New Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with S Pen stylus lands in Malaysia; priced at RM1,499

There’s only so much you can do on your phone for productivity related tasks. Tablets are the next step up with larger, brighter screens while retaining a slim form factor though they typically cost a pretty penny.

While Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 series still rule the roost as the premier Android tablets in the market at this point in time, they’ve just issued a refreshed version of the Tab S6 Lite in Malaysia that packs an S Pen stylus and a host of hardware upgrades while clocking in at RM1,499.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite specs

The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a large 10.4-inch TFT LCD display with 2,000 x 1,200 pixels resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate framed by modestly thin bezels. What makes it particularly attractive is that it comes bundled with an S Pen stylus which makes note taking and doodling a breeze.

Much like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the tablet can also take notes even with the screen off, allowing you to take notes anytime, anywhere your creative muse (or an urgent errand that needs doing) strikes you.

Better yet, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite now sports DeX mode, Samsung’s own special feature that offers a desktop mode akin to a classic Windows desktop for easier multitasking on the display. You can also wirelessly enable DeX mode on a compatible display for even more screen real estate if so needed.

DeX mode aside, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite features a svelte 7mm thin metal chassis and one-ups its 2021 predecessor with the inclusion of a more capable Exynos 1280 processor paired with 4GB RAM with up to 8GB of RAM Plus virtual RAM and 128GB of expandable storage via a microSD card slot. For video calls, the front has a 5MP selfie camera while the rear has an 8MP single camera with both rated for 1080p@30fps video capture.

Connectivity options max out at WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for units sold in Malaysia and the tablet hosts a large 7,040mAh battery that is rated for up to 14 hours of video playback time.

In Malaysia, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite retails for the aforementioned RM1,499 inclusive of the S Pen and can be acquired in your choice of a Mint or Gray colourway. It is now available nationwide at all Samsung Experience stores, authorised retailers, channel partners and their online store here.
