Test: Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, candy, this tablet

Sacred best Android tablet last fall, the Galaxy Tab S6 returns with a Lite version half as expensive.Versatile, although a little slower and more sober in components than its predecessor, it reminds us that it is not necessary to ruin itself to have a good tablet.

WE love

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a Samsung, and we see it at first glance with its bright screen which offers a well-defined image, one of the specialties of the South Korean manufacturer.Here we have a 10.4 inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 2000 pixels on 1200 and 16 million colors, clearly visible even in broad daylight, capable of reproducing with a very satisfactory quality a film on Netflix, a video game ora videoconferencing.

For this last aspect, crucial at the moment, our tests have allowed us to see that we are dealing with a fairly powerful machine, with a front camera and a quality microphone.No delay, no pixelization, and as a bonus of the AKG speakers which make a sound rich, well defined, with a deep bass.The Tab S6 Lite also offers the Dolby Atmos ambophonic sound for compatible films.And the front camera even does an effective job to balance the brightness in real time, if you have for example too powerful lighting behind you.

The sensitivity of the screen is very good and allows you to manage pleasantly by almost all applications.La Presse+, Chrome, Outlook, Messenger, Spotify, everything was running.

On the hardware side, this tablet has an eight exynos 9611 processor, an average range product designed by Samsung to compete with Snagdragon processors.Its performance is respectable, without being spectacular.We have 4 GB of RAM and a storage space between 64 and 128 GB, which can be extended to 1 TB with a microSD card.

The rear camera has a resolution of 8 Mp and that of the front, 5. Its photographic capacities are minimal, with very good management of contrasts, but colors that tend to be too saturated inside and washed out toThe outside.Let's say that you will not win prices with such a device, but it is obviously not its mission.

The Tab S6 Lite comes with its S Pen stylus, which can be used to navigate the applications, annotate documents or draw.The 7040 mAh battery provides at least 12 hours of video reading or use of WiFi.Interesting detail, we kept an endangered taking, that of 3.5 mm.

Finally, the last point but not the least: offered from $ 429.99, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a reasonable price.This is exactly the price of the cheapest iPad sold by Apple, which is of course no coincidence.

WE love moins

Yes, the Tab S6 Lite reacts well when asked for power, but it does it a little more slowly, adding a small delay compared to the more luxurious tablets.There is no miracle here: this is an average range processor.

We can use facial recognition to unlock the tablet, but we found this little capricious function, falling back once on three on a nip.

One buys ?

For the vast majority of users, who want an Android versatile tablet to watch videos, listen to music, respond to emails or navigate the Internet, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite offers a very interesting value for money.It is not flamboyant, but does everything effectively.

If you have already sold the Apple environment, however, this tablet has nothing to convince you to abandon your iPad.
