The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) is an Android tablet with a 10.4 inch, 2000 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD display, a Samsung Exynos 1280 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage. It’s also the cheapest Samsung tablet with S-Pen support.
First announced in March, the tablet is now available in the US for $330 and up. It’s sold exclusively through Amazon at the moment, and as part of a launch promotion you can get a $100 Amazon gift card for free with the purchase of a tablet.
The tablet is a pretty modest upgrade over the 2022 version. It has the same physical design and features, including a 7,040 mAh battery, USB-C port for charging and data, a 3.5mm audio jack, an 8MP rear camera and 5MP front-facing camera.
The only significant changes are that Samsung’s newer model ships with Android 14 and it has a newer processor that should deliver a modest performance bump.
Before pulling out your wallet, it’s worth considering how much you want a tablet with a pressure-sensitive pen for writing and drawing. Because the Galaxy S6 Lite (2024) isn’t the only new budget tablet Samsung has launched for the US market this year.
The Galaxy Tab A9+ is an 11 inch model with a 1920 x 1200 pixel, 90 Hz display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor and a choice of memory and storage configurations: 4GB/64GB or 8GB/128GB. Prices start at $220 for the Galaxy Tab A9+, the processor should offer similar performance to the Exynos 1280, and the cheaper tablet is available with up to twice as much memory.
But it doesn’t have S-Pen support.

On the one hand, the $100 gift card Amazon is offering right now sort of levels the playing field here. On the other, the Galaxy Tab A9+ has been out for a few months and it’s already available at discounted prices – at time of publication you can pick one up from Amazon for as little as $170.
