Well everyone's been paying attention to iPads and surface tablets something unexpected happened Android tablets have actually gotten pretty good the Galaxy Tab s fix is an example of that but is it good enough to replace a surface or an iPad the s6 out does last year's model with a quicker more powerful processor more flexible storage expandable up to one terabyte using a microSD card and new Dex mode updates Zion wise;
See On Amazon:
The Galaxy Tablet had a minimalistic makeover the tablet is now 60 grams lighter and one millimeter thinner keeping the same ten and a half inch display by adding thinner bezels and rounded corners it also streamlined sign-ins with on-screen fingerprint scanning and two tap gestures to wake the tablet Samsung may have streamlined a little too far by removing their headphone jack but they try to make up for it with the addition of quad speakers and their dual rear camera the s6 comes with a new S Pen Stylus that now sports a more angular lighter design while continuing to be a great tool for drawing or taking handwritten notes when using the pen a small icon appears on the screen that acts as a shortcut to productivity apps like notes and screen writing this makes jotting down miscellaneous notes and to-do lists easier than ever before although writing on screen doesn't feel quite the same as writing on paper and the Pens weight may be strange for someone more used to the weight of a traditional pen or pencil the stylus gets the job done by gliding smoothly across the screen and accurately recording the writing the updated S Pen also recognized air actions like waving a magic wand you can perform certain actions like scrolling through media changing camera settings or adjusting volume by moving the S Pen through the air as much as I would love to be a real life wizard air actions are great in theory but missed the mark in action they are limited to only a few apps and are difficult to do clearly enough for the device to recognize the command in the end it seemed to take more time waving around the stylus than it does to just tap on the screen to charge the s-pen magnetically attaches to the Nook in the back of the tab although the pen can be secured for the ten minutes needed for a full charge the magnetic notch is not intended for storage especially if you want to avoid losing the stylist instead an additional case or the book cover keyboard like this one is recommended just like the stylus in the tablet itself the keyboard also has been updated the most notable change being the addition of a trackpad and a row of function keys that include a quick launch button for Dex mode just like the EDS for surface pro and other tablets the new book cover keyboard is not included this is frustrating because it's what makes this habit feel like a reasonable laptop substitution the tab x6 comes in blue blush and gray it costs six hundred and fifty dollars for the base model and seven hundred and thirty dollars with the premium model both include the S Pen Stylus but not the keyboard cover which cost an additional 180 dollars even with these great added features choosing an Android tablets a tough call the tab x6 doesn't really give a compelling enough case to ditch the surface pro or the iPad pro even if some of its features are good or even better than its competitors you
