Samsung Galaxy S6 10.5" Tablet, 128GB (Wi-Fi), S Pen Included, Cloud Blue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited for this tablet and was looking for a thinner, lighter upgrade to my Tab S4. The S6 has been wonderful. Design: Very sleek. Beautiful coloring of tablet. Love how thin and light it is. I have the Tab S4 and the S6 blows it out of the water in terms of design. Performance: Sometimes doesn't respond to finger scrolling and I've had to use the S Pen. Otherwise, no lag or noticeable performance issues. Very responsive. Battery Life: Great. Battery was at 50% one day, I used it to watch Netflix for a couple hours, left it alone for 2 days and that's when it died. Screen Quality: Crisp. Great contrast. Inky blacks. Bright colors. Backlight is good enough to use outdoors with minimal washout. S Pen: Works well. Love how it functions as a mouse without a mouse. Really like that it's magnetic and sticks to the back. Sound Quality: Very good for a tablet. Voices are clear and the sounds is crisp. Love the Dolby Atmos sound on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was completely skeptical before getting my hands on the Samsung device. I have used tablets with keyboard and computer interface before but something was amiss in each case. I'm a huge fan of Android devices but the tablets were never up to the mark until now. The key highlights that made me consider Samsung Tab S6: Weight: Less than 1 pound (450g). There are powerful laptops under2.5 pounds out in the market, so the weight was a critical factor in choosing a tablet (with dual-mode). S-Pen: The tactile and ergonomic design is the best overall. It doesn't cost extra (included with a tablet). Attaches magnetically to the tablet, important considering how it's so easy to lose track of it. Samsung DEX: The main reason for using a laptop mode is to access multiple programs/ apps at the same time and adding external devices like mouse/keyboard for improving productivity. Love the feature, please read more about the versatile usage of DEX. It's awesome to learn more but too big for the review here (wouldn't want to sidetrack) Price: Cheaper than any other competing products on the market (from a reliable brand). Things I didn't like or you term it as needs improvement: Headphone jack: I guess following the latest market trends, every product is opting for wireless/ USB-C compatibility, I wouldn't fret too much about it. It's just that wireless interface tends to drain the battery and some are prone to issues. USB-C Dongle: Wish they provided a form-fit USB-C to AUX dongle (easy to include in the packaging). I wanted this as the adapters/ dongles provided with the tab would match the design aspects much better. Speakers: Definitely better than previous tablets from Samsung but there is scope for improvement. Battery: Gets me through most of the day on nominal usage. But it drains in idle condition, didn't expect this to happen. Opened the tablet after 3 days and found the charge dropped to 48%, so I guess flight mode needs to be turned on before turning the device to Sleep mode. Overall the pros outweigh the cons by a huge quantity. I intend to buy one more for my family as well.
