Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 Review: One Year Later

[@LinkSergilBelmont]

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.

[@AndroidDigest]

Right. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@YeFansMalaysia]

This tablet will have software support until? When you on this tablet, this shipped with Android 12?

[@AndroidDigest]

Yes, it released with Android 12. Honestly, I can't guarantee how long they will support this tablet. It's very confusing. Normally they do give a lot of support on their tablets, including to mid-range tablets. BUT this is a "refresh" of an older tablet so I don't have any confirmation on how long they plan to support it.

FINALLY!! An artist's review!! Thank you!!!

[@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

[@AndroidDigest]

Yeah this is pretty good for $250.

[@davik9003]

I just got one for my daughter at $200, I feel like it's an absolute steal

[@PS-sb8kk]

@@davik9003 - I am glad to see all the positive comments for this tablet. I decided to get this Tab S6 Lite 128 GB variant for my husband to replace a Kindle which he has been using for about 3-4 years. I know this Samsung tablet will be a great upgrade, especially with the S-Pen which is included. The Tab S6 Lite was still on a good sale at Best Buy for $250 for the 128 GB variant. But to be honest I saw the Galaxy Tab S9 FE - 10.9" on sale for $400, regular price $450 - and I am wondering if I should have gone for this slightly better and newer model instead. I figure that he will be using the new Samsung for a few years, so maybe getting a newer tablet with better specs might be worth it over time. Then again, many of the comments here indicate that this S6 Lite is a really good tablet for those of us who will be using it for E-books, basic games, not high level gaming, and web browsing, and it may not be necessary to get the better version. Can you tell I am driving myself crazy with this decision? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

[@TanyaAD138]

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

Dad's still using my 2010 lol That's actually why I'm here - to decide between this or iPad 9/10.

[@francesschaefer]

@@toohottohandle0_0 I have a Galaxy Tab A 2017! Watching videos just now as I looked at Galaxy tablets in late 2021, and this might be a good upgrade for me, haha! I like the idea of an S-pen because I have arthritis in my LH and RH thumbs which flares up occasionally and writing with a real pen is a bit hard at times.

[@walterdbrown]

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.

[@AndroidDigest]

Especially since it comes with the s-pen, adding $80 to Apple's price makes it a big difference

[@readyforlol]

Lower end ipads also don't have laminated screen, which sucks if you're buying them to use a stylus. Not to mention the price of the pen that's not included with ipads.

[@scotwm1789]

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.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yeah that's a BIG help

[@scotwm1789]

But wait, there's more. I just discovered that two quick taps on the home screen of my my Tab S6 Lite turns the tablet off. When not on the home screen, I tap once on the round icon at the bottom right side of the screen and the home screen appears. Then two quick taps on the home screen turns the tablet off.

[@saviordream]

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 KZbin, 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.

[@AndroidDigest]

I hear you! I loved that tablet too. I did have a weird wifi issue though, that happened in every single model I tried. The wifi would drop if you held it by the corner, even if it didn't drop, you would lose maybe 20% of your wifi. So it wasn't noticeable to most people. But outside of that, it was one of my favorites. The OnePlus Tab is a good alternative, it's not OLED but the screen is better, $480 for that tablet new, but if it goes on sale, it's got a 120hz refresh rate, and it's a little better overall than the S6 Lite. And the Pixel Tab will be interesting for $500. But for $250 that's still a good steal you have

[@saviordream]

@@AndroidDigest I looked at both the OnePlus Tab and the Pixel Tab, but both are going the Apple route and have limited storage with no expandability option. I don't mind having a lower internal storage (since I don't really use/download many apps), but I need the ability to have a higher storage limit for the media I keep on my tablet. This one issue makes both of these non-starters for me.

[@AndroidDigest]

I don't blame you there. It's a tough call at that point.

[@darktoylord]

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.

[@MrFantastic23]

Just got one a week ago refurbished for around $160 and I'm digging it

Hopefully you enjoy it. It probably will have some compromise in comparison. Since it's not a flagship like the S3 used to be. But even cheaper tablets today are more advanced in some ways compared to flagships of the past

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.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yeah, I didn't see it. Keep in mind the Galaxy Tab S5e had awful wifi issues and I was one of the only ones pointing it out. I made like 5 videos on it, every single model had the same issue when I tested. So I do try to keep an eye out, but I personally didn't notice any issues.

