I just bought a S9 FE yesterday, here in Brazil, at least on Amazon both devices are around the same price. I was surprised by you saying that there's a 100 USD gap there. Thank you for the review.
It's definitely not worth it here in Brazil, as it's new the price is very high. But it's a good opportunity to catch s9 fe. S9 fe R$2379 ($469) Vs S6 lite 2024 R$2249 ($443), at the "normal price" it would be a great product. R$1260 ($249)
Some programs have an option to not allow you to draw finger lines when the pen is in range, Clip Studio and ibis Paint have this and it CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I have an Older 6s Lite and the Layers are it's weakness, I tend to draw single page Images, and I have a limit of around 30-40 layers in Clip Studio Paint before it starts Crying running out of memory but I STILL LOVE IT, but I do need to transfer my more complex works to my Laptop or Desktop version and us the PC version of Clip to finish. This situation makes this the PERFECT sketch book I ALWAYS carry it with me in case I get inspired of feel like working on a Sketch or line art
The only upgrades are 64GB storage instead of 32GB and a marginally better CPU. The Tab S9 FE/FE+ on sale will give you better value (more RAM and storage and a noticeably better CPU). I have the Tab S6 Lite 2022 and I'd rather wait for the S10 FE (or the FE+ if that's a thing).
I bought s9 like for 500 dollars in my country fe costs almost same, i think you can buy s9 if you find with a good price because probably s10 series will be much more expensive
It's great that you talked about how the devices handle large files, I draw in A3 600 dpi or in 24x36 300 dpi using an s7fe + and madibang paint , without lags or crashes.

I'm surprised that they decided to do a rerelease again, I got the 2022 version last year and it has been working well. But I agree with the other comments if you have a bit more budget you should get the tab s9 FE when it's on sale. However I'm sure this will also be on sale eventually and maybe this can be enough for some people. I also have a similar experience as Brad, sometimes you do see a bit of lag with the interface and sometimes it runs just perfect, the speakers are great, it has a headphone jack, micro SD slot. I have used it for simple sketches/drawings on Krita for now, I'm happy with it.
I use the almost 5 year old non-Lite Galaxy Tab S6 as a daily device and love it. This is the SuperAMOLED 10.5" screen one, which is still better than almost everything else. It's got 8GB Of RAM/256GB, WiFi. The Snapdragon 855 processor makes it a multitasking dream, especially Since OneUI 4.1 update. I found it refurbed/New unboxed for slightly over $300 two years ago. Since I have this for similar money, it's hard to get excited about the Lite with much lesser specs
@@Charmeddiscord absolutely!! it was the first portable art tablet that i got with a screen that i used for starting out. got mine in 2020 and its still decently good but be wary there is a bit of lag on it with the newer firmware and such, but using it for art is still pretty good i'd say. but if you want a bit more performance i'd go for 2022 / or 2024 :]
I just recently purchased this as my 1st pen tablet, paid around 240 euros of it. For that price point, it was a no-brainer. It performs really well and drawing is very responsive. I've had no issues with palm detection, I've just turned that on in every app I use, if they have it. Battery performance is solid as well, though I don't really use it on anything else than sketching and digital inking.
For pro work anyway it's better a desktop (saying this while being a proud owner of a S7 FE). The FE (anything from 7 to 9) line is really good, the S7 FE has great audio, it's snappy, great consumer device. I don't really see the point for professional work, though (many reasons why, don't want to make this comment longer). A pro monitor (and some Benqs are very close to that, yet affordable) and a classic tablet, or a pen display if you can't handle pen tablets, is so much better for actual work. Even an average 16.1"/17" laptop and a pen tablet provides with better 'professional' usage, and still fit in a bag. The FE line, and for same reasons, also the expensive line: the S9 Ultra, Plus, etc, the whole thing, really, is fun, and nice for sketching on the go, but for that - specifically pencil sketching- I have found that Amazon's Scribble (but really only for B/W/greys pencil sketching) is almost better, cheaper and better for your eyesight (no aggressive back light). Indeed, despite the propaganda, Scribble is much more responsive for drawing than a Remarkable, having deeply tested both (I happily kept the Scribble). Also more responsive in the pen strokes than Supernote, as well. While also good and comfy for books, tutorials reading (which you can just copy by USB port, no need to buy on Amazon), etc. Then again... Having lately doubts about if just picking a moleskine or a less trendy/money-grabbing old paper notebook, is not only just as good, but much better (for on-the-go sketching). Kind of more pleasant.
