Samsung Galaxy tablets are notoriously infamous for receiving firmware updates later than Galaxy smartphones. The 2022 version of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite received the Android 13 One UI 5.0 update last year in December 2022. The update brought forth a lot of key changes. It was clear that Samsung was prioritizing the 2022 release over the 2020 version. Hence, the older version of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite didn’t receive the update until earlier today, as it is being rolled out to tablets across France (and eventually Europe).

The Android 13 One UI 5.0 update enhances the performance of the device while refreshing the settings menu and adding a new lock screen customization menu. The new update also promises better background app management and new multi-window gestures that make multitasking far simpler. Users can now find a new “Connected devices” section inside the Settings app to manage their devices more efficiently. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a 7040 mAh battery, and it’s powered by the Exynos 9611 chipset. At the time of launch, the tablet was available in two storage options, 64 GB and 128 GB.

The firmware update comes bundled with the latest November 2022 security patch, labelled as the firmware version P615XXU4FWA5. Galaxy Tab S6 Lite users should be able to update their devices to Android 13 by going to their Settings app, clicking on “Software update,” and tapping “Download and install.”

After rolling out new updates for its smartphones, Samsung has now started updating its tablets, and one of the first ones to receive the new Android 13 operating system is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

Some of the users in France who own the mid-range Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite have started receiving the new update that brings the company’s custom interface One UI 5.0 based on the Android 13 operating system.

As of now, the update is limited to the LTE model, and that too within France. However, we expect the update to roll out to the Wi-Fi only as well as to other regions in a few weeks or months.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite LTE version (SM-P619) is getting a new firmware version P619XXU1BVK6. Although its the 2022 model of the device getting the update, the 2020 model is also eligible to receive Android 13 update and the rollout could take place soon.

Coming to the specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite features a 10.4-inch LCD screen offering a 2,000 x 1,200 pixels screen resolution, which supports the included S Pen stylus. Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

In the camera department, there’s an 8-megapixel snapper at the back and a 5-megapixel front-facing snapper for taking selfies and video calling. It comes with a pair of AKG-tuned speakers with Dolby Atmos support. As for the software, it runs the Android 12 operating system with One UI 4.0 custom interface and the device is powered by a 7,040mAh battery.

While Samsung had launched the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite two years ago, we had recently reported on the company working on newer models under the same series. Now, another new certification listing has confirmed some of its features. So let’s have a look.

For those unaware, we had reported on the new version of Galaxy Tab S6 Lite being spotted on various certification websites earlier this week. Now, the same tablet may have just been spotted on FCC database. Previously, two different models were spotted on Bluetooth SIG and one of these have been listed on FCC. This variant carries the model number SM-P613, and the listing confirms that it features support for dual band Wi-Fi.

Another aspect confirmed by the FCC certification website is the support for S Pen. The South Korean tech giant’s upcoming tablet will apparently also come with a 15W charging rate. Unfortunately, this was all the information that was found on the website. Although, we do have some previous reports that hints at some of its possible specifications. As per our initial report, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite will be powered by a 5G enabled Qualcomm processor.

The model number of this chip revealed that it is the Snapdragon 720G that is paired with an Adreno 618 GPU. Furthermore, the tablet is also expected to run on Android 12 out of the box and feature 4GB of RAM. As of right now, the support pages for the tablets are live in France, so we can expect an official announcement to follow soon after.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab A7 in India in late September 2020. The tablet was introduced in both WiFi-only and LTE variants. But unfortunately, the company only debuted the 32GB version. Now, months after its release, the South Korean tech giant is finally bringing the 64GB variant to the country. Additionally, it has also announced ‘Back to School’ offers on Galaxy tablets for students

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 64GB India Launch

Samsung announced the arrival of the Galaxy Tab A7 64GB variant to India in a press release. This version of the tablet will go on sale on Samsung online store, Amazon India, and Flipkart from April 19.

Interestingly, the company did not reveal the price of this version. Also, it did not clarify whether the 64GB variant will be available in both WiFi-only and 4G editions. Anyway, we expect to learn about it before it goes on sale next week.

For those unaware, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 features a 10.4-inch TFT LCD panel with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels (WUXGA+), Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, 3GB RAM, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, GALILEO), USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and MicroSD card slot.

Other features include an 8MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass, One UI 2.5 based on Android 10, 7,040mAh battery, and 15W fast charging.

Along with the One UI 3.1 update, Samsung has been bringing productivity features to its tablets. Earlier, the Galaxy Tab S7 series got second screen support with the update. Now, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite gets Samsung DeX.

An update with build version P615XXU4CUBB is rolling out to the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite users. The update not only brings the latest One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 improvements but March 1 security patch and features like Samsung DeX.

For the unaware, Samsung DeX is a software platform to make your smartphone/tablet into a desktop computing machine. It initially required a DeX Station/Pad as an accessory. Later, it got reduced into an HDMI adapter. This made users connect to external monitors/displays and enjoy a desktop experience.