[@davidblewis6405]

There are some things you can do that will improve wi-fi that may help. 1. Use 2.4 Ghz, slower, travels further. 2. Review router settings, use Wi-fi Analyzer from fastproc to choose 2.4 bands not affected by other networks; if no other network problem choose band 1. If sharing with other devices your router may be able to allocate more bandwidth than other devices (mine can). 3. If range within house a problem look up wi-fi extenders and similar topics (google extending wi-fi range).

[@scotwm1789]

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 KZbin 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.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yep. You have some good thoughts. Can't argue there

[@scotwm1789]

After I posted the above comment, I remembered an annoying problem that I am having with my Tab S6 Lite. Please see if you or one of your colleagues has a solution to this. I have just made a new comment here today which outlines this problem. Thanks again.

I'm not sure a 10.4 inch display can be described as small. It's pretty standard. Around 8 inches and below is small, IMO.

[@AndroidDigest]

Not really true anymore. The Galaxy Tab S9 for example is 11 inches. It's the small tablet in the lineup. They have a 12.4-in tablet and a 14.6 in tablet. If you go cheaper, the tab S9FE is 11 in as well. And there's a 12.4 inch model too. Almost every iPad also starts at 11 in. I actually want there to be smaller tablets. But in our current tablet world, 10 in is still small compared to everything else

[@wooj82]

@@AndroidDigest Samsung, Lenovo, Oppo, Honor all offer 10 inch tabs. I think 10 inch is standard, the sizes you mention are relatively recent additions, time will tell if these new sizes become the new standard, but I suspect they will not due to ergonomics and weight.

[@pyro8632]

I'm a complete newb at tablets. I was considering getting one, mainly for art and to take notes in class, and that's it. Tablets here are kinda inflated so I was looking into cheaper options that have decent performance. Any good recommendations? I'm still considering whether I should buy one of these Android tablets, or just go with regular drawing tablets with a screen display.

[@eraen8168]

For drawing only, I do think pc + drawing tablet with screen is the best as you can crank up the resolution for better quality drawing. It's just not portable. If you're really want one of this kind of tablet. There are others like xiaomi pad 6, ipad 9, lenovo p11 (2nd gen) other than s6 lite.There is also huawei matepad but no google playstore. Mind you, only s6 lite comes with the spen. The others are sold separately

[@pyro8632]

@@eraen8168 I'm still unsure since these tablets are also useful for note taking, but too expensive to take outside at night. I think I'm leaning more towards screen tablets though, there are a few ones with large screens at acceptable prices and basically I'd have a second monitor if I'm not drawing.

[@AndroidDigest]

If I were in your shoes, I'd look on the used market. I'd probably recommend trying to find a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 for example. You could find one for pretty cheap since it's a year old and the S9 came out recently, so maybe $350 to $450? And you could get 120hz, an s-pen and something with great performance. That's what I'd recommend on the Android side. The S6 Lite is OKAY performance, especially if you're used to lower end phones, and you can get it for $250 right now. You can also look for the S7 FE or the new S9 FE coming out soon, but again, those run around $450 anyway unless you are on the used market too.

[@pyro8632]

@@AndroidDigestHey thanks. An used S8 is about the same price a screen drawing tablet, a bit cheaper. The S6 Lite sounds a bit better to me, I already have an A01 Samsung so I can handle bad performance lol. Still got some thinking to do but thank you for the feedback

[@khairizalk4191]

Been 1 year since I bought mine, I can say I regretted it. Its so laggy now and the original rubber nib totally worn out after few months (I write using it a lot for college). Samsung didn't sell the tip replacement so I had to use hard plastic nib. The only pros of Tab S6 Lite is "cheapest Tablet with Stylus" which is only usable for note taking and drawing. If you want a Tablet for Note taking and gaming on the side. Really recommend Xiaomi Pad 6. It's the same price as Tab S6 Lite but with overall sooooo much better specs and can run Genshin Impact on MAX setting. Just that the Xiaomi Pen cost almost same as Apple Pencil. However if you look at the price for Xiaomi Pad 6 + Xiaomi Pen, it's definitely the cheapest for it's high performance and power. Save some more money and buy Xiaomi Pad 6 Instead.