Its worth every penny if your starting out, i just bought one for 200 bucks and use it to sketch, then transfer the skitches to Corel and convert it to vector art.
Just starting/trying out Digital Art or on a Budget? Portable and Standalone Tablet= Always compare S6 Lite 2024 with the S9 FE Prices, S6 is mostly not worth it, go for the S9 FE on Sale! Not "really" Portable Drawing Tablet for your PC/Laptop = Huion Kamvas 16 (2021)! (Cheaper and better for Drawing but without all the Tablet functions)
Impressive little device. Its amazing how you get so much for such a great deal. I still prefer Apple, but I would argue this is probably the best tablet to get for a beginner getting into digital art. Side note please tell me your going to publish this graphic novel!! Would love to check it out if you do.
Haha, sooo the graphic novel... I'm pretty early in the process (like page 4) so It's at least 2 years away. But it's something I wanted to do and so I figured I would draw panels from it in reviews and just slowly chip away at it while making videos.

Great review, thanks! Just bought the S9 FE with 256GB storage for €50 more than the new S6 Lite. The 256Gb S9 FE has 8Gb of RAM, instead of the 6GB the 128Gb version has, which makes it very useable for larger files too. Paired with the higher refresh rate, quite a bit faster cpu/gpu and just a little larger screen, it's worth the extra €50, but even if it only was the 8Gb over 4/6Gb, it's worth it to me. Seeing this review confirms for my personal needs I made the better choice.
for a beginner illustrator or sometime planning to do a little of digital art, which is a good place to start. A 2017 iPad pro - cheaper Or A 2018 iPad pro - costlier and newer Thanks in advance.
what is the real difference between s9 and s6 , I mean does the price difference justify the specs ! even s9 is Amoled display it is still under UHD like s6
A few questions. Using a matte screen protector would affect the sensitivity? Can this be plugged to a PC to work with Adobe illustrator? So the drawing is vectorial, right? Why would you use a huge canvas size?
hey i have a question, i bought the 2024 edition not to long ago and it's been a life saver in terms of endeavors with art, however i am finding the Spen's tip that came with the pen to already be wearing down, do you have any recommendations for finding replacements if it finally does wear down to much?
Hi. I'm a professional traditional artist. Lately I have been trying to learn digital art. Do you think this tab would be sufficient for a professional artist (although beginner in digital platforms) or should I save up for an ipad? I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks.
I used your link to purchase one yesterday. Should get it tomorrow. Can you suggest the best program for beginners to draw? We aren't artists by any means but will want to fiddle around.
hello! ibis paint, the program that he is using in the video, I have heard is very good and robust. It's free with ads, but they're not too intrusive. Medibang is another free option, but I haven't used the mobile version so I don't know if it's as good as the computer program. Clip Studio Paint is a paid subscription program but probably the most robust program you can get on a mobile device, its basically the same as the computer version.
I recently got a Galaxy Tab s9 FE for $350. That seems to be the new normal sales price for it. I think that almost makes the s6 lite obsolete. Surely you get a lot more for only $100. But if the s6 starts going down in price it might be more attractive especially for kids or less demanding users.
I have recently purchased an Android Tablet (S9 Ultra) and am wondering what drawing app should I use if I want to have no subscription (I don't mind a one time purchase). Most of my drawing are either more on the anime type, but I also like to draw some landscapes, portraits, etc.
I am an Apple user but I do love the Samsung tablets because they aren’t as expensive as an iPad and the pen is INCLUDED. Would the Tab S9 FE be a decent tablet to draw with? I would love an iPad Air but I don’t want to spend around $800
Does the pen have those things where if you push harder, it paints with higher opacity? I hear you saying "great pressure sensitivity", but on the sales pages theres no mention of any pressure levels
I have been drawing for 20+ years but i newer have done digital art is s6 lite sufficient to start learning digital art or should i go for something like s9 fe?
