Samsung has made an exciting addition to its tablet lineup with the release of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 edition across European markets and the UK. This fresh offering boasts refined features and enhanced performance compared to its predecessors. With the official launch, Samsung unveiled a range of specifications but chose to keep the powering SoC under wraps during the initial announcement.
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 distinguishes itself with a robust set of specs: a 10.4-inch LCD with a crisp 2,000 x 1,200-pixel resolution, a durable 7,040 mAh battery supporting 15 W wired charging, a 5 MP front-facing camera for video calls, an 8 MP rear-facing camera for capturing moments, and a seamless performance backed by 4 GB of RAM.
The mystery behind the device’s SoC has now been cleared up.

The Exynos 1280 is constructed using a 5 nm process and is coupled with ARM Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A78 CPU cores alongside a Mali-G68 MP4 GPU, promising an efficient balance between performance and power consumption. Connectivity options with this chipset include Wi-Fi 5, as well as comprehensive cellular connectivity with support for Sub-6GHz, mmWave, and LTE Cat 18.
At launch, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 is available in various configurations to cater to different needs and budgets. Options include a 64 GB storage model paired with Wi-Fi-only connectivity, a more expansive 128 GB storage variant also with Wi-Fi, and a version with 64 GB of storage paired with LTE connectivity. Consumers looking for a bargain have a limited-time opportunity as significant discounts have already appeared on retailer websites as part of their Easter sales, running until April 14.
