I have the iPad mini 5 and a tablet galaxy s2. I dreaded buying this because of the larger form factor. Plus the cost of the device. Ouch. Bestbuy gave me a birthday discount so i pulled the trigger. The display is crisper and sharper than the iPad mini 5 or S2. It has 4 speakers. The small bezel gives you more real estate for the screen. Samsung Dex is perfect for my use. I have connected the device to a Dell USB-C port replicator and using an extended monitor. Attach a keyboard and mouse and you are set. I have mine setup with an apple bluetooth keyboard and a wireless Logitech mouse. You cannot use the internal speakers when connected. You need to either connect a Bluetooth headset or use a usb headset connected to the port replicator. Also, While connected with samsung dex, you can use the tablet as another device to view other items or apps. I have since left my MSI GP63 laptop at home and use this as my work laptop. Battery life is great. I am currently at 89 percent and estimated life is 44 hours. The stylus is a lot shorter than the Apple Pencil but has more functionality. I use the volume controls - “Press the button to swipe up or swipe down for volume.” I have taken some videos and pictures with the camera and I’m not a camera buff, so i can’t really tell the difference between apple and samsung. I recommend this tablet.

So many feature upgrades from the Tab S-4. The S6 has a display resolution of 2560 x 1600, octa-core processor, 256 GB memory, audio is AKG with 4 speakers, one in each corner. S-Pen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth all standard. The Tab can also accommodate an external memory up to 512 GB. The Tab performs as a 2 in 1 with the optional keyboard case. You can then use it as a tablet or as a laptop. The Dex software will make it look just like a Windows desktop computer screen. With the slim design it’s easy to take along on your travels or school. The display is beautiful, and the colors are true to color and crisp. The on-screen fingerprint scanner is nice, if you do not want to use the scanner you can simply use a passcode instead. An update from the Iris scanner on the S4, the fingerprint scanner is easier to use. The speakers are improved with more bass. You have four speakers on the Tab and the sound clarity is excellent. The S-Pen is a nice improvement with it being magnetic. Whether you are writing, pointing, drawing or doodling the S-Pen is comfortable to hold and use. Drawing with the S-Pen is cool. The added addition to the S-Pen is called air actions, which are commands activated by waving the S Pen around the air, does take time to get use to that, unless you are a music conductor! The battery life is good, I can get about 14 hours of heavy use before recharging. The audio Atmos is amazing and clear. Conquering the world in a game is super on the Tab. Working, surfing the net, shopping, watching a movie or playing on the Tab is marvelous. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S-6 is the most sought after in our house. Of course, you have your normal buttons on the Tab, on/off and volume and there is a USB-C-port. Be aware there is no headphone jack, for some that may be a negative, but with the way tech is going there’s no need for one since everyone goes for the wireless headphones. The Dex system is easy to use, great for multitasking. I can have Netflix running and bring up a web page and more at the same time. Watching a movie on the 10.5-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S-6 shows beautifully. You can view You-Tube at 1444 P which is one of the best. The S-6 has an aluminum back, they got rid of the glass back which the S-4 has. The Bezel is very small, just enough to allow you to hold the tablet and see the whole screen. The S-pen fits right in, it’s no longer an afterthought. Notification if the S Pen is not placed back in the right spot to charge. The battery life is very good more than 14+ hours. Fast charge c port gets you back in play quickly. The transparency option is cool for keeping notes while working or playing. Game booster (kills all other apps, so just the game is running) is a nice feature. It does seem as though Samsung has put a big focus on gamers. Fortnight at 30 fps no problem at all, no lagging. Of course, there is a camera on the Tab. You have a multi camera set-up which means a 13 MP F 2.0 main sensor is paired with a 5-megapixel F/2.2 ultra-wide back-up, impressive. The secondary camera is great for wide angle shots. There is an 8 MP camera in the front, which is good for video calls or selfies. I still prefer the smaller smart phones for picture taking, but for occasional photos the Tab is great. Overall a very fast, great looking screen, able to play demanding games without any lag, great expandable storage, a case that holds the S-Pen and a large keyboard with a track pad. Some people will love the Tab S-6 and others will just like it a whole lot.

Thanks to #GalaxyTabS6Insiders I was able to get my hands on this wonderful tablet. Overview: Currently I have an older Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to compare to. In the words of Samsung, “Imagine a more personal PC experience—without a PC. Meet the Galaxy Tab S6, the ultra-slim 2-in-1 that performs like a laptop with the mobility of a tablet.” I personally do not look at an Android tablet as a PC replacement that runs Windows as it’s simply not a fair comparison. DeX is a smooth Android alternative overlay that provides a PC feel. Specifications: Website provides details. I have the 8GB(RAM)+256GB(Internal) model. Added 512GB SD Card. No headphone jack. Preface: As a CPA a Windows PC/laptop does my heavy computational lifting. Data will be synced to the S6 from my PC. I plan to use the S6 as my digital notebook/data reader, portable video player, and night time/in bed web surfing and social media device. Battery: The longest I’ve used the tablet for thus far is about 5 or so hours straight, and the battery life was down below 70% under mixed use (emails, video, social media). I probably will never be able to truly speak for battery life as the tablet will not be on/used all day. Sound: I am impressed with the sound. The sound from the S6 far exceeds any laptop or tablet I've owned. I have yet to connect a Bluetooth speaker to it, but I expect typical Bluetooth performance just like from my S10+ phone. Bluetooth technology still has a way to go. There can be drops and lags. I still have some wired headphones, and not having a headphone jack means I will never hear the best/uncompressed sound that directly plugging is a headphone offers. S-Pen: I use the pen for note taking at meetings and seminars using the Samsung Notes app. As of this review I am not sure if I can convert S-Pen writing to text (alternative to keyboard input). I can envision artists using the pen. Air actions allows certain performance in the air without physically touching the display. Cool, but I would think faster and more intuitive for me to just use the glass. Camera: Decent quality pictures. Good for video chatting. Responsive. It operates similar to my S10+ which will be by main camera. Display: Impressive. The display is crisp and clear. I noticed no lag/blur in watching YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, or Fios. It's very responsive to touch when opening apps/swiping screen etc. Conclusion: This is an excellent high-end tablet. It's the fastest tablet I've owned. The combination of the great display, solid sound, and ample storage space makes it a joy to use.

