The new Galaxy Tab S6 is a great tablet. Comes with an S-Pen that is magnetically attached. Large user friendly android interface. Plenty of memory 128Gb that can be expanded with an optioned micro SD card. I purchased this tablet to replace my Galaxy Tab S2. The S- Pen is a great feature and works seamlessly with this product. The magnetic stylus which is clipped to the back and might fall off if not careful - I would recommend buying the cover. The stylus is attached via a small grove and is connected via a magnet. The optional cover holds the stylus in place.
The Samsung SmartSwitch software allowed me to transfer my old Galaxy Tab S2 information to the S6 in 15-20 minutes. It transferred all of my installed apps along with the data. Before I knew it I had all of my old apps transferred and I was ready to go. Internet connectivity is excellent and rated speeds. I have Comcast Blast! at 300Mbs.
It has excellent battery life and charges quickly.

I love this tablet. It's super quick and has a great battery life. It's super lightweight and easy to handle. My only quirk about it is that the way the commercial shows that you can link your Samsung phone to your tablet is FALSE. If you have a newer phone like the Note 10 or the S10 you cant because Samsung hasn't come put with the update to link your phone to the tablet. Otherwise its great

The new Galaxy Tab S6 is one excellent tablet. It is blazing fast, has an excellent screen and four solid speakers. It's capable of 4K/HDR video as well. When paired with it's keyboard cover it becomes a pretty decent productivity unit. The keyboard actually has a track pad giving you "mouse" control over the screen. The keyboard activates via it's connection to the tablet, not Bluetooth a welcome change. I've found the battery life to be very good, far better than my older Tab S3 tablet. The included S-Pen charges while it's magnetically attached to the back of the tablet. With 128 GB of it internal storage and a good sized micro-SD card you'll never run out of space. The S6 is certainly a major step up from the S5 series and will serve your needs very well.

So this will be a mini-review I really don't want to go into too much crazy detail. I was in the market for a new android tablet and this one is supposed to be the best. I had a galaxy tab S2 for a long time and then one day the screen just quit working. I was very happy with that tablet and tried a few kindles after but I just felt so restricted by not having access to all my google apps. So long story short I got some Christmas money and took the plunge on an S6. So onto the tablet. The screen is very good, but for an OLED screen, I feel the darker areas can get a little muddy looking. Like the definition is just not there. There is way too much bloatware. I wish Samsung would just strip all their horrible software out of the tablet. All this Bixby stuff is so bad. The Bixby news feed is horrible. I disabled it. I had a Lenovo tablet for a few days and they had a youtube curated app on the desktop and I really liked that. I'd prefer a Flipboard, smart news or google news feed on the swipe left page than that mess they have installed from the factory. If you use wired headphones with a USB C adapter be prepared to shorten your battery life by about 4 hours. When using headphones my tablet drains at a ridiculous speed. Maybe only 5-6 hours of video streaming whereas without headphones I get around 10. If you leave the headphones plugged in it will drain even faster in standby as well. I don't understand why they removed a headphone jack. I read that the drain is related to headphones needing their own DAC to power them whereas a headphone jack has one built-in. So don't leave them plugged in or you'll regret it. Also, this tablet does not have the ability to disable wifi when the screen is in standby mode. At least I cannot locate it. I know this version of android supports this feature but it's not in the menus. My standby drain is not bad though but I do have the tablet on do not disturb most of the time. Overall it's the best android tablet available but in reality, it's only because there is not much competition. It's overpriced and with all the bloatware you might want to consider a Chromebook. But if your heart is set on a tablet it's the best of the bunch. Oh and one last thing, Dex is cool and I would totally use it as a pc if I didn't have one.

