Galaxy Tab S6 Lite vs. Galaxy Tab S8 - Which Should You Buy?

[@kimberly9807]

I literally just bought the Tab S6 Lite yesterday! Really liking it so far.

[@FishBeeProductions]

Nice choice!

[@Danmandingo]

*Just wish I could find a 8-10" tablet, with a nice AMOLED screen, high refresh rate, and a headphone jack.* 🔥

[@doyanramen]

Hope xiaomi made an 8" with that specs soon.....

[@Andromeister27]

Closest thing to that is an ipad Mini, but very rare for a Android tablet. I really want a high end specs 8" mini tablet just for portability reasons.

Whiners, geesh

[@P_L_A_Y]

@@georgedavall9449 What would you do then? I'll have to buy that old Tab S6, because Samsung leaves me no other choice

[@cynthiachou6626]

Thank you for this! I have the S6 Lite and have been researching endlessly to determine whether I should upgrade, but no one else had posted anything similar (comparing these two models). So thank you! 😊

[@CMDai1]

Same here, holding s6 , eyeing s8

[@graciedancer3952]

Same... Have the s6 lite and am thinking about upgrading. Did you upgrade?

[@cynthiachou6626]

I upgraded, but ended up going for a different tablet: the Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2. It is *significantly* better, but it's hard to describe without using a new tablet. I found that gaming was higher quality and smoother, apps opened faster, and the screen was a lot better. Pen experience and "Productivity Mode" (Dex) were also surprisingly good. Fishbee Productions has another comparison video comparing the P11 Pro Gen 2 with the S6 Lite. I'm sure you'd experience the same sorts of things by upgrading from the S6 Lite to the S8, but I didn't feel that the S8 had enough to justify its normal price. For an average user, I'd say the Lenovo tablet more than meets one's needs. For context, I mostly use mine for gaming, writing, and coding. The P11 Pro Gen 2 has a similar build shape, but a slightly bigger + OLED screen to the S8, and I can't recommend it enough! Give it some thought if you're considering upgrading and are willing to go outside of the Samsung ecosystem!

[@BloodyRosesx]

Doing the same here I have an s6 lite and I just purchased an s8. I got it at a discount because I had alot to trade in plus discounts from my job.

[@Blakearmin]

​@@cynthiachou6626came here after eyeing some new tablets. Have a Samsung phone, watch, and headphones and thought about the s6 lite because I'm not about to drop half a grand on a tablet. But now I'm scoping out the p11

[@ShubhamYadav-zg1et]

I just bought tab s8 and it's so far killing it!! Really powerful running very smooth nd this spen Is amazing, but if you are a student mainly concerned with note taking and lecture consumption, s6 is a real good tablet with all the goods at much cheaper rate, you'll hardly notice any difference.

[@suhassnn2231]

Is it performing at the same level still or decreased

[@ShubhamYadav-zg1et]

No decrease at all, I'm getting constant updates on software. And is running as new as it was. Just had to change spen tip once only.

[@PeacefulPulse6075]

​@@ShubhamYadav-zg1etI'm looking to purchase tab S8 specifically for digital illustration and drawing please can you tell me whether you use s pen with or without tempered glass?

[@ShubhamYadav-zg1et]

@@PeacefulPulse6075 runs smoother without tempered glass, but will be advisable to use one.

[@TheEpigGamer1]

Sounds that the tab s8 has double the RAM and double the storage options as the tab s6 lite (4 gb RAM with 64/128 gb storage for s6 lite vs 8 gb RAM with 128/256 gb storage for tab s8)

[@thedigitalplanner]

I have the Tab S6 Lite as well as the S7 Fe. I like them both but I grab my S6 Lite more than the S7 Fe. I use the larger tablet mainly for my illustrations and nth else.

[@FishBeeProductions]

Nice choice!

[@Uriel6178]

Perfect comparison; was also an S6 Lite buyer (got the 2022 Android 12 refresh for about $150 on ebay refurbished) that was curious about upgrading. I only wanted it for note-taking and productivity, and honestly it's near-perfect. Near-perfect, however, is obviously not "perfect" and was a little curious on whether it was worth it. Honestly just wish the S6 had 8GB of ram; it's unfortunately sluggish relative to my phone (an S21) and it irks me just the slightest bit whenever I use it. It's still basically 90% of perfection though; so I'm happy with the Lite.