When I first heard that Samsung was releasing a new Tab S6, I was very intrigued! I have been using Samsung Tab S4 for a year now and its performance has been very good. I could only imagine what Tab S6 would bring to the table. First of all, Samsung Tab S6 shines and I can say that it is one of the best Android tablets. Samsung has perfected its form factor and slimmed it down even more compared to Tab S4 and instead of glass back it now has a beautiful aluminum cover. It is a real pleasure to hold this tablet in one hand and use the supplied S-Pen which has also been redesigned and sports bluetooth. The first thing that everyone will notice is of course its gorgeous vibrant OLED display. It is bright, crisp and well balanced in color saturation. Media consumption on this tablet has been a joy to use, games like Asphalt, Fortnite are meant to be played on a display like that. This tablet supports HDR and Dolby Atmos and makes movie watching experience absolutely a must whether you are on a plane or a subway, this tablet will not disappoint. Its battery life has been great as well and lasts me all day. There is only one negative and it is missing a headphone jack. I was a bit disappointed that it was gone, especially on a tablet where there is a lot of space. I know bluetooth headphones are available to me, however using wired headphones is simpler and it does not require them to be charged or paired. Performance on this tablet is simply amazing, I have Tab S6 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and with its latest 855 processor from Qualcomm (same one that comes on Note 10) this tablet runs circles around many other tablets that are currently on the market. Web pages load in an instant, videos on YouTube never stutter thanks to great wireless chipset, Bluetooth 5.0 makes sure I never lose connection. This tablet is fast, snappy and graphics are butter smooth! Samsung has also included an S-Pen - a very handy pen that is capable of a lot of things. First of all, it is comfortable to hold, reminds me a bit of a carpenter pencil. It can easily attach to the side of the tablet or can be placed in a special groove on the back of the tablet for charging. It is very precise and drawing sketches is fun, making notes is also easy and your handwritten notes can be converted to text! You can also use gestures and take pictures remotely or browse through your Gallery without touching the screen. Love it. I received this tablet for a discount for my honest review.

This tablet is incredible. The screen is gorgeous, the speakers are loud, and the look of this thing is great. At the end of the day for me this is a multimedia device and a web browsing device with a premium feel, and i'm happy with that. Not sure how this holds up for students or people using it for work. DEX mode can be a tad clunky sometimes but i always use it with the keyboard connected and i love it.

The tablet itself is great. But the keyboard case by Samsung fell off after a month and bestbuy would not refund me. I've never had a case that only last 1 month! It's a magnet sticky pad. And it does not stick! Horrible product and not well thought out

I have been waiting for a tablet other than Apple that measures up...this one does! I just converted from the iPad Pro 11 and though it was an amazing tablet it still wasn't what I was looking for. The Tab s6 is fast and easy to set up especially if you already have a Samsung phone or just Android in general. The form factor is much thinner and more narrow than the iPad and in my opinion this tablet is a better build quality than the iPad. This feels solid and comfortable in my hands like a premium device should. All my apps that work on my phone work just as well on my Tab s6. Unlike Apple, where apps that are only optimized for the phone and look stupid small or don't fit the iPad screen, all the apps looks great and are optimized for the the Tab s6 as they are for the phone. Gaming is amazing! No lag or screen tear and videos on Netflix or other apps alike look beautiful. The only time I really notice the lesser FPS (frames per second) is when I scroll on certain apps, like facebook or the internet. You can see it distort the image just slightly. Obviously when you have 120 fps for iPad and then come to a device with less fps its noticable, but for most people you won't even see it or will not think about it after a little while. Call and messaging community (in your settings)...remember that. I didn't know that was what I needed when trying to set up my call and texting on the tablet. You have to turn it on from the phone (and the tablet) and make sure your tablet is connected to the samsung account. If you don't have a samsung phone, I can't tell you if this will work for you or not. The pen. It's pretty cool and feels as natural as a real pen or pencil. The only issue I think have is that when I don't have a case on its easily knocked off the magnet when handling the tablet. Stronger magnet would be nice. So I take it off for now until I get my case (on order) with the cover for the pen will keep it in place. It has more functions than just being a writing utensil. Unlike the first guy who reviewed this device and seemed to complain. 12gb of ram is not neccessay and would only raise the price far more than you need to pay for something like this. 8GB is plenty and it's what Apple uses for a the iPad. It's how the device is optimized for the RAM that makes it better and 8GB does the job just fine. Sound! Oh boy this thing sounds as good if not better than the iPad quad speaker setup. It's awesome! Fingerprint sensor is nice, but slower than the traditional sensor that is usually not under the screen. Not that slow though. I've noticed you might need to clean the screen from the fingerprints that are on the device in that area to get it to read accurately. Downside, I can only set up 3 fingerprints. I like to have 4 to 5 depending on the position or if it's on a surface where it would be easier to use a different finger. Cameras on front and back are pretty good, not a huge feature I care about, but if I need it I'll know it's great quality for what I want. Better than iPad pro 11 for sure. The more I use this device the more I like it and just keeps getting better.
