The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a highly accomplished Android tablet. It's great for media and almost as good for productivity. It's expensive, but still cheaper than its main rival - the iPad Pro. However, it's also not quite as good as Apple's Pro range.

Beautiful Super AMOLED display; Speedy performance; Excellent S Pen comes as standard;

Samsung’s One UI still not perfect; No headphone jack; Expensive for an Android tablet

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 store, check out the 2-in-1 Samsung Chromebook Plus...

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

Buggy software and unreliable fingerprint sensor in testing

The Galaxy Tab S6 is arguably the best Android tablet ever made with a sleek design, powerful internals and handy features.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S6 can replace your laptop, if you can live with some quirks and if you don’t rely on specific desktop applications to get your work done. Those are some big caveats when you’re looking at spending close to $830 (with the keyboard attachment), but I think there’s a niche group of people that are looking for an Android alternative that doesn’t just offer a tablet experience for playing games and watching movies, but a device that can get some work done. The Tab S6 is small enough to fit in some of my smallest bags, and it’s lightweight. While the bezels are slim around the 10.5-inch screen, there’s still enough room to hold the tablet without interfering with the touch display. That said, there were moments I wished for a bigger screen, especially when multitasking in DeX mode. It’s a shame Samsung doesn’t offer another size like Apple does with its iPad Pro range. Speaking of the iPad Pro, the Tab S6 shares a likeness with the 11-inch model. There’s not much you ca...

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

Storing S Pen requires close attention; Keyboard is expensive, isn't backlit; DeX mode has its quirks;

Android tablets are not the best option on the market for many people due mostly to Google's own failings but a review of Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6 shows that it isn't the usual tablet. For those who absolutely must have Android and must have a tablet, Samsung, it turns out, has you covered.

Long-lasting battery that charges quickly; Camera experience is flagship-like; if not in performance; Samsung's OneUI performs even better in tablets; Massively fast performance with no latency or lag across the board; Fluid; responsive touchscreen interactions; Full-sized S Pen is an even more...

No wireless charging this Android tablet; Camera falls short on clarity; zoom; color accuracy; Night mode is respectable but not brilliant; No 3.5mm audio jack; no headphones included; Still plenty of bloatware

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a fantastic tablet. It's powerful yet terrifically light and portable, it offers great battery life – and it works out cheaper overall than the equivalent 11in iPad Pro.

Fabulously slim and light; S Pen stylus included; Great battery life

DeX still has its foibles; Keyboard cover not included; Shortage of good Android tablet apps

The S-pen was a brilliant idea, enabled me to make notes quickly and easily while I study. However, storage of the S-pen is really poor! I never took the tablet out of my home until I bought a case, for fear of losing the pen. Guess what Two days later...lost the pen!

Our phones might be approaching the screen size of mini tablets, but that doesn't mean the tablet market is dead. The Apple iPad Pro mi...

Had it less than a day and in love with it. Intuitive and very fast. Lovely build feel. I took out accidently damage just in case. Just like a prenuptial.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 makes a strong case for itself when it comes to performance, and as an entertainment device. It will also appeal to those who need a stylus for their tablets given Samsung has typically done well in this area.