Hey, I have a question, if you don’t mind. How to store it when you're not using it for around 2 weeks??

It is also announced that current MIUI on Xiaomi Pad 6 will get an upgrade to HyperOS on the end of this January. Which is exciting.

Between this and the Tab M10 Plus Gen 3, which one has a warmer display? I'm coming from a Tab A7 and it's got a very cool display which I don't like at all. I'll mostly be using the tablet for watching videos. Also I heard Disney Plus has some issues with Lenovo tablets. Is that so?

[@AndroidDigest]

To my knowledge, the older Lenovo tablets did have issues with 1080p on Netflix or Disney. And they don't do great with software updates. The S6 Lite display is warm in my opinion. And you can use settings like the night light or other settings to make things more comfortable to your eyes. I think the Lenovo p11 pro gen 2 has a better display, 120hz. And maybe even the p11 plus. But not by too much. The S6 Lite display isn't it's strong suit. But you may still end up liking it. I do remember it being a warm display.

Thank you for the video. I'm watching because Best Buy has this tablet on sale for $199.00 right now. I realize that is a great price for this tablet but it lacks what I want most Wifi 6. I'd give up some screen size, screen resolution and stylist for wifi 6. No one on KZbin or the Internet for that matter is talking about wifi 6 tablets. I have a wifi 6 router and my NOTE 10 + has wifi 6. It is like night and day over 5.4 ghz. I'm only limited by my Internet connection 500 mbs. I know they're are a few wifi 6 tablets out there but they are either big $$$ name brands or crappy cheap tablets. Do you know if a good wifi 6 tablet that you have used yourself and can vouch for?

I don't think people talk about Wi-Fi 6. Because most people don't even get enough speed to take advantage of Wi-Fi 5. I'm personally on starlink Internet so I barely get 100 Mbps on a good day.

My main work for which I want to purachase this tab is to do emails, take notes and photoshop images & multitasking on-the-go. Is this product a worth-buying? Or should I go to P11 plus and save some bucks?

[@AndroidDigest]

It depends on the price difference. I like how this has Samsung DeX, so it's a good option for productivity if you enjoy DeX. It's a laptop like environment to open up apps in, and that can help you be more productive, also the stylus helps with things like photoshop if you take advantage of it. It depends on the difference, but you will get better software support from the Samsung, and it's got a few extra perks. I'd go with the P11 Pro Gen 2, or this. the P11 Pro Gen 2 has an oled screen, and it's faster. But no pen, and worse software support. But the Samsung will have DeX, the pen, and software support you want. so if you find a good deal on the P11 Pro Gen 2, I think it's better than the P11 Plus. Other than that, I'd get the Samsung

Well Microsoft word would require the office 365 subscription. It's going to work okay. But not ideal because some colleges have websites that use desktop browsers. And while an Android tablet may work it may not be the most ideal to access college work, depending on the college. That's my main reservation.

I wouldn't use a tablet for vlogging at all. A smartphone is going to have a much better camera for something like vlogging. You will get a better vlogging camera in a $450 Google Pixel 7a. You could even get one for 350 used in the US. Or you could get a Galaxy A54 5G. All of those will be better at vlogging. Pretty much any smartphone will give you a better camera for the money. This is good for basic video calls.. but not vlogging. But it will be about as good as any tablet at this price for vlogging. But you will get better options for that in phones.

Is there a screen bleeding issue?

[@AndroidDigest]

I have heard people mention it but I didn't notice anything specifically.

[@borderlineguitarguy]

I bought this 2 months ago for $250 at best buy. It's garbage compared to my Samsung fe7. The bevel around the screen feels weird, charging is extremely slow, battery drains 5x faster than others, camera is awful. Anytime you film a video the lights constantly flicker cuz it won't focus properly. apps are slow to load. I mean, It functions but once you start really using it a lot you quickly discover it's cheaply made and not a workhorse. Maybe I just got a dud. I was going to return it but had already set up all my work and info on it. Go with the fan edition. It's so worth the extra money.

