I still have the original S6Lite I still love it's midpoint between bang for buck and portability . Ibis paint is also my go to quick app for drawing

Thank you for still reviewing base model tablet❤

I just bought a S9 FE yesterday, here in Brazil, at least on Amazon both devices are around the same price. I was surprised by you saying that there's a 100 USD gap there. Thank you for the review.

It's great that you talked about how the devices handle large files, I draw in A3 600 dpi or in 24x36 300 dpi using an s7fe + and madibang paint , without lags or crashes.

The only upgrades are 64GB storage instead of 32GB and a marginally better CPU. The Tab S9 FE/FE+ on sale will give you better value (more RAM and storage and a noticeably better CPU). I have the Tab S6 Lite 2022 and I'd rather wait for the S10 FE (or the FE+ if that's a thing).

I have the original Tab S6 Lite since it came out and its still going strong

Thank you for the review

Thanks for the review ❤

Some programs have an option to not allow you to draw finger lines when the pen is in range, Clip Studio and ibis Paint have this and it CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I have an Older 6s Lite and the Layers are it's weakness, I tend to draw single page Images, and I have a limit of around 30-40 layers in Clip Studio Paint before it starts Crying running out of memory but I STILL LOVE IT, but I do need to transfer my more complex works to my Laptop or Desktop version and us the PC version of Clip to finish. This situation makes this the PERFECT sketch book I ALWAYS carry it with me in case I get inspired of feel like working on a Sketch or line art

A few months ago, I bought the 2022 version of the S6 Lite, and it's really perfect for my needs. I got it for about the same price as this one seems to be now, because back then, it wasn't out yet and was supposed to be almost double the price. I don't regret it at all (and with what I heard about the S9 FE now, I probably wouldn't ever have got this anyway.) Mine's nice and portable and perfectly fits all my needs. :3

I want a Brad Colbow working on his comic video that includes, new page canvas setup, sketching, line art, coloring and word bubbling. With voice overs

I'm surprised that they decided to do a rerelease again, I got the 2022 version last year and it has been working well. But I agree with the other comments if you have a bit more budget you should get the tab s9 FE when it's on sale. However I'm sure this will also be on sale eventually and maybe this can be enough for some people. I also have a similar experience as Brad, sometimes you do see a bit of lag with the interface and sometimes it runs just perfect, the speakers are great, it has a headphone jack, micro SD slot. I have used it for simple sketches/drawings on Krita for now, I'm happy with it.

This is really their base iPad model. Love what Samsung has done

hi brad, i heard that a displaylink dock could be used to output hdmi from the Galaxy tab s9 fe. do you happen to own one? if so could you please test the tablet with a huion pen display? I love the tablet so much, but it's kinda a deal breaker that i can't connect it to my huion for larger screen. much love❤

Thanks for all your tablet reviews. If you have a chance, we can also review Lenova tab 12 tablets.

I use the almost 5 year old non-Lite Galaxy Tab S6 as a daily device and love it. This is the SuperAMOLED 10.5" screen one, which is still better than almost everything else. It's got 8GB Of RAM/256GB, WiFi. The Snapdragon 855 processor makes it a multitasking dream, especially Since OneUI 4.1 update. I found it refurbed/New unboxed for slightly over $300 two years ago. Since I have this for similar money, it's hard to get excited about the Lite with much lesser specs

Do you have the Wacom Movink 13. I’m considering it but awaiting your video.

For pro work anyway it's better a desktop (saying this while being a proud owner of a S7 FE). The FE (anything from 7 to 9) line is really good, the S7 FE has great audio, it's snappy, great consumer device. I don't really see the point for professional work, though (many reasons why, don't want to make this comment longer). A pro monitor (and some Benqs are very close to that, yet affordable) and a classic tablet, or a pen display if you can't handle pen tablets, is so much better for actual work. Even an average 16.1"/17" laptop and a pen tablet provides with better 'professional' usage, and still fit in a bag. The FE line, and for same reasons, also the expensive line: the S9 Ultra, Plus, etc, the whole thing, really, is fun, and nice for sketching on the go, but for that - specifically pencil sketching- I have found that Amazon's Scribble (but really only for B/W/greys pencil sketching) is almost better, cheaper and better for your eyesight (no aggressive back light). Indeed, despite the propaganda, Scribble is much more responsive for drawing than a Remarkable, having deeply tested both (I happily kept the Scribble). Also more responsive in the pen strokes than Supernote, as well. While also good and comfy for books, tutorials reading (which you can just copy by USB port, no need to buy on Amazon), etc. Then again... Having lately doubts about if just picking a moleskine or a less trendy/money-grabbing old paper notebook, is not only just as good, but much better (for on-the-go sketching). Kind of more pleasant.

