Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6 Lite shows up online on official site

Yes, Samsung is still making tablets. After unveiling the Galaxy Tab S6 back in July, the Korean tech giant released a more pared-down version in the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Its listing showed up on Samsung Indonesia's site, but it seems to have been taken down by the time of this writing.

The tablet features a unibody metal design with a 10.4-inch 2,000 x 1,200-pixel LCD. It's a 0.1-inch smaller than the regular Tab S6 and its Super AMOLED panel with a 2,560 x 1,600-pixel resolution. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite also loses an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Samsung doesn't mention the processor powering the Lite model but says it has an octa-core processor with a maximum clock frequency of 2.3GHz.  GSMArena speculates it is an Exynos 9611 chipset. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite comes with 4GB RAM onboard with either 64GB or 128GB storage. While it has less RAM and smaller capacity storage than the Galaxy Tab S6, it has expandable storage of up to 1TB.

This slate runs on Android 10 with One UI 2.0 out of the box. It offers Samsung Knox. If you have a Samsung smartphone running on Android Pie or higher with at least 3GB of RAM, you can even answer calls and reply to text messages from this tablet.

On the camera front, you get an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie shooter in front. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite comes with Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi, and LTE connectivity. It has a 3.5mm audio jack and AKG-tuned speakers with Dolby Atmos. Expect a long battery life with its 7,040mAh battery, which charges via USB-C.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite comes with an S Pen stylus. Samsung plans to sell a Book Cover that connects to the tablet magnetically. It even has a slot for the S Pen, making it easier to carry around. 

It will come in three colour options: Oxford Gray, Chiffon Pink, and Angora Blue. Details about pricing and availability weren't seen yet. And according to the Indonesian Samsung page, it comes with a four-month free YouTube Premium subscription.
