A:AnswerI've done a lot of research on the topic and the big debate is Ipad 7th gen vs the S6 Lite.
TLDR: Yes, it's a good value, and is cheaper/the same price as some tablets that require a desktop computer.
For price consideration the Ipad 7th Gen does not come with the Apple Pencil and you have to tack on the cost of it. (making it at least 400$) The S6 lite comes with the pen included. So, as of this answer, it's 279$ for the complete package.
Hardware wise the S6 lite is better, with a stronger CPU, a little more RAM, more storage space out of the box (at base level 64gb vs 32gb) and has a laminated screen; which is pretty big for digital art. (You have to get an ipad mini or air or pro for laminated screens)
The big factor comes down to programs available for drawing. Art Flow on samsung vs procreate on Ipad. (Clip Studio is now on Android).
Brad Cowboy does reviews on all equipment and does think the S6 Lite is a good value for digital tablet. (Youtube) But he edges out the S6 with the 7th gen Ipad, mainly due to apps and he prefers the apple pencil(So if you've never even used the ipad apps.....is that really a factor?)
A:AnswerI do not have a cell phone plan and chip for it installed so to download anything I have to use wifi. I can download and store software or movies though that can be used/watched offline as long as there is enough storage.
A:AnswerWhile a cellular connected model may be released later, none has been officially announced thus far, so the S6 Lite will only be Wi-Fi, no phone number and thus no mobile data available with it. The regular Tab S6 is available with Cellular but it doesn't look like Best Buy carries it, at least not yet, so you'd have to check with your carrier. As for the other differences, this video covers the S6 vs the S6 lite better than I could here. https://youtu.be/mfO1ybyXUfw
A:AnswerThere is no slot for the pen, it magnetically attaches to one side of the tablet. The book cover case also has a spot for the pen to be stored.
A:AnswerMy guess would be 3 to 5 years max. This is an older version of the newer tablets out there, so my guess would be closer to the 3 years. But that shouldn't effect your ability to watch YouTube videos. My daughter still has an android phone that is like 6 plus years old and she can still watch youtube on her phone. It's usually because there is not enough room for memory to accommodate updates and not the push of updates from the manufacturer that effect how long you can receive updates from Google Play store.
A:AnswerThis is an excellent tablet, but may prove awkward to use as an ereader for extended periods of time. It is overly large for that purpose, has an awkward aspect ratio for that purpose, and is somewhat heavy. I have found that the Samsung Tab A7 Lite to be far more serviceable as an ereader - it is about the size and proportions of a paperback novel, and can be easily held in one hand for extended periods of time. I have both the Tab S6 Lite and the Tab A7 Lite, and am doing all my book reading with the Tab A7 Lite.
A:AnswerShort Answer: Yes. this model has 128 gigabytes, which should be plenty. In Addition, It has expandable storage with a micro SD card slot, to give you even more storage if you buy a separate SD card at your desired capacity.
Long Answer: If you are the kind of person who puts all of their media on one single device, then this can still be an option for you because the expandable storage can double or even quadruple the base 128 gigabytes that come with the initial device (though you will need to purchase those SD Cards separately which can cost from 20 dollars to over 100 dollars for the higher capacities). However, If you are a power user who has high resolution video, a massive backlog of high resolution photos, and the like, then you are better off looking for more expensive devices that have higher capacities and will better allow you to go through said data with ease. This Samsung Tab s6 lite is not too strong of a device with a mid range Samsung processor that will not give you the snappiest performance you may be looking for if you want to scroll through such a large volume of photos and videos regularly. So, in summary, this is a mid tier device with respectable base storage, expandable storage, and decent performance, however, if you are the kind of person who will be using up all of that storage with ease, you are better off spending more for a premium tablet that will house far more storage.
A:AnswerYes. It has both. DeX support allows Galaxy Tab S6 Lite users to connect it to the big screen and use it as a portable desktop. ... It comes bundled with the S Pen.