The 2019 version required a cable to connect it to a screen. With the launch of Galaxy Note 20 last year, it finally went wireless. Anyway, this makes you work on a bigger screen having a UI that feels like a desktop.

Do note that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite which launched in 2020 features a sub-par Exynos 9611 chipset. Hence, the performance of DeX might get hampered a bit. Anyway, the update also brings other improvements to features as follows:

• Revamped UI
• Digital Wellbeing & Parental controls
• Dedicated Media Player widget in Quick Settings
• One-time permissions and Permissions auto-reset
• Conversations
• Improved Stock apps(like Samsung Keyboard, Internet, and more)

If you are a user of this yesteryear tablet, you can go to Settings > Software update > Download and install and try out the new features.

It’s also worth noting that Samsung launched this tablet with One UI 2.0 based Android 10 OS in 2020 so we can expect two more android upgrades for it as it is a part of the three-generations upgrade program.

The tablet Android market has experienced a serious downturn in recent years which has seen many OEMs drastically reduce their product catalogue. The Korean giant has kept faith with its tablet business but in a somewhat uninspiring manner. We recall how the company launched the LTE-enabled Galaxy Tab A 8.4 (2020) with little to no fanfare. Again Samsung has gone official with the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite without much publicity. The tablet is now officially listed on Samsung Indonesia’s official website.

Before now, the tablet has featured in several leaks revealing the renders and specs. It has even been reportedly listed by several carriers and e-retailers including in South Korea. Thus, there is little left to the imagination but this official listing confirms the hardware and software details. Here we go.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite features a 10.4-inch display with a decent WUXGA+ resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels. The tablet is powered by an Octa-core processor whose identity wasn’t revealed on the website. However, it is believed to be either the Exynos 9610 or 9611 chipsets. The processor is paired with 4GB of RAM while there are 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage variants available. The internal storage is expandable via a microSD slot.

The tablet comes with an S-pen stylus just like its sibling. It equally packs dual speakers with AKG and Dolby Atmos enhancements, a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port. For photography, there is an 8MP rear-facing camera and 5MP selfie shooter. It comes pre-installed with Android 10-based One UI 2.

Further, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite packs a mammoth 7040mAh battery which supports up to 13 hours of continuous video playback between charges. Despite the huge battery, the tablet is just 7mm thick and weighs 467 grams.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Pricing and availability

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite comes in Oxford Gray, Angora Blue, and Chiffon Pink colour options. Earlier listing on B&H which was later pulled down shows the tablet will retail for $350 for the 64GB Wi-Fi-only variant and $420 for the 128GB Wi-Fi-only variant. There is no word yet on when it will go on sale.

Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has been anticipated to launch any moment from now but there has been hardly any information on the launch schedule. It was even tipped that the device will be launched on April 2 but that obviously did not happen.

However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite launch may be closer than you think. A number of South Korean retailers have reportedly listed the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite online, meaning that Samsung is about to officially release this product.

The landing page for the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite on one of the retailer’s website shows that the device will use a constant-width four-frame design. The tablet will feature a large 10.4-inch screen with a resolution of 2000×1200 pixels. The design is somewhat similar to the iPad Pro and it also comes with an S Pen. The tablet has a dimension of 24.5×15.4×0.7cm, weighing in at 798g.

In terms of specifications, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite will be equipped with an Exynos 9611 processor which contains four 2.3GHz A73 large cores and four 1.7GHz A53 small cores. The processor is bundled with a Mali G72 MP3 GPU. The process is said to bring support for 5G connectivity to the device. The tablet equally comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB storage options. The tablet will run on Android 10 OS and packs a massive 7040mAh battery.

The device will sell for the equivalent of $350 in Korea which isn’t a bad price. However, we expect the price to be slightly higher outside Samsung’s home market.

Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has been certified by the US FCC. The product is listed with the model number SM-P615. The tablet had earlier received Bluetooth SIG certification with the same model number. We won’t also fail to add that the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite was also benchmarked on GeekBench bearing a similar model number.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite looks like a trimmed-down version of the Galaxy Tab S6, Samsung’s most powerful tablet. The Tab S6 boasts of an AMOLED display as well as a Snapdragon 855 chipset onboard. Samsung even announced a 5G version of the Galaxy Tab S6 last month.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite isn’t a flagship model but a mid-range one. The GeekBench listing revealed the tablet will be powered by an Exynos 9611 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 855. The device will also come with 4GB of RAM as against 6GB RAM on the Galaxy tab S6. For connectivity, the FCC listing confirms the presence of 4G/LTE connectivity. The earlier Bluetooth SIG certification had confirmed the presence of Bluetooth 5.0 on the device. The tab S6 Lite is also tipped to come with wireless charging support.

However, there are no details on the screen size and type as well as if it will retain the S Pen stylus used on the flagship version.