Huge upgrade from the Tab S2

Best tablet I've ever used, though I wish Samsung still made smaller 8 inch models. Screen quality is absolutely perfect, and the processor is fast. DEX mode (using the spendy Samsung keyboard case) makes this tablet feel almost exactly like my PC. And the oversized S-Pen attaches magnetically, and is much more comfortable to hold than the skinny S-Pen in my various Galaxy Note phones.
Lastly, battery life is outstanding, with 9.5 hours of SOT at 45% brightness. And 10 months later, battery is still as good as new. Best upgraded feature over my Tab S2 is the fast charging, which zips from 0-100% in less than 2:30.

I do not own the keyboard so my review is solely whats included in the box.
I've had 3 Samsung tablets (oldest being the Note 10.1 from 2012). My previous tablet was the Galaxy Tab A 8.0. I really liked it but found the screen was too small for my needs and the keyboard constantly froze, making apps unusable until it either resolved itself or I had to restart the device. I decided to upgrade and get the Tab s6. Out of the box and upon starting it up, every app was crashing and constantly giving me pop up notifications to close the apps. After uninstalling the apps (which were mostly things I would uninstall regardless) and updating the device, I have yet to get any app crashes. So it was probably just new device bugs. However, every now and then, when trying to unlock the device, it would say "Something went wrong, try again". Fixes after restarting the device. Haven't figured out why it does that yet, but much less annoying than my previous tablets problems.
The display is large(er) and has beautiful picture. The S-Pen has no lag but the placement of the button is mildly annoying because its right where your fingers fall while holding a pen. Lots of accidentally button pressing.
During this covid-19 pandemic, I have neen using this tablet the majority of the time. Weither it's working or playing. I mostly have it in DEX mode. The battery life is great. I can start my day at 100%, work on it for a few hours and it'll be at 80% (thats application and screen time). I know from experience, Samsung tableys batteries arent the greatest, but thisnis a level above a tablet. Its going into Laptop territory
All in all, the pros outweigh the cons in my experience. I'm very glad I upgraded.

The tablet is very light and thin... It comes with the replacement tips for the s pen and the SD ejector.
The color was beautiful, I got the cloud blue and it awesome. I got the cover for it and it matches perfectly.
The pen was very easy to use and I love that you can customize all your settings for the tablet and s pen. The screen is really nice and the brightness is really good.
The charging is really good it's super fast and last a really long time...
I would definitely recommend this tablet because for its features and functionality that it has.

Bought this for my mom for her birthday (It was a little pricey even on sale). She's not tech savvy so I needed something that was very user friendly. It syncs up with her samsung note phone so she didn't have to learn anything new! Her display and options are exactly what she sees on her phone. Its perfect! Its fast, perfect viewing size for movies or video chatting with family, and the battery life out lasts her needs. We both love it!

I purchased this because my old tablet finally ran out of storage space and this one has a 128GB but it also includes a stylus which I am able to use when I do photo editing, but what really impressed me was the sound. When I began to play music through this it sounded almost as good as if I had speakers connected to it.

I've owned a number of tablets since the first iPad and this one is better than all the rest, hands down, iPad, Kindle (I've owned 3 of them) and previous incarnations of Samsung tablets.
It's quick, responsive, wonderfully sharp and colorful and I can even hear from its speakers and I'm extremely hard of hearing.
Love the attachable pen, which elevates usability several notches. Great job Samsung!

My situation is this. My mother has been using Chromebooks for 5 years. We could never get good battery and great sound on tablets. UNTIL NOW! this is the most zippy, long battery life and superior sound of any Chromebook or tablet out there. We checked them all.
We were tired of bad power adapters / and flawed hinges on Chromebooks - save yourself a headache get this tablet
These were my reasons

The 10.5" AMOLED screen is super clear and the colors pop making this an awesome media consumption device. Battery life is above average. Operating system, Android 10, runs extremely smooth without any hiccups even with multiple apps open. Lightweight enough to not fatigue my hands when holding it all day. The Cloud Blue color is awesome, although I always have a case on it.

love the tab so. It has done everything I need it to do. Light weight and the pen works great. I wish the keyboard (not included) wasn't so expensive. I took the tablet to work and didn't touch it until late afternoon. Battery was still at 100% far superior to my wife's ipad.
