The Samsung Tab S6 comes with a 7040 mAh battery, it runs the same looped video for 9 hours 38 minutes which gives it a pass rating. Because most of the tablets will give you a 5 to 8-hour screen on time. But this is giving almost 10 hours. And the only major downside is the charging speed. With this much big battery, you need to at least have 30+ watt charging but Samsung just doesn’t offer that.
