Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite shows up on Best Buy Canada for $429.99

The recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite makes its appearance on Best Buy's Canadian website ahead of its launch. According to Best Buy, the tablet will retail for $429.99, and it'll be released on May 8. The variant available is a 64GB model in Angora Blue. We aren't sure yet if the other colour options will be available as well. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite hasn't shown up on other Canadian retailer sites, however. But if the May 8 release stands, then we should see it show up on other websites soon.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is powered by an Exynos 9611 processor, 4GB of RAM, and Android 10 with Samsung's One UI 2.1. It features a 10.4-inch LCD with a 2,000 x 1,200 resolution. It comes with an 8-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel selfie shooter. It also has a USB-C port to charge its 7,040mAh battery, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Bluetooth connectivity. As seen in the product shot above, it also comes with an S Pen (the cover will be sold as a separate accessory).