[@AndroidDigest]

I get what you're saying. But the fan edition has been around $500, almost double the I definitely agree. It's in a completely different class. But so is the price. And while I probably wouldn't use the S6 lite day-to-day, it's still really good for people for basic stuff. But for people who are used to higher end tech. I do agree with you that they should consider upgrading. But the S7FE is also almost out of updates, almost out of Android updates. It came out I believe before they updated their software policy. There is a new S9FE coming out pretty soon from what I've heard. So hopefully that will release for a good price

[@playsuper5008]

​​​@@AndroidDigestI found s7 Fe and S6 lite 2022 at the same price which one do you recommend I get? One is new the tree and used like new. But we must count that the S6 lite 2022 version is new and is 1 year ahead of the S7 fe. S7 Fe 300 and S6 lite 2022 new 270

[@aesmusicore]

Can anyone tell me which one is more worth the money for students? Samsung S6 Lite or Samsung A8 or Apple iPad 9th generation? Note: I prefer a wider screen that the long in length

[@AndroidDigest]

To be honest, it depends. The iPad is going to get more software updates, and it will be faster overall. The S6 Lite has the s-pen that comes with it, which is a bonus for students. So it depends on what you're looking for. If you're really open to both operating systems, I'd probably lean iPad, but as an Android user who prefers customization and wants an s-pen, I'd prefer the S6 Lite.

[@mhhawali3148]

Ipad 9th generation is the best one among you mention. Also, iPad screen ratio is 4:3 which has more wide part than length.

[@adamkeith44]

If I were to purchase solely on basis of screen, is a7/a8 worse than s6 lite?

[@AndroidDigest]

To be honest I think it's equivalent. I wouldn't say it's better or worse. I don't think you're getting an upgrade with the screen. The S6 Lite has a better processor, more RAM, and an spen. Also Samsung dex. Those are the differences for the money. I think it's enough to justify the upgrade but it's different for each person

I have a 2022, I got it for writing books and not for internet use, So after I bought it I keep locked permanently on airplane mode. I will never take it off airplane mode. I am trying to use Samsung Notes as a Free Built in Word Processor that i could use it for a lifetime. I know that if I were to ever take it off airplane mode that I could lose all of my important writings with stupid updates and advertising. Plus I don't want the internet to see my personal writings. I don't want to use Microsoft Office or other word processor's because you ether have to pay for them or they blast you with updates that mess things up for me. Plus I don't want the internet monitoring everything I am writing or doing on my personal Samsung 2022. So my biggest question is; 1- Can I just Bluetooth my Samsung Notes directly to a Printer? Without Wi-Fi or Internet? And how do I do that? 2 - Is their an adapter cord to hook up to my Samsung directly to a Printer?? Without the use of Internet or WiFi? 3 - Can i copy Samsung Notes to a thumb drive for safe keeping??

[@AndroidDigest]

I don't know much about the Samsung notes app specifically and what it can or can't do without wifi. So sorry, don't have enough time to research it. Good luck though

[@fjmaring]

Maybe if you export your notes as a PDF's files, use an adaptor front USB C to USB A, saving them in a pendrive. I your printer accepts a pendrive you are done. You can also connect a PC to your printer, no internet connexion is needed.

[@alili945]

[@AndroidDigest]

Very good. Not as good as the Tab S8, but it's way cheaper. And the iPad is like $400 when you consider the pen. This is around $250 or so when it's on sale, and it comes with the pen, so it's not perfect, but better than most tablets at this price for taking notes

[@AndroidDigest]

Hard to say. The Honor is probably a better tablet overall. That's just going off specs. With no s-pen involvement. But I don't research a lot of tablets overseas, since I mainly cover in the US. But the specs of the honor look slightly better.

[@MrCougar214]

So would the A8 be better than this S6?

