The original Galaxy Tab S6 Lite was one of the best-selling Android tablets of Samsung, which is why they introduced a refreshed version of the slab back in 2022. It is tipped a 2024 version or third iteration is soon to be revealed. Supporting that claim is a set of leaked pictures of the device, revealing a familiar design but in a new colorway.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) colors and specs
Based on the uncovered listing (via 91Mobiles) of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024), the tablet is shown to carry an identical design as its predecessor. Mainly, a portrait form with modest bezels around the display and an aluminum chassis exactly match the 2022 model. What’s noticeably different is the color, which has a new mint green finish that will be offered in addition to graphite (black) and pink.

The listing also confirms the upcoming Galaxy Tab S6 Lite’s specs. Internally, an in-house Exynos 1280 SoC is going to replace the Snapdragon 720G, which should add extra oomph to the tablet in terms of processor performance and efficiency. The chip is said to be configured with 4 GB of RAM and in 64 or 128 GB expandable storage.

Apart from a new chipset, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) features a newer Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. The rest of the device’s specs appear unchanged. Essentially, it incorporates a 10.4-inch TFT LCD screen in 1200 x 2000 pixels resolution along with an S Pen compatibility, which is pictured to be bundled. Meanwhile, the tablet keeps the 8 MP rear camera, 5 MP selfie snapper, and 7040 mAh battery capacity.
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) should be running on the Android 14 OS with skinned One UI 6.1 out of the box, which is another reason why fans from dated Android slabs should upgrade to. It’s unclear if we will be getting extended software policy support this time.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) price
In terms of pricing, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) costs €429 ($465) a pop for the base Wi-Fi model while the LTE variant starts at €459 ($499). If you want to double the storage, the Wi-Fi model retails for €489 ($530). Samsung is set to launch the device first in India anytime soon.
With this price, it seems the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) is a reasonable alternative to the recently launched Galaxy Tab A9 in design and build material. However, the latter does bring a faster display and a cheaper pricing, at least in the USA.
Do you think that there’s still room for a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite in Samsung’s tablet lineup? And do you agree Samsung should stop making a refresh to its older slabs? Tell us your answers in the comments.
