Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 review: Finally, a good Android 2-in-1

Samsung's latest tablet is here, and it's the Galaxy Tab S6. It's the successor to the Galaxy Tab S4, with worthwhile upgrades like a superior chipset, an S Pen that's stored magnetically, and a far better keyboard with a built-in trackpad. Is it worth...

Excellent 10.5-inch screen ; Strong performance ; Built-in trackpad in the keyboard ; Nice design and build quality ; Good battery life

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a good Android tablet for power users, but lacks the same polish you'll find on the iPad Pro or ChomeOS 2-in-1 devices

Excellent build quality, display, and performance. Long battery life. Solid cameras.

Buggy software and unreliable fingerprint sensor in testing.

Although the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a gorgeous tablet with stellar specs, its software keeps it from being a true competitor to other pro-minded tablets and 2-in-1 devices. If you're looking for an alternative that has access to the Google Play...

That may be faint praise, but it's still an overall excellent update with a new S Pen Stylus.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 out-performs its predecessor with a more powerful processor, optimized DeX mode and increased storage space. It also gets a new minimalistic design and updated S Pen stylus.

The keyboard is not included, and it's expensive and takes time to adjust to its small keys. In the tablet/laptop hybrid wars, there’s little clamor for an Android model, especially in light of Android app support on Chromebooks.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a great update to last year’s premium Android tablet but doesn’t make the case for ditching the iPad Pro, Surface Pro or other options.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 review: master entertainer, amateur worker

Samsung's excellent hardware is let down by sloppy software.

Gorgeous display ; Loud, clear speakers ; Sleek design ; Fast performance ; Stylus comes in the box

Widescreen aspect ratio sucks for productivity ; Optional keyboard case is unstable on a lap ; In-screen fingerprint scanner is slow and unreliable ; DeX software features feel half-baked and are frustrating to use ; Numerous software bugs

Samsung’s latest high-end Android tablet is the Tab S6. Like the iPad Pro and Surface Pro, it’s designed to be a tablet that you can use to get work done. Unfortunately, its flashy hardware is stymied by sloppy software bugs and incomplete features.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Review

The Galaxy Tab S6 is everything that a good tablet needs to be. It's sleek, it's functional, and most importantly, it's Android's best bet at coming up with any serious competition to the iPad. But should you really get it instead of any of Apple's...

Beautiful display; Slim and light; The S Pen is very functional and super useful; Powerful quad speakers on board; Top-notch hardware; Good battery life; Great multimedia experience; Excellent value for money

No headphone jack. Really?; No LED camera flash; Bixby Home is laggy
