Samsung has released a new tablet that is now competing head-on with Apple’s iPad Pro called the Galaxy Tab S6. To help you decide whether to buy Samsung’s latest tablet, here is an overview of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 pros and cons.
Pulse 2.0 Score: 4 out of 5 Stars
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 has received a Pulse 2.0 Score of 4 out of 5 stars. The reason why the score is on the high end is due to the beautiful display, fast processor, and powerful cameras.
Pro: Beautiful Display
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 has a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display, which makes the colors more vivid and offers deeper blacks.
Pro: Speedy Processor
Inside of the Galaxy Tab S6 is a Snapdragon 855 chipset, which is one of the latest and faster processors on the market. This ensures that you can play games, watch videos, and multitask without any noticeable lag.
Pro: Powerful Cameras
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 features two cameras. This includes a 13-megapixel sensor and it also has a 5-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens. And the front of the Galaxy Tab S6 features an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
Pro: Substantial Battery Capacity
The Galaxy Tab S6 has a 7,040mAh battery capacity. And it supports fast charging. This means that you can use the Galaxy Tab S6 for long periods of time without having to fully recharge.
Pro: S Pen Include
The Galaxy Tab S6 features S Pen integration and it is included in the box. This means you don’t have to buy a separate stylus like you have to with the Apple Pencil. Plus the Tab S6 features a nook for you to store the S Pen where it wirelessly charges. Kudos to Samsung on this design.
Pro: High-Quality Audio
The Galaxy Tab S6 features quad AKG speakers. This makes the music listening experience much more immersive than other tablets.
Con: No Headphone Jack
Unlike previous Galaxy tablets, Samsung has decided to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack this time around. So you will have to use Bluetooth audio or the built-in speakers for audio.
Con: Wi-Fi Model Available At Launch
Samsung is launching just a Wi-Fi venison of the Tab S6 at launch. An LTE version will not be available until later this year.
Price And Availability
The Galaxy Tab S6 will be available in the U.S. starting on September 6. And you can pre-order it on August 23.
