Samsung is launching a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
tablet that has already appeared in numerous leaks and even on Amazon Germany
with a price tag. Today the specs got confirmed once more through a listing at
B&H, and we also know the price for the US market. The Tab S6 Lite will
have a 10.4” screen and will cost US$ 349.99 for the Wi-Fi-only version.
The specs, provided by B&H have some
differences from what was already leaked, and we think some of them are typos
or placeholders. The diagonal, for example, might be 10.1” in the title, but
all the other leaks suggested the bigger panel, so we’re sticking with 10.4”.
The resolution of 2000 x 1000 pixels is not WUXGA+, so we can scrap that
altogether. Previous rumors suggested 2000 x 1200 pixels, which seems more
plausible.
The biggest question, however, remains
whether the chipset will be Exynos 9611 or Exynos 9610, as B&H says. The
former is seen in newer devices like Galaxy A51 and Galaxy M31, while the
latter is powering the year-old Galaxy A50.
We think it is the first one, but Samsung
has the tendency to put old SoCs in new devices (like the Galaxy S10 Lite and
Galaxy Note10 Lite), so we’re waiting for an official word from Samsung to hear
the final specs of this US$ 350 tablet.