Great review, thanks! Just bought the S9 FE with 256GB storage for €50 more than the new S6 Lite. The 256Gb S9 FE has 8Gb of RAM, instead of the 6GB the 128Gb version has, which makes it very useable for larger files too. Paired with the higher refresh rate, quite a bit faster cpu/gpu and just a little larger screen, it's worth the extra €50, but even if it only was the 8Gb over 4/6Gb, it's worth it to me. Seeing this review confirms for my personal needs I made the better choice.

Impressive little device. Its amazing how you get so much for such a great deal. I still prefer Apple, but I would argue this is probably the best tablet to get for a beginner getting into digital art. Side note please tell me your going to publish this graphic novel!! Would love to check it out if you do.

I still got my Galaxy S6 lite, 2020 version. I use it most to sketch and sometimes lineart.

Any chances we will get process of you making your comic? As a digital maker myself I’d love to see those steps and why you take them.

I just recently purchased this as my 1st pen tablet, paid around 240 euros of it. For that price point, it was a no-brainer. It performs really well and drawing is very responsive. I've had no issues with palm detection, I've just turned that on in every app I use, if they have it. Battery performance is solid as well, though I don't really use it on anything else than sketching and digital inking.

As soon as I get my Tab s9fe I'll buy a beginners course.. I just want to be able to draw my ideas much clearer and with perspective 😅 This will be my first digital art course !

Good luck on the graphic novel, Brad!

I have a 6 Lite just as a throw around tablet to just carry and have for email and watching YT, but it's great to know I can do a bit of doodling on it. I have last years, I guess, so I hope it still works well for it.

How would you say this stacks up to the XP Pen Magic Drawing pad? I know it's more expensive, but spec/experience wise?

I still have my Original Tab S6 (not the Lite) and it's still going strong. Great series of tablets

Does the pen have those things where if you push harder, it paints with higher opacity? I hear you saying "great pressure sensitivity", but on the sales pages theres no mention of any pressure levels

Great video. What is the white pen you were using at the beginning? Thank you in advance 🙂

How about that new Wacom Oled Review, really want to hear your thoughts on that

for a beginner illustrator or sometime planning to do a little of digital art, which is a good place to start. A 2017 iPad pro - cheaper Or A 2018 iPad pro - costlier and newer Thanks in advance.

Hi brad are you planning to review Minisforum V3? Interested in what you think!

Hey. What about the s9 or s9+? Does the Ipad air also open and run these big files?

can i know what is the thing on your hand? and where did you got it i kinda need one

Just starting/trying out Digital Art or on a Budget? Portable and Standalone Tablet= Always compare S6 Lite 2024 with the S9 FE Prices, S6 is mostly not worth it, go for the S9 FE on Sale! Not "really" Portable Drawing Tablet for your PC/Laptop = Huion Kamvas 16 (2021)! (Cheaper and better for Drawing but without all the Tablet functions)

I chose xppen magic drawing 500$. 12 inch, 8\256gb, matte screen and the most important was that they have a TUV certification that doesn't make my eyes to burn and no headache

I am an Apple user but I do love the Samsung tablets because they aren’t as expensive as an iPad and the pen is INCLUDED. Would the Tab S9 FE be a decent tablet to draw with? I would love an iPad Air but I don’t want to spend around $800

Would one of the dedicated huion drawing tablets that need to be hooked up to a computer yield a better drawing experience for the price?

What app did you use in redmi pad 6 review vedio please tell? And where we can get that app

Watching this video on Tab S6 Lite 2022...

Just got mine for £135 brand new on ebay its going to be my first digital tablet dedicated for drawing

Is this a good tablet for taking notes? I plan to use the tablet for school

Its worth every penny if your starting out, i just bought one for 200 bucks and use it to sketch, then transfer the skitches to Corel and convert it to vector art.

Just bought one that im gonna use for my cartoon projects still need time to get use to the program im using coloring seems way harder to do digitally the whole masking thing confuses me maybe you could do a coloring tuturial? 😂 PS the apps have a ignore fingers settings

Wonder if I'd be better getting the lenovo tab p12 instead of this as they are the same price point. Would love to see you do a comparison Brad

Do not recommend this tablet at all, especially when the Tab S9 FE exists and is almost always on sale for around the same price as the S6 Lite.

Can you do an evaluation of the ipad mini 6 in 2024 vs the competition?

I have been drawing for 20+ years but i newer have done digital art is s6 lite sufficient to start learning digital art or should i go for something like s9 fe?

I'm making a webcomic on the tab s 8 ultra on ibis and the file sizes are huuuge! But the ultra handles it pretty well. Love the tab s line!

I'd like to know how the xp pen magic pad coped with the large files. Where it fits between galaxy offerings.

I'm curious how the XP Pen Magic tablet handles opening such a large file? Also, when are we getting a video about your workflow while developing your graphic novel? :)

I recently got a Galaxy Tab s9 FE for $350. That seems to be the new normal sales price for it. I think that almost makes the s6 lite obsolete. Surely you get a lot more for only $100. But if the s6 starts going down in price it might be more attractive especially for kids or less demanding users.

which app are you using on the S6 lite for your graphic novel?

