Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 + Keyboard Review (Snapdragon 855 Quad Speaker Tablet) By Tablet-News.com

Hi guys this is w la cornier here with the review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab s 6. Yes, it's time for its review. It's definitely the most powerful Android tablet right now and guess what it comes, bundled with a stylus which you can hook up at the back in order for it to wirelessly charge and also for safe storage. It comes bonded with the stylus and just in case you're wondering the price tag is right now, six hundred and forty dollars, even though in Sumeria it's $700 anyways, it's got a Super AMOLED screen. Furthermore, it's got a slim format. We've recently reviewed the Galaxy Tab s5e, but the tab.

S6 is definitely the flagship this year. So let's talk about the design first and foremost, as you probably guessed, if we're dealing with a 10.5-inch tablet, which has a metal body I'm, not a huge fan of the antenna cutouts, which you can see at the top and bottom, but I can live with them. I can also live with the fact that we get a premium built here for sure' metal body once again, and the thickness is a mere five point. Seven millimeters, which is crazy, considering how much technology there is inside it also weighs only 420 grams I love the idea of the pan being attached like this, even though it may hinder you a bit when you place the device on a flat surface. Obviously there is glass of the flaunt front side and I would say that the side of the bezels is reasonable, so you can properly grip the device like this just enough for your fingers to be placed on it.

So a pretty solid, build a pretty good grip, it's metal and glass. It's comfy light perfect bezel size. What more can you want? I want to talk about the display right now. So what we're dealing with here is a 10.5 inch, Super AMOLED screen with a generous resolution of 2560 over 1600 pixels, and aside from that, it's got usual perks of a Super AMOLED, which means it's pretty bright. Nice contrast in the Sun, deep, blacks, very vivid colors, but I'm going to hand it over to our video test, which is also going to be an audio test on account of the powerful quad speakers onboard.

So here we go okay, so, even though we're talking about the screen right now, we've also got a small taste of the quad speakers on board. So I should probably mention that the screen offers support for HDR and also has deep, blacks, vivid, colors, nice brightness. Why DUI angles its crisp, and we'd remind you more tests on it, but only if you're any fond of this. This is the pixel setup we're using a microscope for this one, and we spotted on a typical RGB stress pixel arrangement. Each blue pixel, which is brother white, has associated to small sub pixels.

There is a green one and a red one, and we also did a brightness test achieving the top level of four hundred and sixteen lakhs units, not very impressive, but still well within range and well within a satisfying area, one Lux more than the Galaxy Tab s5e. That's what you should remember, and also above the Galaxy Tab, a nine point: seven still below the iPad from last year, the affordable I pad from 2018 keep that in mind and also below the Galaxy Tab s2 overall I'm pretty happy with the screen. Here and also with the design- and you probably figured out already that I'm happy with the four speakers- with their AKG tuning and Dolby Atmos technology, and if you want to tweak your experience further, there are the sound options here: some quality and effects. There is an equalizer for you and for the screen. We also have its have its own equalizer, so to say, so we go here, display adaptive, brightness, blue light, filter, very important night mode and a screen mode frankly expected more modes.

We only have two vivid or natural phone size and style. That's about it. I enjoyed Netflix on it, the Breaking Bad movie, not so great, but great viewing experience. Okay, so we have gotten past the whole video watching and audio listening and just for the sake of it here are the speakers one two three and four, that's all of them. Okay, now, I should probably mention how we're doing in the CPU Department is the powerful Snapdragon 800 55, which is usually associated to these smartphones from 2019, so Snapdragon 800 55, accompanied by syllabi to ROM and 120 about the storage plus a micros card slot.

Obviously, you can run Call of Duty mobile on it like a champ asphalt, 9, whatever you please, it will be very happy with the result. I also did a bunch of benchmarks, but they're not very relevant, because we haven't really tested many tablets. Lately, you can see some results here. Well in some tests, I would say we're close to the Galaxy Note 10.1 to 2, for example, we have a huge score, provided that I can actually find it ok. So this is one of the other an tutu tests.

I know we broke the for 100,000 points barrier and that's got to count for something. So here we go. One of the test shows 364,000 and, as I said before, I'm pretty sure that, with the an tutu 8 we broke the 400k value. Okay, GFX bench is also here, gig bench as well, and 864 k 3dmark, and it's remark. We actually surpassed a few phones out there, which are pretty high performing so rest assured this is a powerful device which will not disappoint you and several more tests here enough about that.

Enough of all the performance, you should all other devices lag free, it can run any game, and it doesn't overheat. We also have proof of that. You can see here. The heat signature of the device have a special FLIR camera and the only area which gets hotter is around the charging portion of the stylus, but not extremely. That's for sure.