For a starting point s6 lite may be sufficient, but to be a bit future-proof, s9 fe would be better & more valuable. However I suggest you go to a Samsung store and get the experience first (not necessary to buy from the store) because then you get the actual sense of what you want (I did the same thing) .
hi brad, i heard that a displaylink dock could be used to output hdmi from the Galaxy tab s9 fe. do you happen to own one? if so could you please test the tablet with a huion pen display? I love the tablet so much, but it's kinda a deal breaker that i can't connect it to my huion for larger screen. much love❤
tested, didn't work with huion bcs huion kinda suck with their thing on android hence their own tablet didn't even use their pen tech. xp pen might work but i don't own one
I like that they are keeping this budget S-Pen model alive... however... they need to do more than just upgrading the SoC. If they make a 2026 S6 Lite it needs to have 6gb of ram and a 90hz panel... because right now, at $310, this model doesn't make any sense, I can buy the S9 FE for only slightly more.
I chose xppen magic drawing 500$. 12 inch, 8\256gb, matte screen and the most important was that they have a TUV certification that doesn't make my eyes to burn and no headache
Adobe Sketchbook is actually good for Tab S6 Lite , especially because you can block touches by fingers when the S-pen is within 1 cm / 0.3 inch nearby the screen
Lets just said I have a computer where I can apply 6 month free then start to pay a wopping 1dolar per month for CSP. So for me at least, the comment on "factored price" is not that real. The fact that also the program is about 50usd permanent for pc...
thanks for your video, it is very informative. i just want to ask if you can connect Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 to a monitor using Samsung Dex? I hope you may help me clear this before I buy. Thanks
A few months ago, I bought the 2022 version of the S6 Lite, and it's really perfect for my needs. I got it for about the same price as this one seems to be now, because back then, it wasn't out yet and was supposed to be almost double the price. I don't regret it at all (and with what I heard about the S9 FE now, I probably wouldn't ever have got this anyway.) Mine's nice and portable and perfectly fits all my needs. :3
For anyone that got this thing for free like me and just want to know if it's worth keeping. Yeah it's decent. Doesn't need to be compared to anything else because of it's price. Can't speak for the art side of things but in general use it's pretty solid.
Amazon refurbished deals can have the s7 and s8 models (+, ultra, fe) as low as 300 maybe even lower if u don’t mind having refurbished product I’d recommend to look around those instead of an s6 lite
The only thing I really miss in my S6 Lite 2022 is the fingerprint reader. Otherwise it is an excellent tablet, fingerprint reader is the only thing that would make me think about upgrading.
@@kycerap204 no, the opposite. I would like to have a fingerprint reader in Tab S6 Lite. In fact, I recently bought a Galaxy Tab S8+ on a sale solely because I want a fingerprint reader.
I have a 6 Lite just as a throw around tablet to just carry and have for email and watching YT, but it's great to know I can do a bit of doodling on it. I have last years, I guess, so I hope it still works well for it.
for 1/3 price of this samsung s6 2024 i bought lenovo P11 gen2. And i still believe its a better device for any creative person. Yes Spen is better but ntrig aint that bad. More screen space, better colors, similar performance, more ram.
As soon as I get my Tab s9fe I'll buy a beginners course.. I just want to be able to draw my ideas much clearer and with perspective 😅 This will be my first digital art course !
At this point in 2024, the S6 lite in any version only makes sense if you are going to use it exclusively for drawing, because in the rest of the functions the Xiaomi Pad 6 (270 USD 256 GB + 50 USD pen) or the Lenovo M11 are infinitely better. Samsung has been stingy in updating its product.
You seem to be doing more reviews on Samsung and standalone drawing tablets pls when you start doing drawing tabs again pls review the veikk vk1200 because my friends keep telling me it's nice and all but I don't really know
Im finally replacing my tablet, i have an older s7 model and my tablet is around 5 years old. My computer also died recently so im looking for a product that can replace Both (im not a big computer person thow and dont do heavy stuff on it.) and i dont know what to buy, i have had an ipad and likes the programs but didnt like the appel pencil.