Adobe Sketchbook is actually good for Tab S6 Lite , especially because you can block touches by fingers when the S-pen is within 1 cm / 0.3 inch nearby the screen

Still have the og. It desktops, cloud games, android games. Great screen.

Veru good for taking notes...

Which pen is better the Samsung s pen with Tab S9+ or Lenovo Precision pen 3?

For anyone that got this thing for free like me and just want to know if it's worth keeping. Yeah it's decent. Doesn't need to be compared to anything else because of it's price. Can't speak for the art side of things but in general use it's pretty solid.

for 1/3 price of this samsung s6 2024 i bought lenovo P11 gen2. And i still believe its a better device for any creative person. Yes Spen is better but ntrig aint that bad. More screen space, better colors, similar performance, more ram.

Amazon refurbished deals can have the s7 and s8 models (+, ultra, fe) as low as 300 maybe even lower if u don’t mind having refurbished product I’d recommend to look around those instead of an s6 lite

❤😊 I'm looking to get an android device soon and your videos has been greatly helpful

Add a review on the A9 plus too

I'm planning a graphic novel as well and I wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy tab s6 lite. But it wasn't available in my location 😢

Is the Face ID any better?

Are you planning to review Wacom's Movink?

For me I just wanted something more notebook sized and easy to fit into my edc especially for drawing. It can run some light KZfaq but I’m not gaming on this thing, that’s what my switch is for lol, anyway this thing is the perfect fit for me

Cam you also do a review for Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro? :)

It's not for me but it's probably for someone. I think they could do a better job with naming to help people not accidentally buy older versions.

Does this come with 6 months of Clip Studio like my S8 Ultra did? That should be factored into the price of so.

Does this version of the Tab S6 Lite support HDMI-out with Dex?

The only thing I really miss in my S6 Lite 2022 is the fingerprint reader. Otherwise it is an excellent tablet, fingerprint reader is the only thing that would make me think about upgrading.

Great video with the crashes...hey Brad do you have any plan reviewing the 2024 Asus Zenbook Duo?

what sytlus pen you use sir

Still no hdmi out? is the only thing preventing me from buying one to carry everyday

Any reason to buy it instead of 2022 version? The only reason I see is that it will be supported longer.

are you able to send tablets to people who need them for school?

S9 FE ❤❤❤ I bought it

Is the original Samsung s6 lite good for beginners art? Thanks rose

Please review Minisforum V3

I like that they are keeping this budget S-Pen model alive... however... they need to do more than just upgrading the SoC. If they make a 2026 S6 Lite it needs to have 6gb of ram and a 90hz panel... because right now, at $310, this model doesn't make any sense, I can buy the S9 FE for only slightly more.

Re releasing the same product with the same name is such a slime move. It makes it super hard to shop around especially used as you may get a much worse product than reviews suggested if you end up with an old model. They update all phones, tablets etc with a new S number each year so why is this not just, an S7,8 or 9 lite?

I have the S9 FE, and I'm glad I spent the extra money. But I'm happy to see Samsung still making a tablet for every budget.

I imagine these are relatively cheap for Samsung to produce. It would be cool if you still have the 2020 version to compare

Hello, i think that the display is way too small for digital art, but it is question of preference.

Could you review the galaxy tab active 5

Why does this tablet keep existing??

You seem to be doing more reviews on Samsung and standalone drawing tablets pls when you start doing drawing tabs again pls review the veikk vk1200 because my friends keep telling me it's nice and all but I don't really know

can you do review for Alldocube iplay 50 pro for drawing

how about huawei tablets? i think huawei has a good drawing pen for android

on my country the s9 fe is 510$ and s6 lite is 440$

I'd probably get an android device, but there are no quality Vector apps on android such as Fresco/Illustrator/Affinity Designer.... Concepts 2024 is weird for vector as it brings in messy lines. Oh! And I don't want to use a glove, so I guess I'm stuck with the iPad.

S6 lite or honor pad 9 pls someone suggest me

S9 fe currently £449 and S6 lite 2024!is £349. So much higher price points

I prefer no charger but a sPen included than 129$ extra for a pen.

Im finally replacing my tablet, i have an older s7 model and my tablet is around 5 years old. My computer also died recently so im looking for a product that can replace Both (im not a big computer person thow and dont do heavy stuff on it.) and i dont know what to buy, i have had an ipad and likes the programs but didnt like the appel pencil. I loved my older s7 and the s pen but i miss procreate

Anyone recommend this being a good tablet for my 7 yr old???

Брэд, я с тобой полностью согласен. Это планшет хорош для новичков. Но не более. Лучше как ты сказал. Доложить деньги и купить Tab s9 FE. Я его собираюсь брать. Но ещё не могу решить. FE или FE+ (беру для рисования в кровати и на улице) И если я возьму версию FE, мне хватит 6 гигабайт оперативной памяти?

Fr if they made a s6 lite in 2024 then they should atleast make it even more cheaper and better

Can you please make videos for animation tab
