Samsung’s launch of the 2024 edition of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite went without fanfare. The slate is finally available in the US after quietly sneaking into several European markets. It’s cheap but capable – and now comes with a $100 gift card from Amazon.The base model has 64GB storage, but the microSD slot lets you add plenty more (as long as it doesn’t need to be fast storage). There is a 128GB version too, though even that one has only 4GB of RAM, which isn’t much for a 2024 device.This generation is powered by the Exynos 1280, other than that it is identical to the 2022 release....
