the Samsung Galaxy Tab Lite S6: design
While Samsung, unlike many other manufacturers, continues to regularly update their portfolio of tablets with new models, the company seems to believe that the design of these devices is the revolutionary innovations would not look quite appropriate. For this reason, the classical exteriors of such devices in the past few years if have changed something very slightly.
As the flagship device, the housing and frame Galaxy Tab Lite S6 is made of aluminum alloy. Slightly smaller screen size almost did not affect the size of the device in terms of: (244,5×154,3 mm) vs. (244,5×159,5 mm). With the same capacity built-in battery in the simplified version of the case has unexpectedly turned out heavier (467 g vs 420 g) and slightly thicker (7 mm vs 5.7 mm). S6 for the Galaxy Tab Lite offers three color – blue, pink and grey (on the test we got the tablet in the latest colors).
Flat safety glass (manufacturer unknown) closes the screen with unusually wide after the mobile framework through which the device comfortable to hold in the hands without causing false positives. If you take a portrait orientation Galaxy Tab Lite S6 for the main, the front camera lens is located on the upper frame of the display, and an RGB light sensor, judging by the description, hid somewhere near the right edge. The icons “Back”, “Home” and “Recent applications” in the settings you can replace the gesturemi, depending on the orientation of the screen is moved to its lower part.
At the top put the microphone hole, 3.5 mm audio connector and a decorative grille of one of the stereo speakers.
Another speaker under the same brand AKG located on the bottom along with the USB connector Type-C (USB 2.0).
On the right edge are the volume rocker and a bit smaller power button/lock. Here was the hole for the second microphone and closer to the bottom end – closed slot, where the bilateral tray on one side there is space for a microSD card, and on the other (only for models SM-P615 with LTE) for the subscriber identity module (with a nanoSIM card). The left edge is empty, since the connector for connecting the case-keyboard Cover Keyboard in the Lite version are not available.
the Rear panel of the tablet is decorated with the logos of Samsung and Sound by AKG.
And in her upper left placed camera lens rear photo module without led flash.
the Samsung Galaxy Tab Lite S6: S Pen and BookCover
a Significant addition to the Galaxy Tab Lite S6 was the electronic pen S Pen with a mechanical button.
Because dimensions are not allowed to organize pencil case directly in the body of the tablet, for the stylus uses a special magnetic holder (next to the mechanical control buttons on the side). To avoid losing the S Pen, move in such a fragile tandem is clearly not worth it.
On the inside of the case-books BookCover Galaxy Tab Lite S6 there is a special niche where the pen is held, as the device itself, or on magnetic clips. Tablet in this classic case can be set on a table under one of the two angles, which is useful when reading, watching videos and surfing the Internet.
the basic kit BookCover not included, and therefore at the time of testing for him would have to pay another 6 290 rubles. At first, when ordered together with a tablet you can count on 50% discount.
just to protect Galaxy Tab Lite S6 from stains and scratches, in the company store Samsung for only 1 990 rubles offer a transparent cover-plate (clip-case) Araree’s Cover with a compartment for the stylus.
Returning to the S Pen, note that the built-in power supply for its operation, this option is not required, i.e., is a passive stylus. Recall that a similar stylus for Samsung has always been the company Wacom, first proposed to use in their work the phenomenon of electromagnetic resonance, and the pressing force to associate with a change in electrical capacitance. In General, able to identify 4 096 levels pressing the S Pen, the weight of which is 7.03 grams, and the thickness of the tip 0.7 mm, has unlimited autonomy. However, the “magic” gestures that are available for active stylus (with built-in battery and Bluetooth), have to forget.
by the Way, miraculously preserved from the electronic pen to the tablet 8 years ago Galaxy Note 10.1 (our review here) in a duet with the S6 is the Galaxy Tab Lite also worked, but to the best of their abilities, of course (only 1 024 levels of pressure).
the Samsung Galaxy Tab Lite S6: screen
the New Lite version of the tablet greatly “facilitated” due to the screen. Replaced the Super AMOLED-matrix came a 10.4-inch IPS panel with a diagonal of just one tenth of an inch smaller than the flagship Galaxy Tab S6. When WUXGA+ (2000×1200 pixels) pixel density per inch is 224 ppi. Some believe that due to the mild color reproduction, the IPS screen is better suited for long-term work with the tablet because less tiring on the eyes. In addition, the screen’s aspect ratio (5:3) close to cinematic kashmiriana format (1,66:1), which is convenient for watching movies. However, many replacement Super AMOLED IPS is unlikely to appeal.
