Samsung Electronics today announced the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024), a stylish tablet designed for both work and play. Paired with the high-precision S Pen and offering reliable performance power, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) maximizes inspiration, ideas and output for students, young professionals and families alike.

"At Samsung, we understand that life is fast, work is dynamic and consumers need a device that can keep up with their busy everyday lifestyles," said Junho Park, VP and Head of the Galaxy Ecosystem Product Planning Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. "The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) and its S Pen are the ultimate companions for seamlessly blending productivity with entertainment and creativity, enabling people to do more of what they enjoy on the go."




A New Level in Note-Taking Productivity
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite makes it easier and more enjoyable than ever to capture ideas with precision. It comes bundled with an ergonomic S Pen that has been designed to preserve comfort, even when gripped over long periods of time. Users will enjoy writing or drawing with the S Pen whether they are sketching in Samsung Notes or jotting down their thoughts—without unlocking the tablet. And with no need for a separate charger, the S Pen is ready for whenever creativity strikes.

Taking productivity even further, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is fully compatible with Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy Buds FE that offers seamless connectivity between multiple devices. Users can expand their creativity and accomplish more on their own terms within the Galaxy ecosystem.

A Stylish, Portable and Powerful Performer
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) offers a stylish design, with a premium metallic look available in three attractive colors: Oxford Gray, Chiffon Pink and Mint. The tablet is compact and light for increased portability, weighing just 465 g for the Wi-Fi version or 467 g when equipped with LTE. Additionally, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite's expansive 10.4-inch screen and slim, symmetrical 9 mm bezel enable every version of the tablet to provide a captivating viewing experience.

Along with stellar productivity and entertainment features, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) offers powerful battery that allows for 14-hours of non-stop video playback, providing users with a reliable device for enjoying an immersive viewing experience and creative freedom. Since the tablet is capable of effortlessly juggling applications, users will also be able to experience more efficient multitasking.

Availability
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) will be available starting March 28.

It looks like a downgrade. Well, It's the third version of the same model, why not retire it?

Because there's a huge gap from the Tab A's to the current Tab S's, price and tech-wise.

If a product sells well where it is slotted in, why not refresh it? It's not as if the refreshed Tab isn't gettting software updates the older versions won't.
 
4GB RAM + Android 14 = Absolute junk. When Android 12 came out, Google said it required 6GB RAM. A relative has a Samsung A8 (4GB RAM + Android 12-13) and the OS eats up almost 3GB just idling, all apps closed. Youtube works but crashes if you scroll down too many comments due to lack of RAM. Browser works but don't open more than 1 tab, etc. If only tech sites had the balls to call out this "designed for 1 year lifespan" nonsense they way they do for VRAM...

I guess Samsung justifies it with the inclusion of the RAM Plus feature, that allocates storage space to use as some sort swap or virtual memory.

It's garbage if you ask me. Maybe if it had UFS 4 storage, then it wouldn't be as useless as it is, but that is high end storage. This one likely has UFS 2.1.

I can't understand this. I use a Tab A8 Wi-Fi with 3 GB and 32 GB storage upgraded with a 512msd card (SM-X200NZAA) and it works fine for YouTube, Disney+. Netflix, Paramount and so on. Also browsing is no problem, my main browser is Firefox and I always have around 8 tabs open in it on this Tablet. Sometimes I switch to Chrome for reasons, but it also works totally normal. No crashes, no slowdowns, nothing. Btw I don't game on this tablet except Motorsport Manager 3.

YouTube also works fine, even in the comments. My tab is on Android 14 if you are curious. Maybe just rma his tablet, because this behavior is not normal.

The S6 Lite series is pretty neat, I know many who use it since Tab A wasn't powerful enough for them and Tab S 8 upwards was too ridiculous expensive.

But why continue with the name S6 Lite that's so many generations old instead of calling S9 lite or FE or whatever.

Oh well, if it works for them I guess, but it's just weird. You get the feeling of buying something very old compared to the current "flagships" but it's from the same generation more or less.