So. Ok, heat dissipation and ok, temperature of only 30 point 8 degrees Celsius, which was achieved if I remember correctly, after a bunch of games which is not half bad. If you want to talk about the battery I'm going to spin the device for a second, so we can get a new perspective of the whole experience. Now it portrayed so. The battery here is a seven thousand and forty million per hour unit, which should be good enough for fifteen hours of video playback.

That's what Samsung promises on paper or not on paper here. So, let's see how it actually did in our tests. When it comes to the video playback. Here we are 14 hours and 22 minutes, which is excellent. If you ask me, and if you ask anyone, it should be on par with the expectations very close to that mark, and when it comes to the continuous usage we have PC mark and an excellent value of 10 hours and 14 minutes, it's placed pretty close to the top from all the tablets we've tested.

You can find on par with the iPad Pro easily and also the Aleksey tab is 5v and D tab a models one under the battery were done with the acoustics and I guess: I'll talk about the camera. So let's keep things simple. If we go to the back side here we have a dual camera setup, which is not something you see on a tablet every day. It's a combo of 13, megapixel and family picture, which is an ultra-wide camera. Now that we're done with this camera here so 13 megapixels and 5 megapixels, it does 4k video capture the spoken and selfie focus, and all that- and here we have the 8 megapixel shooter, which you can use for your selfies.

For yourself, you videos for your Skype needs. Basically, whatever you want. So usually, people are douchebags when you use tablets during weddings and sadly funerals, but sometimes you actually have to work and rely on a tablet. So we tried it out and, as you can see, you have some pretty vivid colors here, some pretty nice results. We tried out the both I would say that if you ever play with a galaxy, a 40 or a 50, this is exactly what you can expect: I'm very impressed by the selfies, but anyways 8 megapixel camera front camera on a tablet.

There weren't any great expectations, but the colors are pretty impressive for the main camera. Some okay, we'll try white shots, not the best in the world, but somewhere between the galaxy, a 40 and the 50 and believe me, if you're going to film in 4k, you are going to be pretty impressed. So let me find a video and see how we're doing in the department okay. So this is a pretty colorful one. Here we go decent focus: okay frame rate, some jitter here and there, but decent overall for tablet.

Let's leave that aside and talk about other aspects, so one of them being connectivity. You have our NATO SIM card slot available on the device you have power pins at the bottom. There's 4G LTE support, so the Pogo pins hook up to a keyboard, and here we have the USB-C port I should go back up, bang again to the connectivity, so 4G LTE, it's LT category, 20 phenol, mistaking Wi-Fi, dual bandwidth, Muslim, Bluetooth, 5.0 and also GPS, and a NT plus we even went ahead and did a bunch of speed tests. You know the app speed test is the name. So let's check it out, okay, screenshots, and we should have them here somewhere and, as you can see, we're gravitating around 47 megabytes per second in download 25 in upload.

So that's about it, I've seen better, but the conditions of our network may fluctuate. And finally, we got to the money shot, which is basically the software experience. If you've seen our review for the Galaxy Tab s5e, it's pretty much the same on the tab s6. So we got Bixby here on the side. One UI is minimalistic and focused on the navigation with the bottom side, while the top side is for consumption, and we have here the night mode, which is famous and saves power on super AMOLED devices, okay, and also something that actually loved on the Galaxy Tab s 5v the Samsung decks it basically mimics a Windows experience.

It provides you with icons, a taskbar things like that. You can also have overlapping windows I'm using YouTube right now, and also overlapping. The apps I can also put the gallery basically as I say before it mimics the windows experience and if you hook up a mouse and a keyboard, you really feel like you're using a proper laptop. It moves things down and provides you with an extra window for your apps things like that. It feels closer not only to Windows but also to Chrome OS.

If you ask me, but there is a bit of sluggish slug in s. Excuse me at times when opening it up and closing it up, I mean entering and exiting this mode. Okay, so that's the X in a nutshell, not much to say about the actual OS. You have seen one UI before it's based on Android Pi. It's got, flattened minimalistic icons.

This is the multitasking, and you can close apps like this, which is pretty straightforward, and you also can do a bit of multitasking I'm sure, let's see which one split screen view. That is also the pop-up view, obviously, which will allow you to, for example, make a window float above others. Okay, so that's about it, OS, wise, and now I guess it's time to actually talk about the accessories for a bit. So we got the stylus here. It came bundled with the device, and it charges wirelessly when it's attached to the back, it's bigger than the regular s-pen.

