Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite review

Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is the lowest-priced tablet on this list and still includes a pen. Samsung's US page lists a 10.9-inch display with up to 90Hz refresh and Vision Booster, the Exynos 1380 chip, and two memory options: 6GB with 128GB of storage or 8GB with 256GB. A microSD slot adds up to 2TB. Battery is rated at up to 16 hours of video playback, and Super Fast Charging is supported. The S Pen works with Handwriting Help and Object Eraser, so kids can draw and adults can mark up photos without buying an accessory. The Armor Aluminum body comes in Gray, Silver or CoralRed. The compromises are speed and durability: the Exynos 1380 is older than the Exynos 1580 in the Tab S10 FE, its battery rating is 4 hours lower, and Samsung's page does not list an IP rating. For $50 more, the iPad (A16) offers a stronger app library for kids and a 12MP front camera.
