Apple iPad 10 VS Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022): features, differences and prices

Apple’s iPad is the undisputed king of tablets due to its wide catalog of applications and good performance, but we must not lose sight of the market for Android devices, since proposals such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) are very interesting for users looking for a quality proposal to consume multimedia content, web browsing and various entertainment. We compare it with the iPad 10 to find out its features, differences and prices.

Features iPad 10 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

• Screen: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 Edition incorporates a 10.4-inch TFT LCD screen. This technology has lower production costs and allows lowering the price of the device, but its quality is not as good as the iPad 10, which is IPS and its viewing angles are better, as well as color reproduction. The screen size of the iPad (2022) is 10.9 inches.
• Processor, RAM and storage: Processors in Apple mobile devices generally provide very good performance, and the A14 Bionic chip of the iPad 10, which although it is not the most recent from the company, offers better performance than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. It will be noticeable especially in more demanding tasks, such as when playing titles with greater graphic load, something that will cost the Snapdragon. Storage options are 64 or 128 GB on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022), expandable by Micro SD, and 64 or 256 GB on the iPad 10.
• cameras: Another point where the iPad (2022) wins is in photography. Its 12 MP cameras offer higher image quality, and the Centered Framing function on the front promotes better video calls. The cameras, historically, have never been the strong point of tablets, and in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite they are quite normal, with just the right quality for specific moments such as video calls.
• Battery: Apple ensures that its iPad 10 is capable of lasting around 10 hours per charge with normal use of multimedia content consumption and web browsing. Samsung, for its part, comments that its Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) can reach up to 14 hours of autonomy per charge with use based on Internet browsing connected to a WiFi network.
• OS: As usual, the iPad 10 has iPadOS 16, which is the operating system developed by Apple for its tablets. The 2022 Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite comes with Android 12 upgradable to Android 13 and the One UI 5 customization layerwhich has special features that are not available on any other Android tablet, and therefore the experience is not pure Android.
• connectivity: Despite both tablets have USB-C with 2.0 speedsiPad (2022) supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, so its features are better than Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022), which are WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0.
• Others: One of Samsung’s successes with this tablet has been to include the S Pen, your stylus, which allows you to write or draw comfortably and with great precision. This accessory is also available on the iPad, but the Apple Pencil is sold separately (and it’s not a cheap accessory). The sound of the Samsung tablet is compatible with Dolby Atmos. On the other hand, the iPad 10 has its own official keyboard with trackpad (which is not cheap either), and in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) it is possible to connect a Bluetooth keyboard.
• Price: the iPad (2022) starts at 579 euros for the version with the base configuration, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) is available from 429 euros.
