  • Review.Samsung Galaxy A71: a massive phone (in every way)

The latest Samsung tablet, Galaxy Tab S6 Lite , arrived on the market a few weeks ago with an official price of 399 euros. Under normal conditions it would have been little more than the reduced price and component version of the Tab S6, but in the current situation it is much more: a product that is good for something.

As much as it hurts manufacturers and gurus, in 2019 tablets were a practically niche product. After passing the fervor with which they reached the market, there was a slight fever that allowed them to continue taking models, although it was a thing of two (Samsung on Android and the ubiquitous Apple). Whoever wanted one had it; Who did not have was because he already knew that he did not meet their needs. End of the movie. Or not.

We were so happy when 2020 came with her scene after the credits that announced an unexpected sequel called coronavirus that emptied theaters while filling the houses. Under these conditions, it turns out that a screen becomes, in a way, a window through which friends, family and, why not, episodes of Forged on Fire pass by. Galaxy Tab S6 Lite suddenly makes sense.

Tab S6 Lite, despite being the reduced model, is an elegant and sober tablet with noble materials and a very attractive finish. The robustness of his body goes hand in hand with a weight that, without being exaggerated, is noticeable after spending a couple of episodes watching Jordan tackle his latest dance . For a less unhealthy consumption it does not present problems and its 467 grams are perfectly transportable on any trip or journey. The fault, if you have to throw it at someone, would be almost more than the addictive part of the documentary.

Its Exynos 9611 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage fall a little short on paper, although more in the long term. For now fulfill and move games, videos and any page without problem or too much heating. In a few years your knees will not be the same and your back will hurt even when you sleep, but who am I to criticize precisely this. For its price, it guarantees a useful life close to five years, which is not bad.

In addition, Tab S6 Lite has a rear camera because even a manufacturer arises and says that the joke that it seems that we are the fourth referee announcing a change when taking the photos is fine, it will be necessary to continue accepting that they have one. If for some reason someone wants to use it in a video call, it will be, logically, more competent than the front one at the cost of having a much less practical disposition. This, by the way, also serves for a facial unlock that fails too much - and when it works it is slow - so that it is comfortable to use it.

Its great attraction is its size, tight enough to be large without being bothersome. The 10.6-inch screen is not perfect, but it is very good, bright and sharp (not so much outdoors). To continue the example above, Jordan's plays looked like he was in the front row of the United Center . The speakers help this feeling and sometimes it will even be necessary to lower the volume so that it is not annoying. Its disposition, that yes, does that they sometimes cover with their hands when holding it.

Do you know that moment in which we have all been in quarantine in which we left the laptop and took the mobile to do exactly the same in less inches? With S6 Lite I was doing the same with the tablet. That a secondary device is imposed on the phone - no less than an organ, little more than an appendix - it is as if a Third Division team prevails over Barça in the round of 16 of the King's Cup: they may not end up winning it, but of course they they are going to celebrate .

As for its competition - quite scarce in the mid-range - it benefits from being accompanied by a small pencil that turns it from screen to canvas. Without contributing in excess, it increases its usefulness and allows scribbling to pass the time.

Does this mean that tablets now make sense again? It depends on the use, of course, but Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has made plenty of arguments to be taken into account. It is not even one of the high-end tablets, practically capable of replacing a computer in all the scenarios proposed by brands in presentations and in very few real-life ones. Using a tablet as if it were a laptop is like clothing with shoulder pads: if you have not been convinced by now it is that you will never do it. Now, if signs of confinement appear again, it may not be a bad idea to stock up on screens, as we once stocked toilet paper.
