Galaxy Tab S6 Calorie-free tablet gets Bluetooth certification

The tablet in question will have Bluetooth 5.0, equally the Bluetooth SIG listing says. Bluetooth 5 is the latest in Bluetooth technology, bringing improvements to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Other than this, the tablet bears model number SM-P615. This model number doesn't match that of the Galaxy Tab S6 4G or Tab S6 5G model but rather, that of the Milky way Tab A 10.1 with S Pen (SM-P580). The model number reveals that this tablet could possibly contain an Due south Pen, though no official word is out from Samsung only yet.

The tablet has the characterization "Galaxy Tab S6 Lite," an indication that the tablet will exist a variant of the Galaxy Tab S6 series. Samsung appear the Galaxy Tab S6 4G model back in August 2019. The Korean Android OEM just appear a 5G model of the same tablet a few weeks ago. The Tab S6 Calorie-free will be a third variant in the Tab S6 series. The Bluetooth certification asking shows a Feb 26th 2020 filing, which means that the tablet is certainly a future release.

In that location's no word on whether or non the Tab S6 Lite volition have 4G models, 5G models, both, or but Wi-Fi.

Galaxy Tab S6 Lite specs

The Tab S6 Low-cal appeared at Geekbench last calendar month, revealing it volition run Google's Android 10, contain Samsung'due south Exynos 9611 SoC, and 4GB of RAM. Samsung's octa-core Exynos SoC reveals, along with the "Low-cal" moniker, that this tablet will be a more budget-friendly model of Samsung's flagship tablet. 4GB of RAM is as well a giveaway, every bit Samsung'due south Tab S6 5G model features at least 6GB of RAM.

The Tab S6 Light could come up with the same 10.5-inch brandish as its flagship 4G and 5G models, though with a modest screen resolution (mayhap 720p screen resolution). At that place's no word on battery size or toll just yet, though with an over $650 price tag for the 4G model, the S6 Low-cal volition possibly sit at $400-$500. Samsung could toll the tablet at around the same price every bit the Milky way Tab S5e ($230 USD), though just time will tell but how budget-friendly Samsung decides to be.

Samsung continues to work at a declining market

Android tablet sales declined in Q4 2019. Even Samsung sold 600,000 fewer tablets than the same quarter the year before. And in a market where the numbers proceed falling, Samsung keeps designing. One can chalk the company's stubborn effort up to sheer madness or sheer brilliance.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite looks to be something of a budget-friendly tablet for those who want something similar a Tab S6 without the $650 cost tag. Mayhap Samsung is taking its expensive pricing to heart. When a market is dying, one must price the product in that market affordably in order to entice customers. The Galaxy Fold and Milky way Tab S6 (4G and 5G) are fantabulous devices. Their specs are not keeping customers away. Their designs are not keeping customers abroad. The problem with these excellent products is not the production themselves, simply the prices.

To go along the market live, Android OEMs must do more than than just design dainty tablets with good specs; they must sell those tablets and build buyer interest. Hopefully, the Tab S6 Lite is the first of a turnaround for the Android market.