Im looking for this tablet for office 365 , one note, catalogue browsing, I work as a sales rep, been using my s24 ultra for note taking but looking for a tablet now
I still have the original S6Lite I still love it's midpoint between bang for buck and portability . Ibis paint is also my go to quick app for drawing
Does this tablet support pressure sensitivity?
as far as I know, it does. The S pen uses Wacom tech so you have pressure sensitivity and tilt @argyd8995
I'm confused. I'm thinking about s9 fe but this is almost half of it.

How would you say this stacks up to the XP Pen Magic Drawing pad? I know it's more expensive, but spec/experience wise?
What is the typical file size for a full blown comic or illustration?
Why does this tablet keep existing??
Still no hdmi out? is the only thing preventing me from buying one to carry everyday
Do you have the Wacom Movink 13. I’m considering it but awaiting your video.
Which pen is better the Samsung s pen with Tab S9+ or Lenovo Precision pen 3?
Any reason to buy it instead of 2022 version? The only reason I see is that it will be supported longer.
slightly better performance with exynos 1280, but i recommend the s9 fe as the bare minimum
I like that they are keeping this budget S-Pen model alive... however... they need to do more than just upgrading the SoC. If they make a 2026 S6 Lite it needs to have 6gb of ram and a 90hz panel... because right now, at $310, this model doesn't make any sense, I can buy the S9 FE for only slightly more.
Would one of the dedicated huion drawing tablets that need to be hooked up to a computer yield a better drawing experience for the price?
I chose xppen magic drawing 500$. 12 inch, 8\256gb, matte screen and the most important was that they have a TUV certification that doesn't make my eyes to burn and no headache
I see this for like $150, would it bw good for that price?
bargain man
Adobe Sketchbook is actually good for Tab S6 Lite , especially because you can block touches by fingers when the S-pen is within 1 cm / 0.3 inch nearby the screen
A top quality renewed/used S8 with a return policy goes for like 350 USD for the 8gb ram model. I’d get that before almost any other budget tablet.
Does this come with 6 months of Clip Studio like my S8 Ultra did? That should be factored into the price of so.
Lets just said I have a computer where I can apply 6 month free then start to pay a wopping 1dolar per month for CSP. So for me at least, the comment on "factored price" is not that real.
The fact that also the program is about 50usd permanent for pc...
Does this version of the Tab S6 Lite support HDMI-out with Dex?
nope
No it does not
try cabless
can i know what is the thing on your hand? and where did you got it i kinda need one
thanks for your video, it is very informative. i just want to ask if you can connect Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 to a monitor using Samsung Dex? I hope you may help me clear this before I buy. Thanks
which app are you using on the S6 lite for your graphic novel?
Clip studio paint and Ibis Paint X
Looks like Ibis Paint
A few months ago, I bought the 2022 version of the S6 Lite, and it's really perfect for my needs. I got it for about the same price as this one seems to be now, because back then, it wasn't out yet and was supposed to be almost double the price. I don't regret it at all (and with what I heard about the S9 FE now, I probably wouldn't ever have got this anyway.) Mine's nice and portable and perfectly fits all my needs. :3
For anyone that got this thing for free like me and just want to know if it's worth keeping. Yeah it's decent. Doesn't need to be compared to anything else because of it's price. Can't speak for the art side of things but in general use it's pretty solid.
Amazon refurbished deals can have the s7 and s8 models (+, ultra, fe) as low as 300 maybe even lower if u don’t mind having refurbished product I’d recommend to look around those instead of an s6 lite
Great video. What is the white pen you were using at the beginning? Thank you in advance 🙂
s pen
The only thing I really miss in my S6 Lite 2022 is the fingerprint reader. Otherwise it is an excellent tablet, fingerprint reader is the only thing that would make me think about upgrading.
Yours have a fingerprint reader?
@@kycerap204 no, the opposite. I would like to have a fingerprint reader in Tab S6 Lite. In fact, I recently bought a Galaxy Tab S8+ on a sale solely because I want a fingerprint reader.