[@AndroidDigest]

Definitely not. It's a step down. The S6 Lite has 4GB of RAM in the base model. The A8 has 32 in the base model. Even if you upgrade the A8 to the 64 GB model that has 4 GB of RAM, it has a slower processor and it doesn't come with an s pen. That's the main difference between the two. The base model though has only 32GB of storage and 3 GB of RAM, so if you find the S6 Lite for close to the same price as the A8 64GB I'd go for the S6 Lite. Getting a faster tablet and an s pen

Hi! Would anyone recommend this tablet for note taking? I like a notating PDFs, reading manga and eBooks, taking notes, etc. I would use this tablet for that and as a small second screen for references since I draw on photoshop on a Surface Laptop Studio. Would it be alright? Cheers!

[@AndroidDigest]

It would work great for all of those things. The only thing I would question is the second screen capability. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't have the capability to project to a monitor. So it's a great second screen if you use it on Android. But if you're trying to connect it to be a second monitor for Windows, I don't think it will work. This is an upgraded model from the 2020 model which didn't have the ability to output to a monitor. Since it was USBC 2.0. And the only thing I think they upgraded when they upgraded it in the 2022 model, is the processor. You will be out of luck. I could be wrong though

I think 64GB is more than enough for most people, and an sd card can help with extra stuff if you actually go into app settings and change things like music downloads/video downloads to the sd card. But it's enough for most people at least. Depends on the person though. 2 months too late but hope this helps.

Yeah that's really tough. If everything is more expensive, it can still make it a good deal compared to other tablets in your area.

[@pokornys4745]

I am considering this tablet or Lenovo P11 Gen 2 with 6gb ram for my grandma. She will use it to watch TV or scroll Facebook. Lenovo is 50$ cheaper in my location with better ram. I don't want her to suffer with sluggish performance like she has to do now. But if I am correct you haven't mentioned any performance drop with this Samsung which is positive. The thing I am worried is the software. I've seen that Lenovo doesn't update it frequently and it will maybe get only Android 14 while this Samsung will get probably Android 15 and better support. So should I risk it for cheaper and better performance but worst support or go with more expensive but slower Samsung but have no worries about future? Hmmmm

People go on updated software and not give a care in the world, and even though it's supposedly less secure, I've seen it be completely fine.

I have the s7 fe. Just bought the s6 lite at best buy. It is similar but the s7 fe blows it out of the water. Picture, battery, is better and it runs faster. I might take back the s6. The camera is terrible on the s6

[@AndroidDigest]

It depends on what you paid. Price is important. The Tab S7 FE retails over $500. At this point it's WAY WAY too high. You can buy the S7 FE refurbished in mint condition on eBay for around $300 now and it's been on sale frequently around $400 new. So I would never pay $530 because it's just too high. The Tab S8 has gone on sale under $600 before and even the Tab S8 you can get for around $400 in mint condition on eBay or swappa. So let me try to make things as plain as I can. For simple note taking, the Tab S6 Lite is great. $350 is a little steep since it goes on sale pretty frequently for $299 (sometimes $250). But if you bought it for $350 I'd still have trouble telling you to spend $200 to upgrade to the S7 FE. A big part of the advice is dependant on how satisfied you are now and what you paid. If you paid $250 or $299 and you're pretty happy with it, why return? If you aren't happy with it and you really want something faster. Don't keep something you aren't happy with. Return and look either for an s8 or s7 fe used on Ebay (sales buy it now, read description, and look for 99% feedback or better) swappa (look for very good feedback) , and amazon (if you go to the right hand side of the s7 fe listing, you can look at the options and they will have some used ones. Amazon warehouse ones are normally returns directly to Amazon, normally haven't been used long. You can even look to buy new on eBay and read the description and make sure it's sealed. They have an allstate/SquareTrade warranty you can often add during checkout which is good. Or you can wait until you see the S7 FE or S8 on sale. The S8 should go on sale (especially with the S9 coming) and you may even be able to find it around $600 now. The S7 FE may also be on sale. If you use links in the descriptions of my videos it helps to get me credit. I reviewed the S7 FE and the S8, and have links on them. Long description but hopefully it helps. You have options. It depends on what tolerance you have for used. Or if you want new. And if you're okay using eBay or swappa. But even if not. It depends on what you paid. How happy you are. And if you aren't there are plenty of new deals out there
