Which is better!

The facial recognition on S6 is a little bit faster and seems to be better than the S6 lite, just because there’s a virtue of having a better processor and a better camera on the front. Otherwise, they’re both running ONE UI 2.1 which is the latest Android 10.

The Tab S6 light on this price point is a really good tablet you can play Call of duty mobile and PUBG on lower settings. And S6 you can play Call of duty, PUBG in the best graphic setting possible. The S6 is basically a laptop replacement, especially when you attach the keyboard to it, it can go into laptop mode which is really nice.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is definitely worth $650 but that doesn’t mean that the S6 lite is bad. It’s great if you just want a tablet and you like being in the Android world.
