82 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews

The Samsung Tab S6 is praised for its excellent condition, performance, and value, especially as a renewed or discounted model. Users highlight the vibrant AMOLED screen, good battery life, and included S-Pen, though some report S-Pen connectivity issues that sellers promptly resolve. The main drawbacks are the lack of recent software updates and a finicky under-display fingerprint sensor.

  • Vibrant AMOLED screen
  • Good battery life
  • Included S-Pen
  • Fast performance for age
Cons
  • No recent software updates
  • Under-display fingerprint sensor issues
  • S-Pen connectivity problems
