Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung Galaxy Tab S6
“Hey! Both apple and Samsung have these profiles you can make for certain situations. So if you'd want to disable f.e. YouTube, social media, messaging services, etc. you could do that in a specific 'focus' profile. This way only certain apps that you allow will be accessible while you're busy with school work, so no distractions! I've personally used and/or tried out the Samsung Galaxy tab S6 Lite, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, and the iPad 9. The advantage i think the samsung tablets have is that you get the S-Pen included with the tablet for free. Whereas with apple it's another, at least, 89 euro charge for the apple pencil. For the s6 lite and S7 FE, the samsung base pencil doesn't have to be charged so you can use it indefinitely, whereas every generation apple pencil does need to be charged. Apple does offer some really good note taking apps that Samsung doesn't have (yet). However the Samsung Notes app is really good in my opinion. The apple pencil is a lot harder at the tip so it feels a lot more like writing on paper, especially of you add one of those paper like screenprotectors over it. If you really like the paper feel then that's a good option. The S-Pen is softer which makes the writing feels super smooth and almost soft. It's personal preference really.”
“Buy the S8+ instead, it'll be cheaper. Don't buy the Samsung S6 Lite because the ram ( might not be enough for your usage (4GB RAM) and it might have terrible backlight bleeding”