In the settings section of the Display included the scale of the screen elements and font, possibly changing the style of the latter. The brightness level is adjusted manually or automatically (option “Adaptive brightness”). Enable blackout either immediately or from dusk to dawn, or on the schedule of the user. Although adjustment of color temperature in the settings not, to increase the amount of “yellowing” on the screen directly with the quick switches, clicking on the icon “Filter blue”. The oleophobic coating on the protective glass, but generally speaking, not very impressive.
the Samsung Galaxy Tab Lite S6: camera
Rear photo module on the tablet, you may need except in that case, if you do not have a smartphone. PRand that, unlike flagship, the Galaxy S6 Lite Tab the rear camera is left alone, i.e., without an auxiliary. It is equipped with 8-megapixel sensor (optical size 1/4 inch pixel size of 1.12 microns) and a lens with an aperture of f/1.9 and auto focus. The maximum image size when the aspect ratio is 4:3 is 3264х2448 points. But for a 5-megapixel front camera chose a fixed focus lens and aperture of f/2.0. Maximum resolution selfie is 2576х1932 point. In addition to video conferencing and “crossbows” this camera is useful even when face recognition to unlock the tablet.
In the Camera app, all the “grown-up”: the basic shooting modes – “Live focus”, “Photo”, “Video” – change by a horizontal swipe. Under “More” contains additional modes, including, in particular, “Pro”, “Hypermaps”, as well as the entrance to the “Chamber Bixby” and AR-Zone (entertainment editor augmented reality). In “Pro”mode is recommended, for example, independently set the level of exposure, sensitivity (ISO) and the preset white balance. Also manually selects the method of metering – spot, matrix or center-weighted. But for Photos the image brightness is adjusted by the slider “+/-“, which appears after tapping on the viewfinder. By the way, tap and hold the selected place, you can lock the settings of focus and exposure. Footage is proposed to maintain in economical HEIF format. “Auto HDR” is activated automatically when you enable the relevant option. For “Optimization frame” AI role in selection of the best parameters in accordance with the scene.
For portraits and selfies, in addition to activate one of the filters, it is also proposed that take advantage ofto ovtsa “beutification” (smoothness and skin tone, jaw line, eyes) from the section “Beauty”. Both photos module you can record video at a maximum resolution of FHD (1920×1080 pixels) with a frame rate of 30 fps. In the settings you can enable options “video Codec HEVC” and “video Stabilization”. To timelapse (mode “Hypermaps”) recorded events can be accelerated in 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 times.

The same option is activated Dolby Atmos surround in four sections – “Auto”, “Movie”, “Music” and “Voice”. When wired headphones are connected you will have access to features to improve sound quality UHQ upscaler].
the Option “Separate audio from the app” allows output of the sound from the selected program on the corresponding audio device. Among the Bluetooth on the tablet codecs are AAC and aptX. The content of the application “sound Recorder” is stored in the M4A format at the pre-selected quality – high (256 kbit/s, 48 kHz), mid (128 kbit/s, 44.1 kHz) or low (64 kbit/s, 44.1 kHz). During the recording of the conversation can leave a mark in time.

Interesting, but at retail bundled with Galaxy Tab Lite S6 offers a 7.8-watt network adapter EP-TA50EWE (5 V/1.55 V AND). Using EP-TA200 or other suitable charging device, for example, with support QC 2.0/3.0 QC or PD (Power Delivery), to fill the built-in battery “under the neck” it will take less than three hours.