From the note 8 and note 10, and if you press this icon here, you can see some of its options. Basically the same you got on the note 10, but create a node view. Node smart select, screen right, live messages, AR dual and the nifty coloring, which you have found to be very relaxing. You enter a sketch start coloring and right now, people relax themselves by coloring areas of a board, and you can actually hear the noise made by the tip of the pen. Of course, you can also change the size of the tip, make it smaller or bigger, so you can color it faster.

There's only one examples of how you can use the pen with probably more patients than me. The other options will feel right at home if you use the Galaxy Note before, so you can create a note from right here, pretty straightforward right, something like hello world, of course, hideous handwriting and also can create a live message right. It animated do some screenwriting. There is the pen up community, then there's also an art doodle, which was seen on a Galaxy Note.10 come on, so I can add something to my face like these ears here make them more colorful. You can add a mustache and move around with them.

So that's basically your augmented reality taste, but the actual use of the pan comes when you access Samsung nodes, and here I can maybe start a new document. Okay, this card- there are a bunch of things within here and if I press this and I write something like good-bye and I press this button, it's text recognition, even though I have written hideously, it's recognized goodbye okay, so it was supposed to also have an E okay. Let's go back this card again and let's write hmm Tower Bridge processing power. Brick! Well close enough. Obviously my handwriting is poor.

So if you keep the button pressed, you can actually delete the things you've written. Okay, let's go back here, and here we go. I can delete my things. Hopefully nope, yes, I did and of course you can also do your drawing writing and all that jazz if you're really into it. There's a lot of things to do here.

I want this is London too much I'm going to put a pen to the side, I'm loving how comfy it is. It may create some barnacles on your finger a bit if you're reading it too much in this area here may create some blisters anyways. We also have another accessory it's the keyboard. This is actually the keyboard book cover. Does this call because it comes in two parts, so you can connect it with the Pogo pins like this thank God for magnetism, and then it's also this part here which completes the experience, and it's nifty enough to have a special slot for the stylus and the room for the dual camera, and also a sticky part which doesn't adhere as much as I would have liked it to and voilà.

We are done now. If you really want to use it as a laptop you're going to have to gently pry. This open put it in an angle like this, but it tends to slip. That's my main beef with it. It tends to slip on a surface which is well shiny and things like that, even if you make it a deer as much as possible with a sticky material, if you don't have something more well, textured would have some problems with making it stick: anyways I'm, pretty proficient with the keyboard.

You may have small keys and a small trackpad and a very small backspace button. Okay I'm done with that, but as I said before, I'm reasonably proficient with it. Okay, so let me just go back here, pretty sure the keyboard and the tablet are going to fall at some point, and here we go Samsung notes this card and let's try and write something, so something like I got as high as 100 words per minute. At some point tablet, news. com I know it feels cramped a bit, but you're going to get used to it.

It reminds me a bit of the keyboard of the latest Chromebooks, that's the surrounding vibe keys with a one millimeter Travel, 1.1 millimeters, and about 70 grams of pressure on them, pretty nice feel and even the small trackpad you can get used to it. That's about it. My main grip, where the device is, of course, the fact that doesn't quite stick this protection and also, even if you bend it, you have to find a really properly rugged surface to actually prop it up. This has been the review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab s6. Definitely, the most powerful Android tablet right now, without a rival in that regard, and also a pretty nifty media consumption, beast you're going to be watching Netflix.

There is no other tablet, I would rather do it. We've got the Super AMOLED screen and hugely powerful speakers. On the pro side we got design. We also have the battery the screen and the processing power for sure. Of course, the s-pen is always a plus, especially because you can also put it at the back side, so we can charge and be handy at any time.

So those are the pros. On the con side, we don't have an audio jack here. The accessory feels a bit finicky at times and I would have to say that the volume is not as loud as I've heard on other tablets. Well, other things worth mentioning the fact that the keyboard is a bit pricey, something like 180 bucks, not for everyone. If you already spent 700 bucks on the tablet and that's about it, the best rival for the iPad Pro right now is this one and even a solid rival for the Microsoft Surface, which is honestly hard to find in some parts of Europe, particularly my part, okay.

So let's also access this and show your website tablet news. In the end, this is definitely device that will get from us nine point five out of ten, that's for sure, and it's honestly, the most powerful tablet have tested ever we Android and definitely the best iPad Pro arrival money can buy the best screen I play with in a while, the best speakers, the most powerful CPU on a tablet, and I'm loving the keyboard, in spite of its small drawback and also the s-pen, is multi faceted. This is from WM hope you enjoyed this review and also don't forget to check out the one for the Galaxy Tab s5e. This is from us by way.
