Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite launched in India

South Korean consumer electronics major Samsung launched the new slate Galaxy Tab S6 Lite on Monday (June 8) in India.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite sports a smaller 10.4-inch WUXGA(2000×1200p) screen with a pixel density of 225 ppi (pixels per inch). On the back, it flaunts sturdy metallic shell and the base, it features dual speakers, with sound powered by AKG and supports Dolby Atmos 3D to offer immersive surround sound.

Inside, it comes with an octa-core processor backed by 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, Android 10 OS, and a massive 7,040mAh battery, which is said to be enough to play close to 13 hours of video.

As far as the photography hardware is concerned, it boasts an8MP rear-side sensor and a 5MP sensor with face recognition support.

The notable aspect of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is that it comes with S-Pen out-of-the-box. And it doesn't need to be charged.