In Switzerland, you can get the S6 Lite 2024 for 200 bucks (US$220). It's a no-brainer to buy it.
I have a 6 Lite just as a throw around tablet to just carry and have for email and watching YT, but it's great to know I can do a bit of doodling on it. I have last years, I guess, so I hope it still works well for it.
Does it still have an AUX port?
1:08 goddamn the vascularity of this man's hand. I can see you as a hand model for tools.
Side quips aside, Thanks for the review!
for 1/3 price of this samsung s6 2024 i bought lenovo P11 gen2. And i still believe its a better device for any creative person. Yes Spen is better but ntrig aint that bad. More screen space, better colors, similar performance, more ram.
Anyone recommend this being a good tablet for my 7 yr old???
Yes it will be just fine, you could consider the 2022 version, it's probably a bit cheaper.
Any chances we will get process of you making your comic? As a digital maker myself I’d love to see those steps and why you take them.
on my country the s9 fe is 510$ and s6 lite is 440$
Thanks for all your tablet reviews. If you have a chance, we can also review Lenova tab 12 tablets.
S9 fe currently £449 and S6 lite 2024!is £349. So much higher price points
I have one of these man is it slow.
did you know that the video vieving resolution is UHD , even s9 is FHD .... check it out . tell me later pls
Hi Brad,
Is there a chance you can also review huawei MatePad 11.5”S Tablet with the own Gopaint app?
Thank you!
are you able to send tablets to people who need them for school?
does it make phone calls?
Just got mine for £135 brand new on ebay its going to be my first digital tablet dedicated for drawing
I still have my Original Tab S6 (not the Lite) and it's still going strong. Great series of tablets
What app did you use in redmi pad 6 review vedio please tell? And where we can get that app
As soon as I get my Tab s9fe I'll buy a beginners course.. I just want to be able to draw my ideas much clearer and with perspective 😅
This will be my first digital art course !
At this point in 2024, the S6 lite in any version only makes sense if you are going to use it exclusively for drawing, because in the rest of the functions the Xiaomi Pad 6 (270 USD 256 GB + 50 USD pen) or the Lenovo M11 are infinitely better.
Samsung has been stingy in updating its product.
Currently $199 on Amazon for Prime Big Deal sale. Crazy good deal.
I prefer no charger but a sPen included than 129$ extra for a pen.
wich one its better, this or de 22 one?
Of course it's the new one.
Thank you for this. The crash stopped me from wasting my money as the typical canvas I work with is 4000x3000.
Which app for drawing useing
I'm planning a graphic novel as well and I wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy tab s6 lite. But it wasn't available in my location 😢
The pen doesn't have palm rejection?
Does it get eye comfort shield?
You seem to be doing more reviews on Samsung and standalone drawing tablets pls when you start doing drawing tabs again pls review the veikk vk1200 because my friends keep telling me it's nice and all but I don't really know
Absolutely I have my eye on that one as well
@@leahscontemporary exactly
Hey. What about the s9 or s9+?
Does the Ipad air also open and run these big files?
ipads have minimum hardware , mini6 has 3 Gb
I'd like to know how the xp pen magic pad coped with the large files. Where it fits between galaxy offerings.
Is the Face ID any better?
how about huawei tablets? i think huawei has a good drawing pen for android
Im finally replacing my tablet, i have an older s7 model and my tablet is around 5 years old. My computer also died recently so im looking for a product that can replace Both (im not a big computer person thow and dont do heavy stuff on it.) and i dont know what to buy, i have had an ipad and likes the programs but didnt like the appel pencil. I loved my older s7 and the s pen but i miss procreate
Hello, i think that the display is way too small for digital art, but it is question of preference.
Thank you for the review
How about that new Wacom Oled Review, really want to hear your thoughts on that
S6 lite or honor pad 9 pls someone suggest me
What's the app he's drawing on called?
Im looking for this tablet for office 365 , one note, catalogue browsing, I work as a sales rep, been using my s24 ultra for note taking but looking for a tablet now
I imagine these are relatively cheap for Samsung to produce. It would be cool if you still have the 2020 version to compare
I can't decide between 2024 s6 lite or Galaxy tab FE.
Better go for fe
