something I just discovered by accident on my Samsung Tab S6 Lite that may not be in the owner's manual. When the tablet is off, I can give the screen two quick taps and the intro wallpaper appears just as it does when the ON/OFF button is pressed. Next, I swipe the screen to the right, enter my PIN and the home screen appears. This is how I now turn the tablet on.

Amazon had this on sale a few months back for $214 and I jumped on it. :) It's pretty decent. I do wish that it was closer to 8 inch than 10 inch with the same resolution specs (I think that would make the screen images look better), with the ability to connect to a monitor. I wish I would utilize the S Pen more but I'm just not that kind of user. Overall, can't beat the price and the offering combo.

I got mine the other week at Walmart for $249. For the price I'm happy with it. I can confirm that I have the 732 chipset, and performance is satisfactory for my use (watching movies and YouTube, reading digital manga/comics, browsing the web, etc.). I do wish they made an updated version of the Galaxy Tab S5e, as I'd happily trade the Spen and Samsung Dex (neither of which I ever use) for an Oled screen and quad speaker setup. I've had a number of tablets over the years and overall that was my favorite.

[julianeves]

its absolutely crazy how this is a low end product in the US! Im looking to buy this in brazil, and let me tel you, it is a LUXURY product lol

Im glad i made recent Amazon black friday purchase- New 128gb 2022 version for $219.
Great tablet out of box but got better couple days ago with Android 14 update.
It runs smoother with battery life increase.
Good times

I just got a refurb for about $160. It's arriving today and I am really excited. I am upgrading from an S3. Still a decent tablet but it is showing its age.

I got mine for 340$ in Korea on sale this year. What I like is that it is not WiFi only but LTE so I can insert simcard if I want to. Didn't want to miss the chance cuz normally LTEs are quite expensive.. and simcard availability did make it attractive although the specs aren't the top notch

[marenrnningen]

I was in desperate need for a tablet for school and bought it full price in 2023. No regrets yet

[madsleonardholvik]

I've had mine for 1 week. It's great, except that the wifi connection range is bad. It won't work properly many places in my house where my phone and pc works no problems. I googled it and seems to be a problem for many users. I'm very surprised this is not mentioned in reviews.

[fawadtariqq]

In case anyone's wondering. All A series tablets DO NOT SUPPORT pen input. Even if you have an S Pen it just won't work on the display.

Pen-supported display in itself is a feature. Hence you either get amoled or pen support on a budget tablet

[blackbeardjay]

I'm glad I switch from the A8.. I was skeptical at 1st but it was worth it

[mortenhyvejle]

I used the very first Galaxy note tablet (think it was only 8" screen) with stylus for 9 year's, 5 of those year's my daughter used it for playing...most of the time it was in the charger while she played due to that the battery wasn't good anymore. I'm very impressed with Samsung. Their products last longer than Sonys and are more reliable.

I love my tab s6 lite that I purchased January 2023 I think. I love the s pen and just all around love my tablet. I've never had a higher end model so this works for me. My biggest complaint is the no fingerprint lock a well. I really wish it had that.
