Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite: Review

Tablets have weirdly become a tech item mostly associated with older people.

It's perhaps due to their larger calibre and displays that they're not as embraced by the younger generation who are more entranced with mobile tech and the more portable items that can be used.

However, in the case of the S10 Lite, that's doing a disservice to a bran and an experience that's more than capable of holding its own in this ever-more mobile world.

With a 10.9 inch display and a crystal-clear resolution of 2112x1320 pixel resolution, the tablet's picture is nothing short of astoundingly good for a model that's more suited for a mid-range device.

That brightness works well for watching videos on the tablet, with strong stable Wifi connections guaranteeing that the playback doesn't stutter and stumble as it unspools. Connection is incredibly quick and stable, ensuring there's no dropout even when the device is away from an internet source that's been hooked up to it. 

Equally, the sound from the speakers is strong too, even for an internalised device. It may lack some of the power of headphones and some of the bassier elements of music lovers, but for those looking for playback and sound to simply be of a stronger-than-usual level of output, this more than meets the mark.

It's also light to hold too, something which occasionally gets overlooked by reviews. Long term use of a tablet is usually reserved for a stand to set it to one side while doing other things, but the portability of the unit also ensures that from prolonged periods of reading or even doing emails and light work, it can be held without feeling any permanent effects from the device itself.

Running an Exynos 1380 processor and a battery with 8000 mAH that supports super-fast charging and runs for around 8 hours, the tablet can power through any kind of proposition put before it, ensuring that work can be done and leisure can be, well, leisurely.

With the longer battery life too, the device and its portability could be enough to ensure this device becomes a go-to for workers on the go, and perhaps students looking for a way to ditch the laptop. It's responsive, smartly packaged and packs enough power to ensure that its high-quality design will appeal to a wider audience looking for a lower-priced unit.

NOT TESTED with this device - the tablet from Samsung came without a Pen or portable keyboard that would have allowed for more rigorous testing of use in a workplace environment or for students on the go.