[@sumanthnagarajan]

S6 lite is gonna get Android 13. It had come out with Android 10 in box, and 3 years of software updates.

[@CMDai1]

After this video I upgraded my s6 to s8. I can say s8 is significantly more snappy and the pen has gestures ability I primarily use it for note taking, scribbling ideas and explanations, so that is my main focus. Also the original case with keyboard, which I was not planning to get, but I did, it is super slim, with excellent pen storage location which does not make the case wider, can fit in my small carry bag :) Love the upgrade overall.

[@FishBeeProductions]

Nice choice!

[@940ARK]

Did you use the eye comfort shield on both the tablets? How does it compare between the two?

[@rithe07]

Lol I just got an S6 lite yesterday and it's already pretty laggy. Samsung has a black friday deal on the S8 right now where I'll be getting $350 credit for the S6 lite trade in even though I only paid $225 for it on amazon. Lol needless to say, I'm upgrading already

[@alexischance2249]

Literally my current situation!! Looking up videos to confirm my upgrade

[@rithe07]

@@alexischance2249 lol good luck! I made my order already. Don't forget to use Rakuten for an extra 12% cash back on samsung

[@danielc5647]

there's two Versions of s6 Lite, the 2022 version has Snapdragon 720 g which doubles the s6 lite original performance, so wey need yo be very carefull when buying s6 Lite to be the 2022 version

[@rithe07]

Yeah I made sure to get the 2022 version too that's why I was so disappointed. I haven't traded it in yet so I have it and the s8 right now and Kam the s8 is sooo much snappier but the s6 lite surprisingly knocks the s8 out of the water with battery life. Maybe I've gotta mess with my settings on the s8 because I assumed it would have a better battery

[@danielc5647]

@@rithe07 wow that's surprising, in any case how does you get to lag your s6 lite? I'm looking to buying it and my usecase will be taking notes, drawing and ready PDF's, but now I'm not sure

[@hezekiahwallace2412]

I got the Samsung tab S6 lite $80 off the Samsung price at Fred Meyer‘s a year ago because it was slightly used.

[@FishBeeProductions]

Nice!

[@hkey31]

I'm looking for something to do a lot of notetaking and was wondering if there is a whole lot of difference between the s6 lite and s8 specifically for notetaking. Are there any differences between the s pen functions for the devices? Thank you!

[@masonmalott9788]

the s6 lite should be fine for that

[@SetsuNanami97]

Thanks bro, I'm more sold on the tab s6 lite

Tab s6 lite for me, since it's a great lil screen, headphone jack, s pen and is light enough for my purse! -San Francisco fan girl

[@alittlelofy]

The tab s6 lite is fine, but its not the best, ive had it for 2 years now and its not great! Getting s8 now.

[@FishBeeProductions]

That will be a nice upgrade

@@FishBeeProductions yes I cant wait :) I will miss the headphones jack too..

[@antox1710]

i just bought tab s8 at 600€ with the book cover keyboard free, if u don't care too much to the amoled screen of the other tablet and the jack i recommend it. Remember that u have a 4 year software support, 2ms spen lag (120 hertz) and top cpu.

[@ABrakdabr4]

Where you got it please ? Great price and complete 🤔😯😯👍

[@AlexandreG]

6.8ms lag, but might as well be 2ms and no one would notice a difference. 6.8ms is already incredibly realistic

[@leftyg4587]

Tab s6 lite is running android 12 out of the box, it's got ram plus my tablet has 8gb ram using some of the storage and it's definitely given it a performance boost. Well done Samsung

what about the s6lite 2022 vs s8 or s7 cause theyre basically the same

[@ambassadorTAI]

What I need in a tab, headphone jack, expandable storage, cellular capabilities, 7000 mAh, 1080p resolution, s pen, and 4 GB RAM. I don't care about the camera quality, or any other features, just give me the basics without trying to sell me anything else.

make sure you get the 2024 version if you go with the tab s6 lite, its got better performance than the previous versions: amzn.to/3UIicAE

Because you're listening to the recorded audio output from those devices. The same recorder picks the quality of the S8 and S6L and relays it to your S6L.
